I. Abstract
The National Park Service (NPS) will conduct a survey of Cape Lookout National Park visitors and a random sample of the general public in the local communities surrounding the park. The collection will be used to understand the social values visitors and residents of the local community place on cultural and natural resources of the park. The information from this collection will provide NPS managers and planners with scientifically sound data about visitors that can be used to prepare resource management planning documents.
Lessons learned from this study may be applied to mapping social values to support natural and cultural resources planning for units across the NPS system.
