NPS Socioeconomic Monitoring Needs Assessment
Gramann J, Breeding D, Cull E, Shingote R, Jiang J. 2010. NPS Socioeconomic Monitoring Needs Assessment
A strong mandate and need for socioeconomic monitoring exist in the National Park Service (NPS). These are expressed in the NPS strategic goals for science, in statements by the NPS leadership, and in the report of the Second Century Commission. The need for socioeconomic monitoring also was identified in an external review of the NPS Social Science Program and supported in the 2008 Interior Appropriations Bill Joint Explanatory Statement. In response, an NPS Socioeconomic Monitoring (SEM) working group developed a statement of mission, goals, and objectives that emphasizes collecollecting, organizing, and making available high-quality social science trend data to NPS managers.
