Recreation Survey Results in Brown Bear Habitats, 2013

These data are the results of a modified Delphi survey in which expert opinion was solicited on the occurrence and frequency of recreational activities in brown bear habitats and their potential impacts. Twelve bear experts were surveyed and identified by either 1) their scientific publications on the impacts of one or more human recreational activity on bears, or 2) their experience in managing bear populations impacted by human recreational activities. Respondents were asked to estimate the frequency of each identified recreational activity for the bear populations they have experience with, estimate the proportion of each specific bear population exposed to each activity, and indicate the potential impacts of recreational activities in those bear populations. The frequency of occurrence of a recreational activity category and the proportion of the bear population exposed are reported from the final survey. We report the percentage of experts that noted potential for an impact on reduced survival, decreased nutritional intake, displacement, and reduced reproduction.本数据集源自一项改良德尔菲法（modified Delphi survey）的调研成果，该调研旨在征询专家关于棕熊栖息地内人类休闲活动的发生频次及其潜在影响的专业见解。本次调研共招募12位棕熊领域专家，其参与资质通过以下两类标准认定：1）发表过关于一项或多项人类休闲活动对棕熊影响的学术论文；2）具备管理受人类休闲活动干扰的棕熊种群的实践经验。受访专家需针对其熟悉的棕熊种群，估算各类已识别休闲活动的发生频次、接触各活动的特定棕熊种群占比，并说明该类活动对对应棕熊种群的潜在影响。本数据集将呈现最终轮次调研中统计得到的各类休闲活动发生频次，以及接触各活动的棕熊种群占比。同时，本数据集还报告了认为休闲活动可能对棕熊造成存活率下降、营养摄入减少、栖息地驱离以及繁殖率下降等负面影响的专家占比。
