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进版德尔菲调查（modified Delphi survey），该调查旨在征询专家关于棕熊栖息地内休闲活动的发生情况、发生频率及其潜在影响的专业见解。本次调研共邀请12位棕熊领域专家，其入选标准为以下二者之一：1）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。受邀专家需针对其熟悉的棕熊种群，估算各项已确认休闲活动的发生频率，估算受每项活动影响的特定棕熊种群占比，并说明此类休闲活动对对应棕熊种群的潜在影响。最终调研结果将报告休闲活动类别的发生频率以及受影响棕熊种群占比；同时本数据集还统计并报告了认为休闲活动可能对棕熊造成存活率降低、营养摄入减少、生境驱离以及繁殖率下降等影响的专家占比。
