<br />resource to human use or adaptation. The following existing and
<br />
<br />future uses and demands on the resources should be considered.
<br />
<br />1. Relationship to population - The degree that the area can or
<br />does receive use. Consider time and distance factors relative to
<br />origin of users and location of resource,
<br />
<br />2, Public acceSR - The degree or extent of area open to public

<br />5. Legal and/or administrative restrictions to public use -
<br />Consider both positive and negative effects. (i.e., overuse may
<br />be detrimental to the resources, whereas too many restrictions
<br />may preclude satisfaction of recreation demands),
<br />
<br />6. Physical protection - The degree of change .expected to occur
<br />as a result of natural processes, considering the amount of land
<br />management practices expected.
