National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (FHWAR), 1991 (ICPSR 34636)
Released/updated on: 2013-10-30
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1991-01-01--1992-02-29
The National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (FHWAR) is a series conducted by the Census Bureau for the United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service. This collection contains information regarding fishing, hunting, and other wildlife-associated activities for 1991. The survey is conducted every 5 years and includes 3 waves. Wave 1 is household-based and consists of a screener with the possibility of detailed interviews asking about a person's hunting, fishing or wildlife-watching activities and the likelihood that they will hunt, fish or watch wildlife. Wave 2 and Wave 3 are person-based, detailed interviews in which respondents were selected for the sample based on data collected from the screener in the first wave. The Sportsmen and Wildlife-Watching surveys for Wave 2 and Wave 3 gathered specific information about respondents' recreational participation including species hunted, fished, and watched; the state in which these activities occurred; number of trips taken; days of participation; and expenditures for food, lodging, transportation, and equipment. The questions asked throughout the 3 waves have been organized by topic into 3 datasets. The three datasets, (1) Screener, (2) Hunting and Fishing, and (3) Nonconsumptive, may contain responses from people surveyed during multiple waves. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, marital status and parental relations, education level, household income, state of residence, and type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural).

Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: United States, Tennessee, Kentucky
Time period: 1977-01-01--1977-12-31
This data collection is a record of the types and amount of use, including both outdoor recreation and conservation and/or environmental education, which occurred in all four seasons of 1976-1977 at Kentucky's Land Between the Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area (which was administered at that time by the Tennessee Valley Authority). The survey was designed so that estimates of use could be revised annually for a three- to five-year period following the calibration year. The collection consists of two files of data. Part 1 contains data for 6,489 groups/persons who were interviewed with a specific and/or a general survey instrument as their vehicles exited the LBL. Variables measure recreationists' length of stay, types of activities pursued, attitudes and preferences about LBL management, ages, and occupation of the head of household. Part 2 consists of daily vehicle counts obtained by mechanical traffic counters for the entire year-long sampling period. There are 3,585 records representing counts from various exit points for each day of the study.
