| description | This research investigated the usefulness of the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) for managing forest recreation in two natural protected areas of southern Durango, Mexico. We used onsite interviews to document the recreation activities visitors participated in, the characteristics of their preferred recreation sites, and socio-demographic information. A cluster analysis identified visitor groups based on the characteristics of preferred recreation sites and the resulting clusters were compared to the recreation activities and socio-demographic data to create a typology of visitors. We used the ROS framework to identify three classes in each natural protected area including (1) zones with easy access and basic facilities (ROS rural class), (2) natural-appearing zones with few facilities (ROS roaded class), and (3) reserve zones (ROS semiprimitive non-motorized or primitive class). Overall, the ROS framework appears to fit appropriately in these two case studies and could be used for recreation planning purposes in other forest areas of the country. |

Se investigó la utilidad del Espectro de Oportunidades de Recreación (EOR) para la planeación de la recreación forestal en dos áreas naturales protegidas del sur de Durango. Se usaron entrevistas de campo para documentar las actividades recreativas realizadas por los visitantes, las características de los sitios recreativos que ellos seleccionaron e información socio-demográfica. La técnica de análisis grupales clasificó los visitantes de acuerdo a las características de los sitios seleccionados y los grupos resultantes se compararon con las actividades recreativas realizadas y la información socio-demográfica obtenida. Con apoyo del EOR, se identificaron tres clases de recreación en cada área natural protegida, las cuales fueron: (1) Zonas con fácil acceso y servicios básicos ( consistente con la clase rural del EOR); (2) Zonas de apariencia natural con pocos servicios (clase de caminos del EOR) y (3) Zonas de reserva (clases semiprimitiva no motorizada o primitiva). De manera general, el sistema EOR se adecuó bien a las condiciones de los dos casos de estudio y podría usarse para actividades de planeación de la recreación forestal en otros lugares del país.
