First published in 1971, Experiments in Recreation Research examines critically the techniques of assessment, measurement, and projection for use in studies of the supply and demand aspects of sport and recreation. The research was carried out in two main partsâ"first, a desk study of previous social research relating to recreation, covering such areas as questionnaire and interview surveys, time budget diaries, non-survey methods of data collection and forecasting techniques; and second, a series of experimental studies which seek to throw more light on the usefulness of particular techniques and concepts for the future planning of recreation opportunities.

The merit of the book lies in its application of social research and statistical methods to recreation planning problems. Many of the experimental studiesâ"such as those employing cluster and factor analyses and gravity modelsâ"have direct and immediate relevance to the solution of specific planning problems. Because of this, the book will be of vital concern to town planners as well as to those persons involved in the planning and management of urban and rural recreation facilities of many kinds. It should also be of interest to research workers and teachers in other fields where techniques of this kind might be applicable.
