This issue and procedures for managing recreation impacts, includ- ing noise, are discussed in more detail in Clark and Stankey (1979a) and Harrison and others (1980). Vandalism and theft.—The distinction between day user perceptions of van- dalism and theft and those of campers is evident (table 24). More day users perceive vandalism and theft to be a problem than do campers, and more upper Clackamas campers felt that way than did campers in other areas. Perhaps more of the day users work or live in or near the area and are familiar with property theft and damage to logging equipment. In both groups, more respon- dents perceived vandalism as a problem than theft. How perceptions of recre- ationists compare to those of managers are discussed in Christensen and Clark (1979). Conflicts between recreation users.— With the general lack of regulation in the three areas, it might be expected that conflicts would occur between recreation users, especially because there are so many types of activities. But this does not seem to be the case when user percep- tions are examined. The difference between campers and day users is evident: day users see conflicts as more of a problem than do campers, perhaps explained by the backcountry orientation of the day users where encounters with other people are not as likely to occur (see table 15). This, too, may be one of the reasons day users do not camp in dispersed, roaded areas. Or, perhaps, day users have different sorts of conflicts with others than do campers. In general, our observations and these data suggest that dispersed, roaded area
