In 2014, the University of Maine partnered with the Bureau of Parks and Lands (BPL) to conduct an online resident survey on outdoor recreation to inform the SCORP planning process. Data collection occurred in April 2014. The survey examined recreational preferences in terms of outdoor recreation activities, amenities, and settings; and Maine State Park use and perceptions of services offered. Participants reported their gender, age, income, education level, and place of residence. The SUS-TAS scale was used to measure resident perceptions on sustainable tourism development.
