Abstract: Conflict between development and conservation interests in national parks is real, yet intractable to market resolution. Aggregate willingness to pay for recreation and landscape indicates growing value being given to conservation. However, resource shortages have recently increased emphasis on material production. Land-use policy represents a combination of objectives concerning quality of life, population level, and resource conservation. The extent of conflict between these objectives is contentious, and existing techniques of evaluating their achievement are barely defensible. Even individual land-use decisions significantly influence attainment of all three objectives. To treat them properly requires an evaluation radically different from existing techniques.
