All used same single‐item measure assess visitor judgments crowding. Dividing nine‐point response scale reflect percentage respondents reporting some degree crowding produced a rating for each setting. scores ranged 12 100%, with mean 57% (standard deviation, 22%). analyses suggest varies by time, resource availability, accessibility convenience, management strategy. Factors did not affect in...
