摘要

The Effective Recreation Opportunity Set (EROS) Set index is an economic measure of the availability of recreational opportunities to households and was developed for use in the 1989 Renewable Resources Planning Act Assessment. EROS indices are location specific, and can be calculated for any desired recreational environment or opportunity set using existing resource, population, and recreational travel behavior data.
