Social Groupies: How Different Groups Use Urban Parks

"Usually, people think about the kind of science that is concerned with things like Earth, or diseases, or space. There is another category of science known as the social sciences. The social sciences are concerned with the things that people think, feel, believe, say, or do. The social sciences may also be concerned about the behavior of groups of people. Groups could include American families living in South Africa, 12-year old boys in Oklahoma who play soccer, middle school science students in Tillman Middle School, or just about any group of people." [excerpted from Thinking About Science] This is a feature article from the Urban Forest Edition of the Natural Inquirer (Vol 6, No 1). It is based on the research article: Managing parks for a racially diverse clientele. Published in: Leisure Sciences, 24:143-159 (2002). Authored by: P.H. Gobster. [SCUFRI]
