Rural Land Use and Sale Preferences in a Wyoming County
研究了怀俄明州苏布莱特县居民对三类农业用地的使用和出售偏好，发现多数人支持保留灌溉农田，而富裕和兼职居民更倾向住宅用途，结果对西部其他增长中的县有参考价值。
<i>This paper explores preferences for use and sale of three types of agricultural land in Sublette County, Wyoming. Most respondents agreed that productive (irrigated) landscapes should remain in agriculture. Well-established residents, large landowners, and those pursuing low taxes preferred agricultural and recreation/ wildlife uses of more remote landscapes. Wealthier and part-time respondents were more likely to prefer residential use. Respondents expecting improved quality of life with population growth supported land sales. Those who would leave the county if population increased were not likely to sell. Results are applicable to other growing Western counties and are important for land use planning.</i>
