Abstract
Abstract Landowners (n‐353) along a stretch of the Hudson River in New York responded to a mail questionnaire concerning present and future use of their open space land. Respondents were asked to rate their acceptance of eight methods for preserving their open space. Acceptance of preservation methods ranged from 61 percent for “support land use controls such as zoning”; to 13 percent for “make an outright donation to a charitable organization or government.”; For most preservation methods, landowner acceptance was associated with the perceived importance of receiving tax deductions and other nonmonetary incentives, level of education and income, and the presence of historic landmarks or archaeological features on their land. Other factors were associated with particular preservation methods. Study results have implications for agencies and organizations that want to improve their strategies for implementing and marketing open space programs.
