Variable General Info
Recreational opportunities ?Comment:We determined the number of recreational opportunities within major forested areas from Dane County Parks Division (70), which provided detailed information about nature trails, picnic areas, mountain biking opportunities, etc. for major parks and wilderness areas. |

|
Qualitative (Class, Rating or Ranking) ?Comment:We classified the number of recreational opportunities into 10 natural breaks using Jenks optimization and rescaled it to a range from 0 to 40. For other small, forested areas that lack information about recreational features, we conservatively assumed that these areas at least could provide basic recreation opportunities, such as hiking or bird watching, and we assigned them a value of 5. |
