Abstract
This study forms part of a wider research programme aimed at developing improved planning
methodologies for resource management. The overall programme focuses upon the
estimation of socio-economic effects of land use change in ruraI environments, using the
Mackenzie/Waitaki Basin as a case study. The contribution of this report is to present the
results of an investigation into the attitudes of stakeholders, using a preference approach.
The results of the preference survey are used to generate several land use scenarios for the
study area.
