Garnet Ghost Town
Visitor Survey
Introduction
In order for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to comply with the Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA), and better meet the needs of the public; a visitor satisfaction survey was conducted at
24 BLM recreation sites in 13 states during fiscal year 2012 (FY12). The survey was developed to measure
each site's performance related to BLM GPRA Goal 3.1 - Provide for a quality recreation experience,
including access, and enjoyment of natural and cultural resources on DOI managed and partnered lands and
waters; and Goal 3.2 - Provide for and receive fair value in recreation. The information collected during the
survey will also help the BLM better serve the public. The survey collected visitor satisfaction data
regarding visitor information (i.e., use of maps, signs, brochures), developed facilities, managing recreation
use, resource management, BLM staff and customer service, and educational and interpretive materials.
The results of the visitor satisfaction survey conducted at Garnet Ghost Town are summarized in this data
report. A description of the research methods and limitations can be found on the next page. Below (left) is
a graph summarizing visitor opinions of the "overall quality of recreation experience." The satisfaction
measure next to this graph is a combined percentage of "good" and "very good" responses. This is the
primary performance measure for GPRA Goal 3.1 and should be used for reporting performance for this goal
(NOTE: the satisfaction measure may not equal the sum of "very good" and "good" percentages due to
rounding).
The response rate for this site survey was 98%. The graph and satisfaction measure summarizing visitor
opinions of the “value for fee paid”, which is the primary performance measure for GPRA Goal 3.2, can be
found on page 9.

Understanding the Results
Inside this report are graphs that illustrate the survey results. The report contains 8 categories of dataregarding BLM amenities, staff, and services plus selected demographics. Within these categories are graphsfor each indicator evaluated by site visitors. For example, the Visitor Information category includesindicators such as “providing useful maps and brochures,” “adequate signs on site for direction,” and soforth. In each category there is a graph entitled “Everything Considered”. This graph is the basis fordetermining visitor satisfaction for each category and GPRA reporting numbers.
Each graph includes the following information:
• The number of visitor responses for the indicator;• The percentage of responses which were "very good," "good," "average," "poor," and "very poor;"• A "satisfaction measure" that combines the percentage of total responses which were "very good" or "good;" and•!An average evaluation score (mean score) based on the following values: very poor= 1, poor= 2, average= 3, good= 4, very good= 5.
• The higher the average evaluation score, the more positive the visitor response• Graph percentages may not equal 100% due to rounding

Understanding the Results
Inside this report are graphs that illustrate the survey results. The report contains 8 categories of dataregarding BLM amenities, staff, and services plus selected demographics. Within these categories are graphsfor each indicator evaluated by site visitors. For example, the Visitor Information category includesindicators such as “providing useful maps and brochures,” “adequate signs on site for direction,” and soforth. In each category there is a graph entitled “Everything Considered”. This graph is the basis fordetermining visitor satisfaction for each category and GPRA reporting numbers.
Each graph includes the following information:
• The number of visitor responses for the indicator;• The percentage of responses which were "very good," "good," "average," "poor," and "very poor;"• A "satisfaction measure" that combines the percentage of total responses which were "very good" or "good;" and•!An average evaluation score (mean score) based on the following values: very poor= 1, poor= 2, average= 3, good= 4, very good= 5.
• The higher the average evaluation score, the more positive the visitor response• Graph percentages may not equal 100% due to rounding

Visitor Survey
Introduction
In order for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to comply with the Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA), and better meet the needs of the public; a visitor satisfaction survey was conducted at
24 BLM recreation sites in 13 states during fiscal year 2012 (FY12). The survey was developed to measure
each site's performance related to BLM GPRA Goal 3.1 - Provide for a quality recreation experience,
including access, and enjoyment of natural and cultural resources on DOI managed and partnered lands and
waters; and Goal 3.2 - Provide for and receive fair value in recreation. The information collected during the
survey will also help the BLM better serve the public. The survey collected visitor satisfaction data
regarding visitor information (i.e., use of maps, signs, brochures), developed facilities, managing recreation
use, resource management, BLM staff and customer service, and educational and interpretive materials.
The results of the visitor satisfaction survey conducted at Garnet Ghost Town are summarized in this data
report. A description of the research methods and limitations can be found on the next page. Below (left) is
a graph summarizing visitor opinions of the "overall quality of recreation experience." The satisfaction
measure next to this graph is a combined percentage of "good" and "very good" responses. This is the
primary performance measure for GPRA Goal 3.1 and should be used for reporting performance for this goal
(NOTE: the satisfaction measure may not equal the sum of "very good" and "good" percentages due to
rounding).
The response rate for this site survey was 98%. The graph and satisfaction measure summarizing visitor
opinions of the “value for fee paid”, which is the primary performance measure for GPRA Goal 3.2, can be
found on page 9.

Visitor Survey
Introduction
In order for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to comply with the Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA), and better meet the needs of the public; a visitor satisfaction survey was conducted at
24 BLM recreation sites in 13 states during fiscal year 2012 (FY12). The survey was developed to measure
each site's performance related to BLM GPRA Goal 3.1 - Provide for a quality recreation experience,
including access, and enjoyment of natural and cultural resources on DOI managed and partnered lands and
waters; and Goal 3.2 - Provide for and receive fair value in recreation. The information collected during the
survey will also help the BLM better serve the public. The survey collected visitor satisfaction data
regarding visitor information (i.e., use of maps, signs, brochures), developed facilities, managing recreation
use, resource management, BLM staff and customer service, and educational and interpretive materials.
The results of the visitor satisfaction survey conducted at Garnet Ghost Town are summarized in this data
report. A description of the research methods and limitations can be found on the next page. Below (left) is
a graph summarizing visitor opinions of the "overall quality of recreation experience." The satisfaction
measure next to this graph is a combined percentage of "good" and "very good" responses. This is the
primary performance measure for GPRA Goal 3.1 and should be used for reporting performance for this goal
(NOTE: the satisfaction measure may not equal the sum of "very good" and "good" percentages due to
rounding).
The response rate for this site survey was 98%. The graph and satisfaction measure summarizing visitor
opinions of the “value for fee paid”, which is the primary performance measure for GPRA Goal 3.2, can be
found on page 9.

Research MethodsSurveys were distributed to a random sample ofvisitors at this site during a selected period inFY12, The survey response rate is described on thefirst page of this report, meaning that 98% of thoserandomly sampled responded to the survey.Thedata reflect visitor opinions about this site'sfacilities, management, services, educationalopportunities, and fees during the survey period.Visitor activities and selected demographics werealso captured. A representative sample of thegeneral visitor population were surveyed atselected locations. The results do not necessarilyapply to visitors during other times of the year, orvisitors who did not visit the survey locations onsite.
Returned surveys were electronically scanned andthe data analyzed. Frequency distributions werecalculated for each indicator and category.
All percentage calculations were rounded to thenearest percent.
The survey response rate is described on the firstpage of this report. The sample size (n) varies fromfigure to figure, depending on the number ofresponses.
Caution is advised when interpreting any data witha sample size of less than 30. In such cases, theword “CAUTION!” is included in the graph. Thisreport excludes any indicator with less than 10responses.
For most indicators, the survey data are expected tobe accurate with in ± 6% with 95% confidence.This means that if different samples had beendrawn, the results would have been similar (±6%)95 out of 100 times.

Research Methods
Understanding the Results
Inside this report are graphs that illustrate the survey results. The report contains 8 categories of dataregarding BLM amenities, staff, and services plus selected demographics. Within these categories are graphsfor each indicator evaluated by site visitors. For example, the Visitor Information category includesindicators such as “providing useful maps and brochures,” “adequate signs on site for direction,” and soforth. In each category there is a graph entitled “Everything Considered”. This graph is the basis fordetermining visitor satisfaction for each category and GPRA reporting numbers.
Each graph includes the following information:
• The number of visitor responses for the indicator;• The percentage of responses which were "very good," "good," "average," "poor," and "very poor;"• A "satisfaction measure" that combines the percentage of total responses which were "very good" or "good;" and•!An average evaluation score (mean score) based on the following values: very poor= 1, poor= 2, average= 3, good= 4, very good= 5.
• The higher the average evaluation score, the more positive the visitor response• Graph percentages may not equal 100% due to rounding
