Description
This thesis was undertaken to empirically investigate the
reason or reasons for some municipalities to pursue a "high effort"
per capita allocation for recreation while proximate communities demonstrate
a "low effort." Twelve communities along the Florida Gold Coast
satisfied four criteria and were selected in this comparative study,
including Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami Beach. Comparable
per capita recreation allocations were computed from the adopted 1971-
72 municipal budgets. The Spearman rank order statistical test was
performed on twelve demographic, social and economic independent variables
to measure their association with the per capita allocations for
recreation. Results: the percentage of the population with an income
of $15,000 or more, and the tax quotient independent variables were
positively associated, whereas the density and percentage of population
18 and under independent variables were negatively associated with
the per capita recreation allocation.
