Abstract
The literature on research utilization and policy mak- ing suggests that decision processes involve both rational, intellectual analysis and social or political interaction. Several writers suggest that this relationship also exists in the recreation and resource management fields, but few studies treat the issue explicitly. This paper presents a case study of river research in Grand Canyon National Park. It illustrates the role of research in the political decision process, develops generalizations from the case study, and ties them to the utilization and policy literature.
