THIS PAPAER DOCUMENTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MODEL FOR ALLOCATING TRAVEL DEMAND AND THE SUBSEQUENT APPLICATION OF THIS MODEL TO ALLOCATE RECREATIONAL DEMAND FORM THE CENTERS OF POPULATION IN CALIFORNIA TO THE MAIN ENTRANCES OF THE NATIONAL FORESTS IN CALIFORNIA. THE MODEL, WHICH IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF SYSTEMS ANALYSIS, FIRST DECOMPOSES THE RECREATIONAL SYSTEM INTO A SET OF ORIGIN COMPONENTS, DESTINATION COMPONENTS, AND TRAVEL LINK COMPONENTS. EACH OF THESE CLASSES OF COMPONENTS IS THEN MODELED SEPARATELY IN TERMS OF ITS CHARACTERISTICS. THE FINAL MODEL IS THE AGGREGATION OF THE MATHEMATICAL DESCRIPTION OF EACH COMPONENT AND THE MODE OF INTERCONNECTION OF THE COMPONENTS. THE MODEL HAS THE CAPABILITY OF ALLOCATING TRAVEL DEMAND IN ONE STEP. THE RESULTS OF ITS APPLICATION TO CALIFORNIA PROVED ITS ABILITY TO SIMULATE THE RECREATIONAL TRAVEL SYSTEM.
