我们研究了加拿大阿尔伯塔西南部荒野地区162起人员失踪事件。对失踪人员的旅行措施进行了安排，供搜索管理人员使用。具体来说，我们列出了乌鸦的飞行距离旅行和分散的旅行不同类别的荒野用户。无论迷路者是徒步旅行、越野滑雪还是山地自行车，户外旅行乌鸦飞行距离的分布都可以用韦克比方程来描述。数量分布的差异是符合常识的前和后国家荒野之间的地理区分。然而，对于那些从人际冲突中走开或沮丧的迷失者来说，这种分布有质的不同。(C)北京：科学出版社.
We examined 162 incidents of persons lost in wilderness areas in southwestern Alberta, Canada. Measures of travel by lost persons are organized for use by search managers. Specifically, we tabulated crow's-flight distance traveled and dispersion of travel by different categories of wilderness users. The distribution of crow's-flight distance of outdoor travel can be described by the Wakeby equation, regardless of whether the lost person is hiking, cross-country skiing, or mountain biking. Quantitative differences in the distribution are consistent with a common-sense geographical distinction between front and back country wilderness. However, the distribution is qualitatively different for lost persons who walk away from interpersonal conflict or are despondent. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
