This study has been carrid on to choose the areas which are important for recreational uses from the standpoint of regional open spaces and recreational planning the Kinki Region. There are so many approaches to this aim, but it was tried to get the recreational potentialities in these areas from two aspects; one is to analize the potentiality of the humman behavior for recreation activities within the Kinki Region and the other is to evaluate the potentality of recreational resources in the Kinki Region. The area potential as to human behavior of recreation actities was recoginzed through five steps which are indicated as follows;
1. Establishment of origin station for recreation activies; it was composed with the daily movement of commuters and students and twenty-three origin stations were grouped by interdependence of each city and county.
2. Classification of recreation activities; recreation activities were classified in four dierent types based on human behavior. These are (a) day to day behavioral area under 25Km cycle (b) day to day behavioral area between 25-50Km cycle (c) day to day behavioral area between 50-100Km cycle and (d) behavioral area over 100Km cycle.
3. Establishment of behavioral area; it was figured by physical distance correspond with recreational types from the origin point in each origin station.
4. Calculation of recreational popuration; there are so many ways to calculate the recreational population but it was tried to calulate fromthe as pect in recreational types which were shown above and it was analized from the view point of present time and in future.
5. Estimation of the recreational potential energy for areas; in this step, the results of above four steps were overlapped and the recreational potentiul energy bases on human behavior on each recreational types were investigated in Kinki Region as its density.
And the other hand, the area potential as to recrational resources was tried to lead from the aspect of the evaluation for potential value of resources which were classified bases on relationship between the nature and the artificial. The evaluation for potential value of each area was discussed with number of indivival esources, and as the results of this study, each area in Kinki Region was divided into four ranks.
Finally, on the bases of these two potencialities, the important areas for development and conservation for recreation activities were visualized in the Kinki Region.
