Fundamental Studies on the Recreation Use and the Maintenance of Lawns

Abstract

The actual recreation use on the lawns were investigated at the Commemorative Park of the Osaka Exposition, in order to get a standard for the proper density of the recreation use, as the fundamental data for the turf maintenance. As the result, the hypothetical standards for the densities of recreation uses were obtained as follows; dense use: larger than 1, 000 persons/ha, nomal use: 400 to 1, 000 persons/ha, and proper use: 100 to 400 persons/ha. The authors intend to study the relationship between those standards and the turf growth.
