Evaluation of Recreational Function of Forest using Forest Environment Data Files

Abstract

Recreational function is one of the most important functions of forest. But there are only a few researches in which that function is evaluated, because there are few base data for evaluation.
In this study, evaluation method is investigated through a case study using forest environment and stand condition data files. Though those data files are for the forest environment management and timber production management, it is found that those data files are available for evaluation of recreational function of forest to some extent.
