Fundamental Problems on the Planning of Suburban Recreational Woods

Abstract

From devastations of woods and forests in urban areas and increasing of holidays and weekend free times of the citizens, people would like to go out to suburban woodlands and natural landscape areas for their outdoor recreation activities. In the early stage of the planning process of recreational woods, the planners have to consider the following three important problems: site selections, site dimension and distribution of recreation facilities in the forest area. In the next planning stage of recreation woods, we must also check more precisely recreational properties and attractiveness of the forests, recreational carrying capacity and the placement of recreation equipments in the forests.
