Social -- Recreation Evaluation of Forest Roads and Their Suitability for Trails: Towards a Complex Approach
Original language description
Marked trails in forests usually make use of forest roads. Nowadays, the selection of a suitable forest road is predominantly, if not solely, based on the technical aspects of the road: the running surface and the available facilities enhancing their suitability for outdoor activities. However, the quality of the surrounding forest stands and their suitability for recreation -- their social-recreation potential -- are not considered. We hypothesize that it is possible and desirable to evaluate forest roads using one other criterion -- the potential of the social-recreation function of forest roads according to the social-recreation suitably of surrounding forest stands. Degrees of the social-recreation value of a forest road were calculated as the weighted average of the degrees of the values of individual surrounding forest stands and the values of the significance/weight according to the length of individual forest stands along the road. The data were processed graphically using the
