Determination of recreation potential in three urban forests

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper presents the results of an assessment of the recreational potential of urban forests in three Eastern European cities carried out by a field survey method. The main criteria for assessing recreational potential were their suitability for recreational use by local inhabitants, the viability of ecological characteristics and the level of management. Fifteen social and ecological characteristics of urban forests were selected as indicators, which were scored and integrated to estimate the recreational potential of the forest. Field data were processed and assessed using ArcGIS software. It was found that large parts of these forests have medium to high recreational potential depending upon their area, age, density of trees and management status. This assessment method proved to be useful for rapid and objective assessment of recreational potential of urban forests and parks because of its simplicity and comprehensiveness and its suitability for use in widely diverse geographical locations. The results of this assessment demonstrate that the method can be used by urban authorities to assess the current ecological status of their urban forests, to determine forest recreational potential and to identify measures needed to improve these forests to meet the ever−increasing demand for recreational opportunities by inhabitants of cities.
