New Approaches to Rural Recreation Planning
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 May 2017
Extract
Outdoor recreation concepts, programs, and planning have developed at a fast rate during the last decade. However, most criteria, standards, and guidelines for recreation planning have been developed for urban areas and have limited relevance to planning in rural areas. It has become evident that rural towns have different needs, requirements, and opportunities, and require distinctly different standards and concepts than urban areas. The goals of rural people, the types of recreation needed and resources available, the financial situation, the leadership, and the land suitabilities all conspire against use of urban standards and indicate the need for procedures and standards designed for rural areas (2).
