Research in the Design of Recreation Facilities1

R. M. SIDAWAY

The Countryside Commission Cheltenham

This paper reviews the contribution that systematic direct observation of visitor behaviour can make to the design of forest recreation areas. While observation can be used in the assessment of the function and management of sites, its major contribution will be in re-ordering the layout of facilities. Burton's study of Cannock Chase led to interesting conclusions on the capacity of recreation areas, notably that peak use can best be accommodated at heavily used areas. Greist's work in Maine is significant in suggesting theoretical developments in understanding recreational behaviour largely based on observation studies.
