Description
It is now widely recognized that recreation is as important as work. This book analyzes leisure and outdoor recreation in terms of both their management and their wider importance to society. Specifically, this text clarifies the link between leisure, recreation, tourism and resource management; reviews contemporary outdoor recreation management and concepts; critically examines approaches to outdoor recreation planning and management in diverse recreational settings; and considers the future of outdoor recreation and the potential influences of economic, social, political and technological developments. The analysis considers such issues as provision for people with special needs, the impact of outdoor recreation on the environment, and outdoor recreation in both urban and rural contexts.
