Summary:
"Design for Outdoor Recreation takes a detailed look at all aspects of design of facilities needed by visitors to outdoor recreation destinations. The book is designed as a manual for planners, designers and managers of recreation, taking them through the processes of design and enabling them to find the most appropriate balance between visitor needs and the capacity of the landscape. A range of different aspects are covered including car parking, information signing, hiking, waterside activities, wildlife watching and camping. This second edition updates and broadens the coverage of the original book and incorporates new research and examples from overseas, including Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Eastern Europe."--BOOK JACKET.
