The level of urbanization is steadily increasing and has already surpassed 82 % in Central Russia. Urban ecosystems face environmental imbalances that can be mitigated through the use of green plants. Establishing an ecological framework plays a key role in addressing this issue. Natural ecosystems serve as the cores of the ecological framework. In urbanized areas, these cores may include urban forests, forest parks, and natural ecosystems forming green belts around cities.

Abstract:

Background: People are paying increasing attention to urban forest landscapes, and recreational landscape spaces (providing recreation and viewing functions) are an important part of the urban forest landscape. Visual tracking technology is a flexible and accurate modern research method. When this technology is applied to forest landscape evaluation, it can assist in explaining the content that could not be studied in depth in the past and has high application value. However, although an eye tracker can tell us what the user is looking at, it cannot tell us why they are looking at it or how th

Abstract:

An attraction to the forest and forest outings will be seen only as of the July Monarchy and the Second Empire. Seen with fear and even considered ugly, the 19th century forest changes its image to become a source of enjoyment, esthetic delight, recreational activity. The idea of protecting nature and landscape comes from the discovery of the forest landscape which becomes a cult, or a cultural monument. As of 1849, «pleasure trains» will link the Fontainebleau forest to Paris, allowing thousands of city-dwellers to discover it. What is the origin of this infatuation ? How did this new past-ti

Abstract:

Urban forests as green open spaces provide ecological, recreational, and aesthetic benefits. This study aims to determine the criteria for urban forests as recreational areas for urban communities. The steps taken include analyzing evaluation criteria and establishing standard criteria using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to determine the weight of the criteria. The results of the calculations show that the component criteria obtained are management (%), urban forest objects (%), visitors (%), accessibility (%), visitor activities (%), facilities and infrastructure (%).

Research Highlights: Forests, due to their aesthetic properties, have huge recreational potential, but their management must take into account the requirements of all parties interested in these services. Background and Objectives: We sought to determine the main indicators that characterize the structural diversity of a recreational mountain forest, with relevance for the management of these forests, given that they fulfill multiple functions. Materials and Methods: The structure of 446 stands was investigated and the Shannon (H) diversity index was applied at the level of species (Hsp), age

The questions were related to organization and supervision of forests, forest management and protection, recreational management and financing of forests, as well as main problems associated with the management of urban forests. The research indicated that forests, which altogether cover more than 10% of city area, have a very important function, despite the fores

Here, the impact of respondents’ socioeconomic status on visitors’ perceptions was statistically analyzed by t-tests and ANOVA (SPSS software v26). Meanwhile, multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify the relationships between factors shaping respondents’ perceptions of the AL-Sunut Forest during recreational activities.

Abstract:

This paper is focused on searching for the suitable discount rate to be applied to the valuation of a project related to forests in the USA, e.g., a recreational area inside a national park. To do this, we propose a new model based on hazard rate concepts, i.e., based on the risk that waiting time implies. More specifically, we derive the discount function whose instantaneous discount rate is the hazard rate of the system supporting the investment. We determine the rate of failure corresponding to different partition criteria of the whole system; in our case, we can use the information on fore

Abstract:

Non-Wood Forest Products (NWFPs) provide social and cultural services related to e.g., the tradition and social role of collecting berries, mushrooms and herbs. These services can be ranked among intangible outputs as a part of the recreational function of forests. However, their social value is only partially captured in non-forest activities. We used a Choice Experiment to explore individuals’ preferences towards NWFPs and associated services in Italy, Sweden, and Czechia. We estimated the individual marginal willingness to pay for the supply and maintenance of NWFPs. In addition, we analyse

Motives: There is a growing emphasis on assessing the value of forest social functions. There are no objective measures of the intensity and attractiveness of recreational forest use. It would be beneficial to obtain an independent expert opinion on the social value of forest complexes, based on a reliable methodology. It is imperative to ascertain how to objectively determine a forest’s social function and factors influencing it.

A growing need to lead a healthy lifestyle and to spend more time in nature causes an increased pressure on forests, which renders their social functions more and more important. In order to meet people's expectations, the State Forests undertake several actions to make forests more available to the public including the organization of running events in forests and the development of a network of recreational and running paths. In order to describe these actions, an online survey was conducted among the workers of forest districts. Additional data such as information published on the

AbstractThe true economic value of ecosystem services may not be reflected in market transactions, because there is no real transaction for ecosystem services in the market. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the cost of time and travel to define the value people place on something in the absence of a market price. This study estimates the recreational value of Ghaleh Rudkhan forest park in the north of Iran using the individual travel cost method. This method is considered to be a substitute approach for the market. The data required were collected using questionnaires. Therefore, 271 que
