Outdoor Recreation and the Urban Environment
This volume offers a critical view of the development of outdoor leisure resources in the urban environment. Looking at how the urban environment is currently used and evaluated, Stephen Williams examines the many pressures which can act as an impediment to the effective planning of recreation areas. A range of urban areas are discussed, from public open spaces to private gardens and the street. In thinking of how to plan for the future, the author calls for greater flexibility, imagination and creativity in the way we accommodate urban people at play, Offering an integrated synthesis of urban recreational patterns and needs, this volume will appeal to students and researchers in sport, recreation, leisure and related areas.
Tourism and Recreation in Rural Areas
Recent years have witnessed a change from the passive, low key use of rural areas for recreation to the explosion of tourism as a highly active and dominant agent of change and control in the countryside and associated rural communities. This book considers the effects of rural recreation and tourism with special reference to: * the economics of rural restructuring * public sector rural policies * imaging and reimaging * the social dynamics of rural change * sustainability of tourism and recreation in rural areas Contemporary reflections of each of these issues are brought together by Richard Butler, C. Michael Hall and John Jenkins from experts in Australasia, North America and Europe. The book provides a critical evaluation of the enthusiasm and promotion given to this growth industry by government and private bodies, and examines opportunities and challenges associated with the development and management of tourism in a rural environment.
