Examining connectivity for recreation in rural areas - an initial methodology
in n/a
| Description | Recreational landscape functions/services within the area studied are negatively affected by poor connectivity of access routes. |
| Exploitation Route | Connectivity of rural routes for a variety of recreational users (on foot, horse and bicycle) is important for increasing recreational activity in these areas but is poorly served by existing data. Improvements could benefit both local populations and visitors, in terms of both health/activity levels and tourism. These findings can be acted on by local authorities and other mapping agencies, to both improve data and then account for connectivity when reviewing access provision. |
| Sectors | Environment,Leisure Activities, including Sports, Recreation and Tourism |
