Symposium on Remote Sensing for Resources Development and Environmental Management / Enschede / August 1986 Analysis and evaluation of recreational resources with the aid of remote sensing D.van der Zee International Institute for Aerospace Survey and Earth Sciences (ITC), Enschede, Netherlands ABSTRACT: Everywhere in the world the pressure on the recreational resources is increasing, proper management of these resources is dearly needed, and for this good information is indispensable. Airphoto interpretation can give an important contribution to such information. Analysis of the present situation may reveal what recreational activities are attracted by which recreational resources. By a study of sequences of airphotos the process of developments can be analysed,the impact of the recreation on the landscape assessed, and an indication of the spatial behaviour of recreationists obtained. Analysis of this impact and of the spatial behaviour can give a more detailed understanding of what use is made of which specific (parts of) recreation al resources. Next to physical suitability and accessibility of the terrain, the general attractivity of the area in which the recreational activities take place can be evaluated by special methods, in many of which airphoto interpretation is an important tool. RESUME: De partout dans le monde la pression sur les ressources de loisirs augmente, une aménagement adéquate de ces ressources est indispensable et nécessite de bonnes sources d'information. L'interprétation des photo graphies aériennes peut contribuer fortement a l'obtention de cette information. L'analyse de la situation présente peut révéler par quelles ressources sont attirées certaines activités de loisirs. Par une étude à l'aide de photographies aériennes séquentielles, le processus de développement peut être analysé, l'empreinte des loisirs sur le paysage peut être étudiée, ainsi que la conduite spaciale des uti lisateurs des activités de loisirs. L'analyse de cet empreinte et cette conduite spaciale permet une compréhension plus détaillée de l'utilisa tion de quelles (intégrales ou partielles) ressources spécifiques de loisirs. En plus des propriétés physi ques et l'accessibilité du terrain, l'attrait général de la région dans laquelle les activités de loisirs ont lieu peut être évalue par des méthodes spéciales. Dans plusieurs de ces méthodes l'interprétation des photo graphies aériennes joue un role important. INTRODUCTION Next to landevaluation for all kinds of agricul tural, grazing, forestry or other landuses, land- evaluation for recreational landuses is becoming more and more relevant also in developing countries. Increasing numbers of people take part in recrea tional activities and the income from tourism is a welcome support to the economy of many a country or region. Everywhere in the world pressure on the recreational resources is increasing. Therefore proper management of these resources is dearly needed. For such proper management good information is indispensable and can be best presented in a land(scape)evaluation proce dure. In the inventory and analysis phase of such a procedure remote sensing techniques - so far mainly airphoto interpretation has been used - are very important. SOME BASIC CONCEPTS Landevaluation is a method or procedure in which specific land uses or "land utilisation types" (lut's) with their requirements are confronted with "land (mapping)units" (lu's) with their character istics and qualities in order to establish which land units are in what degree suitable for which land utilisation types (FAO, 1977). Before starting the discussion on the application of this procedure to the topic recreation, this term, and some related terms, may need some defini tion in order to avoid misunderstandings. Out of the many definitions of recreation the following defini tion is preferred: "recreation": refreshment of body or mind by activities or a planned inactivity un dertaken because one wants to do it, without any moral, economical, social or other pressure (Zee 1971: 6; 1985: 1). It is a rather wide definition of recreation and comprises a large variety of activities from watch ing television to mountain climbing. But since the majority of these activities concentrates in and around the home (Cosgrove 1972: 22), only a few .are relevant to consider as land utilisation type. Recreation in almost all cases is associated with "leisure" or "leisure time". Leisure is the time left after the economic, social and other obliga tions are fulfilled, it is discretionary time, to be used as one chooses (Clawspn 1966: 12). Although leisure and recreation are highly correla ted, they are not the same. Leisure is time of a special kind; recreation is activity (or inactivi ty) of special kinds (Clawson 1966: 12). Another term recreation is frequently related to is "tourism". Tourism can be considered as re creation, but not all recreation is tourism. Tour ism can be defined as those types of recreation for which one leaves the home environment for shorter or longer duration. Many definitions of tourism emphasize the staying one or more nights away from home and the using of facilities and services (Biichli 1962: 23-28; Robinson 1953: 91; Defert 1952: 127), and clearly are formulated from the point of view of the "industry" that provides tra velers (= tourists) with food, lodging and enter tainment and indeed sometimes this industry itself is defined as "tourism" (Pearson 1961: 448). The difference between recreation and tourism therefore seems not to be a difference in activities between recreationists and tourists, but rather the distan-
