First published in 1970, Recreation Research and Planning brings together some of the pioneering work done in Britain in response to the problems that have arisen from the growth of mass recreation since 1955. In an age of intense and increasingly competitive demand for land and natural resources for a variety of purposes, of which recreation is perhaps one of the fastest growing, the need for research and planning is essential. This book’s purpose is to show the relationship between the two and focus attention upon some of the more important aspects of recreation research and planning. It will be particularly useful for students and researchers of geography and planning.

Reviews of the first publication:'Of undoubted ine‘This book should find ready acceptance as a text or reference work in any university department where courses in recreation are taught. It should also find a respected place on the bookshelves of researchers or planners in the service of governments or consultants. It must be rated as one of the best volumes of its type available to the academic and professional community.’— Gordon D. Taylor, Journal of Leisure Research‘Of undoubted interest to planners, sociologists and those concerned with outdoor leisure activities.’— County Councils Gazette
