| Research Abstract |
It is necessary to develop a new method for evaluating forest from environmental values and to establish a guideline for eco-trail planning which makes a chance of communication between man and forest. Potential Up Method, PUM, was proposed to a new method for evaluating various functions of forest. Potential of wood production, soil and water conservation, and life and environmental conservation was determined. Total of such potential was used for route location. Before opening a forest for recreational use, rules of utilization must be determined. Cases in Denmark and a research forest of Oregon State University where volunteers maintain trails were discussed. The relationship between intensity of exercise and gradient of trail when walking was clarified. From the results energy consumption map was prepared. It is concluded that the most appropriate grade was 10 - 15% or 15 - 23% for keeping amenity when walking by the investigation of field exercise. Mountainous area could be characterized by relief and slope, and combination of monorail and trail was designed from the points of walking load and time.
