“…For visitors who visited the Calligraphy Greenway, the attribute with the greatest utility was the recreational service quality (34.08%), so visitors considered the recreational service quality to be the most important factor, which is in agreement with the results of previous studies [28,31]. The recreational facilities that visitors considered to be most important include walking paths, street lamps, public restrooms and trash bins.…”

“…The recreational facilities that visitors considered to be most important include walking paths, street lamps, public restrooms and trash bins. It may be inferred that the recreational service quality exerted the most direct impact on visitors' recreational experience because visitors regarded these recreational facilities as the most significant [28,31]. Bertram et al [28] indicated that cleanliness and maintenance are important preferences for visitors.…”

This study explores preferences for a set of attributes that characterize the recreational value of Calligraphy Greenway, the most notable greenbelt in Taichung City, Taiwan. As an urban green space, the Calligraphy Greenway has its own recreational attributes and visitors' preferences. This study uses the choice experiment method to determine visitors' preference levels for five major attributes to improve the recreational quality. On average, each visitor visited there 9.15 times in the past year and spent 2.37 h per visit. Of the five recreational attributes, satisfaction with recreational activity opportunities had the highest score and satisfaction with cultural landscape resources had the lowest score. The importance is ranked in the order of recreational service quality, total recreational cost, environmental landscape resources, cultural landscape resources and recreational activity opportunities. Considering difference of groups, female visitors were more concerned with cost and activities but male visitors were more concerned with service quality and natural/cultural landscape resources. Local visitors were more concerned with cost and activities but non-local visitors were more concerned with environmental/cultural landscape resources. Both were concerned with service quality. Based on the results, this study makes the following recommendations: cultural landscape resources and quality of recreational services and facilities should be improved and more complete interpretative educational guidance should be provided to increase visitors' willingness to visit. Additionally, it is suggested to set up various districts to cater for preferences of different visitor groups.

“…Accessibility, however, is not necessarily consistent with distance and relates to the experience of proximity and access to a special area. Accessibility may be affected by infrastructure, among others, and good accessibility seems to be positively associated with participation in active outdoor recreation (Andkjaer & Arvidsen, 2015).…”

“…These factors could be said to influence youth-driven force to visit recreational facilities (Omar et al, 2017). To be accessible to the recreational activity area is not necessarily related to distance and proximity, rather the availability that motivates, hence easy reach to the facility (Andkjaer & Arvidsen, 2015).…”

The adage "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy" implies the need for recreation; hence, the emphasis on the provision of recreational facilities for especially the children and youth. This paper provides an assessment of the provision of recreational facilities and participation in the activity among children and youth in Greater Jos. Plateau State, Nigeria. The study employed a mixed-method integrated data analysis, namely remote sensing and Geographic Positioning System that determined the places of recreation. The paper examined the concept and policy as it affects the provision of recreational facilities and found out that the challenges range from distance to recreational areas, inappropriate facilities, and being grossly inadequate. It further discusses the absence of the facilities in the sectors other than the core-city. To mitigate the problems mentioned above, suggestions proffered include the need for the provision of recreational facilities, to achieve equity, appropriateness, and adequacy. There should be the need to implement the policies with regards to the provision of neighbourhood facilities, SDGs Goals 3, and 11 that promote healthy lives. Hence, the wellbeing of children and youth, and the settlements inclusive that enhances safety and resilience.
