“…Zhou et al (2013) carried out their study on the trail impacts on mammals and Li et al (2005) came to a conclusion that vegetation root exposure can be effectively prohibited by applying wooden and flagstone trails. However, there are much research in which trail impacts are parts of them (e.g., Qiang et al, 2002;Xu and Wall, 2007;Zhou et al, 2011;Xu et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2016;Chen et al, 2018). This obviously calls for more research on this topic.…”

A national social survey indicated that the most popular outdoor recreational activity in the USA was walking; 134 million (67 percent) of American people of sixteen years old or over participated into it (Marion and Leung, 2001). Walking happens on neighborhood streets as an everyday activity; however, more commonly on urban, suburban, rural or wildland recreational trails (Cordelll, 1999). Many recreational activities related to trails, e.g., running or jogging, biking, hiking, have experienced a dramatic increase in terms of the participation rate (Cordelll, 1999). Among all recreational activities, hiking is believed to be the most common one, which produces significant impacts on the ecological system (Cole, 2004). As one of the most common and important infrastructure components, trails are constructed and managed to provide not only an access to destinations in remote protected natural and nonroaded areas (Marion and Wimpey, 2017) but also safe and high quality recreational experiences (Marion and Leung, 2004), nature-based activities such as mountain biking and hiking (Ballantyne and Pickering, 2015a) as well as wildlife observation (Marion and Leung, 2001; Santarém et al., 2015). Hundreds of thousands of kilometres of rails for recreation are found in natural areas with a high value of conservation. In those areas, recreational trails also function as a protection of nature and natural resources from concentrating users' activities and their impacts on narrow and resistant trail surface (Marion and Leung, 2001; Marion and Wimpey, 2007). Therefore, recreational trails are of great importance socially and environmentally. Research have been done into various types of trails such as formal, informal, bare earth, non-specified, tarmac, paved, sand, gravel, grass and raised metal walkway (Ballantyne and Pickering, 2015b). However, no matter how many categories into which trails are classified, they do exert certain impacts on the environment. Those impacts can be different depending on their design, construction, location, maintenance and use (Ballantyne and Pickering, 2015a). China is now experiencing a rapid increase in demand for recreational activities in natural environment (Zhou et al., 2013). In order to meet this national need, China has set up many protected areas (PAs) such as national forest parks and national parks, increasing from 600 in 1990 to 2,750 by 2016 (Ministry of Environmental Protection, 2016). This poses great challenges to China because those PAs must be under proper management and face problems such as commercial interests and local human activities (Zhou et al., 2013). Many national parks in China have focused on social and economic benefits (Wang et al., 2012). Many problems have emerged in PAs, e.g., visitor crowding and larger construction or

“…Arnberger (2006) menyebutkan tujuan berkunjung ke THK di Kota Lobau Wina Austria dan Kota Nopporo Jepang untuk: 1) olahraga dan kesehatan, 2) menikmati pemandangan alam dan 3) untuk rekreasi. Hasil studi rekreasi di THK Fuzhou Cina menjelaskan pengunjung THK pada umumnya lebih memilih aktivitas yang berkaitan dengan fisik dan olahraga dibandingkan aktivitas sosial seperti kontak sosial atau kumpul-kumpul (Chen et al 2018). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, skor kepuasan aspek aktivitas berekreasi di ketiga THK adalah sebesar 4,91 di THK Suropati, 4,99 untuk THK Honda Tebet, dan 4,47 untuk THK Penjaringan Aktivitas berekreasi pada taman kota dan THK di DKI Jakarta secara umum sudah cukup baik.…”

“…Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Chen et al (2018) tentang kepuasan pengunjung di THK Fuzhou Cina menunjukkan bahwa faktor biofisik masih menjadi faktor utama penentu kepuasan pengunjung. Adapun aspek sosial psikologi seperti tingkat kenyamanan, fasilitas dasar, dan tingkat keramaian atau kepadatan pengunjung menempati urutan menengah dan bawah dalam memenuhi kepuasan pengunjung.…”

Faktor sosial dan psikologi sangat berpengaruh terhadap tingkat kepuasan pengunjung selama berekreasi di taman kota dan taman hutan kota (THK) dalam wilayah DKI Jakarta. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor sosial dan psikologi di dalam taman kota dan THK dalam kaitannya dengan tingkat kepuasan pengunjung. Data penelitian dikumpulkan dari responden dengan alat bantu kuesioner, menerapkan pola One Score One Indicator Scoring System. Jumlah responden sebanyak 600 orang dengan metode purposive sampling. Analisis data menggunakan metode importance performance analysis, customer satisfaction index, analisis statistik korelasi dan regresi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat lima aspek sosial dan psikologi yang mempengaruhi tingkat kepuasan pengunjung. Aspek yang memiliki nilai kepentingan tinggi dan nilai kepuasan tinggi adalah aspek atmosfer berkegiatan, sedangkan yang bernilai rendah adalah aspek keamanan dan keselamatan. Analisis korelasi Spearman menunjukkan bahwa dari kelima aspek sosial dan psikologi tersebut satu sama lain memiliki tingkat asosiasi atau hubungan yang sangat dekat dengan nilai koefisien yang positif. Berdasarkan analisis regresi kepuasan pengunjung; aspek atmosfer berkegiatan, aspek aktivitas rekreasi, aspek kenyamanan berpengaruh secara signifikan, sedangkan aspek kontak sosial dan faktor keamanan dan keselamatan tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kepuasan pengunjung. Kata kunci: kepuasan pengunjung, psikologi, sosial, taman kota, taman kota hutan kota (THK)

“…On the other hand, despite the positive role on the protection of forest landscape resources and forest ecosystem NFP played, new problem had emerged. Phenomena such as soil erosion, air pollution, water pollution, landscape pollution, ecological degradation, vegetation trampling, and wildlife disturbance in the developing area are becoming major concerns in China [12,25,27,[38][39][40][41][42]. To attract and serve tourists, more recreational and commercial facilities have been built.…”

“…Waste such as containers, tissues and plastic bags are thrown all around the park affecting wildlife and leaving 12% of water bodies contaminated. Service facilities like food services and vehicle traffic can aggravate air pollution and reduce green space areas [39]. Additionally, due to the simplification of the initial investment source, the majority of the NFPs' initial investments have been insufficient [46].…”

The concept of National Forest Park (NFP) is mainly used in mainland China. Originating in 1982, NFP embodies a “top-down” concept and associated program launched by the Chinese government. It is aimed at promoting forest-based tourism and economic development under the premise of protecting forest resources. After 30 years of development, NFPs have made great achievements in protecting specific forest resources, promoting forest-based tourists, promoting regional economic development, and they have gained popularity worldwide. However, due to the fast pace of NFP expansion, lack of predictable planning and innovative thinking, and ineffective governance, some problems like overexploitation, scenic pollution, monotonous development patterns, and ecological degradation associated with NFP constrain its sustainable development. In order to solve these problems effectively, a holistic review of the status of NFPs in China is needed. To help meet this need, the origin, evolution, and current status of NFPs in China were analyzed. The presented research also included retrospective analyses of challenges and opportunities for NFPs sustainable development in China. Results show that from 1982 to 2015, the number of NFPs grew dramatically, and this development occurred in four phases. In addition, NFP development has been unbalanced in regional distribution. When analyzing the evolution of NFPs, the main issues to date have included failure to implement Master Plans in practice, unclear supervisory responsibilities, ambiguous classification, unbalanced distribution, destruction of natural resource and ecosystems, insufficient cultural protection, weak awareness of nature education, lack of resource statistics, monotonous planning, and weak marketing. Study findings can contribute to promoting the sustainable future development of NFPs and support the forest-based tourism industry.
