The Forest Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is dedicated to the principle of multiple use management of the Nation's forest resources for sustained yields of wood, water, forage, wildlife, and recreation. Through forestry research, cooperation with the States and private forest owners, and management of the national forests and national grasslands, it strives-as directed by Congress-to provide increasingly greater service to a growing Nation.The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal, or because all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program. The national forests of California are experiencing an increase in new visitors yet, in some areas, a continued lack of ethnic diversity persists. In addition, changing demographics has led to a need for keeping up with trends while also being aware of constraints to visitor use. Knowing how to serve culturally diverse visitors in ways that are innovative and inclusive entails broadening the base of support. This resource guide was compiled from comprehensive research reports, statewide program and services documents, outreach and civic engagement plans, and Internet searches of other applicable resources. Numerous materials are provided, best practices are noted, and tips on practical application ("tips worth trying") are offered. Highlights of research findings are included, along with strategies and possible management options relating to communication, services and facilities, developing partnerships, and ideas for community engagement and outreach.

“…Migrants bring with them into the park many of the perceptual habits, cultural 'ways', and expectations about nature that were formed in their homelands (Byrne and Goodall, 2013). African -Americans preferred shaped and organized built environment with open spaces such as ball fields and paved trails, than wilderness setting and were less likely to recreate compared to the Whites and the Dutch (Johnson et al, 1997). In fact, a study in Chicago's Lincoln Park revealed that the African -Americans care more about the service and maintenance quality compared to Asians who prefer trees and vegetation (Gobster, 2002).…”

Today, cities have developed strategies to ensure social interaction in urban spaces along with extensive research on general requirements of the same. However, a research gap exists in the needs, wants and expectations of multiple users within a society. Also, urban planners often seem to overlook the influence of spatial layout on socio-cultural perspectives of people in multicultural countries like the United Arab Emirates. The research thus focuses on the concept of culturally diverse social inclusion, and the influence of spatial layouts within urban open spaces. With inferences from the literature review and case studies, parameters found were used to analyse two selected urban parks in Abu Dhabi: Reem Central Park (neighbourhood park) and Khalidiya Park (city park). Methods like photography were used in understanding spatial activities from different focal lengths, along with map layering, drawing and sketching to understand spatial layout in relation with social inclusion. To ensure a socio-cultural future in multi-cultural cities like Abu Dhabi, certain policies and guidelines are formulated through this research. The research also shows the use of hypothetical maps of people's aspirations, based on the understanding of people's cultural backgrounds and park practices, to understand how people would ideally use these spaces, and concludes by recommending an extensive spatial approach in building spaces which will contribute to better living conditions for the migrants in the city.
