Abstract
Leah Stevenson studied the ways to improve the planning and management of outdoor recreation settings. An Integrated Framework for the Planning and Management of Outdoor Recreation Settings was developed. Leah found that outdoor recreation areas near townships are popular among residents and contribute to the residents achieving their social well-being and physical activity requirements for good health. Visitors were mostly mountain bikers who possessed high recreation specialisation characteristics as they are more likely to volunteer for their activity, obtain club membership, travel for their activity, and also report high environmental conservation values compared to walkers.
