Hutan Kota Dan Urban Tourism

Abstract

Cities are centers of settlements and various economic activities characterized by non-agricultural main activities. Urban communities have dense activities that can cause boredom and stress so they need recreation. One of the activities that can be done is recreation in the urban forest. The development of urban forests as urban tourism destinations has several implications, namely the need to organize urban forest areas in order to increase visitor attraction, provide various types of recreational activities, add various recreational facilities, and the potential for traffic jams. Utilization of urban forests for recreation in order to remain sustainable, the addition of recreational facilities and the number of visitors must consider its ecological carrying capacity. Visitors must get a guarantee of satisfaction, security, and safety. An attractive distribution of urban forests in all areas of the city needs to be done so that there is no concentration of visitors in only a few urban forests.
