8.2

RECREATION

8.2.1

Criteria for Recreational Value

The following criteria (originally proposed in TR1 and revised in Progress Paper No 7), have been used for determining whether an area has recreational value (16):

Presence of sign-posted, maintained trails for hiking, cycling or nature appreciation; or
Presence of designated barbecue pits; or
Presence of gazetted beaches; or
Presence of designated outdoor recreation (eg pavilion) or nature education (eg exhibit) facilities; or
use of the area for an organized and authorized sporting event (eg footrace, orienteering, golf, boating (in watercourses)).

(16) As indicated in Progress Paper No 8 (submitted on 14 January 2000), ERM received no adverse comments from the ESMG with regard to the revised criteria for assessing recreational value provided in Progress Paper No 7 (submitted on 22 November 1999), the Study Team will employ (now has employed) the criteria (which are considered final since then) for assessing whether an area possesses recreational value.

8.2.2

Information Sources of Valued Recreational Features

Recreational features recorded during ecological field surveys were assessed against the above criteria and located on the habitat map where recreational value has been identified for a surveyed area. In addition to the information collected during field surveys, locations of areas which possess recreational value have also been identified from the existing map data of the Lands Department and Government home page listed in Table 8.2a.

Table 8.2a Primary Information Sources for Identification of Valued Recreational Areas
Recreational Feature	Primary Information Source
Hiking and cycling trails	Lands Dept 1:10 000 digital map datag on " Trail" Lands Dept 1:20 000 digital map data on "Footpath" AFCD home page
Designated barbecue pits	Lands Dept 1:20 000 HKSAR Countryside Maps
Gazetted beaches	Lands Dept 1:10 000 digital map datag on "Bathing Beach"EPD (1998) Beach Water Quality in Hong Kong
Designated outdoor recreational facilities	Lands Dept 1:5 000 digital map data on "Pavilion"Lands Dept 1:10 000 digital map data on "Park/Playground"
Designated nature education facilities	Lands Dept 1:10 000 digital map data^g on "Zoo/Botanical Garden"
Area for an organized and authorized sporting event	Lands Dept 1:10 000 digital map data^g on "Boating and Yachting" Lands Dept 1:20 000 digital map data on "Golf Course"

g: As the listed data will not be available until July 2000, they have not been used for identifying valued recreational areas.

Additional information on areas or sites possessing the above characteristics have been compiled through liaison with the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (for Country Park areas), the Provisional Urban Council/Urban Services Department (now the Leisure and Cultural Services Department) (for urban parks in Kowloon and on Hong Kong Island) and the Provisional Regional Council/Regional Services Department (now the Leisure and Cultural Services Department) (for urban parks in the New Territories). All areas of recreational value regardless of access status (ie public or private) have been included for assessment.
