Recreation & Tourism]]>
Primarily, the case of the JCL trail shows that the presence of a strong and committed community based organization is vital to the successful creation of recreational trails. Without the support of local organizations, the construction, maintenance and upgrading of recreational trails is both economically and logistically impossible. Secondly, we found that a Town Council who recognizes and values the importance of trail development will be competent and capable to develop successful partnerships with community-based organizations. Town Councils must play the role of mediator between the volunteer base and the public in order to facilitate this cooperation. Thirdly, a community who recognizes the socio-economic benefits of developing recreational trails, especially those in areas that depend upon tourism and seasonally oriented activities, are more likely to house volunteers who are willing to donate their time and resources to community oriented activities, such as trail development and maintenance. Fourthly, landowners whose property is adjacent to public trails need to begin developing more flexible and cooperative attitudes with their local Town Councils. Private property owners have to start granting access to parts of their property to local Town Councils in order to foster the development of recreational trails for the community’s benefit. If not, communities will continue to experience the enclosure of common spaces that has become increasingly common. ]]> Host contact: Brogden, Peter]]> Department: International Development Studies]]>
