Abstract

A survey was applied to 469 visitors of 14 natural parks of the State of México. The most important variable groups for forest recreation were defined, using the Principal Components technique. This information plus the natural and artificial characteristics of the State of México forest lands, were used to define 27 forest areas with potential for recreative use in the State. In addition, management strategies for their conservation are suggested.
