Abstract

The aim of this paper is the properly use of stone constructions into forest recreation areas near urban centers. Stone is a material that is born and evolves in nature as it is detached over time with stable, simple and almost primitive methods. Therefore, together with wood, it is undoubtedly the most suitable material for the formation of forest recreation areas, which are the most widespread means of human contact with nature and its beauties. The use of stone constructions in forest recreation is perfectly in harmony with the natural environment. Thus, people have the possibility to escape from the hectic rhythms of everyday life in forest recreation areas, relax and enjoy the forest through the conveniences offered by the stone constructions. To preserve and upgrade human psychology, certain principles (rules) related to its formation must be followed when constructing a recreation area. These principles are defined by the science of landscape architecture. After extensive research and with the help of modern technological programs and devices such as AutoCAD, GIS, GPS which are necessary for the production of maps, the existing situation of the recreation area in Nymphaea Komotini, Greece was assessed, important conclusions were drawn and of course a number of forest constructions were proposed, which if implemented, the favorite escape of the local residents will be accompanied by a beautiful landscape that will drastically contribute to their mental upliftment.
