Six planning zones were identified, and Outdoor Recreation Resources Inventory was carried out for each planning zone. The Outdoor Recreation Resources Inventory consists of five elements, namely the topography and physical characteristic, flora and vegetation, fauna and the local climate condition of the area. The Outdoor Recreation Resources Inventory data was summarized and presented into maps to highlight the potential recreation resources in Hutan Simpan Rotan Tunggal. Four recreation activities were proposed, according to the resources identified namely camping, nature walk, education on forest ecology and bird watching.
