This study applied Geographical Information system (GIS) as a tool for Recreation Opportunity Spectrum (ROS) zoning. Three physical factors were employed: remoteness, naturalness, and size of intact natural land. The results showed 5 recreation opportunities classes and percentages as follows: 13.19 percent of Primitive area (P), 9.91 percent of Semi-primitive, non-motorized area (SPNM), 39.47 percent of Semi-primitive, motorized area (SPM), 34.93 percent of Semi-developed area (SD), and 2.50 percent of Developed area (D). Thus, Chiang Mai Province offered abundant recreation opportunity for those preferred and enjoyed nature experiences and nature related recreation activities as 62.57 percent are found in Primitive and Semi- primitive areas. The usefulness of the ROS classification by GIS is to gain broad guidelines and framework for recreation planning and management at large scale.
