This study was carried out to evaluate the suitable area for recreational region in urban forests at Pocheon City in Gyeonggi Province using GIS technique. The eight factor made a selection of evaluating the suitable area for recreational region in urban forests, that is, age c1ass, forest cover type, crown density, water, slope, altitude and the accessibility from road. And the final suitable region was analyzed to give a score by the factor and the weight. The results showed that it was suitable technique for GIS that evaluate the recreational function by regarding for biological, geomorphological and accessibility factor. But, it was required that previously investigate the social and economic factors that related with the characteristics of urban area.
