The publication is a summarising outcome of a part of a project financed by EEA fund “Increasing of awareness and propagation of significance of functions of forests in landscape and nature-close water course basins in urban areas as a part of ecosystem services of drainage areas” (EHP-CZ02-OV-1-032-2015). The project was solved during January 2015 till September 2016. The project shows a multidisciplinary approach, professionals from various fields – environmentalism, water management, geography, sociology, statistics, and economy – cooperated in order to solve the project. The interconnection of river area into a functional and spatial urban structure is a research subject from the point of view of town planning and urbanism. A historical development of cities depended on mutual influence with a river and its closer and broader surrounding. It is the development of functional organisation of river area that determines its recreation character and potential. The main part of the book therefore deals with possibilities of its evaluation and results of research in the selected cities of the Czech Republic. Perception of recreation potential of rivers by general public, mainly city inhabitants, demonstrated
