Abstract: National Trail is an integral component of the system of natural reserves. China’s study on the creation of National Trail is scattered and lacks theory and policy at present. Here, the theoretical framework, technical procedure, and construction management of National Trail are examined based on the national conditions of China and the building experience of foreign National Trail. A research framework for National Trail is then established. The research framework encompasses a theoretical framework of policy and related theories, a technical process of analyzing National Trail resource management and public recreation, and construction management, which includes planning and management as well as laws and regulations. This research framework provides a theoretical foundation and policy basis for the future establishment of National Trail as well as general guidance for the planning and design of trails and facilitates the integration of diverse natural space resources.
