SUSTAINABLE VISITOR MANAGEMENT IN PROTECTED AREAS: STRATEGIES AND TOOLS

Abstract

National parks and other protected areas which are rich in natural and cultural resources values and offering economic recreational opportunities, more demanding with each passing day. More recreational uses negatively affect the resource values and visitor satisfaction. For the last 30 years in developed countries, visitor management has been discussed within the framework of sustainability. Visitor management frameworks based on recreational carrying capacity analyses have been developed and visitor management plans have been established. Visitor management strategies defined in these plans and have been developed the appropriate management tools in accordance with this strategies. In this study; visitor management strategies and management tools were examined and a unique classification system was developed. And also the issues were discussed on a national scale and presented proposals

KORUNAN ALANLARDA SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR ZİYARETÇİ YÖNETİMİ: STRATEJİLER VE ARAÇLARIN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Doğal ve kültürel kaynak değerleri bakımından zengin olan ve halka ekonomik rekreasyonel fırsatlar sunan milli parklar ve diğer korunan alanlar her geçen gün daha fazla talep edilmektedir. Yoğun rekreasyonel faaliyetler ise kaynak değerlerini ve ziyaretçi memnuniyetini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Son 30 yıldır, gelişmiş ülkelerde ziyaretçi yönetimi sürdürülebilirlik çerçevesinde ele alınmış, rekreasyonel taşıma kapasitesi tabanlı ziyaretçi yönetim modelleri geliştirilerek pek çok milli parkın ziyaretçi yönetim planları oluşturulmuştur. Hazırlanan bu planlarda ziyaretçi yönetim stratejileri tanımlanmış ve bu stratejiler doğrultusunda uygun yönetim araçları geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada; ziyaretçi yönetim stratejileri ile yönetim araçları incelenerek özgün bir sınıflandırma sistemi geliştirilmiştir. Ayrıca konu ulusal boyutta tartışılarak öneriler sunulmuştur.
