“…Therefore, estimating the carrying capacity can be used to manage plans and develop sustainable ecotourism in these areas [13]. Accordingly, the ecotourism carrying capacity (ETCC) in these areas has been considered by managers, decision-makers, and stakeholders [1,19,20].…”

“…ETCC is an essential tool in ecotourism planning, which provides sustainable ecotourism standards and the protection of cultural heritage [21]. Hence, applying and estimating ETCC is a broad process of sustainable ecotourism planning that can help local communities, planners, and decision-makers provide an overall framework [19,20]. In addition, ETCC is associated with various components, including environmental-physical, social-demographic, and political-economic.…”

Estimating the ecotourism carrying capacity (ETCC) in protected areas (PAs) is essential for minimizing the negative impacts of ecotourism and sustainable environmental management. PAs are one of the prominent ecotourism locations and many of these areas have been created to protect biodiversity and improve human wellbeing. This study has identified and prioritized negative impacts of ecotourism in Lar national park, the Jajrud protected area with the sustainable use of natural resources, and Tangeh Vashi national natural monument. For this purpose, physical carrying capacity (PCC), real carrying capacity (RCC), and effective carrying capacity (ECC) were estimated using the ETCC model. The results indicated that due to these areas’ ecological sensitivity, the most negative impacts of ecotourism are related to the environmental-physical dimensions. In contrast, the lowest impacts have been observed in the economic-institutional dimensions. Moreover, the results revealed that the highest PCC is related to Lar national park, and the lowest PCC is associated with Tangeh Vashi natural monument. There are more tourists in the Jajrud protected area with the sustainable use of natural resources than other areas in RCC and ECC due to low levels of restrictions and legal instructions. In contrast, in Lar national park and Tangeh Vashi natural monument, due to the short duration of ecotourism in these areas (from June to October), high level of restrictions, and ecological sensitivity, the number of tourists is less than the RCC and ECC. As these areas have a limited ability to attract visitors and ecotourism, the protection of these areas requires the implementation of sustainable management to control the negative impacts of ecotourism and estimate the number of visitors.

“…Mangrove forest Blanakan has great potential to be developed as tourist attraction. Blanakan mangrove forest have tourists attractions such as flora and fauna diversity associated with mangrove ecosystems, the existence of mangrove zoning, there are locations of estuarine crocodile breeding, Nadran (sea party) and Sisingaan ceremonies [16]. The great potential tourist attraction in mangrove forest Blanakan can be increase the interest of tourist visits.…”

Blanakan mangrove forest is a form of biodiversity wealth owned by Indonesia. This forest has several tourism objects both in terms of nature and culture. Natural attraction such as mangrove diversity, crocodile breeding sites, and mangrove zonation. Cultural attraction such as Nadran ceremonies (sea party) and Sisingaan. Based on tourist visit data, the number of tourists has increase from year to year. However, it is feared to cause environmental damage and inconvenience for visitors. Therefore, the physical carrying capacity as the maximum number of tourists in tourist area needs to be taken into account. This research aims to analyze the physical carrying capacity of Blanakan mangrove ecotourism. The method of the research is quantitative method. This research analyzed by physical carrying capacity method. The result is the physical carrying capacity is 77.000 visitors/day. Relative carrying capacity is 2.750 visitors/day and effective carrying capacity is 825 visitors/day. While, the average tourist visit rate per day is 57 people. This research that the carrying capacity of the Blanakan mangrove ecotourism has not been exceeded.

“…As confirmed by Chen and Bian [46], the irrational use of resources and increased land demand for recreational facilities and hotels has led to deterioration of the surrounding environment, such as increased accumulation of solid waste and levels of air and water pollution. Armono et al [47] also proved that an increase in the number of tourists leads to the degradation of coastal resources and the reduction of ecosystem services in a case study of the ecotourism capacity of Barulan National Park, Indonesia. Therefore, tourist cities in the province should pay attention to protecting the original wetlands and lakes and try to avoid large-scale introduction of commercial, road, and accommodation construction land to reduce the pressure on the environment of the scenic spot.…”

The unreasonable land use in rapid urbanization areas induced by large-scale urban construction activities have caused massive ecological issues. In this study, landscape vulnerability index (LVI) and landscape human interference index (LHAI) were originally addressed and calculated using multi-temporal land-use data from 2000 to 2015. Then, the spatial-temporal relationship assessment model of landscape fragility caused by human activities were constructed for each county of Jiangsu Province, China, so as to analyze the spatial distribution of landscape vulnerability and determine the impacts of artificial disturbance on landscape vulnerability. The results showed: (1) The number of counties with middle and high landscape vulnerability increased from 20 in 2000 to 27 in 2015 with a peak value (33) in 2010. (2) Counties with high-intensity human activities showed an upward trend. (3) Land use generally has a significant and diverse impact on landscape vulnerability. At the county level, the LVI was positively correlated with the LHAI before 2010 and was followed by a negative correlation of them. As concluded from this study, a total of four sub-regions (continuous benefit zones, variable benefit zones, continuous harmful zones, and variable harmful zones) have been identified for sustainable landscape management in the future. (4) The LVI suggests that the landscape vulnerability in Jiangsu did not continue to deteriorate in the study period. Further, accelerated land exploitation has produced a positive impact on regional economic development and ecological protection. This study provided an effective method set for analyzing the environmental impacts caused by human activities and promoting future ecosystem management in coastal areas.
