“…Observational studies examining the effect of crowding directly in the field are required to provide more detailed insight for the development of effective management approaches. However, the dispersed character of backcountry recreation might make it difficult to collect data from a sufficiently large sample over a range of conditions (Schamel and Job 2017). Furthermore, most of our sample was taken from the German-speaking part of Switzerland, and it might not be possible to extrapolate our results outside of this area.…”

“…is less than zero, it means that the site i will not be able to meet the user's bicycle rental demand at the time ∆ t in the future, and it is necessary to dispatch the bicycle through dispatch [17]. If is greater than the number of ∆ parking spots at the leased site, it means that the site i at the time t in the future cannot satisfy the user's demand for returning the car.…”

Unreasonable public bicycle dispatching area division seriously affects the operational efficiency of the public bicycle system. To solve this problem, this paper innovatively proposes an improved community discovery algorithm based on multi-objective optimization (CDoMO). The data set is preprocessed into a lease/return relationship, thereby it calculated a similarity matrix, and the community discovery algorithm Fast Unfolding is executed on the matrix to obtain a scheduling scheme. For the results obtained by the algorithm, the workload indicators (scheduled distance, number of sites, and number of scheduling bicycles) should be adjusted to maximize the overall benefits, and the entire process is continuously optimized by a multi-objective optimization algorithm NSGA2. The experimental results show that compared with the clustering algorithm and the community discovery algorithm, the method can shorten the estimated scheduling distance by 20%-50%, and can effectively balance the scheduling workload of each area. The method can provide theoretical support for the public bicycle dispatching department, and improve the efficiency of public bicycle dispatching system.

“…Recently, there has been an intensive increase in the number of visitors to European national parks. Above-average fauna, flora, and natural resources were found in small areas attract tourists (Schwartz et al 2012 ; Millhäusler et al 2016 ; Schamel and Job 2017 ). In addition, tourists are driven by the desire to commune with nature and the pursuit of environmental experiences, but also the need to relax and exercise outdoors(Rogowski 2020 ; Esfandiar et al 2021 ).…”

In Poland, mountain national parks are visited by about 8 million tourists annually. As a result, national parks must have a properly developed infrastructure to accommodate such a large number of people. Tourism development in mountain national parks satisfies the needs of tourist participants and should increase the attractiveness of the area, fit into the cultural concepts of a given region, and promote its development. The research aims to determine the consequences of making mountain national parks available in Poland and determine the factors determining the attractiveness of the protected area and the related tourist burden. Nine mountain national parks located in Poland were selected for the research. An interview was conducted with employees of mountain national parks concerning (a) the tourist burden on the national park, (b) the tourist management of the national park and its surroundings, and (c) the impact of tourist traffic on the natural environment. Parameters characterizing the intensity and spatial character of tourist traffic, tourist management, and the influence of tourist traffic on the natural environment of mountain national parks are discussed. The study presents the parameters determining: tourist traffic density, tourist route density, and tourist traffic intensity. A map of the development of the surroundings of national parks was presented, and its influence on tourist traffic was determined. The obtained results were discussed in the context of the consequences of tourist traffic in mountain national parks. The result of the work was the development of a map of the tourist load of mountain national parks in Poland. Tourism is of crucial importance for the proper functioning of national parks. However, if not properly cultivated, it threatens the fauna and flora of such areas. Rational use of natural resources by tourists visiting mountain national parks is crucial to maintain the balance between man and nature. Proper supervision and management in the national park, as well as the collective responsibility of tourists visiting national parks and the community living in their vicinity, is of fundamental importance for the proper functioning of the system in national parks and nearby tourist destinations.
