“…Norway's approach to implementing the "new conservation paradigm" (IUCN 2003, Bushell andEagles 2007) aims to increase local participation in conservation processes (Castro et al 2006, Bay-Larsen 2010 and stimulate the sustainable use of protected areas. This involves both pasturing and the promotion of increased nature-based tourism in protected areas (St.prp.…”

ABSTRACT. Norwegian protected areas have historically been managed by central, expertise bureaucracy; however, a governance change in 2010 decentralized and delegated the right to manage protected areas to locally elected politicians and elected Sámi representatives in newly established National Park Boards. We explore how this new governance change affects adaptive capacity within the reindeer industry, as the reindeer herders are now participating with other users in decision-making processes related to large tracts of protected areas in which they have pasture access. Aspects within adaptive capacity and resilience thinking are useful as complementary dimensions to a social-ecological system framework (Ostrom 2007) in exploring the dynamics of complex adaptive social-ecological systems. The National Park Board provides a novel example of adaptive governance that can foster resilient livelihoods for various groups of actors that depend on protected areas. Data for this paper were gathered primarily through observation in National Park Board meetings, focus groups, and qualitative interviews with reindeer herders and other key stakeholders. We have identified certain aspects of the national park governance that may serve as sources of resilience and adaptive capacity for the natural system and pastoral people that rely on using these areas. The regional National Park Board is as such a critical mechanism that provides an action arena for participation and conflict resolution. However, desired outcomes such as coproduction of knowledge, social learning, and increased adaptive capacity within reindeer husbandry have not been actualized at this time.

“…Then, natural areas managers have the challenge to ensure the visitors' safety, take care of the administration and handling of the activities seeking out the destination promotion, as well as to adopt safeguard measures to keep the nature protected (Bushell and Eagles, 2007). In this circumstance, the adoption of technologies can collaborate to soften this workload and help in the propagation of values associated with the concept of sustainable development among tourists, offering meaning to their experience (Prahalad and Ramaswamy, 2004;Ali and Frew, 2014).…”

“…Public-use trails can be treated as tourist attractions, which are part of the geographical territory of natural areas. Thus, pondered tourism and leisure as facilitators in the parks (Marion and Leung, 2001), these activities end up bringing economic and social benefits to protected areas and the surrounding community, contributing to the safeguarding of natural and cultural heritage (Bushell and Eagles, 2007).…”

Information and communication technologies (ICT) and geospatial technologies (GT) give support to manage protected areas, like national parks, while enhancing the visitors' experience. This study identifies some crucial tools employed to promote a sustainable development of tourism activities in pioneers' national parks.A literature review and a website analysis of five parks (Yellowstone National Park, Royal National Park, Banff National Park, Tongariro National Park, and Kruger National Park)

“…However, visitor frequency is high in upland plains and pond areas (and less so for other types). Thus highly vulnerable areas are most important, where potentially increasing visitor numbers could impact other aspects of these areas (Pickering 2010), especially nature and landscape conservation (Bushell et al 2007). Thus, using these areas for tourism activities is very problematic and undesirable because of continued degradation of the natural environment (Boucníková and Ku~era 2005;Guth and Ku~era 2005).…”

“…The ongoing degradation of the environment and its urbanization are further increasing the value of the pleasure periphery in tourism (Bushell et al 2007). These kinds of environments are then increasingly exposed to pressures resulting from conflicts among different types of use of such areas (Jamal etal.…”

The significance of the vulnerability of nature-rich areas with high development potential for tourism was studied using three types of data: 1) spatial distribution of tourist attractions, 2) the appeal level of these attractions, and 3) the number of visitors. The Bohemian Forest and South Bohemia were chosen as study areas. Nine types of landscape spatial appeal were identified in the study area. Two most important types were defined based on their appeal where there are rare relic features in the natural environment dominated by the presence of peat bogs and natural habitats with scrub undergrowth or virgin forests. These types were also found in the areas with the greatest potential for tourism development. However, these areas are also the most important from the point of view of nature conservation and landscape protection in Central Europe.
