Abstract:

Self-guided recreational visits to protected areas can involve exposure to a variety of environmental hazards and the risk of injury or death. Accidents and incidents occurring in these areas may be followed by litigation actions against managing authorities. If visits to national parks are framed as managed tourism and recreation products, do visitors expect that natural park experiences are safe? The thesis is a ‘PhD by publication’ comprising five original journal articles. The first paper explores responsibility for safety from the perspective of protected area management agencies in A

Abstract:

As an applied approach to recreation management, adaptive management allows researchers and protected area managers to cooperatively improve management policies, and achieve the dual mandate to protect natural resources and provide high-quality recreational experiences. Through an evaluation of the efficacy of campsite and campfire management policies, this research provides land managers with an empirical assessment to aid in the adaptation and improvement of their visitor management strategies. Results from the Shenandoah National Park camping management study suggest that an established cam

Abstract:

Ecotourism and protected area visitation have been steadily increasing in recent years in Central and South America, inevitably resulting in natural resource impacts. The consequences of such impacts may include natural resource degradation, diminished aesthetic qualities, or decreased functionality of certain facilities like recreation sites and trails. Recreation ecology and visitor impact management expertise and tools are available to help balance the potentially conflicting management goals of protecting natural resources and permitting visitation but such knowledge has not been widely us

Abstract:

This thesis explores the relationship between place attachment and pro-environmental behaviour expressed by visitors to Point Pelee National Park. Place attachment, the functional, cognitive and emotional bond with a place, may play a role in promoting environmentally responsible behaviours. This may be especially true of place-specific pro-environmental behaviours; however place attachment may also have a "carry-over" effect in that its impact on individuals' self identity may also foster pro-environmental behaviour in individuals' every day lives. <br /><br /> An exploration of the

Abstract:

Resource and visitor experience degradation in Haleakalā National Park resulting from recreational use of the Pools of 'Ohe'o has led park officials to discourage visitor use of the pools. This study uses the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine relationships among visitors' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control with regard to exploring the pools, their intentions to explore, and their actual behaviors while visiting the pools. Further, this study examines the influence of persuasive messages on visitors' behavior at the pools. Persuasive message treatments

Abstract:

Protected areas in Viet Nam and other developing Asian countries are being subjected to growing ecological stress due to increases in the number of domestic and international visitors associated with the country’s rapid development and integration into the global economy. International tourists largely adhere to a widely recognised biocentric Western construct of the ‘ecotourist’, leading to more predictable implications for management and product development. In contrast, little is known about the characteristics of domestic visitors to Viet Nam’s protected areas and in particular the

Abstract:

Visitors to parks and protected areas within the United States and worldwide often visit these areas with a particular destination in mind, such as seeing Old Faithful erupt in Yellowstone National Park or standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon in Grand Canyon National Park. These visitor use destinations, and the pathways leading to them, such as trails and roadways, see high levels of use, and as a result, impacts to soil, vegetation, air, water, soundscapes, and night skies that result from this use. The field of recreation ecology studies these impacts to park and protected area resources

Abstract:

Visitors to parks and protected areas (PPAs) engage in a variety of activities and choose different modes of travel, especially when the location itself has few limitations, such as open-water settings with relatively few backcountry visitors. Managers must understand why visitors are recreating in a particular place and the quality of their experiences in order to offer appropriate and meaningful opportunities. This study seeks to better understand visitor motivations (the “why”), to develop and measure effective indicators for evaluating the quality of visitor experiences, and to contextuali

Pressured to deliver quality visitor experiences and generate revenues to fund conservation, they simultaneously face the charge of minimising negative economic, environmental and social impacts from tourism.

The management of fisheries has progressed over the past century in an attempt to solve the problem of open access. A range of controls, both economic and non-economic in nature, have been used to ration the use of marine resources. Unfortunately, many controls have failed to correct open access problems. Whilst a recent development in fishery control, protected areas defined as an area with a fishery free of extractive pressure, have been put forward as an arrangement which may, in conjunction with other controls, be used to overcome the over-exploitation of marine resources.

Virtually all marine conservation planning and management models in place or proposed have in common the need for improved scientific rigour in identifying and characterising the marine habitats encompassed. An emerging central theme in the last few years has been the concept of representativeness, or representative systems of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The habitat classification and mapping needed to incorporate considerations of representativeness into MPA planning must logically be carried out at the same scale at which management occurs.

Abstract:

This thesis examines spatial patterns of effort by fishers in waters adjoining a marine protected area, and their impacts on the reserve’s ability to reduce the impacts of overfishing. The artisanal fisheries operating near Blue Bay Marine Park, Mauritius, provided case-study data for analysis. Two forms of spatial connectivity were evaluated. The first focused on spillovers of adult and juvenile fish from the MPA. Data on catch and geographical fishing location were collected from a sample of fishers over 12 months. Assessment of spillover gradients using Generalised Linear Models and economi

Abstract:

Les aires protégées sont des éléments clés de la stratégie mondiale de conservation de la biodiversité, en visant à préserver les espèces, les habitats et les écosystèmes. La mondialisation a entraîné une augmentation des introductions d'espèces en dehors de leur aire de répartition naturelle. Dans leur nouvel environnement, certaines de ces espèces non indigènes ont le potentiel d’affecter les écosystèmes, de concurrencer ou de menacer les espèces locales. L'environnement à proximité des aires protégées est susceptible de servir de tremplin à ces espèces introduites avant qu’elles ne pénètren

Abstract:

Virtually all marine conservation planning and management models in place or proposed have in common the need for improved scientific rigour in identifying and characterising the marine habitats encompassed. An emerging central theme in the last few years has been the concept of representativeness, or representative systems of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The habitat classification and mapping needed to incorporate considerations of representativeness into MPA planning must logically be carried out at the same scale at which management occurs. Management of highly protected areas occurs almo

Abstract:

Protected areas are a landuse and sea use of immense importance to the conservation and survival of many species on Earth and the well-being of humans. In 2005, there were more than 113,000 protected areas worldwide and all needed active and effective management if they were to achieve the purposes for which they were reserved. Evaluation is a critical part of determining the effectiveness of management and consequently protected area practitioners need the best systems available to assess the effectiveness of their conservation management. Protected area practitioners, however, have been fr
