Full textAbstract:
Purpose – After identifying those underlying consumer value dimensions associated with the private game reserve experience, and their contribution to visitors’ behavioral intentions, the purpose of this paper is to compare managers’ and visitors’ perceptions of value experienced and value delivered. Design/methodology/approach – Two similar questionnaires with five-point Likert scales gathered the perceptions of 30 managers and 162 visitors. Data analysis included factor analysis, multiple regression analysis and an independent-samples t-test. Findings – Consumer value comprises seven dimensions. Managers’ perceptions of value delivered exceeded visitors’ perceptions of value experienced on all seven dimensions. Statistically significant differences existed for emotional value, monetary price, behavioral price, novelty and social value, but not for reputation and quality. Research limitations/implications – Results cannot be generalized and must be interpreted with caution due to the small samples and the South African wildlife focus. The resulting measuring scale can be further refined and applied to a larger sample of reserves and visitors in an international environment, particularly in African countries known for wildlife tourism. Practical implications – The results suggest a need to align managers’ and customers’ perspectives to optimize consumer value. Identifying perception gaps will prevent resources being spent on elements not valued by customers, and closing gaps will help improve visitor satisfaction and retention. Originality/value – Few studies have examined consumer value in a wildlife context, or simultaneously from a manager and customer perspective. This study identified latent value dimensions and gaps in value perceptions associated with private game reserves.

Full textAbstract:
The article reveals the content of the “Peterhof ” State Museum-Reserve’s stages of modernization in 2009–2020, analyzes the effectiveness of measures developed by the management of the museum-reserve to support new areas of development, and presents the stages of transformation of a linear management system to a multi-level museum complex. The basis for the article are reports and a number of program documents from the “Peterhof ” State Museum-Reserve, made available for scientific circulation for the first time. The key document of the analysis is the Concept of Development of the Federal State Budgetary Institution of Culture “State Museum- Reserve” Peterhof “for the period 2012–2016, which formulates the main theses of the museum’s transition to a strategic planning system. Along with the preservation of traditional museum functions, in the practical activities of the Peterhof State Museum-Reserve special attention is paid to the innovations introduced in museum practices of the 21st century: creating a museum management system and museum policy in general, a system of external museum communications, a museum positioning system and organizing sustainable interaction with visitors. Relevant components of the concept “image of a modern museum-reserve” are revealed, which correlate with the practical activities of the departments and divisions of the museum under analysis. The author proposes and substantiates an innovative system of continuous visitor support, in which it becomes possible to effectively manage the interaction of the museum and the visitor. The most important economic result of the modernization of the museum-reserve is the formation of effective mechanisms that improve the work of the museum in the conditions of market relations and allow for the establishment of a stable system of interaction with visitors. The presented experience of the Peterhof State Museum-Reserve can become a guide for Russian regional museums-reserves when choosing directions for the development of museum complexes.

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of the North Vidzeme Biosphere Reserve’s image (functional, symbolic and experiential) in building young visitors’ intentions to visit biosphere reserves. Integrated research methods were used. An online survey was conducted for data collection (n=295), and focus group discussions and observations (three groups - two from Latvia and one from Estonia) were conducted about youth traveling behavior in the North Vidzeme Biosphere Reserve. Descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling were used to analyze data. Findings showed that the North Vidzeme Biosphere Reserve has a weak image in the perception of young people. Most respondents agreed that visiting biosphere reserves relieves stress, helps them to socialize, and allows them to escape from daily routine; additionally, they noted that they would visit protected areas more often if they would see their friends visiting them. Youth 15–19 was more excited, pleasureful, and excited about visiting biosphere reserves, but youth 20–25 was more neutral about it. Both groups agreed that there was a lack of advertisements and visibility of these areas on social media platforms. Research results showed that improving functional, symbolic, and emotional images of the North Vidzeme Biosphere Reserve will have a positive effect on youth visiting and revisiting intentions.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of green areas for the well-being of city dwellers, upgrading their living conditions and health, has been discussed in a great number of publications. Relatively few studies have been devoted to urban natural protected areas. These areas are distinct due to the very often conflicting goals of their establishment and the social functions that they perform. Legal regulations concerning the establishment and management of these areas in force in Poland do not take into account the conditions mentioned above. Therefore, it seems justified to change the regulations and to establish a separate form of nature protection, particularly in the case of the nature reserves, as these most often appear in Polish cities and have the highest protection status. In order to support or refute this stipulation, the urban nature reserve (UNR) visitors were questioned (through a survey available online for six months in 2018). Eight-hundred and sixty-nine respondents took part in the survey. It revealed that most of the respondents perceived nature reserves located in cities as recreational areas; however, they were also aware of their multifunctional character. Such results support the conclusion that in order to effectively manage this type of area in cities, a concept of distinctive urban conservation areas should be developed.

Full textAbstract:
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO’s) Biosphere Reserves aim to be flagships of sustainable landscapes. Many of them are important locations for tourism and leisure activities. We explored the perceptions of short-term visitors and summer residents on ecosystem services (ESs) tied to characteristic habitats of the Archipelago Sea Biosphere Reserve in Finland. During holiday season, we conducted structured on-field interviews with 74 Biosphere Reserve visitors. From these data, we gained information on the visitors’ appreciation of different ESs and the selected habitats. We also derived habitat-specific ES profiles. Excluding the reedbeds, most habitats were both highly valued and considered as important producers of the listed ESs. The derived ES profiles were partially overlapping and inclined towards appreciation of cultural services, and the importance of scenery was highlighted. Provisioning services were not particularly appreciated. We discovered several linkages among biodiversity, ESs, and recreational land uses. Certain habitats were found to be in need of protection under high recreational land-use pressure, but also potential synergies were found. Our method introduces an important socio-cultural perspective into the region’s land management that aims to find a balance between the protection of the Biosphere Reserve’s unique biodiversity and the need to support sustainable local livelihoods and tourism.

Full textAbstract:
Based on data of visitors to national parks, nature reserves and wildlife sanctuaries in Sarawak, this study’s objective is to use the spatial and temporal analysis to describe the underlying trend and temporal pattern of local and foreign visitors and ultimately infer the temporal distribution of visitors to 18 different TPAs. The second aim of the study is to cluster the visitors according to the location of TPAs using Wards hierarchical clustering method. By comparing average monthly visitors’ count, we observed that the average number of monthly visitors significantly reflects the distribution concentration of visitors based on the spatial map. Findings indicate that the monthly distributions of local and foreign visitors differ according to different TPAs. The spatial and temporal analysis found that local visitors’ arrival is high at the end of the year while foreign visitors showed significant arrival during the months of July, August and September. The Wards minimum variance method was able to cluster TPAs local and foreign visitors into very high, high, medium and low visitor area. This study provides additional information that could contribute to identifying the periods of highest visitor pressure, design measures to manage the concentration of visitors and improve the overall visitors’ experience. The findings of the study are also important to respective local authorities in providing information for planning and monitoring tourism in TPAs. Consecutively, this will ensure sustainability of TPAs resources while protecting their biodiversity.

The purpose of the study is to explore the current state of tourism development in natural protected areas Republic of Buryatia using the case of Dzherginsky Reserve and to identify favorable and negative factors influencing the development of tourism, to determine the main directions for the development of ecological tourism on its territory. Research methods. The main research method was the comparative geographical method. This method helped reveal the features of the development of tourism in Dzherginsky Reserve in comparison with Baikalsky and Barguzinsky Reserves. The statistical method using the dynamics of visitors in the reserves the Republic of Buryatia was determined. In article shown the number of visitors in Dzherginsky reserve is less than in other reserves. The main prerequisites analyzed for the development of tourism in the reserve and factors identified hindering its development. The cartographic method applied in the analysis of the economic-geographical and transport-geographical position of the reserve. On the method of analogies based, identified and substantiated promising directions for the development of ecological tourism in Dzherginsky Reserve. Research results. In the course of the work carried out, that the main factors revealed hindering the development of tourism in Dzherginsky Reserve are the transport inaccessibility of the territory, the lack of access roads with a hard surface, and the environmental and educational nature of the activity. The analysis showed that since 2008 observed the positive dynamics of the number of reserve visitors. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there has been a decrease in the number of tourists, which is a temporary phenomenon. The reserve has developed five ecological tours designed for tourists with physical training. The reserve has an ethnotourist complex to accommodate tourists. Conclusions. The development of ecological tourism is a promising area of activity for Dzherginsky reserve, for which there are all prerequisites. However, in order for ecological tourism to be profitable, cooperation with government agencies, representatives of the tourist industry and the local population is necessary. In this regard, it is important to use the existing experience of Baikalsky reserve in training the local population and attracting tourists to serve. At the present stage, it is necessary to develop program documents in which it is necessary to provide for measures to mitigate adverse factors.

Full textAbstract:
A study of interspecific interactions of European (Meles meles) and Asian (M. leucurus) badgers with other carnivores at badger setts was carried out in Darwin Reserve (European part of Russia) and in Ussuriisk Reserve (Russian Far East) in 2006-2011. We used camera traps for the registration of visits of carnivore mammals to the badger setts. Overall, 11 species were recorded. In both reserves, badger setts attract carnivore species during the whole year. Some predators visit badger setts regularly. The visitors can be divided into two groups: species searching shelter, or searching prey. The first group includes raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides and red fox Vulpes vulpes. Raccoon dog was the most frequent visitor in both study areas (34 visits in Darwin reserve and 73 in Ussuriisk reserve). The second group includes lynx Lynx lynx and wolf Canis lupus in Darwin reserve and Asiatic black bear Ursus thibetanus, brown bear U. arctos, yellow-throated marten Martes flavigula aterrima and lynx Lynx lynx in Ussuriisk reserve. Smaller predators are also included into the second group because they can find prey at badger setts too: leopard cat Prionailurus bengalensis euptilura, sable Martes zibellina and Siberian weasel Mustela sibirica in Ussuriisk reserve and European pine marten Martes martes in Darwin reserve. No cases of aggressive interactions between the badgers and the visitors were recorded. But we noted two cases of change of sett owners and one case when raccoon dog removed dead badger cubs from the sett.

Full textAbstract:
Urban nature reserves in Poland are precious relics of ancient nature with preserved biodiversity. They consist of valuable trees several 100 years old, are biodiverse, and are valuable recreational spaces right in and around cities. It is therefore critical to manage tradeoffs between visitor safety due to, e.g., falling dead branches and the need for old-grown trees for biodiversity conservation. This study aimed to determine whether airborne laser scanning data (LiDAR) can confirm that trees exhibiting the worst crown defoliation are the first to be damaged in storms. Our results show that during Storm Eunice in 2022, the detected defoliated trees, in fact, were damaged the most. Despite such evidence available to the city, no targeted changes to the management of the reserves were taken after the storm. One of the forests was completely closed to visitors; in the other forest, areas with damaged trees were fenced off, and then, the remaining branches and fallen trees were removed to make the forest available for recreation. Using available evidence such as LiDAR data, we propose more targeted and nuanced forms of managing biodiversity conservation in conjunction with visitor safety. This includes the establishment of priority areas, visitor information, and visitor management. This way, airborne laser scanning and Geographic Information Systems can be used to balance management needs accounting for both biodiverse old-grown forest structures while at the same time providing added safety for visitors.

Full textAbstract:
By law, parks are the only preservation areas in my home country, Paraguay. Still, these parks -including the Ybycui National Park- are facing environmental degradation (Sanjurjo, 1989). Misusage and overuse of these parks, due to lack of environmental awareness, greatly contribute to this situation.This creative project consists of the design of the Visitors' Center of the Ybycui National Park of Paraguay. Environmental education is one of the main issues addressed in this project. This Visitors' Center serves as a place to welcome visitors, to promote the park and its appropriate uses for environmental preservation purposes, and to increase environmental awareness in the country.The project will address issues of land analysis, architectural elements in the landscape (signage, fencing, seating furniture, etc.) within this national park setting, and major concentration in the Visitors' Center design. The functional program of the Visitors' Center will be oriented towards recreational and educational activities in both outdoor and indoor settings at the public and private levels. The master plan of the Ybycul National Park "Plan de Manejo y Desarrollo Conceptual del Parque Nacional Ybycui" (1975), will be my guide for the future development of the park.The Visitors' Center will be an important part of the park, for it will serve as the filter through which most of the visitors will pass. This entry will greatly influence their impression of and respect for the park.<br>Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The uniqueness of the wildlife and the luxurious nature of South African private game reserves could be seen as a valuable niche in the South African tourism market and for this reason make South Africa a desired destination. Due to complex visitor needs and demands regarding price, service, social connection, authenticity, quality or image, value perceptions will differ in terms of visitors’ experiences. If managers do not understand these value requirements, differences might exist between consumers’ and service providers’ perceptions of value. To maintain visitor satisfaction, loyalty and intention for return to the reserves, managers should continue to provide valued offerings and improve their visitors’ wildlife experience. This research investigated visitors’ perceptions of the value delivered by private game reserves in South Africa and compared these with reserve managers’ perceptions of the value delivered. The results of this research study could contribute to a better understanding of perceived value, which in turn could enhance the success of the private game reserves. The literature contextualised the South African private game reserve as part of wildlife tourism, the wildlife tourism offering and the characteristics of wildlife visitors. An overview of customer value, customer value models showing their development over time, and the conceptual framework of the current study was provided. The resulting conceptual model was used to evaluate managers’ and visitors’ perceptions of Quality, Monetary price, Behavioural price, Reputation, Emotional response, Social value and Novelty value delivered by South African private game reserves. The empirical data was collected by means of a survey, using two structured self-administered electronic questionnaires administered to the managers of, and the visitors to, private game reserves. One hundred and sixty two visitors and 30 managers participated in the survey. By performing exploratory factor analysis it was found that the seven value factors were consistent with the value dimensions reported in the literature. These were labelled as Quality, Emotional response, Monetary price, Reputation, Novelty value, Social value and Behavioural price. Most of managers’ perceptions of value provided exceeded visitors’ perceptions of value received. Both managers and visitors rated value items related to Emotional response highly. Considerably more managers (17 percent) thought that the reserve experience can be associated with good service, opposed to only 4 percent of visitors who perceived the service to be good. On the other hand, a larger proportion of visitors (29%) than the managers (20 percent) perceived the reserve experience as relaxing. Managers rated eleven of the thirteen game reserve attributes more positively than what the visitors did. Of these attributes, accommodation services, protection of the natural environment, game drives and service delivery, showed significant differences. It is recommended that South African private game reserve managers: • conduct market research to get a better understanding of what delights visitors. Research should be conducted on a regular basis to ensure management stays current with visitors’ changing needs; • determine whether the prices charged reflect the quality of the physical offerings, service delivery and the time and effort visitors spent to obtain the offering; • use the adventurous activities offered at the reserves as part of their promotional campaigns to attract adventure tourists; • train service delivery staff and game drive guides to educate visitors on the history, culture and eco-friendly practices related to their reserve; • always deliver superior service to ensure memorable wildlife experiences, value for money and exceed visitors’ expectations; • continue using websites, social media and magazines to inform the target market about the reserve offerings; and • stay in regular contact with visitors through social media, newsletters, blogs, follow up emails/calls or face to face discussions at the reserve.

Full textAbstract:
The literature reviews on tourist satisfaction revealed that a satisfied tourist leads to positive word of mouth recommendation to friends and family, loyalty (return visits), competitive advantage and long-term profitability and sustainability. These favourable benefits resulting from satisfaction are necessary for any destination to survive in the competitive tourism industry. South African National Parks (SANParks) manages all 21 national parks in South Africa, with the TNP being the third in terms of visitor numbers and income generated from tourism products. Data captured from visitors to the TNP was used to achieve the goal and objective of this study. This goal was achieved by conducting a questionnaire survey at Storm’s River rest camp within the TNP from 01 May to 31 July 2015. A total of 120 questionnaires were completed and included in further analysis. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between satisfaction, service and travel motivations of the visitors to the TNP. The statistical test was used to determine whether or not visitors’ expectations were met. This was also used to determine the relationship between travel behaviour, travel motives, and service satisfaction of the visitors to the TNP. Park management can use these results as tools to ensure that the product offered guarantees visitors’ satisfaction and therefore contributes to long-term park sustainability. Therefore, park management is able to obtain the ideal tourist experience by not only focusing on the travel motives but also on the quality of service delivered at the park. The results showed that park management needs to become aware of what the visitor sees as important factors for a memorable visitor experience and they can adapt certain aspects to improve the visitor’s experience. Park management can therefore improve their services and products as well as the quality thereof by knowing what the tourists see as important when visiting a national park to obtain a memorable experience, which will lead to positive word of mouth sharing, loyalty, increased revenue and sustainability of the TNP.

Full textAbstract:
Contested land-management plans make spatial data about values that people attach to the landscape necessary for federal land management. The study area for this project is the Olympic Peninsula, Washington, an area that is divided by a complex mosaic of land jurisdictions, including public lands administered by the National Park Service, National Forest Service, and Washington State, as well as interspersed tribal and private landholdings surrounding the perimeter. During the summer of 2012, I collected map and survey data from visitors at fourteen popular destinations around the Olympic Peninsula, including visitor centers, campgrounds, trail access points, and a ferry. Three research objectives were evaluated in my thesis: 1) determine a general typology of visitors, 2) understand what values and activities visitors associate with places in the peninsula, and 3) compare visitor data with resident data from the Human Ecology Mapping Project (HEM), a collaboration between the US Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, the Institute of Culture and Ecology, and Portland State University.
Analysis using ArcGIS included density and density hot spot calculations for a composite of the data as well as subsets based on types of visitors and individual values and activities. A majority of the participants were older males with higher education. Results indicate that visitors with different levels of familiarity spend time in different parts of the Peninsula. Aesthetic, recreation, and wilderness are the values most often included in the survey; hiking, non-cardio recreation, and sociocultural are the activity groups most often included in the survey. Visitors primarily mark places in Olympic National Park. Visitors, including those who live locally, responded in strikingly different ways than residents who participated in HEM. This research produced expected results that not only substantiate knowledge about specific places in the Olympic Peninsula, but also support theories about environmental cognition.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In various parts of the world, forest reserves are areas that support forests or systems of high forest value, meeting multiple objectives concerning both the production of goods through sustainable management and conservation of the ecosystem services those areas provide. This chapter presents the case of the Production Forest Reserves (PFR) in Tierra del Fuego, which are aimed at forest harvesting as well as the restoration of environments degraded by fires and valuation of the goods and services offered by the Fuegian forest landscapes. The implementation and monitoring of silvicultural practices, restoration, and vegetation surveys carried out by the General Directorate of Forestry (GDF) in cooperation with the scientific sector generate scientific and technical information to improve the management and sustainable use of the forest landscape. The PFRs also offer ideal sites for raising environmental awareness through educational tours, recreation, and low-impact tourism for visitors as well as other activities with the local communities. The enabling of different uses within the PFRs aims to promote the continuity of productive forest landscapes and their biodiversity in space and time.

Abstract This chapter presents the findings of qualitative questionnaire research carried out in the Tremiti Islands Marine Reserve, which is part of Gargano National Park, Italy. The study have identified different segments of tourists visiting Tremiti by means of the model proposed by Arnegger et al. (2010), using the matrix suggested in the model. The model was used to understand and categorize visitor characteristics, their expectations and levels of satisfaction, and the strengths and weaknesses of local offerings. This is crucial information for the managers of the marine reserve who require thorough knowledge of the different types of visitors to adapt to the needs, expectations and preferences of the visitors in order to offer high-quality services and memorable experiences.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter employs topic modeling to reveal the public stance and perception of tourist destinations in the Srem region, providing insights into their diverse appeal and variety of tourist profiles. Social media is the touch point with visitors of tourist attractions and consumers of tourist services. The collection of online reviews of tourist attractions in the Srem region is populated and used for modeling the hidden thematic structures. The authors identified an optimal model with 14 distinct topics through extensive experimentation, centered around nature, relaxation, shrines, and museum history. The topics indicate various tourist profiles active, gastronomic, leisure-seeking, history-loving, and family-oriented tourists. Knowing about the audience is valuable for targeted marketing strategies. The authors extracted and analyzed subsets of reviews related to Monasteries, Museums, Nature, and Nature Reserves indicating specific preferences of tourists within these categories, such as historical relevance of museums, use of modern technologies in exhibitions, or children-friendly content in nature reserves, and improvement areas, such as condition of roads, control of forest cutting, or garbage disposal management. This research offers clearly defined methodological steps and valuable insights for marketing and tourism development in the Srem region.

This chapter examines the multifaceted impacts of AI adoption in natural reserves, exploring both the benefits and challenges. On the positive side, AI-powered tools can assist in real-time monitoring of wildlife populations, habitat conditions, and visitor numbers, enabling timely and data-driven decision-making for conservation. AI-based personalization of visitor experiences can also improve engagement and education. However, relying on AI algorithms raises issues related to data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the potential disruption of natural ecosystems through excessive monitoring and interventions. Through a review of academic literature, this chapter provides a balanced analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of AI integration in natural reserves. The findings aim to guide policymakers, conservation practitioners, and technology researchers in navigating the complex landscape of AI-enabled nature conservation.

Abstract What has happened is that the religious houses, even when their origins were quite modest, may then come to occupy an entire district from one end to the other, until it reaches the edge of the built-up area; and as it is difficult to find in Naples a street without a monastery in it, if nothing is done about such a grave and ruinous abuse, in this way the regulars will in the long run be able to buy up the entire city.” This is the cry of alarm of Neapolitan lawyer and reformist historian Pietro Giannone, in his Istoria Civile del Regno di Napoli of 1723, at the creep of religious houses, male and female, over the urban fabric of Naples. Although Giannone’s claims were hotly disputed at the time, the situation was striking enough to provoke comment from non-anticlericals, and from foreign visitors, too. In his 1692 guide to Naples, Celano’s remarks on the preponderance of religious houses, especially female convents, reveal his regret and disapproval. After describing the Dominican church of Gesù e Maria, he writes, “From this church, going down, the street known as the graveled street of Gesù e Maria: in this street, on both sides, there used to be beautiful and grand palaces; today they have almost all been converted into conservatories for nuns.” Significantly, Celano reserves his criticism for the less distinguished female religious institutions; when commenting on the old aristocratic convents, his tone is full of pride. Francesco Peccerillo felt so strongly about the superabundance of religious buildings that he wrote a whole book on the subject in 1719.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on Mozambique's celebrated game but pivots to reconstruct the development of the camera safari industry. It follows how colonial officials converted the expansive Gorongosa reserve in central Mozambique into a national park in 1960, rendering it a formally protected animal sanctuary that quickly drew increasing numbers of visitors from around the world. Even if the tourist infrastructure at Gorongosa was always modest, the chapter highlights that the space featured a density of wildlife that even its more famous South African neighbor, Kruger National Park, could not match. The chapter also stresses that the formal establishment of the space as a national park reflected a broader, international thrust to generate profits in the name of conservation. It then underlines those accounts of these guests' positive experiences at the park and, more broadly, in the colony, which provided significant political capital for the increasingly isolated Estado Novo. Ultimately, the chapter emphasizes that the consequent influxes of visitors that the promotional efforts—and, of course, the grandeur of the space itself—generated were ably facilitated and serviced by African laborers, the backbone of Gorongosa's workforce.

Full textAbstract:
The special nature reserve of the canyon of the "Cvrcka" river represents a significant river area on the northeastern slopes of the Čemernica mountain. It is located in the northwestern part of the Republic of Srpska, i.e., in the northern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This river system, with numerous waterfalls, cascades, and steep cliff s, was formed by the erosive action of the Vrbanja and Cvrcka rivers. The bed of the Vrbanja river and its left tributary Cvrcka constitute the primary hydrographic resource of this special nature reserve. In the Cvrcka valley, specific plant and animal species (eagles and birds) inhabit, forming a unique biodiversity in this area. The Cvrcka river valley is attractive to visitors, with picturesque natural landscapes and authentic traditional objects. The study aims to determine whether the special nature reserve of the Cvrcka canyon represents an important resource for the development of sustainable tourism in the Republic of Srpska. The research methodology is based on structured interviews designed to measure elements of tourist attractiveness and mobility concerning the Cvrcka canyon. The obtained results from the conducted questionnaire will be used for analyzing the impact of tourism development factors and their interrelationships, which align with the Tourism Development Strategy of the Republic of Srpska. The obtained research results confirm the initial hypothesis about the importance of the Cvrcka canyon for the development of ecotourism at the level of the Republic of Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper also highlights the discrepancy between the significance of this area and the current state of its valorization and promotion. Finally, measures for the protection and valorization of the landscape values of the valley and the sources of the Cvrcka river are proposed. In this regard, better cooperation with relevant institutions is recommended, which will significantly contribute to the improvement of sustainable tourism and the development of the local area.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This work addresses the initiative to use consumer-grade Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones, as potential instruments for the evaluation and monitoring of shallow coral reefs in Colombia. This initiative started with the construction of an interdisciplinary team that includes institutions from academia, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, a marine surveying private company, and a German research center. The test was conducted inside the Marine Protected Area (MPA) of Old Providence; an island that is located at the Archipelago of San Andrs, Providencia and Santa Catalina, which includes the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve (the third largest true barrier reef in the world). Field data were acquired by using two DJI RPAS: Phantom 4 Pro and Mavic Air, and geo-referenced diving. In this work, we show the potential for using such technologies with a geometrically corrected mosaic of images of Crab Cay, a small cay located inside the MPA. This project is the first of its kind within the Seaflower Reserve and may support technology-based data collection, increasing the quality of information that can be useful to make important decisions regarding ocean space utilization. Additionally, obtained images will be shared for the benefit of local communities, other stakeholders, and visitors, in a manner that opens up science to broader society, promoting outreach activities and educational tool via photos and videos.

Full textAbstract:
"Golubac fortress" is a unique and indivisible spatially functional entity, with natural and created resources and values of importance for tourism. As a cultural asset of exceptional importance, it belongs to the "Golubac fortress" Nature Reserve and the "Đerdap" National Park. In 2011 the Republic of Serbia declared "Golubac Fortress" Tourist Area, which is managed by the company with limited liability for the development of tourism "Golubac Fortress". The Tourist Area, which belongs to the territory of the Municipality of Golubac, is about 22 hectares. The main tourist attraction of the Tourist Area is an immovable cultural asset - the medieval fortress "Golubac fortress", which was restored through the project "Reconstruction of Golubac Fortress", fi nanced from IPA funds and offi cially opened for visitors in 2019. The aim of the paper is to point out the importance of managing attractions, with a special emphasis on medieval fortresses as complex products in tourism. "Golubac Fortress" is an example of good practice, how, through the application of the tourist attraction management model, it has turned from a neglected cultural-historical asset into an attractive tourist destination within the European cultural route "Fortresses on the Danube".

Introdução: O Piauí é marcado por zonas de tensão ecológica, onde diferentes domínios fitogeográficos se encontram e se manifestam, sob influência das condições bióticas e abióticas, como relevo, solo e umidade. Predominam formações de Cerrado e Caatinga, sob influência pré-Amazônica e litorânea, distribuídas em mosaico. Essa biodiversidade sofre pressão devido a destruição de habitat provocada pelo corte de árvores para obtenção de lenha, caça e avanço da fronteira agropecuária, que se expande rapidamente pelo estado e pelos remanescentes de vegetação nativa. Objetivos: Este trabalho teve por objetivo a busca, identificação e registro de avifauna nidificante em propriedade rural privada florestada em Murici dos Portelas-PI. Materiais e Métodos: Percorreu-se as trilhas e aceiros da Reserva Mamangaba, de 54 hectares, para registrar a avifauna presente e nidificante. Fez-se 4 visitas de campo, cada uma com 4 horas de duração, no período diurno, em janeiro de 2022. Utilizou-se câmera fotográfica digital com zoom óptico de 50x. As fotos das aves foram registradas entre 20 e 10 metros de distância e do ninho a 4 metros, a nível do solo (1,5 m). Resultados e Discussão: Encontrou-se duas espécies nidificando no local, sendo uma delas o Surucuá-de-barriga-vermelha (Trogon curucui). Fez-se o registro de casal dessa ave, juntos ao ninho em cupinzeiro arborícola. Essa ave é associada a formações florestais de Cerrado e Caatinga. Os resultados demonstram que a reserva preserva parte dos seus serviços ecossistêmicos e condições para a reprodução da espécie e biodiversidade associada. O local está sendo preparado para criação de uma Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural e os dados coletados oferecem suporte a essa decisão. Conclusão: Recomenda-se o prosseguimento no processo de criação de Unidade de Conservação oficial, para garantir a perpetuidade da proteção ao local e a manutenção dos serviços ecossistêmicos, além de preservar o local de reprodução do Trogon curucui. Por fim, novas visitas de campo se fazem necessárias, em diferentes horários e estações, para registrar e identificar outras espécies da flora e da fauna.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents the results of a survey conducted among the population of two protected areas (PAs) in Serbia − the Carska Bara Special Nature Reserve (SNR) and the Vlasina Outstanding Natural Landscape (ONL). The aim was to determine whether the proclamation of a protected area affects the daily life and economy of the local population and how much the local community is involved in the management process? Emphasizing tourism as the only sustainable activity suitable for protected areas, a survey was conducted. The two areas analyzed here were chosen due to the proximity of settlements, i.e. their presence in the area of protected property, the still present traditional way of using natural resources (grazing, beekeeping, collecting mushrooms, snails and fruits, exploitation of mineral raw materials, fish farming) and the use of wild flora and fauna (mowing meadows, use of reeds and rushes), and length of tenure under protection. An additional point of interest is the fact that one of them is a plain and the other is a mountainous area. The perception of the local residents about life in the protected area, their future plans and the manager, were obtained. Respondents answered questions concerning their perception of everyday life in a protected area. Do they have personal benefit or harm? Are they engaged in tourism? Can they make a decent living from tourism? Is the number of visitors is higher after obtaining the protected status? Who is the manager and is he caring more about nature or the needs of the local population? The survey included 474 residents older than 18, in five settlements of the Carska Bara Special Nature Reserve and in seven settlements of the Vlasina Outstanding Natural Landscape. 39.0% women and 61.0% males made up the sample. The respondents’ average age was 40.8 years old. The majority of those surveyed belonged to the employee category. Responses were analyzed using descriptive demographic statistics, with the help of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The obtained results are quite pessimistic, because they confirm the initial assumption that the population of protected areas in Serbia has very little or no benefit at all from living near a protected area.

Introdução: O norte do Piauí é marcado por transições de Cerrado e Caatinga, sob influência pré-Amazônica, que variam de acordo com as condições geográficas. Nesta região localiza-se Murici dos Portelas, entre Mata dos Cocais e Tabuleiros Litorâneos, o que propicia diversas paisagens com alto potencial ecoturístico, que poderia ser uma importante atividade econômica na região, atualmente com baixo índice de desenvolvimento humano. Objetivo: Avaliar o potencial econômico sustentável em propriedade rural nesse município com intuito de criar uma Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) em parte da propriedade. Material e métodos: Fez-se estudo de dados oficiais e visitas ao local. Resultados: A propriedade (3°15’46.96’’S 41°57’04.25’’O) possui 52 ha e é recoberta por vegetação nativa, com exceção de 15.600 m2 anteriormente usados como pasto e atualmente em regeneração. A altitude varia de 49 a 62 m. As ameaças identificadas foram: herbivoria por gado invasor, caça, potencial para queimadas durante a estiagem, coleta de madeira, e erosão provocada por rápido escoamento de água pluvial em área descoberta. Propostas: criação de RPPN em parte da propriedade, visando apoio público e legal na proteção à Unidade de Conservação (UC), além de desconto em imposto territorial rural e possibilidade futura de pagamento por serviços ambientais; criação de centro de visitantes; desenvolvimento de atividades de educação ambiental; extrativismo sustentável com criação de produtos alimentícios regionais; articulação com comerciantes e prestadores de serviços dos arredores; cercamento da área; delimitação de trilhas e aceiros após análise florística; pesquisa científica (de biodiversidade e farmacológica); produção madeireira; estabelecimento de viveiro de mudas; criação de abelhas nativas; camping; fornecimento de área para soltura de animais silvestres, associada ao turismo de observação de fauna; orientação ao município para boas práticas na aplicação do ICMS ecológico no caso efetivo de criação de UC. Conclusão: A propriedade possui elevado potencial de preservação aliada ao desenvolvimento econômico, principalmente ecoturismo, beneficiado pelo fácil acesso por rodovias e proximidade a rotas turísticas já estabelecidas, como a Rota das Emoções. Ademais, a área transformada em RPPN viria a somar em áreas protegidas e funcionaria como um corredor ecológico entre as UCs e áreas de preservação próximas.

n 2007 the National Park Service (NPS) Southeast Coast Network (SECN) began collecting water-quality data in the estuarine waters of Canaveral National Seashore as part the NPS Vital Signs monitoring program. The scope of the monitoring program includes Mosquito Lagoon and is comprised of continuous water-quality monitoring conducted by the network at one site and is augmented with monthly data collected at five stations by St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). The continuous-monitoring data station is located at the Canaveral National Seashore visitor center dock and collects pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, turbidity, and water-level data every 30 minutes. The five stations located throughout Mosquito Lagoon are sampled by Volusia County for the SJRWMD as part of the District’s Indian River Lagoon Water-Quality Monitoring Network; data at these five stations include monthly measurements of water-clarity conditions, nutrients, and chlorophyll a levels. Both the network and the SJRWMD programs use methods adapted from, or compatible with, the water-quality monitoring program established by the National Estuarine Research Reserve Program (Wenner and Geist 2001). The Canaveral National Seashore fixed-station water-quality monitoring site is part of the SECN estuarine water- and sediment-quality monitoring efforts, which routinely collects data in the vicinity of seven park units along the southeastern U.S. coast (DeVivo et al. 2008; Gregory et al. 2013). Information collected by this monitoring program will be used to help managers make better-informed decisions by understanding trends and variability related to water-quality conditions in park waters.

Information collected by this monitoring program will be used to help managers make better-informed decisions by understanding trends and variability related to water-quality conditions in park waters. This report only addresses the continuous data collected at one site at the Canaveral National Seashore Visitors Center. Mean monthly temperatures ranged from 16.6 °C in January and February of 2009 to 31.4 °C in August 2007. Highest water temperatures at CANA were typically observed during the late summer months of July and August with the coolest temperatures in January and February. Mean monthly salinity values averaged 35.5 ppt for this period and ranged from 27.6 ppt in June 2009 to 44.0 ppt in June 2008. Typically, lower salt concentrations were common in the winter and higher during the summer months. Rainfall events, tropical storms, and periods of drought influence salinities. Mean monthly dissolved oxygen levels ranged from 3.8 mg/L in June 2007 to 8.1 mg/L during January 2008. Mean monthly dissolved oxygen levels were typically lowest from June to October. Mean daily dissolved oxygen levels occasionally dropped below 3 mg/L during summer 2007 and fall 2009. Mean monthly pH values averaged 8.01 during this period. Almost all daily average values were between 7.5 and 8.5 except for several days during August when pH values briefly dropped below 7.0. Mean monthly turbidity ranged from 1.6 NTU in January 2008 to 34 NTUs in June 2008. Mean monthly average turbidity level for the period was 11.4 NTUs; however, mean daily turbidity values were highly variable. Water depth at the sampling site varied by 0.5 meters during the period of monitoring. From July 2005 until April 2007 and during July 2007all data collected were flagged due to lack of proper calibration procedures and instrument failures and are not shown in this report. Excluding this period, the average percentage of valid data (all parameters) collected monthly ranged from 14 % to 100 %. During this same period approximately 83 % of all data collected at this site is available for use.

This station collects pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, and water level data every 15 minutes. Southeast Coast Network staff make additional water-quality measurements, which include monthly measurements of water-clarity conditions, nutrient concentrations, and chlorophyll a levels. Network staff follow methods that were adapted from the water-quality monitoring program established by the National Estuarine Research Reserve Program (Wenner and Geist 2001). Data and results are compared to EPA criteria (EPA 2012) which rate conditions as good, fair, or poor. The Cumberland Island National Seashore fixed-station water-quality monitoring site is part of the SECN estuarine water- and sediment-quality monitoring effort, which routinely collects data in the vicinity of seven coastal park units located along the southeastern U.S. coast (DeVivo et al. 2008, Gregory et al. 2013). Information collected by this monitoring program will be used to help managers make better-informed decisions by understanding trends and variability related to water-quality conditions in park waters. Summary data are presented in annual data reports published by the Southeast Coast Network. Monthly water-quality data collected during 2013–2014 at the SECN site near Cumberland Island National Seashore reflected good to fair conditions throughout the two-year period. Chlorophyll a concentrations were fair (12 visits) to good (12 visits) for the period of record, ranging from 2.98 µg/L to 9.19 µ/L. Water clarity was mostly good (17 visits) to fair (6 visits) for the period of record. Over the period of record, seven samples were pulled for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP). Six of the seven DIN concentrations were rated as good, with one fair. Three of the DIP concentrations were good, and four were fair. Mean monthly dissolved oxygen levels were fair to good throughout the period, ranging from 4.4 mg/L to 8.5 mg/L. Individual values ranged from 2.0 mg/L in May 2013 to 9.4 mg/L in January 2014. Mean monthly pH values ranged from 7.4 to 8.3. Individual readings ranged from 7.1 in September 2014 to 8.5 in January and February 2013. Monthly mean turbidity values were highest during February 2013 at 10.9 NTUs. The lowest individual turbidity reading for any given month was 0.0 NTUs, and a maximum reading of 627.9 NTUs was recorded in January 2013. Water temperatures in 2013–2014 ranged from a minimum monthly mean of 11.5°C (52.7°F) in January 2014 to a maximum monthly mean of 29.6°C (85.3°F) in August 2014. Individual temperatures ranged from a minimum of 7.4°C (45.3°F) in January 2013 to a maximum of 31.9°C (89.4°F) in July 2014. The tidal range at the Sea Camp dock at Cumberland Island National Seashore is 3.7 meters (12.1 feet).

Full textAbstract:
In 2007 the National Park Service (NPS) Southeast Coast Network (SECN) began collecting water-quality data in the estuarine waters of Canaveral National Seashore as part the NPS Vital Signs monitoring program. The scope of the monitoring program includes Mosquito Lagoon and is comprised of continuous water-quality monitoring conducted by the SECN at one site and is augmented with monthly data collected at five stations by St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD). The continuous-monitoring data station is located at the Canaveral National Seashore visitor center dock and collects pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, turbidity and water-level data every 30 minutes. The five stations located throughout Mosquito Lagoon are sampled by Volusia County for the SJRWMD as part of the District’s Indian River Lagoon Water-Quality Monitoring Network; data at these five stations include monthly measurements of water-clarity conditions, nutrients, and chlorophyll a levels. Both the SECN and the SJRWMD programs use methods adapted from, or compatible with, the water-quality monitoring program established by the National Estuarine Research Reserve Program. The Canaveral National Seashore fixed-station water-quality monitoring site is part of the SECN estuarine water- and sediment-quality monitoring efforts, which routinely collects data in the vicinity of seven park units along the southeastern U.S. coast. Information collected by this monitoring program will be used to help managers make better-informed decisions by understanding trends and variability related to water-quality conditions in park waters. A summary of 2012 data is presented below. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) was mostly good throughout the year, with a few fair readings occurring most commonly in June. Three of the five sites had a fair reading for dissolved inorganic phosphorous (DIP) in November. DIP for the remaining sites, and the rest of the year, was rated as good. There were no poor readings for DIN or DIP at any of the sites throughout the year. Some values for DIN and DIP were below the detection limit of the laboratory instrumentation. Chlorophyll a readings were widely variable throughout the year and throughout Mosquito Lagoon. There were 17 good, 17 fair, and 20 poor readings. A majority of the poor readings occurred in the summer and early autumn months. Water clarity conditions ranged from poor to good across most sites with a majority of the poor observations occurring during late summer and fall. Poor and fair water clarity conditions tended to occur during periods with elevated chlorophyll a levels. Mean daily turbidity readings at the continuous recording station were less than 18 NTUs. Salinity ranged from 31.03 to 45.41 parts per thousand (ppt) with the higher values occurring during the spring months. Monthly averages ranged from 35.1 ppt in September to 41.5 ppt in April. pH values ranged between 7.53 and 8.74 throughout the year with monthly averages ranging from 7.8 in September to 8.2 in January, April and November. Dissolved oxygen concentrations measured during monthly sampling were rated good at all sites throughout the year except at two stations in October. Although continuous data indicated a period between April and October when mean daily values commonly dropped below 5 mg/L (fair), with one daily average below 2 mg/L (poor) in September. Approximately 24% of data collected in 2012 were excluded from reporting because it was considered anomalous. Most anomalous data occurred between June 28 and September 11 due to unknown sonde malfunctions. Short periods of missing data in April and August were due to sonde mount replacement. Data collected at the fixed station as well as discrete nutrient data from SJRWMD are consistent with the ideal growing conditions for brown tide, which was observed between July and September 2012.
