Carrying capacity of hiking trails in Natura 2000 sites: a case study from North Atlantic Islands (Azores, Portugal)

Abstract

Nature-based tourism is an important part of the global tourism industry, and its

Ecological carrying capacity of public green spaces as a sustainability index of urban population: a case study of Mashhad city in Iran

“…Thereafter, the public green spaces were selected to estimate of carrying capacity due to their public usage and managerial role in the urban planning. To apply three-level procedure of carrying capacity, three substantial equations are used to estimate of the physical, real and effective carrying capacities, which were relevantly resulted from several studies like as Zacarias et al (2011), Queiroz et al (2014) and Rodella et al (2017). The physical carrying capacity was determined by the following Eq.…”

“…or diurnal rate of visit that is observed as 0.2 (~5-h from 24-h) through the fieldwork operations. According to carrying capacity literature, the Au value can be varied between 1 visitor per m² to walk comfortably (Queiroz et al 2014) and 5-10 m² for tourists in coastal beaches (Zacarias et al 2011).…”

Sustainability of tourism development in Kashmir — Is paradise lost?

“…It is suggested that destinations should not be developed beyond their innate capacities for tourism. Despite the limitations associated to the TCC concept, it has been described as an appropriate tool for management, as it enables the preservation of resources (Queiroz, Ventura, Guerreiro, & Cunha, 2014). Although not always consensual, the TCC assessment remains one of the most useful and applied techniques (Zacarias, Williams, & Newton, 2011) for tourism and recreation planning, and management, especially if combined with other management tools (Queiroz et al, 2014).…”

Daya Dukung Jalur Pendakian Bukit Raya Di Taman Nasional Bukit Baka Raya Kalimantan Barat

“…Data sekunder berisikan data mengenai iklim, jenis tanah dan kelerengan Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif, yaitu menghitung jumlah orang yang dapat melakukan aktivitas di lokasi pendakian Bukit Raya berdasarkan rumus yang dikembangkan Cifuentes (1992) Hasil perhitungan RCC jumlah orang yang dapat berkunjung yaitu sebanyak 104 orang per minggu atau sebanyak 15 orang/ hari dan jumlah pengunjung yang melakukan aktivitas di jalur pendakian pada tahun 2015 belum melampaui jumlah RCC yaitu baru sebanyak 30 orang per September 2015. Dalam mengukur RCC, faktor-faktor koreksi diperoleh dari hasil pertimbangan keadaan lingkungan, biofisik dan sosial dan ini terkai erat dengan keadaan setiap lokasi dan kegiatannya (Queiroz et al, 2014). Metodologi RCC ini dimungkinkan mengidentifikasi dampak pengunjung yang mempengaruhi faktor fisik untuk pengelolaan kawasan lindung.…”

“…Hasil perhitungan jumlah pengunjung yang dapat diterima pada jalur pendakian Bukit Raya hanya sebatas pada perhitungan nilai daya dukung riil, Menurut Queiroz et al (2014) perlu segera dihitung nilai daya dukung efektif karena keadaan yang demikian merupakan merupakan titik lemah dalam kapasitas jalur pendakian Bukit Raya sebagai akibat kelangkaan sumber daya manusia sehingga tidak mungkin optimal dalam kinerja.…”
