“…Understanding the local community usage of a national park, local residents' sense of place, and their perceptions of appropriate activities in national parks can potentially help protected area managers to reduce visitor-conflict and concomitant social and environmental impacts (Tanner-McAllister, et al 2014). By understanding visitors'…”

Increased pressure to allow more recreational activities in peri-urban national parks may impact local communities. We surveyed residents living in local communities near six peri-urban national parks (IUCN Category II) in Queensland, Australia. We assessed their sense of place, their perceptions of different types of visitors' activities, and interactions between attitudes and perceptions. Most respondents, including national park users and non-users, perceived non-motorized recreational activities as appropriate but perceived motorized activities negatively. Overall, negative perceptions were related to a respondent's sense of place. Respondents with a stronger sense of place had more positive perceptions of non-motorized activities but more negative perceptions of motorized activities than respondents reporting a weaker sense of place. Results suggest that people identifying with their local national park may have a small 'latitude of acceptance' for motorized activities. We found limited displacement due to recreational conflicts; most respondents still visited these parks. The methods used here, if applied to other peri-urban national parks, could help determine a local community's recreational activity thresholds, offering park managers a way to potentially diminish conflict and enhance visitors' experiences.

“…From the administration and management of a destination point of view, studies have focused mainly on the analysis of the behavior of tourists, based on information on the movement of flows [47,48]. Other works focus on information and help tourists in specific places such as natural parks, depending on the cases [49][50][51][52][53][54] or for decision-making regarding infrastructure congestion and overburden in natural areas [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. The different perspectives from which the mobility of tourists has been studied give us more in-depth knowledge on the subject.…”

The tracking of tourist movements is an essential aspect in the management of sustainable tourist destinations. The current information and communication technologies provide innovative ways of collecting data on tourist movements, but it is still necessary to evaluate tools and methods of study for this challenge. At this point, mobile technologies are the best candidate for this task. Given the relevance of the topic, this paper proposes a mapping science analysis of publications on "movement of tourists" and "traceability." It has been carried out in the two main sources WOS and SCOPUS. The term "traceability" is brought from industry and technology areas to be applied to the tourist movement/mobility tracking and management. The methodological scheme is based on a selection of search criteria with combinations of terms. The sources of specialized information in applied social sciences and technology were then selected. From there, the searches have been executed for their subsequent analysis in three stages-(I) relevance analysis filtering the results to obtain the most pertinent; (II) analysis of articles with similarity thematic, authors, journals or citations; (III) analysis of selected papers as input for the mapping analysis using Citespace. The automatic naming of clusters under the selected processing confirms that the analysis of movements is a valid scientific trend but research-oriented from the perspective of traceability is non-existent, so this approach is novel and complementary to existing ones and a potential contribution to knowledge about tourist movements. Finally, a set of methodological considerations and a classification of information capture tools are proposed. In this classification, mobile technology is the best option to enable tourist movement analysis.

“…Protection of life and property are a very high priority in the Queensland Government's fire policy (Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service 2013) and close neighbouring residential areas may see ecological burning take a 'back seat' (Tanner-McAllister et al 2014). Some frog species that require fire adapted ecosystems for habitat are particularly sensitive to climate change and its interaction with fire (Penman et al 2015).…”

Protected areas will vary in how they respond to climate related threats and impacts. An important step in adapting protected area management to respond to climate change is identifying how protected areas and their values may be impacted. This requires an understanding of the ecological and social system impacting on the particular values so that consideration of management options and issues can be informed by this understanding. A set of Bayesian belief networks were developed to assess impacts and management issues for three key values (stream-dwelling frogs, cool temperate forest and recreational walking access) across four National Parks (Springbrook, Lamington, Mount Barney and Main Range) in Queensland, Australia. The aim was to assess how those values may be impacted by climate change, how the parks differ in relation to likely impact and options for management adaptation. We observed, depending on a protected area's physical and socio-ecological characteristics, that the values were likely to be differently affected across the parks and management responses will need to take account of these differences.
