“…(2), (3) and (4) (modified after Cifuentes, 1992;Mashayekhan et al, 2014;Sayan & Atik, 2011;Zacarias et al, 2011) as suggested by the IUCN (Ceballos-Lascura'in, 1996). To apply this method, it is important to consider tourist flow, the size of the recreational area, the optimum space available for each tourist to move freely and the visiting time (Cifuentes, 1992;Cifuentes et al, 1999;Segrado, Munoz, & Arroyo, 2008) as discussed below.…”

“…However, interest in it peaked during 1960s and 1970s. Over the years, TCC has been evaluated for individual tourist destinations around the world (e.g., Barancok & Barancokova, 2008;Lone, Lone, & Malik, 2013;Manning, Wang, Valliere, Lawson, & Newman, 2002;McCool & Lime, 2001;Nghi, Lan, Thai, Mai, & Thanh, 2007;Sayan & Atik, 2011). It is suggested that destinations should not be developed beyond their innate capacities for tourism.…”

“…The number of tourist in GKFT was increasing during the last four years (2014-2017) where the increase of visitor number reaches 171,60% (8,570 visitors) or 57,20% average increase per year (2,857 visitor/year). Average visit duration divided into 3 categories ie 1-2 hours; 3-4 hours; 5-6 hours [10]. Based on questionnaires given to 90 respondents, 75.56% stayed for 1-2 hours; 22.22% stayed for 3-4 hours; and 2.22% stayed for 5-6 hours.…”

The number of tourists who visit Goa Kiskendo Forest Tourism have been increased. By the increasing of tourists number will increase tourism activities so it will not be easy to manage it. It relates to realize the balance between tourism activities with environmental sustainability because with the increase will cause environmental damage. Therefore, to reduce the negative impacts, especially environmental biophysical conditions, it is necessary to conduct research on the carrying capacity analysis of the tourist environment in Goa Kiskendo Forest Tourism, which is linked to the maximum amount of visitors received in the area influenced by environmental biophysical aspects and management capacity. The method used refers to the Cifuentes formula (1992) which consists of Physical Carrying Capacity (PCC), Real Carrying Capacity (RCC) and Effective Carrying Capacity (ECC). Data collection was done by field observation / survey, literature study, questionnaire and limited interview. The carrying capacity analysis result of tourist environment in Goa Kiskendo Forest Tourism shows the PCC value is amount 3,930 visitors / day; RCC value is 276 visitors / day and ECC value is 184 visitors / day. This value when compared with the actual average number of current visitors is 37 visitors / day, is immobile far under the value of the effective carrying capacity analysis results. Founded on the effective carrying capacity value, the growth of Goa Kiskendo Forest Tourism can still be done by optimalization of the visitors number by 79.89% in accordance with the effective carrying capacity so the environmental conditions are stay awaked with the tourism activities in the location.

“…The capacity of a park varies depending upon the place, season, time, visitor behavior, facility design, patterns and management level, and the dynamic characteristics of the environmental elements (Ceballos-Lascuráin, 1996). Many studies are conducted concerning different aspects of the carrying capacity for National Parks and protected areas or some areas with ecological value (Papageorgiou & Brotherton, 1999;Leujak & Ormond, 2007;Sayan & Atik, 2011;Nghi, 2007).…”

Deserts have a variety of potentials in ecotourism where comprehensive planning can lead to the sustainable development of the desert. Carrying capacity can have different partial definitions, especially depending on the economic, social and environmental dimensions. The set of these types of capacities can constitute the tourism carrying capacity. One of the distinguished deserts in Iran is Mesr, located in Isfahan province. The objective of this paper is to identify the optimum number of eco-tourists visiting Mesr desert, for the achievement of sustainable development in this area, based on the desert ecological potentials. Therefore organising and planning these potentials could raise the economical growth of the region. The carrying capacity of the area is assessed by using the methodology suggested by the IUCN. The capacities are assessed in three levels. With respect to these capacities in the planning process, the environmental damages prevent in the region and provide easy options for eco-tourism. It is necessary to survey the damaging factors that make the color of the sand to fade. After sampling of septic and non-septic sand, the outcome shows remarkable effect of insecticides on sand pigment. This implies more control on accommodation conditions.
