ABSTRACT

This study approach focused on the dual purpose: Ecological stability and Experience quality. And this study incorporate two values incorporates with two values, which are protection value for protection value for ecological stability and attraction value for experience quality. Protection value for ecological stability can be evaluated by information on ecological preservation value and environmental sensitivity. Attraction value for experience quality can be evaluated by information on facilities and attractive sites etc. This study tried to find ways to solve the conflict through comparing both values and to suggest site based visitor management strategies. As indicators for carrying capacity and site-based management plan, protection value and attraction value were employed. Protection value was evaluated and graded using GIS-based analysis with factors of biological and physical sensitivity. Attraction value was evaluated and graded using GIS-based analysis with factors of facilities and attractive sites. Site based visitor management guide was derived through comparing protection grade with attraction grade. The assessment method of carrying capacities in this study has its significance in overcoming many constraints which various preceding studies had faced, and further more, proposing a more concrete and scientific approach method. Also, the assessment system, which applies such concepts including management index, and environmental and ecological carrying capacity, and visiting attraction, has never been attempted domestically and internationally for visitor management in national park. it will take a large role in establishing a concrete management guide. This study approach for relative spatio-temporal carrying capacity can be helpful in making policies for decentralizing visitors and keeping the park environmentally stable.
