Abstract: | Recreational users are one of the major causes of ecosystem damage in publicly owned parks. To ensure the sustainability of these ecosystems, the damage impact of recreational users must be managed. A constrained park management goal is proposed that allows recreational users to pursue welfare derived from park experiences, subject to non-declining ecosystem health and equity of access. Four guiding principles are used to provide a framework for recreational user management in three groups of park ecosystem. |
