| Abstract: | This article explores that mountain hut infrastructure in the Alps as an important element of ecotourism in the Alpine region. Based on qualitative multi-attribute modelling supported by the DEXi software. The integrated rule-based model is hierarchical and consists of two submodels that cover the infrastructure of the mountain huts and that of the hutsÂ’ surroundings(four mountain huts in Triglav National Park in Slovenia). It is provides a new empirical approach to evaluating existing mountain infrastructure and predicting improvements for the future. The author argues this model proposes an approach to the management assessment of mountain huts with the main aim of increasing the quality of life of mountain environment visitors as well as the satisfaction of tourists who may eventually become ecotourists. |
