ABSTRACT

Protected Areas (PA) are widely studied, especially related to effectiveness strategies for environmental conservation and ecotourism management. Research on tourism planning and management in natural environments is fundamental. Several methodologies have been created to obtain data for indicating guidelines for the management and planning of PA. This paper analyzes, discusses and makes complementary suggestions to the carrying capacity methodology developed by Cifuentes et al. (1999 Cifuentes, M., Mesquita, C. A. B., Mendes, J., Morales, M. E., Aguilar, N., Cancino, D., Gallo, M., Jollon, M., Ramirez, C., Ribeiro, N., Sandoval, E., & Turcios, M. (1999). Capacidad de carga turística de las areas de use público del Monumento Nacional Guayabo, Costa Rica. VVWF Centroamerica. [Google Scholar]). Our aim was to lower the subjectivity content of Carrying Capacity (Cifuentes et al. 1999 Cifuentes, M., Mesquita, C. A. B., Mendes, J., Morales, M. E., Aguilar, N., Cancino, D., Gallo, M., Jollon, M., Ramirez, C., Ribeiro, N., Sandoval, E., & Turcios, M. (1999). Capacidad de carga turística de las areas de use público del Monumento Nacional Guayabo, Costa Rica. VVWF Centroamerica. [Google Scholar]), and to incorporate several impact indicators in the monitoring process. Data were collected on Ibitipoca State Park trails in August 2018 and April 2019. Results demonstrated that flooding, soil surface degradation, exposed tree roots and canopy layer are core for carrying capacity visitors, totaling 959 tourists per day. Water quality was altered through the parameters: Specific Conductivity (966 mS/cm) and Total Dissolved Solids (624 mg/L) and Conductivity (173 mS/cm) and pH (3.69). The discussions and results highlight the need for a broader approach to the physical parameters, the adoption of qualitative variables, the increase of biological and ecological factors. Therefore, the analysis of the carrying capacity methodology aims to assist more comprehensive strategies integrated with planning and monitoring of PA.

摘要

保护区（PA）得到了广泛的研究，尤其是与环境保护和生态旅游管理的有效性策略有关。研究自然环境中的旅游规划和管理至关重要。已经创建了几种方法来获取数据，以指示PA的管理和规划指南。本文对Cifuentes等人开发的承载能力方法进行了分析，讨论并提出了补充建议。（1999年 Cifuentes，M.，Mesquita，CAB，Mendes，J.，Morales，ME，Aguilar，N.，Cancino，D.，Gallo，M.，Jollon，M.，Ramirez，C.，Ribeiro，N.，Sandoval，E.，和Turcios，M。（1999）。Capacidad德cargaturística代拉斯地区去使用德尔检察署瓜亚沃国家纪念碑，哥斯达黎加。VVWF中美洲。 [Google Scholar]）。我们的目的是降低承载力（的主体内容Cifuentes的等人1999年 Cifuentes，M.，Mesquita，CAB，Mendes，J.，Morales，ME，Aguilar，N.，Cancino，D.，Gallo，M.，Jollon，M.，Ramirez，C.，Ribeiro，N.，Sandoval，E.，和Turcios，M。（1999）。Capacidad德cargaturística代拉斯地区去使用德尔检察署瓜亚沃国家纪念碑，哥斯达黎加。VVWF中美洲。 [谷歌学术]），并在监控过程中纳入几个影响指标。数据收集于2018年8月和2019年4月的伊比蒂波卡州立公园步道。结果表明，洪水，土壤表面退化，裸露的树根和树冠层是载客量的核心，每天总计959人。通过以下参数更改水质：比电导率（966 mS / cm）和总溶解固体（624 mg / L）和电导率（173 mS / cm）和pH（3.69）。讨论和结果强调需要对物理参数采取更广泛的方法，采用定性变量，增加生物和生态因素。因此，对承载力方法论的分析旨在协助将更全面的战略与巴勒斯坦权力机构的规划和监测相结合。
