Recreation carrying capacity estimates for protected areas: a study of Termessos National Park

Öz:

İyi bir park planlama ve yönetim yaklaşımı, istenilen biyofiziksel ve sosyal koşulları sağlamak için en uygun rekreasyon kullanımı düzeyini tanımlamalıdır. Rekreasyon taşıma kapasitesi, milli park ve korunan doğal alanların yönetiminde uygun rekreasyon kullanımının tahmin edilmesini sağlayan önemli konulardan birisidir. Rekreasyon kullanımı ve taşıma kapasiteleri Milli Park mevzuatının planlama bölümünde belirtilmiş olmasına rağmen, Türk Milli Park sisteminin ihmal edilmiş bir bölümüdür. Bu çalışma Türkiye'nin güneyinde bulunan Termessos Milli Parkı'nın kendine özgü doğal ve kültürel kaynaklarını dikkate alan bir rekreasyon taşıma kapasitesi tahmini üzerinde odaklanmıştır. Bu amaçla parkın yıllık ziyaretçi durumu, alanın coğrafik, biyo-fiziksel ve yönetimsel özellikleri analiz edilmiştir. Demografik özellikler ve ziyaretin özelliklerini saptamak için 500 ziyaretçi ile anket yapılmıştır. Parkın etkili rekreasyon taşıma kapasitesi günlük 97 ziyaretçi olarak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, parkın mevcut ortalama ziyaret durumunun, sınırlandırıcı faktörlere göre hesaplanan rekreasyon taşıma kapasitesi tahmininin altında kaldığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Ancak bunlar ortalama rakamlardır. Pratikte, özellikle yoğun kullanım sezonlarında doygunluk veya taşıma kapasitesinin aşılması riski bulunmaktadır. Çünkü parkın ziyareti ve patikaların kullanılma durumu mevsimlere, hava ve patika koşullarına göre değişmektedir. Bu nedenle yeni bir patika sistemi ile bütünleşen bir yönetim sisteminin geliştirilmesi gerekmektedir.

Öz:

A sound park planning and management approach should define the optimum level for recreation use to provide the desired biophysical and social conditions. Recreation carrying capacity is an important concept in park and protected area management for estimation of optimum recreation use. Although recreational use and carrying capacities are stated in the planning section of the National Park Regulations, it has been a neglected part of the Turkish National Park System in practice. This study focuses on the carrying capacity estimation for Termessos National Park in southern Turkey with consideration for its specific natural and cultural resources. The annual visitations, geographic, bio-physical, and managerial characteristics of the park were analyzed. On-site questionnaires were administrated to a sample of 500 respondents to collect data concerning the demographics and visit characteristics. The effective recreation carrying capacity of the park was found to be 97 visitors per day. The results demonstrated that actual average visitation of the park is lower than the recreation carrying capacity which is calculated with limiting factors. However, these are the mean numbers. In practice there is still a risk of saturation or carrying capacity overload particularly in the peak seasons. Since the visitation to the park and use level of trails depends upon the season, weather, and trail conditions. Therefore a management system should be developed with the integration of a new trail system.
