Carrying capacities
Resources are seen as having a
maximum "carrying capacity"
Standard definition (Mathieson/Wall
1982):
|
"The maximum
number of people who can use a site without unacceptable
alteration in the physical environment and without
an unacceptable decline in the quality of experience
gained by visitors."
|
Discuss:
What is acceptable? Who is accepting?
What is quality? How to measure?
The interests of the visitors (not to little and not to much
other visitors) are mentioned. Whose interests have
also to be taken into account?
