Planning methodologies of the public use of protected areas: background and future prospects
Abstract
The protected spaces are currently facing major territorial issues. Various studies have shown that the effectiveness of its management presents important deficiencies associated with the impossibility of reconciling activities of use and conservation, and in recent years has increased the interest in public use planning as a strategy to improve the management of these spaces. Through an extensive literature review of experiences in different countries, this work is proposed to relieve various recent experiences to identify the key factors of this type of processes, but also the main shortcomings highlighted.
The various visions and contributions of the experiences surveyed, contribute to the construction of a methodological perspective based on a number of key components for the planning of public use in these spaces. In a complementary way, on the basis of the results of this study, have been able to identify prospects of planning which could guide initiatives of this nature in the near future.
