Abstract: The aim of this study was to estimate the size and direction of tourism and recreation influence on protected areas within the Natura 2000 sites. The research covered sites in Slovakia within the Alpine Bioregion. Information included in the Standard Data Form (SDF) was analysed and the SDF used as a basic tool to collect data related to the Natura 2000 sites. The tool contains unified information of forms of activities within a given area, their intensity and effect (positive, neutral, or negative) on nature. The study revealed that almost a third of activities pursued in the Slovakian part of the Alpine Bioregion were related to tourism and recreation in the wider sense. Furthermore, the influence of the majority of activities on the environment was considered negative or neutral in all analysed Natura 2000 areas. Only ten forms of activities were found positive in some parts of the Natura 2000 sites. The findings also indicated that the intensity of the analysed activities was similar within the Natura 2000 sites and in the adjacent areas. However, the effects of the selected activities were more often found to be negative within the Natura 2000 sites than in their adjacent areas. The results obtained from this study suggest that broadly understood tourism and recreational activities can be considered an inherent element of human influence on biodiverse areas. They should be taken into consideration in managing and planning Natura 2000 sites and their adjacent areas.

The journal was founded as a joint initiative of the Alpine Network of Protected Areas (ALPARC), the International Scientific Committee on Research in the Alps (ISCAR), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Innsbruck. The journal aims to highlight research on and management issues in protected areas in the Alps without excluding other protected mountain areas in Europe or overseas. Its target audiences are scientists from all related disciplines, managers of protected areas and interested individuals including practitioners, visitors, teachers, etc. The journal presents peer-reviewed articles in English by authors who research protected mountain areas and management issues within these areas. It's published twice a year as a collaboration of the Austrian Academy of Sciences Press – responsible for the e-version – and Innsbruck University Press – responsible for the print version. Die Zeitschrift „eco.mont“ – Zeitschrift zur Forschung in Gebirgsschutzgebieten – erschien im Juni 2009 zum ersten Mal. Die Zeitschrift wurde auf Initiative des Netzwerks Alpiner Schutzgebiete (ALPARC), der Schweizer Akademie der Naturwissenschaften (ISCAR), der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (ÖAW) und der Universität Innsbruck gegründet. Sie hat das Ziel, Themen zu behandeln, die gleichzeitig Forschung und Verwaltung in und über die Schutzgebiete der Alpen betreffen, ohne dabei andere Gebirgsschutzgebiete Europas oder anderswo auszuschließen. Diese neue Zeitschrift richtet sich an ein Publikum von Wissenschaftlern der verschiedensten Fachbereiche, an die Verwalter von Schutzgebieten und an alle sonstigen Interessierten, Praktiker, Besucher, Lehrpersonal etc. einbegriffen. Die Zeitschrift veröffentlicht begutachtete Beiträge auf Englisch von Autoren, die Fragen der Gebirgsschutzgebiete und deren Verwaltung betreffen. Sie erscheint zweimal pro Jahr, auf der Basis der gemeinsamen Anstrengungen des Verlags der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, der für die digitale Fassung verantwortlich ist, und der Presse der Universität Innsbruck, verantwortlich für die gedruckte Fassung. |
