O contexto temático deste estudo situa-se na confluência do ecoturismo com as áreas protegidas, compreendidos como dois campos de interesse convergente quando contemplados plenamente no seu papel para a conservação da natureza. O objeto de análise é o Parque Nacional do Viruá, uma unidade de conservação federal localizada no município de Caracaraí a aproximadamente 197 km de Boa Vista, capital do Estado de Roraima. Por apresentar uma rica biodiversidade o parque possui um expressivo potencial para o ecoturismo, porém enfrenta um desafio no que diz respeito ao desenvolvimento deste tipo de atividade em seu interior, já que boa parte do seu potencial turístico, assim como a principal via de acesso ao mesmo e as áreas com possibilidade de construção de futuras instalações para recepção de visitantes estão situadas na “Estrada Perdida”, fora dos limites do parque. Esta problemática induziu ao presente estudo, que teve como objetivo refletir sobre os possíveis benefícios que a transformação da “Estrada Perdida” numa área protegida do tipo estrada-parque, poderia levar ao Parque Nacional do Viruá e seu entorno. Trata-se de uma investigação de nível exploratório-descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, utilizando como procedimentos metodológicos a revisão bibliográfica em livros, revistas e artigos científicos acerca do assunto, a pesquisa documental e a pesquisa de campo, que consistiu em entrevista com o gestor do Parque Nacional do Viruá. Os resultados do estudo apontaram que além dos benefícios socioambientais relacionados à proteção dos recursos naturais e culturais da região, a estrada-parque tende a produzir efeitos positivos também e, em especial, nos âmbitos econômico e social da unidade de conservação e de seu entorno regional. The Viruá National Park (RR, Brazil) and the possibility of creating a roas park in your around ABSTRACT: The thematic context of this study lies at the confluence of ecotourism in protected areas, understood as two converging fields of interest as contemplated in its full role in the preservation of nature. The object of analysis is the Viruá National Park, a federal conservation unit in the municipality of Caracaraí approximately 197 km from Boa Vista, Roraima state capital. As its great biodiversity, the park has a significant potential for ecotourism, but faces an challenge with regard to developing this type of activity, since most of its tourism potential as well as the main access to the same and areas with possible future construction of facilities for the reception of visitors are located in "Lost Highway", outside the park boundaries. This problem led to this study, which aimed to reflect on the possible benefits that the transformation of "Lost Highway" in a protected area of ​​the park-type road may lead to Viruá National Park and its surroundings. This is a research exploratory- descriptive, with qualitative approach, using as instruments the bibliographic review, magazines and scientific papers, documentary research and the field research, which consisted of an interview with the manager of the Viruá National Park. The results of the study showed that besides the social and environmental benefits related to the protection of natural and cultural resources of the region, the road-park may also have positive effects and, in particular in the economic and social unit of conservation and its surrounding region.

Material Evidence

Cultural resources are commonly defined as resources that provide material evidence of past human activities. These resources are unique, as they are both finite and non-renewable. This provides a challenge for traditional visitor use management since these resources have no limits of acceptable change. However, with nearly every national park in the US containing cultural resources, coupled with ever-growing visitation, it is essential that managers of parks and protected areas have the ability to make science-informed decisions about cultural resources in the context of visitor use management. We propose a framework that can help provide context and exploration for these challenges. Drawing on previous literature, this framework includes risk-based approaches to decision making about visitor use; visitor cognitions related to cultural resources; emotions, mood, and affect related to cultural resource experiences; creating and evaluating interpretive programs; deviant visitor behaviors related to cultural resources; and co-management.

Only a brief summary of the results can be presented at this time as the data are still being analyzed. Mitigation was completed on the reconstruction of the Mammoth Water System, Yellowstone National Park. The system begins at the intake at the confluence of Indian Creek and the Gardner River. The pipeline runs into Mammoth Hot Springs. Our field research consisted of the recording of cultural resources, test excavations at 50 meter intervals along the pipeline, and the excavation of the Bear Claw site (48YE504). The latter produced a range of projectile point types suggesting intermittent occupations of the site back to at least 7000 B.P. Also recovered were parts of a butchered elk (Cervus canadensis) in association with obsidian tools. Eventually, we will be able to obtain obsidian hydration dates from these tools and hence some minimal data concerning the temporal duration of elk in northern Yellowstone Park.

Parks And Protected Areas

Monitoring cultural resources in parks and protected areas is greatly enhanced using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). For this example, a pilot inventory of cultural resources is illustrated for the United States National Park Service lands that protect the Appalachian Trail in Massachusetts. In Massachusetts, the trail stretches 145.2 kilometers (90.2 miles) and is protected by nearly 2052 hectares (5070 acres) of land. To aid in the resource monitoring, these remote sensing data are corroborated with historic records to identify the historical archaeological resources in the corridor. The inventory are then added to existing management plans to help protect the national park with a more complete understanding of the historical human impacts in the backcountry of New England.

Tourism Potential

Creative tourism strategies are often adopted by destinations as a result of its appeal to policy makers, without a serious assessment of tourists’ needs. Although there are significant cultural and heritage resources in and on the periphery of the Kruger National Park (KNP), these resources seem to be inadequately harnessed. The aim of the article is thus to explore the potential of creative tourism as a medium to harness cultural and heritage resources in the KNP by measuring the importance of local community (cultural tourism) elements to tourists when visiting the KNP. Convenience sampling is used to distribute questionnaires to tourists, and 201 responses are used in the data analysis. The results indicate that respondents have a neutral opinion regarding the importance of local community aspects, and recommendations are made to exploit the untapped potential for creative tourism. This study adds to the current debate on creative tourism by assessing its role in protected areas.

Tourism Potential

Protected areas are one the most important nature conservation landscapes and during the last few decades, the importance of natural areas have been considered as a priority for lifestyle preferences of people around the world. Karatepe Aslantaş National Park is one of the examples for these protected areas in Turkey, however; there have been limited studies focusing on the preservation and development of a socioeconomic plan for the aforementioned national park. Therefore, this study aims to develop planning and management priorities of Karatepe Aslantaş National Park and determine tourism potential towards future-oriented conservation. In this regard, a SWOT analysis was performed to develop sustainable planning and design proposals. To determine the historical transformation of a protected area and its surroundings, Land use/land cover-change (LUCC) detection was performed using Landsat 7 ETM and Landsat TIRS/OLI satellites images of the study area for the years 1990 and 2018. The results showed that in 1990, the mixed forest class dominated the study area (2376.6 ha), likewise, it was the most effective land cover class in 2018 (2178.14 ha). Agricultural land with natural vegetation class occupied the second largest area for both 1990 and 2018 with 1264.72 ha and 880.13 ha, respectively. A marked decrease was found for the transitional woodland/shrubs cover (565.8 ha in 1990 to 330.35 ha in 2018). Among the all land use classes, the highest percentage of change was found for broad-leaved forest cover at 200% between 1990 and 2018, while the lowest percentage of change occurred to water bodies with 8.82% in the same time frame. Regarding the findings, management proposals have been developed to conserve the protected area considering its tourism potential and archeological heritage values. Therefore, it is recommended that the lack of planning and management strategies needs to be fulfilled as a legal commitment by government agencies.

Environmental education is an important function of Protected Areas among them nature reserves. It includes development of visible and available materials on tours and routes, on geographical and environmental features of a territory, and on unique species of flora and fauna. Interactive map of vegetation “Along Doppelmair’s trail” is an example of scientific information visualization. It was made for a distant and restricted core area in Barguzinsky Nature Reserve. We applied traditional geographical approaches and methods (field research, geobotanical descriptions) and modern GIS technologies (creation of unit database on landscape foundation, satellite image interpretation, infogram visualization) to create the map. As a result a GIS product is created with ArcMAP and located on the ArcGIS Online platform. This map shows characteristic vegetation types, succession stages of pyrogenic dynamics of forest geosystems formed during a century period. Infograms demonstrate information on sites with wild animal encounters, vegetation distribution, landscape features, and photographical materials. This interactive map is a way for environment protection popularization and solving some educational tasks for Protected Areas. It gives an opportunity to study changes in vegetation from Lake Baikal shoreline to mountain peaks of Bаrguzinskii Range, learn typical flora and fauna species, including endangered ones, find interesting historical facts about the reserve, and, thus, get an idea of uniqueness and fragility of nature and the importance of protection attempts.
