Document Summary
These changes can be environmental, social and/or cultural. Using comparative examples from our collective experiences and world views, discuss: Scale depends on how many people you are with (effects the amount of impact) Probability how likely is it to have an effect? (ex. Some animals are more adaptable to change, others are not) Can"t manage nature, but can manage how humans use nature. Mitigation restrict access (make it hard to get to, make it expensive to busy), different zoning, segregate tourists from locals etc. to preserve an area and reduce any impact. Perception all in the marketing, make someone think what they are doing is something (ex. Eco tourism; is rock climbing really eco tourism?) Cannot predict carrying capacity only and tool to criticize what has already happened. Can tell carrying capacity has been met when environment has been destroyed or people"s enjoyment of the place has been decreased.
