Land use and building regulation within protected natural areas in Serbia is specific in comparison to areas without this status. Since urban plans define the rules and conditions limited to urban settlements and locations of national priority (e.g. tourism resort in natural protected areas), other areas, including significant parts of protected natural areas, rely on spatial plans, which often contain elements of detailed urban planning (i.e. regulation and building rules). Preservation of ecologic and environmental functions is a priority in protected natural areas (particularly in zones of I and II level of protection), but they are also eligible for controlled development purposes in zone of III level of protection. Due to large distance from administrative centre and institutions responsible for building inspection, it is not rare case in Serbia that illegal building in protected areas makes them more exposed to illegal actions. Therefore, this paper focuses on the role of spatial plans in balancing between land use and building in protected natural areas on the one hand and nature protection on the other hand. In-depth analysis of chosen spatial plans, here is given a comprehensive review of building and land use postulates, regulations and different levels of protection applied in spatial planning. Starting from the Spatial Plan of the Republic of Serbia 2010- 2020, analysis gives a major significance to four special purpose area spatial plans of different kind: Gornje Podunavlje Special Nature Reserve, Tisa River Multifunctional Ecological Corridor, Kopaonik National Park and Vlasina Landscape of Exceptional Features. Finally, there is shown diversity and systematisation of existing measures, and contribution to understanding of challenges and recommendations on future improvements of methodology in planning and implementation of plans in order to enhance balance between development and protection.

Qualitative assessment of the current and perspective nature protection efficiency of specially protected natural areas as forms of the animals, plants biodiversity conservation directly in habitats and unique landscapes for optimization of territorial conservation is necessary. Environmental efficiency can be an assessment parameter of the completeness of the certain specially protected natural areas implementation, caused by its belonging to a category, the status, natural and ecological features of the territory. The technique developed by WWF of Russia in 2012 and published by M.S. Stishov is effective for such research. An advantage of this technique consists in an opportunity to estimate results in the sphere of conservation for some specially protected natural areas and their regional systems as in the current conditions, and in the long term, including at change ecological situations. Wildlife preserves areas of the Volgograd region which make 15 % of total number of natural protected areas of the region acted as the main object of research and occupy 26 % of the total area of protected areas, belong mainly to a faunal area. The contribution of wildlife preserves to the saving of regional biological and landscape diversity is very significant, especially in the absence of natural sanctuaries as a priority form of territorial conservation in the specially protected natural areas system of the Volgograd region. As a result of research, we estimated values of nature protection relevance, significance and effectiveness of wildlife preserves in the Volgograd region. Factors influencing realization of nature protection function by specially protected natural areas are allocated. The result received can be considered as a basis for plan of increase in the effectiveness of each wildlife preserve of the Volgograd region.

В эпоху возрастающего антропогенного воздействия на природу именно особо охраняемые природные территории (ООПТ) стали уникальным явлением, так как они гармонично сочетают в себе природное и историко-культурное наследие и выполняют схожие с музеем функции, что позволяет интерпретировать их как музеи под открытым небом . В данной статье приводятся примеры репрезентации объектов историко-культурного и природного наследия ООПТ Байкальского региона. На основе полевых материалов автора приводится количественная и качественная характеристика музейных институций природоохранных зон, подчеркивается их особая роль в сохранении и популяризации объектов наследия. Кроме того, автор обращает внимание на реализуемые проекты музеефикации, являющейся приоритетным способом актуализации наследия ООПТ, и указывает на положительные и проблемные моменты, касающиеся особенностей сохранения и демонстрации историко-культурного наследия заповедных зон как туристических объектов.In the era of an increasing anthropogenic impact on nature, people seek to preserve pristine ecological systems and create specially protected natural areas. Such areas become a unique phenomenon of our time since they harmoniously combine natural, historical and cultural heritage and perform functions similar with museums, which allows perceiving them as open-air museums. This article discusses the updating of historical and cultural heritage in the museum-type institutions of the protected areas of the Baikal region. The work is interdisciplinary in nature and written at the intersection of related disciplines: museology, geography, history, ecology, and cultural studies. The article provides specific examples of the conservation and representation of movable and immovable objects of historical, cultural and natural heritage located in the protected areas of the Baikal region, namely in Irkutsk Oblast, in the Republic of Buryatia, in Zabaykalsky Krai. Based on field materials, the article provides a quantitative and qualitative description of the museum-type institutions of the specially protected natural areas of the region their special role in preserving, interpreting and popularising not only protected areas, but also objects of historical and cultural heritage located in these territories is shown. In addition, the article presents ongoing museumification projects as a priority way of updating the heritage of the protected areas. For example, the Zapovednoe Podlemorye project (Republic of Buryatia), which aims to convert the scientific base in the Davsha village into an environmental educational museum complex Timeless Shore, is briefly described. The variety of the historical and cultural sites of the protected areas of the Baikal region from the archaeological finds of researchers of the protected areas to the objects of religious significance. The article contains a brief description of some of the most popular historical and cultural sites of the protected natural areas in the region. The article also emphasises that, in order to preserve and update the heritage of the protected areas of the Baikal region, museum-type institutions have been established, namely, museums, visit centres, open-air exhibitions, exhibition complexes, ecological trails with display objects. In the final part of the article, generalisations and conclusions are made both positive points and problems are shown regarding the features of preserving and demonstrating the historical and cultural heritage of protected areas as tourist sites. This article is of interest to museologists, travel agencies, and researchers of environmental protection areas.

This article is focused on finding problems in land use domain in the areas of protected natural and cultural heritage. In the paper, the influence of special regulation in the natural and cultural protected areas on land management is presented. The paper gives an overview on history of cultural heritage and nature protection initiatives in Slovenia and provides a review on basic EU and international initiatives, conventions in this field. For the case of Slovenian rural land market, it highlights the problem of complex institutional regulations relating to land management in the protected areas, which affect mostly local people. Here, the impact of the protected regimes, the case of pre-emption right, on land management and consequently spatial development in local communities is stressed, which is an important topic in particular in less developed regions since restriction of land use often means more complex, costly and time lasting procedures in land management and less opportunities as the consequence.

Specially Protected Areas

The concept of “ecological tourism” both in the world and in Russia has appeared in the second half of the twentieth century, although people traveled with natural-focused purposes, including around the protected areas, much earlier. The article presents several definitions of ecotourism, including the two given by the authors. The authors note that ecotourism can be developed in two ways: as a journey on any remaining natural areas or as tour, excursion exclusively within specially protected natural areas (SPNA). The second option is successfully developed in many Englishspeaking countries. The article confirms this fact using the original modern data on the dynamics of visits to the most famous national parks in the USA. Based on the analysis of literature and Internet sources it is concluded that the governance of the Russian Federation considers it necessary to develop eco-tourism in our country according to the second “North American” concept. In this case, the people attending the state protected areas – national parks and reserves with educational and recreational goals should be considered as eco-tourists. Based on this assumption the authors of the article give modern official data concerning the number of specially protected areas of different types in Russia as main destinations of ecotourism. The article presents the diagrams showing the quantitative characteristics of the infrastructure for ecotourists in specially protected areas: visitor centers, museums, ecological paths and routes. The dynamics of tourist arrivals in the reserves and national parks of Russia for the period 2001-2016 years is analyzed. In the final part of the article the main problems of eco-tourists recording are identified.

The subject of the paper is protected natural areas of the world and their regional differences. According to the IUCN, a protected natural area is “a clearly defined geographical space, recognized, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values”. States differ in their interpretations of the above definition. Very often, some of the sites that are protected areas in one country may not necessarily be considered protected in another country. In defining and management of protected areas, some countries have adapted their laws to international guidelines, while in other countries the legislation differs significantly from these guidelines. Therefore, the research aims to show regional differences in the identification and management process as well as in the total surface area and abundance of protected natural areas at the world level.

A presente análise objetivou avaliar as ações de planejamento e gestão do Turismo em áreas naturais protegidas da Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista (RMBS) no Estado de São Paulo (Brasil), identificando em que nível estas ações foram influenciadas por conceitos e métodos propostos em dois programas mundiais da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU): os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento do Milênio (ODM) e a Convenção sobre Diversidade Biológica (CDB). Enquanto a CDB já é amplamente difundida em programas de manejo e gestão do Turismo em áreas protegidas no Brasil, os ODM tiveram pouca penetração nesta temática. Subdivididos em oito metas globais, quatro delas têm amplo potencial para contribuir na elaboração de novas metodologias na gestão do Turismo em áreas naturais protegidas: o ODM 01 (redução da fome e da miséria); o ODM 03 (promoção da igualdade de gênero); o ODM 07 (respeito ao meio ambiente) e o ODM 08 (estabelecimento de parcerias para o desenvolvimento sustentável). Como resultado, a pesquisa demonstrou haver influência apenas indireta das metodologias propostas pelos ODM no que tange ao planejamento e gestão de atividades turísticas sustentáveis nas áreas naturais protegidas da RMBS, enquanto a influência da CDB foi facilmente identificável nas políticas e ações de planejamento e gestão do Turismo. Foram alcançadas algumas conclusões, como por exemplo, a de que os ODM passaram por uma clara adaptação ao contexto brasileiro por meio de políticas públicas, preferencialmente com relação ao ODM 01 (redução da pobreza). Quanto ao ODM 07, no qual o Turismo Sustentável insere-se como atividade econômica a ser incentivada na elevação do nível de renda das populações locais e em prol da conservação ambiental, este carece fortemente de políticas públicas assertivas. Sendo colocado pela ONU como primordial para o sucesso dos ODM em países em desenvolvimento, o Turismo Sustentável com base nos ODM e na CDB pode proporcionar significativos ganhos a áreas como a RMBS, permeada por complexas configurações urbanas, ambientais e sociais. Influence of global programs on the sustainability of tourism in protected areas of the metropolitan area of Baixada Santista (SP, Brazil) ABSTRACT This analysis aims to evaluate the action planning and management of tourism in protected natural areas of the Santos Metropolitan Region (RMBS) in the State of São Paulo (Brazil), whilst identifying at what level these actions were influenced by concepts and methods proposed in two global programs of the United Nations (UN): the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). While the CBD is already widespread in management programs and management of tourism in protected areas in Brazil, the MDGs have had little penetration on this theme. Subdivided into eight global goals, four of them have vast potential to contribute to the development of new methodologies in the management of tourism in protected natural areas: the ODM 01 (reducing hunger and poverty); MDG 03 (promoting gender equality); MDG 07 (respect for the environment) and the MDGs 08 (establishment of partnerships for sustainable development). As a result, the survey showed that there was only indirect influence of methodologies proposed by the MDGs with regards to planning and management of sustainable tourism activities in protected natural areas of RMBS. While the influence of the CBD was easily identifiable in policy and action planning and tourism management, some conclusions were reached, including the MDGs passing by a clear adaptation to the Brazilian context through public policies, preferably in relation to the MDGs 01 (poverty reduction). As for the MDGs 07, in which Sustainable Tourism is inserted as an economic activity to be encouraged in raising the income level of local populations while conserving the environment, this strongly lacks assertive public policy. It has been placed by the UN as paramount to the success of the MDGs in developing countries Sustainable Tourism based on the MDGs and the CBD can provide significant gains in areas such as RMBS, permeated by complex urban, environmental and social settings.

The Impact

Tourism in protected natural areas is one of the main economic drivers of rural economies in Europe, and Spain is the European country with the highest number of protected areas awarded as sustainable destinations by the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas. The involvement of both local businesses and tourists is vital to the effective management of sustainable tourism, and social media is increasingly becoming a relevant tool to this task. Taking these considerations into account, this chapter has two goals: first is to examine the online activities performed by tourists in Facebook pages of local tourist businesses, aiming to enhance customer engagement with sustainable tourism; second is to perform a comparative analysis on the impact and degree of engagement achieved of firms from different Spanish regions. Findings will contribute significantly to our understanding of the influence of social media in fostering citizen engagement with sustainable tourism.
