Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to determine optimum management strategy for Küre Mountains National Park (KMNP) by turning out preferences of all interest groups (1-local villagers, 2- public institution representatives, 3- nongovernmental organization representatives 4- potential tourists) and providing their participation to the management process effectively. To realize this aim, it has been studied to develop a management model taking into consideration social and economic values as well as ecological values. In the study, the present situation of the national park was turned out by SWOT analysis, and some alternative management strategies (scenarios) for the national park were developed based on the findings in this stage. The four factors, which each has three sublevel such as managing type, entrance fee, sharing income and administrative structure, were taken into consideration while developing alternative management scenarios. The nine orthogonal alternative management strategies based on these factors and their sub-level were submitted to 462 interviewees selected by layer-random sampling method. The interviewees arranged these strategies according to their preferences. The preference results were evaluated by Conjoint analysis, and thus the optimum management strategy was determined for the national park such as a managing system with “the balance conservation use, taking 10 YTL entrance fee from visitors, sharing the 70% of income to the national park management and its 30% to local villagers, and administrating with the cooperation of state, nongovernmental organizations and local villagers”. Taking into consideration the optimum management strategy in the management plan of KMNP, which is though preparation, will help the plan to be applicable and dynamic structure, prevent conflicts among local villagers and the national park management, and thus, to contribute to sustainable management of the national park.
