Problems and Possibilities for Sustainable Management of Protected Natural Areas, Case Study National Park Plitvice Lakes

Protected areas are extremely attractive tourist areas, all burdened with many negative influences which is largely due to human activities. Sustainability of natural protected areas is also largely dependent on the management of the area that if it is successfully directed and supervised can be implemented in the right way to conserve the underlying phenomenon (Alexander, 2008), which is the reason the area is protected, and can also have a positive impact on other dimensions of sustainability. Negative impact factors are specific to each area, and thus a model of sustainable management of natural protected area must be specific for each area (Blackstock et al., 2006) and be based on geographic particularities of space which is managed and associated with regional planning. Sustainability as a complex issue cannot be easily solved by focusing only on one of its dimensions (Hasna, 2012), but must incorporate ecological, economical and socio- cultural dimension, with all its sub dimensions.
