A multi-perspective approach to improve Romanian parks’ management plans

Abstract

This paper attempts to reveal and analyze several perspectives of national and natural parks in Romania, as key tools for the process of management planning. A proper evaluation of the national and natural parks involves a complex process, to which specialists from several domains should participate. The perspectives were identified based on the current and potential benefits of Romanian parks: environmental, social and economic benefits. Results reveal that a three perspective model would represent a valuable source of information for managers, among which special attention should be given to the economic side.
