To accomplish this first, this study selected and made integrated management indicators considering physical, ecological, and socio-psychological carrying capacity in a national park. Second, this study built an integrated management indicator database and inputted this database in a geographic information system. Third, this study connected this system with a statistical analysis program for execution of various multivariate analysis and spatial analysis. Finally, WNPMS identified the relationship among visitors, natural resources, and recreation facilities in the national park and forecast the future management status of each national park in Korea.



The results of this study will contribute to prevent the damage of natural resources and facilities, improve visitors' satisfaction, prevent an excess of carrying capacity at national parks, and establish tailored management strategies for each national park.
