The conflict between economic development and conservation of biodiversity in the Bohemian Forest (model areas: Lipno nad Vltavou and Kovářov)
FLEISCHMANNOVÁ, Iveta
The conflict between economic development and conservation of biodiversity of the Bohemian Forest area is researched within this thesis. The literature devoted to this topic was reviewed and bio-indicators were evaluated to assess the effect of the tourism industry on biodiversity. Tourism is the main source of economic development in the area. The original study was performed in two model areas located near the Bohemian Forest National Park. The model area Lipno nad Vltavou is a heavily used tourist zone, visited by a wide spectra of tourists. The model area Kovářov differs as it currently experiences lower tourist numbers. Transformation of Kovářov into a large tourist centre is expected in the near future. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of tourism on biodiversity and to assess the options for sustainable development. This study concludes that anthropogenic activities have been found to have a negative effect on biodiversity in both model areas and future sustainable development is conditional on correct management as evidenced by the biological and socio-economic research presented here.
