IT in hunting sector – selected aspects

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to characterize and analyse the role of IT in hunting management in the light of sustainable biodiversity. The work encompasses the analysis of national and international literature on up-to-date environmental conditions and the model of sustainable hunting as well as its impact on preserving biodiversity in a given territory. Taking all that into account, it seems justified to apply IT in hunting (the author illustrates it with examples of applying IT solutions in practice). The research methods include the analysis of pertinent literature and the case study. The research hypothesis is put forward that “the application of IT in hunting management affects the efficiency of biodiversity preservation”. As a result of the analysis of literature and the case study the hypothesis has been verified in respect to some selected aspects of efficiently carried out hunting activities. The work, based on the analysis of selected literature, is a preliminary study of the issue in question. It takes into account only some practical aspects which on the one hand enable the verification of the hypothesis and on the other hand enable to make some generalizations about the whole hunting sector. Consequently, the study should be continued in order to analyse the whole hunting sector and the impact of IT on it.
