Mapping of degree of hemerobie and planning for recreation for Siecino lake in the Drawskie Lanscape Park

Abstract

Nature tourism and outdoor recreation require intact natural environments and attractive rural or semi-natural landscapes. Appropriate areas are usually also of high value for nature conservation, since they host sensitive natural habitats and many endangered species. Thus, recreation activities cannot be realised at any place or time without causing conflicts with nature conservation. Nature sound planning for outdoor recreation shows, how to avoid negative impacts of recreation activities and infrastructure within the frame of a zoning system. In this respect, the paper demonstrates the importance and validity of a practicable mapping of recreation impacts and their assessment as degree of Hemerobie and illustrates it for the shoreline of Lake Sciecino in the Drawskie Landscape Park in Western Pomerania (Poland).
