Tourism’s Driving Forces On Land Use Change In Phu Kradueng National Park, Thailand
In recent years, many national parks have faced tension caused by the rapid growth of nature-based tourism. Tourism has not only affected the national parks, but beyond the trans-boundary of the neighbouring land area, or it is known as the periprotected area. Although there has been a growing de...

| description |
In recent years, many national parks have faced tension caused by the rapid
growth of nature-based tourism. Tourism has not only affected the national parks, but
beyond the trans-boundary of the neighbouring land area, or it is known as the periprotected
area. Although there has been a growing demand for tourism in the
protected area, previous studies investigating the impacts of tourism’s driving forces
on this area are still limited and the term peri-protected area is seldom used. Thus, it
is crucial to further study on tourism’s driving forces and their impact on this special
area at the national park as well as surrounding local communities. The objectives
are to investigate land use patterns in the peri-protected area and the roles of the
impact of tourism’s driving forces on land use. A mixed methodology was used to
facilitate data collection and analysis. The quantitative approach used the GIS
program to analyse the land use pattern and land use change over the three periods of
the peri-protected area. The current research employed an online self-administered
questionnaire survey based on Dickman’s 5As of tourist destination concept to
collect data from 465 tourists and SPSS were employed to analyse the descriptive
statistics. For the qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted
with a total of 77 key informants representing different groups of people who were
associated with land use change in the peri-protected area. The findings revealed that
there was a gradual change in land use patterns based on the conservation and
tourism policy implementation in the Phu Kradueng National Park (PKNP) and land
use was classified into four zones. |
