Abstract The aim of the study was to determine actions towards enrichment of natural aspects of the water reservoir in Zaklików, with consideration of nature protection and social needs. For this purpose, physical and chemical parameters of the reservoir, floristic and physiognomic characteristics of the area, cartographic analysis of land use, natural and touristic valorisation, and the concept of tourism development of the area were considered. The reservoir, based on the ESMI index, rated as moderate ecological status. The highest natural and tourist values, as well as the highest intensity of conflict between them, were located in the north-eastern and central part of the study area. Based on all analyzes, a concept of development of the study area was created, consistent with the local development plan.

First Time

The distribution of protected plant species was analyzed on the basis of the landscape approach for the first time in the Maximov’s Dacha Nature Park (Sevastopol, Crimea). The territory of the Nature Park is characterized by high biological and landscape diversity. Thirty-eight species of vascular plants included in various Red Lists of Threatened Species and nature conservation conventions are registered in the Park. Five endemic species of Crimea are identified there. It is noted that the largest number of protected plant species belong to the families Orchidaceae, Poaceae, and Iridaceae. A landscape map was made at the level of terrain types. It is revealed that the modern landscapes of the Nature Park were formed under the influence of natural and anthropogenic processes. It is shown that the number and species composition of protected plants differ in the selected landscape complexes due to natural features and the degree of anthropogenic transformation. Description of the locations of protected plant species in the Maximov’s Dacha Nature Park enables providing long-term species observation in condition of nature protection regime. The obtained data can be used for optimization of environmental management and functional zoning of the Nature Park.

The Right

Based on comprehensive environmental monitoring, geobotanical, zoogeographical, landscape-ecological, hydro-ecological, forest-typological, agroecological principles and approaches and own field research, it is proposed to expand the area of the national natural park (NNP) «Karmelyukove Podillya» within Vinnytsia region. The general ecological and geographical characteristics of the park from the standpoint of physical-geographical and geobotanical zoning are given. It is shown which objects of the nature reserve fund (NRF) are parts of the park. The structural elements of the ecological network of the park have been identified (natural cores: 1 — Britavske; 2 — Chervonohreblyanske; 3 — Verbske; 4 — Bondurivske; 5 — Kurenivske; 6 — Novoukrainske; 7 — Lubomyrkivske as well as regenerative territories: 1 — Novoukrainska; 2 — Verbska; 3 — Stratiyivska; 4 — Bondurivska; 5 — Luzhska; 6 — Chervonohreblyanska), functional zoning of its territory was carried out, where representative and rare ecosystems are taken into account. The functional zoning of the NNP territory is shown, where typical, representative and rare ecosystems are taken into account. The necessity of changing the regime of the territory of the tract «Stratiyivska Dacha» in quarters 72, 74–75 on the area of 641 ha from the economic zone to the zone of regulated recreation is substantiated. The need to include in the park with the right of permanent use of the tract «Vyshenka», an area of 47.7 hectares, located within the Chechelnytsia village council as a holistic natural complex, represented by unique landscapes of different types of ecosystems, including forest, meadow-steppe and water-wamps. This area is characterized by 8 habitats with valuable associations of plant groups, which include 15 regionally rare species and 9 species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, home to more than 50 species of animals with international and national sozological status. In general, it is advisable to transfer other territories to the NNP for permanent use: ornithological reserve of local significance «Stavky» — 6.9 ha; lands of historical and cultural purpose — 17.3 hectares; forest reserve land — 7.7 hectares; agricultural land — 25.5 hectares; shrubs, reserve land — 7.3 hectares. The total area of these plots is 64.7 hectares, which together with the tract «Vyshenka» will be 112.4 hectares. The inclusion of these areas in the park will preserve representative landscapes with diverse flora and fauna, rational use of recreational potential, promote eco-tourism, sport hunting and fishing, introduce permanent nature education, conservation and environmental education, create new jobs for the population and will maintain the established regime of park protection and engage in organic farming. Currently, the park needs to conduct scientific activities, develop various types of ecological tourism — hiking, biking, equestrian, water, health, historical and cultural, to develop ecological and educational trails, and increase the ecological and educational level of the local population, in the economic zone to engage in organic farming. At present, this work should be aimed at reviving folk traditions in the field of nature protection and forming a caring attitude to the nature of the native land.

The European geoparks are new and effective instruments for the interpretation, protection and promotion of geological heritage aiming to a sustainable local development. Since 2000 the two Greek geoparks, the Lesvos Petrified Forest and the Psiloritis Natural Park have developed a great number of activities. Because of their differences, these two geoparks can be used as good examples to evaluate contribution of geoparks to local economy. In Psiloritis geopark operation is supported by the AKOMM –Psiloritis SA Development Company and significant funds have been raised for geo-protection and geo-tourism through European projects, a certain operational budget from local funds has been established and a new action plan has been developed under the forthcoming Leader+ project. In Lesvos Petrified Forest geopark operation is supported by the Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest which is responsible for research activities, protection and promotion of this protected natural monument. Main activities were funded by the North Aegean Regional Operational Framework as well as by INTERREG and LEADER initiatives to promote geoconservation, geotourism and local development. Furthermore, in both areas exchange of know how and best practices assisted local stakeholders and staff of local authorities to develop skills on the nature protection and promotion of geoheritage. Additionally, a great number of publications, environmental education programs and promotional activities contributed to the information and education of local communities, as well as of visitors on their geological and natural heritage. All the above mentioned activities have significant impact in local economy through the development of geotourism.

Seyahat acentelerinin web siteleri, acentelerin çevre konusundaki ilgi ve duyarlılığını yansıtan iletişim araçlarından birisidir. Bu çalışma, acentelerin web sitelerinde çevre ile ilgili anlatıların bulunup bulunmadığını incelemek, acentelerin çevreyle ilgili yönelimlerini tespit etmek ve bu yönelimin sürdürülebilirlik ve ekoturizm ilkeleri bağlamında değerlendirmesini yapmak üzere hazırlanmıştır. Analiz için gerekli verileri toplamak amacıyla, Türkiye Seyahat Acenteleri Birliği’nin (TÜRSAB) web sayfasında erişilen 5362 acenteden web sitesi olan 1382 acente seçilmiş ve bu acentelerin web sayfalarının içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Analizin ilk aşamasında, web sitelerinin sadece %2,7 gibi küçük bir kısmında, çevre ile ilgili anlatılar bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. İkinci aşamasında, sürdürülebilirlik ve ekoturizm bağlamında belirlenen 12 çevresel göstergenin web sayfalarındaki anlatılarda varlığı araştırılmış ve web sitelerinin %2,4’ünde çevre/doğa koruma kavramının geçtiği, bunu, sırasıyla, yöre halkına saygı, alternatif turizm, ekoturizm, sürdürülebilir turizmin takip ettiği görülmüştür. Doğa/çevre koruma, çevresel eğitim, yerel kalkınma ve katılımcılık, sürdürülebilir kullanım gibi göstergelerle ilgili anlatıların sürdürülebilir turizm ve ekoturizm ilkeleri ile bütünleştiği, ancak yetersiz olduğu saptanmıştır. Bulgular acentelerin sürdürülebilir turizm bağlamında faaliyetlerde bulunmaları ve çevreye verdikleri önemi ve çevresel faaliyetlerini acente web sitesi gibi önemli bir iletişim kanalında yansıtmaları gerektiğine işaret etmektedir ve sadece kendilerini değil aynı zamanda turistleri de çevresel bağlamda geliştirmeleri gerektiğini göstermektedir. An Evaluation of Environmental Concerns of Travel Agencies in Their Web Sites The travel agency web site is one of the means of communication that shows the nature of environmental sensitivity and concern of an agency. This study was designed to assess the existence of environmental narratives in the travel agency web sites and to determine the environmental orientations of the agencies and evaluate their orientation in terms of sustainability and ecotourism. 1382 agencies that have web sites were selected for the investigation. The necessary data was extracted from the agency websites and evaluated by means of content analysis. At the first stage of analysis, the study found that only 2.7 percent of agencies have some narrations about environment. At the second stage, it was found that only 2.4 percent mentions environmental/nature protection, followed respect to local people, alternative tourism, ecotourism and sustainable tourism. It was found that narrations about indicators such as Environmental/nature protection, environmental education, local development and participation are coupled with the sustainability and ecotourism principles, however they are insufficient. Findings indicate the necessity that the agencies should have environmental activities and reflect their environmental concern and activities in their web sites, and should develop themselves and tourists in terms of environmental context.

Functional Zones

The territory of the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain within Volgograd region, included in the natural park Volga-Akhtuba floodplain, has been subjected to anthropogenic impact for many years. Initially, in order to regulate economic activities, the natural park space was divided into three functional zones: environmental, recreational, and agricultural. In subsequent years, within the natural park Volga-Akhtuba floodplain, due to the increased anthropogenic load on the landscapes, it became necessary to adjust the spatial organization of areas with different purposes. In the actual version of functional zoning, five functional zones (agrarian landscapes, environmental, recreational, extensive nature management and buffer) are presented. In order to determine the transformation of the natural park Volga-Akhtuba floodplain spatial organization, changes in the functional zoning of this specially protected natural area during the period from the beginning of the 2000s to 2020 were revealed with the use of geoinformation systems. Most of the lands have not changed their legal status. The agricultural zone underwent the main transformation, most of which were transferred to the recreational zone. The territory of environmental zone that includes the most valuable natural complexes and objects has been squeezed out to territories that are less profitable for nature users. The lands of the Sredneakhtubinsky district are most exposed to anthropogenic impact, since this municipality includes significant areas occupied by zones of extensive nature management and agrarian landscapes, within which the most destructive nature management for ecosystems is carried out, while the ratio of nature protection spaces to the area of the municipality is the smallest. In the Svetloyarsk district, the ecological situation is the most favorable, since almost the entire territory is occupied by an environmental functional zone.
