Problem
• Building self-reliance of communities:– Poor economic situation of the area– The Park as a capital for development
• Nature/resources protection – common good
• Tourist infrastructure – public good
ESEE conference: Science and Governance. June 14-17, 2005, Lisbon6
Objective of the study

and informal)– The role of learning
(... to make a deal enhancing development.)

Nature protection side
• Legal framework: Nature Protection Plan – least possible participation – law of access to public information– „success story”
ESEE conference: Science and Governance. June 14-17, 2005, Lisbon9
Economic development
1. Individualistic type of actions (tourist industry and self-government) – market approach in regulated conditions
2. No institution involving all the actors (lack of horizontal co-ordination)
ESEE conference: Science and Governance. June 14-17, 2005, Lisbon10
Learning process• Concerning nature protection
– Participatory approach in Nature Protection Plan
– Soft enforcement of restrictions by Park’s Guard
• Concerning development - obstacles:– Economic fragility of the business keeps tourist
industry reluctant
– Privatisation approach of the Park
– Weakeness and division of self-governments
