Environmental Management Challenges in the 21st Century: Assessment of Protected Areas Management Effectiveness in Slovakia

Original language description

The paper presents an assessment of current activities in the management of two Slovak National Parks in the context of sustainable development dimensions and principles and the life cycle of the fields of activity (FoAs). Our results show footprints of National Park (NP) Poloniny and NP Nízke Tatry (NAPANT) management from the holistic point of view of sustainable development in the 21st century. The assessment indicates that the sustainable development dimensions and principles have not yet been systematically integrated into the management of both evaluated Protected areas (PAs), and there is urgent need to increase the management complexity at FoA level, especially in the planning and networking phases, as an aggregate parameter of the new challenges and related requirements for planning, implementing and managing PAs in the new Millenium. Common features were identified in both evaluated PAs that appear to indicate the necessity for changes in the institutional set-up governing PA management which are, however, not within the power of individual park managers; all these features have, as a backdrop, a marked resistance to change in environmental policy at the national government level in the context of PA management. From the results, authors also draw the conclusion that Integrated Management of PAs (IPAM toolbox) promises to be a valuable instrument in the arsenal of the national institutions tasked with protected area management, enabling them to cope with and achieve satisfactory adaptation to the varying environmental and social factors which characterise the 21st century and thus reach their desired aim in terms of a more efficient and effective park management system.
