Governance of recreation and tourism partnerships in parks and protected areas
本文用10项治理标准评估了公园与保护区中休闲旅游伙伴关系的8种常见管理模式,发现非营利组织参与度高的模式在良好治理方面排名更高,而营利性强的模式排名较低。
This paper uses 10 criteria for governance to evaluate the eight management models that most commonly underpin recreation and tourism partnerships in parks and protected areas. The varying financial status, political propensities and history in different countries have led to the development of different approaches to partnership management. When governance criteria were applied to the management models, those with high involvement by nonprofit organizations ranked higher in terms of the ideals of good governance. The highest ranked model was the public, nonprofit combination model. Conversely, those models with high degrees of for-profit operations ranked lower. The lowest ranked model was the aboriginal and government model. The analysis suggests that the 10 criteria for governance are not treated equally in practice; financial efficiency may be a pivotal criterion given more importance.
