Is This Park Too Busy? Multicultural Perspectives on Perceived Crowding in Parks and Protected Areas

British Columbia’s outstanding natural and cultural heritage offer a unique opportunity to residents as well as domestic and international visitors to engage in outdoor and backcountry recreation. The unleashed increase of overnight visits and day-use activities, however, jeopardize the quality of visitors’ experience, as well as the ecological and cultural integrity of the parks. This presentation showcases the application of different psychological carrying capacity analysis techniques in multicultural contexts.
