State Environmental Impact Management in Ecological Tourism Development

Abstract

This paper aims to enhance the formulation and execution of state-level managerial decisions pertaining to the development of ecotourism, within an environmental protection framework. It posits that in the context of ensuring environmental safety and effective regulatory support for natural resources utilization, state-level management is pivotal. The country's natural environment system serves as the study's object. The research task involves modeling the decision-making and implementation process, particularly those with direct environmental impact geared towards ecotourism development. Utilizing Data Flow Diagram (DFD) methodology, a state management model for environmental impact in the ecotourism development system was developed. Within this model, key factors influencing ecotourism development were identified, and the essential steps and elements to enhance the efficiency of decision-making and implementation in the state management system were established. The chosen methodology effectively demonstrates the information and functional content of the decision-making and implementation processes. The study's novelty lies in the application of a novel modeling method to improve process execution. Limitations exist, as the model was developed considering only the environmental realities of one country, namely Poland. The model's effectiveness in other countries requires modifications in line with dominant local factors. Future work plans to develop similar models for European Union neighboring countries, such as the Czech Republic and Romania, to ensure effective European environmental regulation in the ecotourism development system.
