Abstract

Wetlands provide extensive ecological services for life on Earth, but they are facing rapid global disappearance under the influence of human activities and climate change. Therefore, it is of great importance to ensure the wise use of wetlands. Local residents’ attitudes toward sustainable tourism in wetlands are essential to the sustainable management and wise use of this resource. This study examined the attitudes of local communities towards sustainable wetland tourism in three wetland areas in Northern Serbia. The survey was implemented to 1078 households randomly selected from seven communes (20 settlements) adjacent to chosen Ramsar sites. Using SPSS 25, the data was subsequently processed, assessed, and explained. In addition to descriptive statistics, a correlation was used to determine the factors that affect locals’ attitudes toward the development of sustainable wetland tourism. The study shows that local residents generally hold positive attitudes towards sustainable wetland tourism. Age, length of residency, gender, employment, education and income are observed to be significantly impacting attitudes toward sustainable wetland tourism. Although there is a high level of awareness of the risks to wetlands, there is doubt regarding their understanding of the state of wetlands’ protection and the particular issues they face. On the other hand, there is no doubt that locals are ready to protect wetlands for upcoming generations. For sustainable wetland tourism, management, and conservation, it is crucial to connect management organizations, tourism representatives, and people. In this matter, it is important to improve communication and connection between the mentioned stakeholders.

通过基于社区的可持续旅游业发展合理利用湿地
摘要 湿地为地球上的生命提供了广泛的生态服务,但在人类活动和气候变化的影响下,湿地正面临全球性的迅速消失。因此,确保湿地的合理利用至关重要。当地居民对湿地可持续旅游的态度对这一资源的可持续管理和合理利用至关重要。本研究考察了塞尔维亚北部三个湿地地区当地社区对可持续湿地旅游的态度。调查对象是从所选拉姆萨尔湿地附近的 7 个乡镇(20 个居民点)随机抽取的 1078 户家庭中进行的。随后使用 SPSS 25 对数据进行了处理、评估和解释。除描述性统计外,还使用了相关性来确定影响当地人对发展可持续湿地旅游态度的因素。研究表明,当地居民普遍对可持续湿地旅游持积极态度。据观察,年龄、居住时间、性别、就业、教育和收入对可持续湿地旅游的态度有显著影响。尽管当地居民对湿地面临的风险有较高的认识,但他们对湿地保护状况及其面临的特殊问题的理解存在疑问。另一方面,毫无疑问,当地人愿意为子孙后代保护湿地。为了实现可持续的湿地旅游、管理和保护,将管理组织、旅游代表和人们联系起来至关重要。为此,必须加强上述利益相关者之间的沟通和联系。

期刊介绍: Wetlands Ecology and Management is an international journal that publishes authoritative and original articles on topics relevant to freshwater, brackish and marine coastal wetland ecosystems. The Journal serves as a multi-disciplinary forum covering key issues in wetlands science, management, policy and economics. As such, Wetlands Ecology and Management aims to encourage the exchange of information between environmental managers, pure and applied scientists, and national and international authorities on wetlands policy and ecological economics.
