Abstract

Even though legally protected, many areas worldwide are under a certain level of human pressure. Significant for humanity for many reasons, mountain regions are also threatened because of different anthropogenic activities, especially the ones with developed winter tourism. There are four main ski resorts in Serbia (Kopaonik, Zlatibor, Stara Planina and Brezovica) and the strongest environmental impact is registered on Kopaonik Mountain. In this paper, we tried to answer if winter tourism could be sustainable in protected areas, especially on Kopaonik Mountain, which is recognized as the largest ski resort in Serbia and a natural protected area of the highest state level—a National Park. The main threats to the environment in Kopaonik National Park are logging, building and construction of ski slopes, urbanization, artificial snow use, illegal and unplanned building. Negative consequences of winter tourism development are land degradation, deforestation, loss and fragmentation of natural habitats, ecosystem disturbances, erosion, soil loss and pollution, water and air pollution, noise and light pollution. Harmonizing tourism development with conservation activities within natural protected areas is one of the main priorities of sustainable use of natural values and resources. For the successful and sustainable development of an area, it is necessary to conduct multidisciplinary planning, based on the results from the relevant scientific disciplines.

自然保护区的冬季旅游真的可持续吗?
尽管受到法律保护,但世界上许多地区都面临着一定程度的人为压力。对人类意义重大的原因有很多,山区也因不同的人为活动而受到威胁,特别是冬季旅游发达的山区。塞尔维亚有四个主要的滑雪胜地(科波奥尼克、兹拉蒂博尔、斯塔拉普莱尼纳和布雷佐维察),对环境影响最大的是科波奥尼克山。在本文中,我们试图回答冬季旅游是否可以在保护区可持续发展,特别是在科帕奥尼克山,这是公认的最大的滑雪胜地在塞尔维亚和国家最高级别的自然保护区-国家公园。对科帕奥尼克国家公园环境的主要威胁是伐木、滑雪场的建设、城市化、人工造雪、非法和无计划的建筑。冬季旅游发展的负面后果是土地退化、森林砍伐、自然栖息地丧失和破碎化、生态系统紊乱、侵蚀、土壤流失和污染、水和空气污染、噪音和光污染。协调旅游发展与自然保护区内的养护活动是可持续利用自然价值和资源的主要优先事项之一。为了一个地区的成功和可持续发展,有必要根据相关科学学科的成果进行多学科规划。
