  1. DETERMINING CRITICAL MANAGEMENT AREAS IN NATURAL PARKS METHODOLOGY lj_garcia@yahoo.com gbravo@uniandes.edu.co Computer Science, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia

  2. ¿HOW TO HANDLE WITH PROBLEMS INTO A NATURAL PARK? • This methodology helps you to gather data, alphanumeric and geographic, in order to identify critical management areas in your park. • It helps you to know what and where problems are and to handle with them, giving you information to make better decisions Determining Critical Management Area s in Natural Parks lj_garcia@yahoo.com, gbravo@uniandes.edu.co

  3. Methodology Flow Determining Critical Management Area s in Natural Parks lj_garcia@yahoo.com, gbravo@uniandes.edu.co

  4. Environment Knowledge • Identify management and preservation problems • Identify and associate variables related with each problem • Tips to identify variables: Think about kind of variables (General –roads, topography, etc.-, vegetation, natural disasters, social and economic situation and public order) Determining Critical Management Area s in Natural Parks lj_garcia@yahoo.com, gbravo@uniandes.edu.co

  5. Problems Ranking and Variables Selection • Recognize more relevant problems • Select variables related with those problems • Check selected variables are suitable for analysis • Is there enough, current, historical and accurate information? • Is there geographic information about problems and variables? Can it be represented as polygons? Determining Critical Management Area s in Natural Parks lj_garcia@yahoo.com, gbravo@uniandes.edu.co

  6. Variables Ranking • Detect variables determining problems • Find variables acting as catalysts • Distinguish variables giving general information Determining Critical Management Area s in Natural Parks lj_garcia@yahoo.com, gbravo@uniandes.edu.co

  7. Variables Critical Level – Qualitative Model • Define when level is high, medium or low for each determinant variable Determining Critical Management Area s in Natural Parks lj_garcia@yahoo.com, gbravo@uniandes.edu.co

  8. Variables Overlapping • Determine what happens when 2 or more variables are at same time and at same place • Which variable gets the situation worse? • Which one attenuate problems? • What is the effect of catalyst variables?

  9. 2 Variables Overlay Model and Generalization • Generalization: Overlaying 3 variables is the result between 1 variable and 2 variables overlaid; overlaying 4 variables is the result between 2 variables overlaid and other 2 variables overlaid and so.

  10. Overview (1) • Step 1: 2 Determinant variables Determining Critical Management Area s in Natural Parks lj_garcia@yahoo.com, gbravo@uniandes.edu.co

  11. Step 2: Catalyst Step 3: Overlay Overview (2) Determining Critical Management Area s in Natural Parks lj_garcia@yahoo.com, gbravo@uniandes.edu.co

  12. Conclusions • This methodology is very helpful to handle problems related with management and preservation in natural parks. • Problem, variable and overlaying tables represent park and environment knowledge and are very meaningful to make better decisions. It is also useful to share and delegate responsibilities. • Methodology can be used as a simulation tool, changing variables roles. In that way, it is possible to find out what happens when catalyst, determinant and informative variables change. • It is still necessary to develop a tool which implements this methodology and to handle issues such as compatibilities among coverages -point, line and polygons- and to support overlaying variable model.
