DIFFERENTIATING LOCAL RECREATIONAL POLICIES IN THE ECOSYSTEM APPROACH FRAMEWORK
Abstract: This paper presents some approaches to develop national and local policy of recreational natural resources use based on zonal recreational capacity, demographic properties and economic peculiarities of different areas, including mountains. Ecosystem approach is applied for the differentiation. Recreational natural resources management is the component of national policy of natural resources use. The recreational natural resources management is broader term than the recreational industry management, since the first one includes protection and restoration of the resources. The multiplicative economic effect and joint use of recreational resources with other users are key features of the industry. Significant discrepancy between the scope of available recreational resources and efficiency of their use are inherent for all Ukraine’s regions.
The multilevel algorithm of the recreational resources and industry classification of areas is developed. The algorithm concludes with several policy models of the recreational natural resources use and management taking into account types of settlements (urban, rural, and intermediate), proximity of settlements to urban centres (urbanized and peripheral), recreational capacity of areas (high, medium, and low), and economic efficiency of the local recreational industry (efficient, moderately efficient, and inefficient). Accordingly, the three types of communities’ development strategy have been identified like the recreational centre, dominant recreational industry, and recreations for locals. The novelty of this research consists in representation of approaches depicting the structure and assessing the capacity of local recreational recourses and the industry. Consequently, the multilevel algorithm classifying areas by recreational capacities and capabilities assist to define models of the local policies.

Key words: recreational resources; recreation-and-tourism industry; recreational capacity; ecosystem approach; algorithm.
