Mountain Research and Development <Berkeley>, 16(1): p 1-16 [Paper presented at the International Geographical Union Symposium on Mountain Geoecology and Sustainable Development held August 1994, Freiburg, Germany]
By international standards, national parks are natural areas where ecosystems, for the most part, have not been substantially modified by human activity, and which have been set aside to protect and preserve the features of the landscape. In Austria the Hohe Tauern National Park represents a high mountain area which combines a diversified alpine landscape and ecosystem with the century old traditions of local population. Based on initiatives beginning in 1971 to establish the Hohe Tauern National Park, between 1983 and 1991 the Lander of Carinthia, Salzburg, and Tyrol worked together and gradually enlarged the Park to a non contiguous area of 1,800 km 2 which includes a total of 29 communities. In an attempt to conserve nature, preserve traditional living space, and promote tourism, the National Park area was subdivided into a high alpine core zone of largely unspoiled nature and an outer zone which includes landscapes modified by human impact. Zoning has been introduced to foster interrelationships and interaction between wilderness areas and adjacent semi natural cultural landscapes. The fifteen year old history of the Park has been marked by a series of diverse goals and potential land use conflicts which required the active involvement of the local population into the planning process of the National Park. This partnership approach, which resulted in a so called 'eco realism' compromise, has reversed the initial widespread rejection of the park concept and won the approval of the local population.
