The objectives of this four year Foundation for Research Science and Technology (FRST) funded research programme are to –

• evaluate existing approaches to planning and managing visitor related developments in natural areas,

• define an integrated model for application in multi-stakeholder management contexts,

• pilot, evaluate and refine that model for specific cases, and

• develop an approach for integrating ecological, economic, social and cultural (including Maori) factors in the planning and management of natural areas for tourism and other uses.

The programme will provide direction for integration of the above components of sustainability, as well as the recognition of a finite capacity for some activities at some sites; the sometimes competing requirements of tourism and recreation activities, and cultural and amenity values, for all sectors of society; and the need to monitor progress towards sustainability.
