在开放的（可进入的）自然保护区中，必须在社会利益最大化和生态干扰最小化之间找到平衡。由于干扰的可能性随着访问密度和频率的增加而增加，一些自然保护区往往会失去其特定的质量。本研究的目的，集中在'Demerbroeken'，45公里以东的布鲁塞尔在比利时中部，是估计的概率在任何位置的自然保护区在特定的时间和地形条件下，通过基于GIS的摩擦模型的偏离轨道的访问。研究的基础上进行了详细的土地调查，采访游客，性能的步行实验和确定的摩擦值的特定地形单元。访谈和步行实验的数据收集，以验证模型。这项研究的结果可能有助于设计影响评估和管理工具。(C)2004 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Equilibrium has to be found between maximizing social profit and minimizing ecological disturbance in open (accessible) nature reserves. Because the probability of disturbance grows with increasing visit density and frequency, some nature reserves tend to lose their specific quality. The aim of this study, concentrated on the 'Demerbroeken', 45 km east of Brussels in central Belgium, is to estimate the probability of off-track visits in any location of the nature reserve at specific times and terrain conditions, by means of a GIS-based friction model. Research was based on a detailed land survey, interviews with visitors, performance of walking experiments and determination of friction values of specific terrain units. Data from interviews and walking experiments were collected to validate the model. The output from this study is of potential help to design an impact assessment and management tool.
