In the frame of the GEF Biodiversity Protection Project a part f the Tatra National Park − as one of the three target areas – has been studied according to the methodology of ecological carrying capacity. The methodology was elaborated at scale 1:25 000 that enables to keep the bases and procedures and to modify only some of them according to the particularities of the area. The aim of this methodology was to verify and establish the degrees of ecological carrying capacity in an ecologically sensitive high-mountain environment with strong impact of recreation on the landscape. The substance for landscape-ecological analysis involved analytical and synthetically bases from which ecological limits for selected types of land use were identified. The main output was determination of the degrees of landscape ecological carrying capacity with consequent measures classified into 5 classes: dominant protective function with selected recreation activities, protective-recreational function with possibilities of forest management, grassland-forest-recreational function, agricultural function with recreation activities and recreational function with socio-economic activities.
