    Conservación y turismo en la Araucanía: evaluación de capacidad de carga en senderos de áreas protegidas
    (Universidad de Murcia: servicio de publicaciones, 2025) González Vásquez, Ricardo; Sin departamento asociado
    The study evaluates the carrying capacity of 68 trails in protected areas of the Araucanía, Chile, incorporating precise correction factors, the seasonality of visitor flows, and a new approach to management capacity (MC). The carrying capacity ranges from 4,870 daily visitors in summer to 1,350 in winter, revealing gaps primarily due to MC limitations. It is suggested to implement seasonal monitoring for continuous tracking and future research to adjust management strategies based on changes in ecosystems and visitation patterns
