Strategies:effectiveness

• Creation of national park managed car parking areas with parking charges: Prevents irresponsible parking and also raises money for upkeep or maintenance
• Restricted parking within Aviemore in residential areas to prevent tourists parking in areas of housing and around driveways: Prioritises locals’ cars and minimises impact for locals
• Education programmes for visitors such as signposting, leaflets and information centres to provide information and guidance: Provides information for visitors on the importance of keeping to paths, to cut down on soil erosion
• Properly maintained footpaths with arrows ensure tourists remain on route and do not disrupt the surrounding ecosystem by wandering off the path: Prevents erosion of areas with endangered species and reduces impact on the surrounding scenery. Also keeps tourists on specific paths so they do not destroy crops
• Farmers installing styles over fences reducing the need to climb: This provides an easy way over fences and walls for hikers meaning fences/walls don't get damaged and cost the farmer
• Camping restrictions on certain areas to stop impact on the environment: Tourists must camp in the allowed areas, meaning species and biodiversity are not harmed.
• Areas designated for shooting for individuals with permits keeping the majority of the landscape free from shooting activities: Preserves biodiversity and ensures safety of people using the landscape for activities such as hiking
• Installing spring back gates on fences where key footpaths pass through fields: Automatically closes gates meaning sheep do not escape
• Remove bins in areas where it is difficult to empty them: Prevents overflowing bins and encourages people to take their litter home or put it in a bin that has been placed in a spot that makes it easier to empty
• National park rangers can issue a fine if caught littering in national park: Forceful deterrent as a fine is not worth littering, however it is hard to catch people littering
• Dogs on lead signs: Reminds tourists that farm animals may be startled by dogs barking/behavior
• One way streets to improve traffic flow in busier areas, or encourage the use of public transport: Limited effectiveness as people prefer the convenience of their own vehicle because public transport is very limited to get into these rural areas
