Evolution, Characteristics and Inspirations of Management Zoning for National Parks in the United States by Zhenwei ZHANG, Hanyue XIAO, Yankang MAO

“…Additionally, the research uses the comparative method, institutional analysis method, and logical analysis method to analyze the features and characteristics of each historical stage.ResultsThe management zoning for national parks in the United States can be divided into five historical stages: Two-zone model, six-zone model, four-zone model, autonomous model, and no-zoning model. The development of the zoning system for national park management in the United States has a history of more than 80 years, which has experienced the goal shifting from “utilization − function” to “protection − control”, the concept shifting from “zoning by potentially conflicting human activities” to “multi-level zoning system based on management objectives”, and the form evolution from “unified formulation” to “decentralized autonomous formulation”. …”
