The factors that lead contemporary tourists to visit such areas often remain unclear and inadequately connected to contemporary social science research. Therefore, we explore the profile and needs of urban visitors to the Pelister National Park in the Republic of Macedonia, with the aim of investigating the extent to which their motivation is driven by an intrinsic engagement with the natural features of the area itself, as opposed to a more superficial interest in its symbolic brand. The results of this paper, which lean towards the latter, emphasise the need for the development of an effective visitor management strategy as an integral part of the overall governance of national parksTa prispevek se ukvarja s tem, kako mestni prebivalci dojemajo upravljanje okolja in varovanje okolja v narodnih parkih, zlasti v Jugovzhodni Evropi, in kakšen odnos imajo do teh vprašanj. Dejavniki, ki sodobne turiste spodbujajo kobisku narodnih parkov, pogosto niso jasni. Sodobne družboslovne raziskave se jim ne posvečajo dovolj. Zato smo preučili profil in potrebe urbanih obiskovalcev narodnega parka Pelister v Republiki Makedoniji. Zanimalo nas je, v kolikšni meri je njihovo zanimanje za naravne značilnosti območja pristno oziroma površno in simbolno. Izsledki so pokazali, da je zanimanje urbanih obiskovalcev predvsem površno. To razkriva potrebo po razvoju učinkovite strategije za odnos do obiskovalcev, ki bo sestavni del splošnega upravljanja narodnih parkovTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUrbanistični inštitut Republike Slovenije
