Postoje rezidentů k dopadům turismu v okolí Lysé hory

Lysá hora and its surrounding municipalities are facing negative impacts of tourism related to high visitor numbers. The summit of Lysá hora is visited by approximately 400,000 visitors annually. Local residents encounter several issues, particularly increased traffic congestion, a lack of parking spaces, and disruption of the area’s peaceful character. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate residents’ perceptions of the positive and negative impacts of tourism in selected municipalities surrounding Lysá hora and based on the identified attitudes, to propose recommendations for sustainable tourism management in this area. The theoretical part of the thesis employs a literature review, which is essential for understanding the practical section of the study. In the research focusing on local residents’ attitudes, a quantitative method in the form of a questionnaire survey was used, targeting residents of municipalities around Lysá hora. These were primarily municipalities affected by tourism related to Lysá hora. The results indicate that residents perceive the impacts differently depending on their nature and various factors influencing their attitudes. Residents highlight the attractiveness of the region as one of the most significant benefits of tourism, while considering traffic congestion the most prominent negative impact. Overall, residents perceive negative impacts more strongly than positive impacts. Finally, recommendations for sustainable tourism management were formulated in accordance with the theoretical framework and the analytical section of the thesis.
