Summary
The concept of “national park” originated in the United States. From the perspectives of conservation and utilization of nature and culture, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classified national parks as the second of six types of protected areas, which are defined as protected areas whose main purpose is to protect ecosystems and provide recreational services [1]. Public participation originated in the West in the 1960s, it is a social movement aimed at the process of government decision-making and planning [3]. L. Hou is a continuous and dynamic communication between the national park management department and the public on many levels in order to strengthen the public’s commitment to the protection of cultural and natural heritage resources, as well as to enhance the public’s understanding of the full significance of these resources. Through the process of public planning, interpretation and education programs, as well as direct maintenance of important resources, partners and communities can work together to protect those great historic heritages. Public participation has gradually become an important way to delimit stakeholder boundaries and realize adaptive management of protected areas [4]. 2.
