Alden (1973) stated that the resource management subsystem consists of two phases – resource input and the resource management programs aimed at managing those input (see Figure 1). Preserving resource excellence is important and is should be achieved by monitoring the effects of present custodial programs on the resource base at some established stage. In other words, maintaining impact in some acceptable level or getting better the resource’s capability to uphold an upper level of use within acceptable limits. Monitoring should be conducted at the line between the resource and human use. It indicates how good the existing programs are, and provides information about the way the stakeholders should conduct the programs within acceptable limits. In all resource management programs, preserving the resource might not be the only final objective, accomplishing some needed outcome, such as providing specified recreational opportunity, should be put into consideration.
Resource management programs consist of:
Site Management. This is an intense program to protect the site from any risk of overuse by the visitors and to provide pleasant and aesthetic surroundings for the activities.
Overstory Vegetation Management. This included silvicultural performance related to the management of the intensively used areas.
Ecosystems Management. It concentrates on particular disputable areas of management business related to the fragments of existing endangered ecosystems.
Visual Resource Management. It is a process where distinctive landscapes are listed, analyzed, classified and organized based on their availability to any low-visual-impact development.
