1 RESOURCE POTENTIAL AND CONSERVATION VALUES

2 Traditional Land Use and Occupancy Archeology, Rare Features, Historic Sites Wildlife Habitat Value 2/15

3 Conservation strategies Rare Features Development must avoid these areas Requirements for protection Evidence of past human use 3/15

5 5/15

6 Multiple Use Zones: all development uses permitted subject to general regulations Conservation Zones: no development permitted Uncertain Zones: conservation and development hold equal priority, no decision possible 6/15

8 Economic Assessment Model: generates direct, indirect and induced estimates reflecting the level of development in 5 key sectors for the following: 1. Gross Production 2. GDP or Value Added by Industry 3. Labour Income 4. Employment by Industry 5. Tax revenues to the Government and local organizations 6. Population and workforce 8/15

9  Must be compared with value of Resource Extraction  Additional Benefits: › Supports Individuals › Traditional and Subsistence Lifestyles; › Low Capital or Low Infrastructure › Self-employment Opportunities; › Promotes cultural sharing and can renew interest in cultural values and traditions › Must minimize Impacts on the natural environment; › Sustainable Industry not subject to the boom and bust like Resource Extraction Industries 9/15

10  Terms and conditions of development  Manage Potential Development Impacts Higher Lower Development Inward migration Development Gross Domestic Product Gross Expenditure Labor Demand Employment Opportunities Tax Revenue 10/15

11 Social and Cultural Values not reflected in the Economic Model Need to be considered in making tourism decisions Impacts may vary according to the pace and type of development Sustainability must be an integral part of economic planning Cumulative Effects must address social and cultural indicators 11/15

12 Cumulative Effects identify the overall impact of many developments together, over time Vision and priorities of resource deploymentCumulative Effects Indicators – characteristics: Physical-Chemical; Economic; Ecological; Land and Resource Use; and Social and culture Thresholds - define the point indicator changes to an unacceptable condition in zone; Levels of acceptable change Balance economic, human, ecological, social and cultural, environmental, and, heritage. Measure progress towards objectives 12/15

13  Proposed Indicators: › Physical/Chemical  Air Quality  Water Quality › Ecological  Habitat Availability  Specialized Habitat Features  Core Habitat  Fish Habitat 13/15

14  Proposed Indicators: › Ecology and environment  Total Disturbed Area  Significant and Environmental Features › Social  Significant Cultural Features  Community Population  Labor Participation  Revenue by Sector  Visual Quality 14/15
