| Summary: | Environmental education. It interpretation is a field of non-formal has evolved largely this century as an aid in visitor resource management and the conservation of places of natural or cultural interest. Interpretation establishes channels of communication between visitors and the agencies which manage these attractions. Through these contacts information can be presented to enhance the visitor experience. In addition messages can be conveyed to direct visitor impact or achieve other management objectives which require communication between the controlling authority and the visiting public. Interpretation today is recognised to be a blending of two streams of historical development (Aldridge, 1989; Phillips, 1989). The first emerged in the early years of the United States National Park Service (Tilden, 1977). It was here that information officers began to realise that their work called for much more than simply the provision of information on a particular area or deeper awareness; cultural/historical asset. A of caring and responsibility sense of for the resource, had to be engendered in visitors to ensure that the parks were utilised properly, as well as promote public support for their continued conservation. |
