游憩容納量爲一具有理論基礎，可管制道客的策略。由於其所涵蓋的生態、實質、設施、社會容納量各有不同參數，供做評估之用，使得容納量的決定十分困難。再加上游憩區環境特性不同，環境會隨時改變，經營目標和遊客特性變異極大，更使容納量的決定成爲一項桃戰。即使在決定容納量後，仍需注意其不是一個因定值，而且有了容納量不一定能使管理工作更容易進行。如果遊憩區超過了容納量則可用分散使用、限制使用、解說教育、關閉使用等手段來加以控制。最後以福山植物園爲例，說明其利用遊憩容納量的觀念，執行道客管制的策略及沿革，並檢討其實施的成效。

Recreational carrying capacity (RCC) has been developed into a reference regulating activities and impacts of park visitors. The assessment of RCC, however, becomes quite difficult when the various parameters, related to ecological, physical, facility and social carrying capacity, are included in the processes. It should be noted that the RCC of a given site is not a constant, it varies with the environmental settings of the sites to be managed. And, because of the variability of their environmental settings, the management goals as well as visitors' preference of recreational sites will vary widely. This makes the assessment of the RCC of a given site a real challenge Even when the RCC is given, the management of a site may not easily be carried out. If the RCC potentially excess certain threshold, the managemental measures (such as diverse land uses, limitation uses, field interpretation service and the closure of certain areas) can be taken to prevent further degradation of recreational qualities. This paper, using Fushan Botanical Garden as a case study, addresses the application of the concept and its effectiveness, with special concern on the evolution of strategies regulating visitors.
