N2  - Although the National Parks Division of the Thai Royal  Forest Department have created over 63 national parks since 1962,  few national parks have a management plan t hat lead park manager  to achieve park objectives, mainly because parks l ac k baseline  dat a . However remote sensing and Geographic Information System  (GIS) application is appropriate for data collection a nd park  management .  Phu Rua Nation a l Park located in Loei Province in northeast  of Thailand was selected as a case study. Remote sensing ,  including La nd sat TM and aerial photograph, was employed to  collect up-to-date data of land- u se/land-cover, streams,  accessibility. In addition, image interpretation associated with  field observation was app lied to carry out soil mapping and  wildlife habitatmapping . GIS technique of ARC/INFO package was  used to evaluate the location of par k management zones. Five  zones, including a n Intensive Use Zone, an Outdoor Recreation  Zone, a Primitive Zone, a Strict Nature Reserve Zone, and a  Recovery Zone, based on the Thai Royal Forest Department 's  requirement are presented in this study. A park zoning mode l was  determined u sing the Linear Combination Method of multiple  criteria of eight bio- physical factors . Each factor was ranked  a nd weighted based on its suit ability for each zone .  The preliminary management zones map received from park  zoning mod e l a nd management priority as well as existing  facilities and recreation sites was not suitable to be  implemented in real situation . So this map was simplified again  according to experts, park official suggestions, and field check  in order t o get the the final management zones map. The  recommendation s of management program, including protection,  restoration of vegetation, interpretation/education program,  integrated park conservation with socio-economic development of  rural community , a nd administration as well as research and  monitoring, are also discussed in this research
