These are distinctive areas and are heavily covered with trees hindering visual supervision. Monitoring of tourists and their safety by National park officers can be undertaken while making sure that they are exploring the designated areas and not entering prohibited areas. This is introduced by utilizing the design behind Location-Based Technology to use in tracking tourists roaming in various areas of the national park. The idea is that the tracking ability of any individual tourists can be executed and the park officers can monitor their activities and are able to receive any types of distress signals to be designed to be incorporated within the system. The uniqueness of this concept is the utilization of location based technology and a Geographic Information System to provide a transparently safe tourism tracking and monitoring system within the park area. The proposed concept of the system illustrates how national parks, as users, can utilize the concept to track tourists. The system would be especially designed to accommodate sustainable tourism and as the trend of ecotourism and the number of tourists is increasing, such a system should prove invaluable. The ability to send a distress signal and the ability to track individual tourists is an example of the fundamental concept of how the system can be utilized. The topic presented in this paper will fully explain the concept and include the theory of Location-Based Technology and the concept of tracking application, potential outcomes from the application and further design considerations as add-ons to the concept, scenarios of the application usage, and the technology requirements.Mahidol UniversityLocation-Based TrackingActivity MonitorRecreational Opportunity SpectrumRadio TelemetrySustainable Tourism ManagementCarrying Capacity ManagementProceeding Book
