OSMP Management Area Designations

Management Areas designated as: Habitat Conservation Areas (HCA), Natural Areas (NA), Passive Recreation Areas (PRA), or Agricultural Areas (AA) in the 2005 Visitor Master Plan (VMP). Continuously updated as plans are approved for newly acquired properties.Management areas awaiting Board of Trustees and City Council approval are noted with ' - Conditional' suffix. TBD is to be determined. From the VMP: "Management area designations define a management emphasis for different areas within the Open Space and Mountain Parks land system, based on a primary open space purpose (e.g., provision of quality passive recreational opportunities, preservation of agriculture, and protection and restoration of natural systems). The management designation defines suitable visitor activities in each type of area and under what conditions those activities can occur. The management designation also defines the management strategies needed to enhance visitor experience and ensure compatability of visitor activities with resource protetion. [...] The set of strategies applied in a given management area is based on the land characteristics (e.g., physical and ecological qualities, existing and anticipated visitor use patterns, existing and potential visitor infrastructure, and others) and the management needs that exist in that area."2005年《游客总体规划》（Visitor Master Plan, VMP）中划定的管理区域类型包括：栖息地保育区（Habitat Conservation Areas, HCA）、自然区域（Natural Areas, NA）、被动游憩区（Passive Recreation Areas, PRA）以及农业区域（Agricultural Areas, AA）。本数据集将随新收购地块的规划获批进度持续更新。待董事会与市议会审批的管理区域，将在名称后添加「- Conditional」后缀。「TBD」意为待确定事项。根据该总体规划，"管理区域的划定以核心开放空间目标为依据，为开放空间与山地公园土地系统内的不同区域明确管理侧重方向，例如提供优质的被动游憩机会、保护农业业态，以及保护与修复自然生态系统。此类管理划定明确了各类型区域内允许开展的游客活动，以及开展相关活动的前提条件；同时也明确了为优化游客体验、确保游客活动与资源保护相容所需的管理策略。[...] 特定管理区域所采用的整套管理策略，将基于该区域的土地特征（如物理与生态属性、现有及预期的游客使用模式、现有与潜在的游客基础设施等）以及该区域现存的管理需求制定。"
