The Šumava National Park created in 1991 includes the central part of the mountain range along the border with Germany, and partly also with Austria. The area includes seven villages (Srní, Kvilda, Horská Kvilda, Modrava, Stožec, České Žleby and Prášily), as well as several smaller settlements (Filipova Huť, Dobrá, Jelení).

Inhabitants of the Prášily village rely on tourism bussinesses; however, they have very diverse attitudes for tourism development (see the [[Attitudes of Prášily inhabitants|results of preliminary research]]). To investigate potential for and criteria of sustainable tourism in this area, consequent research more specifically addressed sustainable tourism indicators.
== Sustainable tourism indicators in the region ==
In contrast to the indicators usually ([http://www.npsumava.cz/gallery/21/6430-sg_18_1_gornercihar.pdf Görner, Čihař, 2012]), qualitative indicators based on criteria of sustainable tourism (see ([http://www.tourism4nature.org/results/backdocs/Criteria%20for%20Sustainable%20Tourism.pdf Ecological Tourism in Europe and UNESCO MaB, 2007])) were developed through the participatory processess.These indocators specifically concentrate on the needs and specifics of the region and its inhabitants.
