The Land of Deodacy Manage several natural sites with large numbers of visitors, some of which are particularly fragile. The installation of five Kiomda counting boxes Allows you to monitor the evolution of attendance and assess the pressure exerted by visitors on these sensitive environments.
“Our counters allow us to estimate the number of visitors to five natural tourist sites and to measure the pressure they are under due to the numerous visitors.”
This follow-up is essential to adapt site management and anticipate possible developments in order to reconcile tourist attractiveness and the preservation of natural areas.
Les The data collected is mainly intended for elected officials and are exploited in the form of reports and presentations. The team uses Exporting figures in Excel format, allowing a in-depth analysis before integration into decision support.
“The data is exported to Excel, then reworked before being integrated into presentations for elected officials.”
This monitoring and interpretation work makes it possible toguide decisions on the development and protection of sites.
Counting offers a quantitative arbitration basis, which allowsadjust natural site management plans according to real uses.
A striking example is the Site de la Cascade, where the figures collected highlighted an annual attendance of 230,000 visitors. This volume, very high for a small site, led to the consideration new arrangements to better manage this influx and limit the impact on the environment.
“We have been able to measure that the fragile Cascade site receives 230,000 visitors per year, which is a lot for such a small site and requires improvements.”
A need for improvement has been identified concerning detecting meter malfunctions. Currently, if an outage occurs and the numbers are not monitored on a daily basis, the problem may go unnoticed for several days, resulting in data loss.
“An automatic alert system when a meter stops working would be welcome. We had a meter that had taken in too much humidity and we didn't notice it until several days later.”
The establishment of such a device could allow a increased reactivity And a better reliability of the data collected.
Thanks to Kiomda counters, the Land of Deodacy has a detailed vision of the number of visitors to its natural sites, facilitating decision-making for their management, their preservation and the optimization of tourist facilities.
