The term ecological carrying capacity of landscape is understood in this contribution as a synthetically comprehended special quality expressing the degree of tolerable (suitable) land-use. As bearably utilized can be described a territory on which the present utilization disturbs or destroys neither natural qualities, processes and relations among landscape elements (biotic, abiotic, socio-economical), nor the quality of vital environment. We applied this concept of ecological carrying capacity of a landscape to the evaluation of the ecological carrying capacity of the territory of the Tatra National Park and its protective belt. On the basis of a complex evaluation of ecological limits of the territory, we determined the set of variant unlimited activities forming the basis for the estimation of the degrees of ecological carrying capacity of the landscape. The three degrees singled out were characterized in more detail, with respect to the future landscape exploitation, and completed by measures intended to mitigate some negative processes in the landscape, to improve the functional land-use and the environment
