This paper deals with the problem of multi-criteria evaluation of four
   management strategies for Fruska Gora National Park. The criteria set was
   defined in ac?cordance with the IUCN guidelines for management of national
   parks. Four strategies were evaluated by testing preference intensities for
   each alternative with the respect to each cri?terion. Alternatives with
   preference above the approval threshold were approved, and a multi-criteria
   approval matrix was generated. According to the matrix, the most suitable
   management strategy was identified. It implies an intense protection of
   natural resources and landscape diversity in the national park by applying
   bio-engineering measures. This illustrative example proved that
   multi-criteria approval can be considered as a good deci?sion support tool
   when there is no need for a deeper insight into cardinal values of criteria
   weights and alternatives, or if the decision maker has to select few from
   many of alterna?tives to reduce the decision problem. For a more precise
   analysis, it is recommended to combine multi-criteria approval with other
   decision support tools, and future studies might deal with this problem in
   order to define an alternative framework for decision making in landscape
   management.</jats:p
