The increase in pilgrimage worldwide has generated many kinds of
environmental problems in pilgrim- towns. These include pressures
exerted by an increased and regular distribution of visitors and
urban growth driven by demands for supporting tourist
infrastructure. By employing Pressure-State- Response framework,
this book examines environmental issues in two popular pilgrimage
places in India: Tirumala-Tirupati with authoritative religious
institution, and Vrindavan that does not have a single strong
religious institution. A focus on 'response' mechanism of
institutions (government agencies, religious institutions, NGOs and
civil society) is necessary to develop a better approach to
environmental management. This book suggests developing a
comprehensive environmental policy for pilgrimage and strategies
for stakeholder participation in environmental management, and the
need to bring religious institutions as enterprises under
regulatory framework for environmental improvement. The book is
useful for government agencies, NGOs, environmental professionals,
and students interested in improving the environment of sacred
sites.
