It is an important approach to ensure a national park system construction by reducing disaster risks, as they may hinder the realisation of national park management objectives and achieving management effectiveness. This research proposed that a comprehensive disaster risk management is needed to secure stability and resilience of a national park as a social-ecological system during the process of the realisation of multiple management objectives of national parks. National parks have multiple management objectives including biodiversity and ecosystem integrity protection, environmental education, recreation, scientific research, etc. The diversity of management objectives determines that the all the elements of the social-ecological system, including species and ecosystems as the ecological components, tourists, local residents and managers as the human components, as well as buildings, roads and other infrastructures, can be subject to natural, man-made and secondary hazards. Furthermore, bearers of certain disasters can also become hazards to others under certain conditions. For example, wild animals can be a threat to visitors and local people while they may also be vulnerable to natural disasters. Thus, disaster risk management in national parks is comprehensive in that both hazards and the receptors have diverse types, are relative in status to be interchangeable in certain contexts. Therefore, an integration of natural disaster risk management, which is usually emphasized in disaster risk reduction of social-economic systems, and ecological risk management, which is frequently addressed in environment and ecosystem management, is necessary to embed disaster risk management to the overall national park management. To achieve this integration, this research first summarised characteristics and experiences of disaster risk management of multiple types of protected areas, such as nature reserves and scenic areas, both at home and abroad in general, and then analysed the role of disaster risk management in the implementation of national park management policy and management planning in particular. By matching the global experience to China national park management demand, this paper then provided three aspects of insight that disaster risk management needs 1) to be closely connected with macro management goals of national parks; 2) to focus on the maintenance of "desired state" of the social-ecological system; and 3) to have an integrated idea at spatiotemporal and operation level. A management framework was then proposed with three major features of 1) defining a hierarchical management goal; 2) applying social-ecosystem services as assessment endpoints to achieve a "desired state" in risk management; and 3) linking science-based evidence to value judgement in management for adaptive management.
