Whether conscious or unconscious, positive discrimination in the protection and care of recreationally or otherwise socially privileged (e.g., institutionalized nature conservation) localities and species or their habitats at the expense of excluded, unattractive localities is a little-discussed but binding societal problem. This problem is gaining importance, especially in the context of the constantly increasing requirements for the quality of recreational experiences, as well as in the context of selecting and defining protected areas with lower levels of protection or those protected only by general nature conservation. The value of qualitative perception is influenced mainly by the scale (knowledge) and perception of an object whose perceptual quality is considered low for any reason. The article explores the concept of incorporating so-called recreationally repellent localities into the recreational perceptions and actions of society, aiming to maintain a balanced perspective on both recreational and general landscapes.
