description The thesis takes a human perspective of stakeholders on issues related to protected area management and presents a communicative model to manage conflicts and create consensus. The literature research explores techniques in conflict management and a survey is used to evaluate the opinion of stakeholder concerning the themes of conflict, communication, and consensus. The survey focuses on the Daisetsuzan National Park in Japan and the Vatnajökull National Park in Iceland with the aim to formulate a suited conflict management approach that can be used in protected area management in general. The findings suggest that despite difference in cultures a communicative approach to conflicts in protected area management may support forming consensus regarding the issues at stake. Ritgerðin skoðar hug hagsmunaaðila á álitaefnum sem snerta vernduð landsvæði og kynnir samskiptaaðferð til að takast á við ágreining og skapa samstöðu innan slíkra svæða. Rýnt er í efni um ágreinings- og deilustjórnun og spurningakönnun er notuð til að meta hug hagsmunaaðila varðandi deilur, samskipti og samstöðu. Spurningakönnunin var lögð fyrir hagsmunaaðila í Daisetsuzan þjóðgarðinum í Japan og hagsmunaaðila í Vatnajökulsþjóðgarði á Íslandi með það að markmiði að hanna deilustjórnunaraðferð sem mætti nota við stjórnun verndaðra landsvæða. Niðurstöðurnar benda til þess að þrátt fyrir ólíka menningu í Japan og á Íslandi að þá sé samskiptaleiðin líkleg til árangurs ef takast þarf á við ágreining og tryggja samstöðu hagsmunaðila í stjórnun þjóðgarða.
