সারসংক্ষেপ	Doxey's Irritation Index, or Irridex, is a framework for understanding how a host community's attitude toward tourism changes as the destination grows. Proposed by George Doxey in 1975 as a causation theory of visitor-resident irritants, it holds that residents pass through four sequential states as tourist numbers and impacts intensify: euphoria, when tourism is new and welcomed; apathy, when it becomes routine and purely commercial; irritation, when saturation strains local life; and antagonism, when residents openly resent and blame tourists. The model's enduring appeal is that it frames resident hostility not as random but as the predictable end of an unmanaged growth process, and it pairs naturally with the Tourism Area Life Cycle to explain the social side of a destination's evolution and to warn managers to act before goodwill turns to antagonism.	The Limits of Acceptable Change (LAC) framework is a planning system for managing recreation and wilderness areas that shifts the central question from 'how much use is too much?' to 'how much change in conditions is acceptable, and where?' Developed by George Stankey and colleagues for the USDA Forest Service in 1985, LAC accepts that any human use produces some change and that managers must therefore define, in advance, the conditions they are willing to tolerate. The framework proceeds through a structured sequence: partition the area into opportunity classes, choose measurable indicators of resource and social conditions, set explicit standards for each indicator by class, monitor those indicators over time, and trigger management actions whenever a standard is exceeded. By anchoring decisions to desired conditions rather than to a single carrying-capacity number, LAC turns visitor management into a transparent, defensible, and monitorable process.
