This study evaluates the physical, social, and environmental carrying capacity of Taman Tasik Taiping using the Limit of Acceptable Change (LAC) framework. The research aims to identify key indicators influencing visitor experience and environmental sustainability and to establish acceptable thresholds of change for effective park management. Primary data were collected through structured visitor surveys, environmental condition assessments, and systematic site observations. The findings indicate that increasing visitor numbers affect ecological conditions, social comfort, and the performance of physical infrastructure. Several critical thresholds approaching the LAC were identified across different park zones. The study proposes management recommendations to support sustainable visitor use while safeguarding environmental quality at Taman Tasik Taiping.
