Description This mixed research design study combines three different methods of corpus pattern analysis in order to comprehend the way in which the non-intervention principle towards ecosystems in core areas of Šumava National Park is utilized in legislation and parliamentary plenary debates. We summarize legislative proposals related to the Park, report on their legislative process and describe the evolution of wording and language nuances in different bills. This study also focuses on the content of the corpus of debates about Šumava National Park in the Chamber of Deputies between 1990 and 2013 and concludes that politicians use the situation in Šumava to support their political strategies, referring to the non-intervention principle only immanently. Analysis of these two datasets presents basic patterns related to the non-intervention principle. The study concludes that the scientific approach, reducing political influence on the territory gradually disappears from the content of parliamentary debates as well as from the mission statement of particular bills related to the Park.
