As many countries do not adhere to the IUCN definition, the term "national park" may be used loosely. [[National parks of the United Kingdom|In the United Kingdom]], and in some other countries such as [[Taiwan]], a "national park" simply describes a general area that is relatively undeveloped, scenic, and attracts tourists, with some form of planning restrictions to ensure it maintains those characteristics. There may be substantial human settlements within the bounds of a national park. 

Conversely, parks that meet the criteria may be not be referred to as "national parks". Terms like "preserve" or "reserve" may be used instead.
