  • Community-as-pedagogy

    Samantha T Selby, Austin Cruz et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Education Research2020Citada por: 2Referencias: 13

    This mixed-methods study examines an informal place- and community-based environmental education program implemented for rural, underserved high school students in Costa Rica’s bio-culturally diverse Osa Peninsula. Using a community-as-pedagogy framework built on Paulo Freire’s concept of a problem-posing education, we investigate how pedagogically-positioned social relationships mediate students’ knowledge, perceptions, and leadership. We find l…

  • Place-based education for environmental behavior

    Austin Cruz, Austin R Cruz et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Education Research2017Citada por: 4Referencias: 30

    In this paper we suggest that a new theoretical framework is needed within environmental education in the discussion of rural, underserved communities in Latin America. We argue that a community-resources approach, comprised of funds of knowledge and social capital, should be incorporated into contemporary research on place- and community-based education and environmental behavior. The model we present builds upon previous research in the areas o…

  • Can ecotourism deliver real economic, social, and environmental benefits? A study of the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica

    Carter A Hunt, Carter Hunt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Sustainable Tourism2015

    Doubt persists about ecotourism's ability to make tangible contributions to conservation and deliver benefits for host communities. This work in Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula tests the hypothesis that ecotourism in this region is more effective at improving well-being for local residents, at enhancing their access to key resources and information, and at supporting biodiversity conservation than other locally available economic sectors. Data from 12…

  • Nature-based tourism's impact on environmental knowledge, attitudes, and behavior

    Nicole M Ardoin, Mele Wheaton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Sustainable Tourism2015

    Although nature-based tourism is often promoted as benefiting local destinations through income generation, employment, and direct conservation support, it is also believed to influence tourists’ environmentally friendly attitudes, knowledge, and ultimately their behavior. Yet, few studies have empirically documented these outcomes, and those that do are inconsistent in the variables measured and the time frame analyzed. This paper examines the e…

  • Social Capital in Development

    Carter A Hunt, Carter Hunt et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization2015

    Limited social capital poses a critical bottleneck for sustainable rural development. Despite vast investment, development interventions focused on preserving the biodiversity of the Osa and Golfito region of Costa Rica have done little to address poverty or improve the well-being of local residents. The authors of the current study draw upon field research and data gathered from semi-structured interviews with 310 community leaders and rural res…

  • Shrouded in a fetishistic mist

    Carter A Hunt, Carter Hunt et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Tourism…2012

    In this paper we first provide a theoretical argument of commodity fetishism of sustainability in tourism, with a focus on the emergence of certification for sustainability as a means of elucidating the means of production of tourism in destinations and distinguishing responsible forms of tourism from more exploitive counterparts. We then look specifically at Costa Rica and its widely-respected Certificate for Sustainable Tourism Programme (CST) …

  • Anthropology and Environmental Policy

    Open AccessSusan Charnley, W H DurhamARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist2010Citada por: 9Referencias: 34

    In this article, we call for enhanced quantitative and environmental analysis in the work of environmental anthropologists who wish to influence policy. Using a database of 77 leading monographs published between 1967 and 2006, 147 articles by the same authors, and a separate sample of 137 articles from the journal Human Organization, we document a sharp decline over the last ten years in the collection and use of quantitative and environmental d…

  • Ecotourism and conservation in the Americas

    A Stronza, W H DurhamBOOKEcotourism at work in the Americas2008

    has been credited with conserving biological and cultural diversity, alleviating rural poverty, increasing public awareness of environmental concerns and strengthening ties between tourism operators and local populations. For these reasons, ecotourism has grown in popularity with tourists as well as governmental development agencies and conservation organizations. Over twenty years after its inception, it now needs to be asked: Does ecotourism me…
