What do they think of us? Effects of negative meta-stereotypes on hotel employees in China
Exploring restoration efforts from a social lens
Habitat restoration is an important tool for promoting the conservation and recovery of imperiled species and is motivated by both environmental and social factors. As new restoration efforts are considered, it is important to look back and see what can be learned from past efforts, including how restoration benefits are distributed across communities through an equity lens. Focusing primarily on the Puget Sound basin in the state of Washington, …
HIV Management Within Changing Social-Ecological Systems
Scales and sensitivities in climate vulnerability, displacement, and health
Artificial intelligence, systemic risks, and sustainability
Automated decision making and predictive analytics through artificial intelligence, in combination with rapid progress in technologies such as sensor technology and robotics are likely to change the way individuals, communities, governments and private actors perceive and respond to climate and ecological change. Methods based on various forms of artificial intelligence are already today being applied in a number of research fields related to cli…

Smallholders’ uneven capacities to adapt to climate change amid Africa’s ‘green revolution’
Development programs and policies can influence smallholder producers’ abilities to adapt to climate change. However, gaps remain in understanding how households’ adaptive capacities can become uneven. This paper investigates how development transitions—such as the recent adoption of ‘green revolution’ agricultural policies throughout sub-Saharan Africa—intersect with cross-scale social-environmental processes to unevenly shape smallholders’ adap…
Intra-Asian performing arts tourism – the motivations, intentions, and performance preferences of Japanese visitors
To provide an enhanced understanding of performing arts tourism in the Asian context, the present study investigates the motivations, intentions and performance preferences of a particular source market – Japan. Five primary motivations identified for this group when travelling to Korea to watch a theatre-based performance were: to relieve stress, to learn about Korean culture, to socialise, to enhance their life satisfaction, and curiosity. The …
Going global, acting local
In the growing field of volunteer tourism research, studies have investigated participant motivations and the benefits accruing to both travellers and the community, as well as undertaking critical assessments of the phenomenon. Comparatively little attention has been paid to changes associated with the post-volunteer period and particularly to the likelihood of volunteer tourists making contributions within their home communities. Using the Expe…
Livelihood Dynamics Across a Variable Flooding Regime
HIV as social and ecological experience
Accommodating the sharing revolution
In 2013, Daniel Guttentag in an article titled Airbnb: Disruptive innovation and the rise of an informal tourism accommodation sector has proposed the view that Airbnb properties compete directly with budget hotels because of their comparably low cost and the present paper assesses the applicability of this hypothesis in the Singapore context. Interviews were conducted with representatives from economy/mid-tier hotels and hostels which account fo…
Modeling Agricultural Potential Near the Ocampo Caves, Tamaulipas
The Ocampo Caves of Tamaulipas, Mexico are well-known for archaeological evidence of early domesticated plants and the development of prehistoric food production. Richard S. MacNeish's 1953–1954 investigations in Romero's, Valenzuela's, and Ojo de Agua Caves yielded important insights into local prehistoric societies, the adoption of domesticated plants, and the use of caves as temporary campsites. Our research approaches the broader context of l…

The Experiences of Chinese Tourism and Hospitality Postgraduate Students in Australia
Australia has attracted substantial Chinese enrolments into tourism and hospitality programmes. This qualitative study examines the experiences of Chinese postgraduate students undertaking a master's degree in tourism and hospitality within Australia. Chinese students enrolled in programmes at two major providers of tourism higher education participated in a series of focus groups and interviews. Respondents indicated that their unfamiliarity wit…
Coupling Community Heterogeneity and Perceptions of Conservation in Rural South Africa
Commercializing Conservation in South Africa
The field of development studies has produced a number of institutional ethnographies in recent years that evaluate the internal workings of development agencies such as the World Bank or grassroots social organizations. Although within the social sciences research on conservation often emphasizes the power of international conservation institutions, there have been few comparable studies assessing the internal workings of these organizations. In…

Managing urban tourism
A societal marketing approach to national tourism planning
A Profile of India's Hotel Sector
With close to a billion inhabitants, India is the world's second most populous country. Its fast growing middle class is estimated at between 200–250 million. Official reports indicate that the economy has been expanding by nearly 6 per cent per annum and the demand for both leisure and business related travel may be expected to increase accordingly. In 1991 the Union Government set aside decades of protectionism and restrictive practices in a bi…
