Scalar politics of Indigenous waterscapes in Navajo Nation and Nepal
We use case studies of the Diné in the United States of America, and the Musahar people in Nepal, to understand how indigeneity is enacted in relation to the developmental and conservationist impulses of the dominant American and Nepalese states. We mobilize the concept of 'waterscapes' as assemblages of practices, technologies, emotions and worldviews, to unpack how geographical scales are produced and contested through symbolic and material pra…
Tourism and ecological restoration across borders
This study uses political ecology and social and environmental justice frameworks to examine stakeholder attitudes towards tourism development and ecological restoration in a cross-border context. The purpose of this paper is to develop conceptual frameworks for understanding stakeholder attitudes towards cross-border tourism and ecological restoration that occur in the context of uneven power relations. Data were collected through personal obser…

To collect data, we held a scenario planning session in June 2020 with 24 participants representing various stakeholder groups, such as public land management agencies, tourism businesses,…
Comparison between millennials’ and providers’ perceptions of technology use in a nature-based tourism context
This mixed-methods study examined millennials’ and nature-based tourism providers’ perceptions of the use of technology in a nature-based tourism context. The data were collected through surveys and focus groups of millennials and nature-based tourism providers. Survey findings revealed that millennials perceived a number of technologies more negatively than providers, challenging common stereotypes. Focus group responses further demonstrated pro…
Theorizing and contextualizing protected areas, tourism and community livelihoods linkages
Although efforts have been made to connect the conservation of protected areas (PAs) to the livelihoods of people living in adjacent localities through sustainable tourism development, the debate is still evolving and inconclusive. This special issue contributes to the discourse by endeavouring to advance discussions on relationships that exist between protected areas, tourism and community livelihoods. This paper synthesizes accomplishments and …
Connecting landscape-scale ecological restoration and tourism
This grounded theory research seeks to understand stakeholder attitudes towards tourism development and ecological restoration around a landscape-scale ecological restoration project in Montana, USA. Due to the limited number of landscape-scale ecological restoration projects across the globe, research on stakeholder attitudes and the relationship of tourism with such projects is missing. Only recently have researchers begun to take an interest i…
Governance of protected areas
Protected areas are managed for multiple, often competing, goals including biodiversity conservation, community livelihoods, and tourism. However, there is a lack of clear evidence on which governance approaches are more effective in governing protected areas to achieve these goals. This paper sheds light on the effectiveness of different protected area governance approaches using Ostrom’s Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework. T…
Toward a resilient organization
The concept of resilience is complex, and research on what contributes to public sector organizational resilience outcomes and how to effectively model resilient organization is still in its infancy. The purpose of this study is to apply the Employee–Organization Relationship (E-O-R) framework to understand the relationship between employees’ skillsets, organizational traits and organizational resilience. Data for this study was obtained from a s…

Perceptions of trekking tourism and social and environmental change in Nepal's Himalayas
The Himalayas are among the world's youngest mountain ranges. In addition to the geologic processes of mountain building and erosion, they are also highly vulnerable to human influenced change, occurring at local, national, regional, and international scales. A photo-elicitation methodology is employed to show how residents perceive those changes from historical perspectives, as well as their current conditions and impacts on their daily lives. N…

Exploring the Nature of Tourism and Quality of Life Perceptions among Residents
Research on resident attitudes toward tourism has been under way for many years. Implicit in this research is the precept that tourism influences people’s quality of life (QOL). Few studies, however, have directly investigated residents’ perception of the impact tourism has on their QOL, and relationships between QOL perceptions and support for tourism in the community. This study is an attempt to go beyond attitude research and explicitly consid…
