China’s quasi-national parks as a social-psychological turning point
China’s quasi-national parks represent an intermediate stage in the nation’s transition toward integrated conservation governance. Yet little is known about how this transitional phase reshapes residents’ tourism perceptions and subjective well-being. Using Shennongjia as a case, the study adopts a mixed-methods approach that combines household surveys with longitudinal interviews within the Prism of Sustainability framework. Results reveal that …
Staffing and Resource Allocation in College Access Reform
Objective: Dual credit (DC), or dual enrollment, is college-level coursework that confers credit toward both high school graduation and a postsecondary degree. As DC has grown rapidly across the country, this study provides needed evidence about how these courses shift resources and cost burdens among community colleges, school districts, and families. Methods: We use economic evaluation methods to assess the cost of DC across three delivery mode…
Ethnography as a backdoor to critical tourism studies
Indigenous-based tourism can alleviate poverty, yet its socioecological trade-offs remain poorly understood. This ethnobiology study examines the Uro people of Lake Titicaca, historically marginalized fishers once confined to floating islands made of totora sedge, to illustrate how tourism reshaped their livelihoods and environments within a couple of generations. It reveals how the Uro strategically leveraged their Traditional Ecological Knowled…
Spatial variations in tourism sustainability perceptions
Household livelihood adaptive strategies in gateway communities of new national parks
Cultural insulation, social relative deprivation, and well-being in isolated Tibetan communities
Capital mobilization
Short- and long-term destination resilience in Wuhan, China under Covid-19
Fieldwork in pro-poor tourism
Tourism studies pay relatively little attention to the importance of reflexivity and metacognition. This article highlights the integral importance of explicitly considering reflexivity and metacognition issues as part of the research process when studying pro-poor tourism (PPT). Hence, the paper presents a reflexive and metacognitive account of the challenges and obstacles encountered while undertaking ethnographic fieldwork in PPT. Drawing on t…
Resident support in China’s new national parks
Gaps persist in the literature on resident support for tourism in relation to protected area sustainability and resident satisfaction. This study extends Prism of Sustainability research to analyze these linkages, focusing on four communities of China’s newly established Shennongjia National Park. An ‘interpretation’ mixed methods research design focuses primarily on SEM and bootstrap analyses of surveys (n = 403) from 2018–19 fieldwork, augmente…
Rural tourism and evolving identities of Chinese communities in forested areas
Rural China has faced considerable challenges in recent decades, leading to the dissolution of many state-owned forest farm communities and threatening sustainable development. There remains a need to understand the drivers and characteristics associated with these changes, including the influence of rural tourism on combating forest recession. This study addresses these concerns by constructing and applying a regional sociology framework to inve…
Tourism-induced landscape change along China’s rural-urban fringe
Since the 90s, tourism-induced landscape change has become a widespread phenomenon for villages outside major Chinese metropolises. Focusing on Zhangjiazha Village of central China, this study applies mixed methods to examine tourism-induced changes in landscape morphology, function, and structure. Results indicate that while Zhangjiazha’s tourism development has improved rural road quality, living conditions, and land-use efficiency, it has indu…

Prevalence and Public Health Implications of State Laws that Criminalize Potential HIV Exposure in the United States
For the past three decades, legislative approaches to prevent HIV transmission have been used at the national, state, and local levels. One punitive legislative approach has been enactment of laws that criminalize behaviors associated with HIV exposure (HIV-specific criminal laws). In the USA, HIV-specific criminal laws have largely been shaped by state laws. These laws impose criminal penalties on persons who know they have HIV and subsequently …
