Energy transitions in peripheral territories: Integrating Multi-level Perspective and Three Horizons approaches in Chilean Patagonia
Energy transitions in peripheral territories face unique challenges requiring place-based frameworks that integrate local knowledge with analytical rigor. This research examines energy transition dynamics in Chile’s Aysén region through an integrated methodology combining Multi-level Perspective analysis with Three Horizons participatory visioning, advancing a novel theoretical-methodological framework for sustainability science. Using directed c…
A South–North research agenda for cryotourism in a warming world
Cryotourism is a distinct form of tourism which is based on ice and snow cover and is thus highly determined by climatic conditions. While a considerable body of literature addresses the tourism-climate change nexus in (sub-)Arctic and European Alpine regions, little is known about the situation in South American high mountain and sub-Antarctic areas. Against this background, this perspective article presents a research agenda for cryotourism-cli…
Technology, innovation and leisure: Leisure engagement in new and unexpected ways
The interweaving of technology and leisure has become an integral part of leisure choice, access, engagement, management, and product development. This interweaving has resulted in new and innovative ways people can access leisure, created leisure opportunities for marginalized groups, and improved efficiencies and effectiveness in management. However, challenges have also resulted, such as the blurring of work/leisure time, raising quality of li…
Advancing understanding of digital well-being at the intersection of technology and leisure
As new technologies emerge and are inserted within peoples' lives each day, scholarly examination of the intersections between these innovations and leisure is increasingly vital. Researchers and their methods must continue to advance, in order to better anticipate and inform theory, industry, and society. This closing article of the Journal of Leisure Research special issue on technology, innovation, and leisure (TIL) provides a brief targeted b…
Privately protected areas in increasingly turbulent social contexts: Strategic roles, extent, and governance
This paper considers increasing global reliance on privately protected areas (PPAs) and associated nature-based tourism (NBT). A targeted literature review was guided by three research questions, which sought to understand how neoliberal concepts and dynamics manifest in private forms of conservation; how private forms of conservation have manifested in Chile; and, how Chileans' attitudes towards their government's neoliberal policies might affec…
Toward Healthier Parks and People through Integrated Soundscape Research: Applying the International Organization for Standardization Acoustic Environment Taxonomy across Contexts
This work addresses the call for integrative approaches to soundscape research that facilitate interdisciplinary advances, through enhancements to the 2018 International Organization for Standardization “Taxonomy of the Acoustic Environment for Soundscape Studies”, included in ISO12913-2 for soundscape data collection and reporting. Specifically, it strengthens natural sound sources and type considerations, enabling integrated approaches across u…
Cómo los visitantes y sus percepciones de los paisajes sonoros pueden mejorar la gestión colaborativa de las áreas protegidas
This study explored perceptions of the soundscapes of the CNR (Coyhaique National Reserve). Visitor surveys (N = 899), included demographic data and an exercise in listening to ambient sound. Results showed interest and affinity for sound as part of the recreation/tourism experience, with generally positive responses for most of the ten coded categories (Wind, Birds, Insects, Forest, Water, Voices, Passersby, Personal Sounds, Machines, Airplanes/…
Connecting protected area visitor experiences, wellness motivations, and soundscape perceptions in Chilean Patagonia
Supporting worldwide Healthy Parks, Healthy People (HPHP) research expansion, this study investigated how wellness motivations interplay with auditory experiences by examining relationships between protected area visitors’ wellness motivations, and their perceptions of particular sounds and overall soundscape appeal. Visitor surveys (N = 899), implemented in the Coyhaique National Reserve in Chilean Patagonia, included participant demographics, w…
Beyond noise management: Exploring visitors’ perceptions of positive emotional soundscape dimensions
This paper built upon prior positive soundscapes research conducted within an urban context. It explored the potential for the emotional dimensions proposed by Cain and colleagues to be applied within a natural protected area (PA) context, at a soundscape level, as a complement to existing perceptual constructs of acceptability and personal interpretation (annoyance and pleasingness) of individual sounds. Visitor perceptions were measured (n = 89…
Can intrinsic, instrumental, and relational value assignments inform more integrative methods of protected area conflict resolution? Exploratory findings from Aysén, Chile
This paper addresses Protected Area (PA) research gaps through an exploration of the plural nature of natural area values, using the three dimensions (intrinsic, instrumental, and relational) of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Conceptual Framework for values assessment. Research employs an online survey (n = 155), combining the Natural Area Value Scale (NAVS) and a fictional protected area decision ma…
Relationships Between Value Orientations and Wildlife Conservation Policy Preferences in Chilean Patagonia
Conflicts over wildlife conservation in protected areas can occur because stakeholders hold divergent values and value orientations. In this exploratory study, differences in value orientations among visitors to Chile's Tamango National Reserve (TNR) were examined. Questionnaires were completed by visitors (n = 97) during the Chilean summer of 2012. Respondents were grouped into strong protection (63%) and mixed protection–use (37%) value orienta…
Moving beyond tourists’ concepts of authenticity: Place-based tourism differentiation within rural zones of Chilean Patagonia
This paper explores the potential for rural and remote zones of emergent destinations to base their tourism development on endogenous resources and place-based differentiation through analysis of a two-phase case study within the geographic zone known as Patagonia. The first phase of the research explored independent tourism consumption within a new independent travel circuit designed to integrate rural zones of the Aysén Region of Chile with adj…
