Playspace users’ experience of a socially inclusive playspace
Inclusive play is a fundamental right for all children however few studies exist on playspaces and children with impairment. Drawing on Australia’s early childhood learning framework, Belonging, Being and Becoming, this study aims to explore whether Livvi’s Place, an inclusive playspace in Port Macquarie, Australia, met the principles and values articulated in the framework, and whether the playspace, was meeting its goal of social inclusion. One…
Exploring governance structures of high altitude rangeland in Bhutan using Ostrom’s Design Principles
High altitude rangeland and livelihood systems in Bhutan are undergoing changes in resource availability, population and user rights. This paper explores the existing governance structures of high altitude rangelands in Bhutan using Ostrom’s design principles as a framework for analysis.

Improving engagement between tourists and staff at natural and cultural heritage tourism sites
Natural and cultural heritage tourism organisations offering informal learning environments such as museums, national parks and zoos engage with tourists through a range of techniques including interpretation.

Changes in Property Rights and Management of High-Elevation Rangelands in Bhutan
Property rights and management regimes for high-elevation rangelands in Bhutan have evolved over centuries in response to environmental, cultural, and political imperatives. The 2007 Land Act of Bhutan aims to redress historical inequities in property rights by redistributing grazing leases to local livestock owners in a process known as rangeland nationalization. This study explored 3 related issues: property rights and management regimes in 3 d…
Using residents’ attitudes, knowledge and behaviours to improve biodiversity conservation in an Australian rural–urban landscape
The role of private land in biodiversity conservation is recognized, yet has received limited attention in the literature. Increasing urban development on the rural–urban interface of regional cities in Australia is creating a fragmented landscape of urban and conservation areas. Residents in these areas can assist in biodiversity conservation. Data on residents’ pro-conservation behaviours, knowledge, attitudes and connection to nature were coll…
A Place of Pain and Gain”

Field research was conducted from July to December 2013 using 69 semistructured interviews, seven focus-group discussions, and analysis of secondary data. By following the dominant narrati…
The changing face of the tour guide
Thirty years after Cohen's seminal work on tour guiding, the role(s) played by and skills required of tour guides continue to evolve. As ‘experience’ has come to be considered central to tourism, research on the guide as communicator and experience-broker has expanded. Guides broker experience in at least four domains – physical access, understanding, encounters and empathy. This conceptual paper examines, via the literature particularly on the m…

Changes in Transhumant Agro-pastoralism in Bhutan
Factors Facilitating and Inhibiting the Use of Research to Inform Interpretation Practice
Interpretation research can be and is used to inform and improve interpretation policymaking and planning undertaken by practitioners such as those who work for Australian protected area management (PAM) agencies. This study explores perceptions of the extent to which interpretation research is undertaken and used by these agencies, and the facilitators and constraints to doing so. In-depth telephone interviews were conducted with senior interpre…
Exploring the Digital Divide in an Australian Regional City
The ‘digital divide’ is generally considered to be the gap between people who have access to information and communication technologies (ICT) and those who do not, and an issue of significant social justice. This paper presents findings from research that explored the digital divide within the regional city of Albury. The study focused on assessing whether there was a digital divide; identifying strategies to address any divide; and developing a …

Negotiating Ideologies
Although significant changes have occurred with regard to women’s access to employment in natural resource management agencies over the past twenty years, field-based and management positions remain male-identified. A case study of women’s experiences working in two Australian national park agencies reveals some ‘discomfort’ and conflict as a consequence of the positions being constructed as masculine. This paper explores these issues drawing on …
