Governance agency in a contested cruise destination
This article proposes a framework that explains the evolution of destination governance by examining the power and trust implications of the ways that various stakeholders legitimize their visions of a desirable future. We apply it to the case of Juneau, Alaska, a community and a cruise destination which lacks a comprehensive tourism plan but where governance is evolving due to the long-term confrontation between disputed visions, expectations, a…
Social and economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on tourism-based communities in Southeast Alaska
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the abrupt suspension of cruise ship visits under the U.S. Center for Disease Control’s “No Sail Order” resulting in loss of jobs and revenues for coastal communities of Southeast Alaska. We conducted case studies in three Southeast Alaska communities to learn how they responded to the abrupt loss of cruise tourism and to the economic and social challenges of COVID-19. Through data gathered in focus groups an…
Increasing multi-hazard climate risk and financial and health impacts on northern homeowners
Currently, more than half of the world’s human population lives in urban areas, which are increasingly affected by climate hazards. Little is known about how multi-hazard environments affect people, especially those living in urban areas in northern latitudes. This study surveyed homeowners in Anchorage and Fairbanks, USA, Alaska’s largest urban centers, to measure individual risk perceptions, mitigation response, and damages related to wildfire,…
The role of perceptions versus instrumented data of environmental change
Mapping the Stakeholders
Participatory scenario planning (PSP) processes rely on accurate stakeholder identification to develop a key set of critical uncertainties. While many stakeholder analysis methods are able to identify stakeholders and describe their relationships, we found these efforts to have limited use in the fast-moving and in-depth approach of PSP research. We find that social network analysis (SNA) is an efficient, objective, and transparent approach to st…

What may be healthy expressions of seeking congruence as a person may be misinterpreted as increased psychoparhology. Beginning with a theoretical orientation to the fundamentalist movement, t…
