Full textAbstract:
Ecotourism is a form of tourism which supports biodiversity conservation, socio-cultural development and economic enhancement of a country. It had positive as well as negative impacts on environmental, social and economic aspects of the environment. In the context of Nepal, ecotourism had supported conservation of flora and fauna, livelihood of poor and needy people and development of culture and society. Researchers have used direct observation, questionnaire surveys, focus group discussions and key informant interviews to collect the primary data and different published documents, journals and books for collecting secondary data on ecotourism issues. Also, they have used different analytical techniques based on tabular representation, graphical presentations and statistical methods. Ecotourism had helped to increase the source of revenue which in turn had supported environmental conservation activities. In many areas of the world, floral and faunal diversity had increased significantly by the initiation of ecotourism programs. Dependent people on natural resources, park beneficiaries and park conservators are directly supplemented by the earning received from the ecotourism activities. It has led to disappearance of respect, culture and traditions in some cases while it had also encouraged showing their costumes, songs, dances and other social features in other cases. For long term development of ecotourism, small scale tourism based on community should be focused rather than a large scale mass tourism.Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Education 8 (2018) , Page: 30-47

Full textAbstract:
AbstractHarkening back to the debates associated with “dualistic economies” in addressing emerging nation states, we examine aspects of the ancient economy of the lowland Maya. Resource-specialized communities were knit together in a network of interdependencies that allowed high degrees of self-sustaining separation from the large monumental centers about which we know most. The social and biophysical environs of the ancient Maya permitted multiple economic spheres that influenced their political organization and affected their lack of developed hegemonic controls. Evidence is presented from the present-day ecological set aside of the Programme for Belize in northwestern Belize.

Full textAbstract:
The study aims to evaluate research trends of ecotourism, which has attracted wide attention by both researchers and policymakers as an important way to realize sustainable tourism. Bibliometric analysis was carried through the 2,531 records related to ecotourism searching from Science Citation Index (SCI), Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI), and Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP) databases from 1990 to 2016. A total of 4,138 keywords were divided into three categories: topical keywords, case-related keywords, and research methods–related keywords. They, respectively, were analyzed on overall development as well as the dynamic changes by three divided stages of ecotourism research. The results showed that Tourism Management was the most prolific journal. U.S.-based authors published more often than those from any other country, whereas among research institutions, the Chinese Academy of Sciences was the most prolific contributor. It also revealed that conservation was the key focus, protected area was the main study object, and sustainable tourism was the main aim. The top three countries for cases study were China, the United States, and South Africa, and the main methodologies were contingent valuation method and geographic information system. According to the dynamic analysis, research perspectives changed from ecotourism resources to management and subsequently expanded to multistakeholders involvement, with a rapid expansion of the case and implementation of quantitative research methods. With multidisciplinary involvement and multistakeholders participation, the study of tourist awareness and behavior on ecotourism would become the main aspects for deepening and concreting ecotourism research. Our findings provide a quantitative understanding of global ecotourism research features.

In this paper, we study the question of relationship and influence between tourists’ perception and the image of off-season ecotourism destination and sustainable development of tourism, which is based on the web text. Firstly, we analyze the tendency of high-frequency words as tourism perception and customer attitude using the data of network text which is from review websites. Secondly, we study the image perception differences of ecotourism destinations in low and peak seasons through text replacement, perceived category comparison, perceived emotion comparison, and social network and network semantics comparison. Finally, we provide relevant suggestions and opinions on the sustainable development of off-season ecotourism, which is from the aspects of tourism attraction management, tourism publicity and ecological environment protection.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Scientific knowledge is usually regarded as the basis for the management of natural environment and wildlife in ecotourism. However, recently, social construction approaches challenge the domination of natural science. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the social construction paradigm in ecotourism management, through conducting a content analysis of social media comments on an accident caused by a monkey in a Chinese ecotourism area. The results show that people commented on the accident from five aspects. First, the public expressed their compassion and mourning for the deceased. Second, people thought that the death was casual and absurd, yet life is full of uncertainty and people should cherish the present. Third, people commented much on the deceased tourist’s company, which is a famous sugar brand well entrenched in many Chinese people’s childhood memories. Fourth, people constructed the monkey as Monkey King, Golden Monkey (another famous sugar brand in China) and as a criminal. Fifth, people also gave their opinions about possible causes of the accident, namely, it was caused by “the mandate of heaven,” company competition, conspiracies or poor management. This study only seriously considers the comments about the mandate of heaven. This explanation is consistent with the Chinese traditional construction of nature as “heaven,” which is believed to dominate the natural and human worlds. Most people, including the managers, accepted the accident and did not explore further about the reasons for the accident. In this case, such a social construction of nature does not aid effective ecotourism management.

The article examines the nature -oriented tourism in the context of its impact on a variety of factors. In the first part of article the author characterizes the differences between nature-oriented and eco-tourism, and defines the concept of "ecotourism". The ecotourism is based on the developed by experts principles of sustainable develop-ment. In contrast to it, the nature-oriented tourism in itself does not assume respect for nature and creating any public goods. It is an umbrella term, not a concept. In the second part of the work the author analyzes the major adverse environmental and social and economic impacts of the development of various types of nature -oriented tourism. In terms of the tourism impact on the environment the article presents a specific list of effects on soil, water bodies, wildlife, plants, and also discusses the changes in the landscape aesthetic qualities and sanitary conditions. Like any other kind of human impact, the nature-oriented tourism may have a significant adverse environment impact. It could lead to changes in geological formations, consisting of soil and growing plants on the territory, and could cause a reduction in the population of animals and insects. On the basis of the research the author offers specific recommendations, which implementation will contribute to the reducing the nega-tive consequences of nature-oriented tourism discussed i

ABSTRACTCommunity-based ecotourism is one of the efforts of rural development through the tourism sector, which not only presents natural tourism resources, but also contributes to environmental conservation, and the community as the main controller in its development. Rejowinangun Tourism Village is a village with a lot of potential and began to be developed as an ecotourism area, but still has many problems, both from the environmental aspects, management aspects, to aspects of human resources, so that tourism activities in the region have not developed. Therefore, a study is needed to analyze the potentials of community-based ecotourism development in Rejowinangun Tourism Village, and to achieve these objectives, an analysis is conducted on all aspects, namely analysis on aspects of tourist objects and attractions,social aspects, management aspects, up to aspects of organizing community empowerment. In collecting data, the method used is community participatory. In this method the community is the central focus and the ultimate goal of the activity, citizen participation will increase citizens' self-esteem and the ability to be able to participate in the mission concerning the community and village. Citizen participation will foster an environment that is conducive to increasing environmental potential and community growth.

Full textAbstract:
The ecotourism potential of the beach area in Bone Bolango regency, if developed optimally, is very high. Ecotourism development is a tourism activity that incorporates the principles of environment-friendly attitudes. It emphasizes the aspects of nature conservation, empowerment of the local community’s economic, social, and cultural competence, as well as education. Botutonuo beach is among the coastal areas in Bone Bolango regency with high ecotourism potential. The present study aimed to analyze the ecotourism potential of Botutonuo beach based on the physical, sociocultural, economic, and institutional parameters. It employed an ecological-spatial approach by involving the Geographic Information System (GIS). The research method comprised field observation; the data were retrieved by field measurement, interview, and questionnaire. The data were analyzed in a quantitative manner with descriptive statistical analysis, scoring analysis, and qualitative descriptive analysis to result in the final evaluation score of the site’s ecotourism potentials. The analysis result on the site’s physical parameters (vegetation, environmental hygiene, materials, and water brightness) indicated that the Botutonuo beach has high potential. The same criteria were also given in other physical parameters that consisted of distance, facilities, accessibility, and site attractiveness. Moreover, high ecotourism potential was also shown by the site’s other parameters (institutional, sociocultural, economic, and environmental parameters). The site’s high ecotourism potential was due to the beach’s characteristics. The site is a sandy beach that is naturally formed. On top of that, the community’s contribution to constructing tourism facilities was influential in boosting the ecotourism potentials.

Comparing the source of a commodity with the social levels of the people amongst whom it is found can reveal important aspects of social structure. This case study of a Maya community, using archaeological and ethnographic data, shows that pine and pine charcoal was procured at a distance and distributed unevenly in settlements. The researchers deduce that this commodity was not freely available in the market place, but was subject to political control.

Purpose This exploratory study aims to examines the multidimensional aspects of perceived value (functional value, financial value, emotional value, social value, epistemic value and conditional value) in relation to purchase intention in ecotourism. The study evaluates the influence of trust and perceived risk as mediators on perceived value. Design/methodology/approach Data for this exploratory study stem from online survey responses of 314 participants and are analyzed using descriptive analyses, factor analyses and multiple regressions. Findings The study findings show that four significant predictors influence ecotourism purchase intention: emotional value, functional value, boredom alleviation value and epistemic value. Trust partially affects the relationship between perceived values and purchase intention. Meanwhile, there is no mediation effect of perceived risk in the relationship between perceived value and purchase intention. This study concludes that perceived values influence ecotourism purchase intention, with emotional value providing the strongest relation to purchase intention. Research limitations/implications The sample is based on selected criteria for a convenient sampling technique instead of a random sampling technique. However, criteria are in accordance with other ecotourism studies. Originality/value While multidimensional perceived values have been examined before, few papers have provided support for the emotional value dimension in ecotourism.

The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the macro environment on ecotourism infrastructure. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the article is the basic provisions of the theory of ecotourism development in the conditions of transformational changes. To achieve the goal of the research, there were used general scientific theoretical methods: generalization, explanation, grouping – to analyze the views of economists on the object of study and to formulate conclusions of the content analysis of primary sources; analysis and synthesis – to substantiate the conceptual provisions, principles in solving research problems. Results. Ecotourism infrastructure plays a key role in the development of ecotourism. Its existence is associated with the state of productive forces and the territorial division of labor, as well as the efficiency of material production. The infrastructural arrangement of ecotourism, on the one hand, depends on the pace of modernization, and on the other hand, it acts as a driver of economic growth of ecotourism. The development of ecotourism infrastructure depends on the specifics of the industry and regions and is carried out in accordance with changes in the production sphere. It is given that infrastructure has a significant impact on the efficiency of economic entities through the participation of industrial and social services in the creation of consumer value and prices of services. Thus, it is important to study the impact of the macro environment on ecotourism infrastructure. Practical implications. The subject оf research is the theoretical and methodological, as well as scientific and practical principles of assessing the impact of the macro environment on ecotourism infrastructure. In the article, the principles of effective ecotourism with optimal ecotourism infrastructure usage have been justified. It is determined that the development of ecotourism can cause a variety of consequences at the local, regional and national levels, the range of which is from very favorable to destructive. Socio-economic aspects related to the development of ecotourism infrastructure are analyzed. Value/ originality. PEST-analysis of the impact of the macro environment on the ecotourism infrastructure was conducted. Having studied the impact of macroeconomic indicators on ecotourism infrastructure, it can be argued that it is optimal to put economic benefits in the foreground and ensure the preservation of their own habitat.

Full textAbstract:
Achieving equitable and sustainable ecotourism requires a wide range of multidisciplinary and cross-scale information, particularly given the growing scale of ecotourism operations and continuing governance and climate challenges. Ecosystems in Mexico’s Gulf of California and Baja California Peninsula support a thriving ecotourism industry that has quickly expanded over the last few decades, potentially outpacing research into current performance and future sustainable development opportunities. We develop and apply a formal literature review approach to characterize academic marine ecotourism literature, highlight key insights and identify research strengths and gaps, and thus analyse almost 50 publications for the region from 1994 to 2014. There has been a significant increase in the number of various types of publications; most (68%) focus on ecological themes, 25% on economics, and 7% on social aspects of human wellbeing. There are also trends towards research on specific species (e.g. mammals, fish and sharks) and in specific areas. A common theme in publication conclusions is the need for collaboration from all stakeholder groups. We discuss these findings, and address potential limitations of our method, with a view to informing sound policies to ensure that ecotourism can provide equitable benefits to local communities while incentivizing sustainable practices and nature conservation.

Full textAbstract:
Ecotourism development is one of the important assets to promote conservation and sustainable economic development in the tourist destinations. The implementation of ecotourism can be initiated through Community-based Ecotourism (CBET). CBET promotes participation in natural and cultural resource management as well as to seek benefits for the economic development of the local community in which ecotourism takes place. However, the implication of CBET in several places is far from the target to achieve sustainability. It was identified that the sustainability was caused by mutual symbiotic and benefits among local economic livelihood, cultural preservation, and environmental conservation. One of the main hindering factors for the implementation of CBET to create mutual symbiotic among those aspects is insufficient social capital. This finding is based on reviews of related literature particularly about social capital in CBET. In addition, social capital and CBET’s main issues in economic, culture and environment were analysed. The result shows that social capital was found important and worthy to be given special attention because it includes basic social features i.e. norms, social trust and networks. For example, the success of CBET can be seen in the case study conducted in Tumani Tenda Camp Village-Gambia, West Africa. It was showed that social capital has created positive impact on economic development, environmental management and cultural preservation. By setting up structured social capital, local people currently have less relied on other villages to provide poultry for the camp and even can sell the surplus. For a high level of social capital, this village has become the first village winning the National Environmental Agency’s competition for ecocamp development in forest program. In terms of cultural preservation, social capital helped villagers in building trust and participation in several rituals or village’s activities. However, conformity and restriction on the norms and rules in the village will be negative consequences of social capital in Tumani Tenda Camp Village. Thus, social capital in CBET should be put into account for its important roles in supporting economic development, environmental management and cultural activities in many other tourism sites.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to find a balance between tourism development and environment, on the one hand, and achieve a consensus between the profitability and development of local community, on the other hand. Design/methodology/approach The research model presented is a model of structural equations with three variables (tourists, local population and resources); these variables attempt to explain how we can develop ecotourism in Farasan Island. This study is based on a survey conducted in June 2015 of 600 Saudi citizens and residents. A list comprising 900 potential participants was created from various public sources as well as from the researchers’ professional and social contacts. The interviewees were contacted to alert them to participate in the survey. A total of 600 completed responses were received within 10 weeks of launching the survey, and these responses are analyzed and reported in the present study. The questionnaire consists of a series of questions with a five-point Likert scale for each concept in the model. The authors also used a set of demographic questions that delved into respondents’ tourism and ecotourism knowledge. Findings The results of this study indicate that the impact of local population and resources toward ecotourism is statistically significant and that they positively influence ecotourism as hypothesized. However, it was surprising that tourist was negatively related to ecotourism. This may be because the benefits of tourist are more apparent at leisure and social level rather than at the environmental level. The data were analyzed using factor, correlation and multiple regression analyses. Factor analysis was used to determine the dimensionality of each construct. The reliability and validity of the constructs resulting from the factor analysis were evaluated before they were used in the regression analysis. Reliability was tested using Cronbach’s alpha, where the degree of acceptance of reliability is 0.70 (Nunnally, 1978). Research limitations/implications Negative attitudes toward a potentially empowering tourist need further investigation and attention from policymakers. One possible explanation for this result may be that ecotourism through foreign tourist is not entirely anonymous, and this may dissuade people for fright of negative effects. It can be explained by the conservative culture of Saudi Arabia and the so-called “intermediate paradox” (Persson and Lindh, 2012), where the same people who are responsible for new forms of ecotourism explicitly or implicitly oppose these reforms. Practical implications From a practical perspective, the findings regarding attitudes toward ecotourism lend support to the notion that the government is doing a relatively good job and this work should be sustained. The respondents recognize that significant benefits can be derived if the government uses ecotourism to develop and increase livelihood of citizen. These benefits include more efficient policy- and decision-making processes and outcomes and greater engagement of citizens in government initiatives and priorities for ecotourism. This perception is in accord with the pervasive thinking in the literature regarding the transformative potential of ecotourism. The lack of interest or discomfort in engaging with the government via ecotourism has profound implications for the development of Farasan Island in Saudi Arabia. The finding suggests that regardless of the level of government investment in ecotourism, uptake may remain low. The study has also proposed and empirically tested a model of ecotourism that provides fertile grounds for further testing in other contexts and socio-political environments. From a practical perspective, the findings reported here could help shape the strategies and tactics the government could use to increase the rate of ecotourism in Saudi Arabia. Social implications From an original exploratory study that puts in perspective of Island experience, this study examines the scope of ecotourism as an alternative to tourism to the Farasan Island in Saudi Arabia. Considering the tourism potential existing on Farasan Island and its socio-cultural consequences discussed, we think of making tourism otherwise based on conservation of ecology and participation of local people. It is then shown that the position of the authorities in terms of alternative tourism, which remains the order of discourse, encourages local actors to pursue their own projects. But in terms of local development, the impact of these local initiatives, scattered and disjointed, are altogether very low. The authors try, through well-designed questionnaire, to explore and to take measures leading to the expected sustainable management of resources, while investments are gradually encouraging ecotourism in Farasan Island. The results indicate that the impact of local population and resource toward ecotourism is statistically significant and that they positively influence ecotourism. However, it was surprising that tourist was negatively related to ecotourism. Originality/value Research on ecotourism in Saudi Arabia is virtually non-existent, particularly research relating to tourist as opposed to the technological aspects of fostering ecotourism. The results of this study indicate that two variables positively influence ecotourism: local population and resource, through the use of nature and social tradition. The perceived benefits of ecotourism were statistically significant but negatively related to tourists. Moreover, both age and gender influence the level of ecotourism – age positively and gender negatively. These findings suggest that as people become more mature, they are more willing to encourage ecotourism of the country via natural and cultural channels. Also, it appears that women are not likely to use ecotourism more because of traditional practices of the role of women. Moreover, participants have a favorable attitude toward the progress and efforts made by the government to encourage greater ecotourism. Finally, while participants recognize the benefits of interacting with the government through programs and that program is likely to play a major role in future efforts, they currently do not see the need to use ecotourism or are not comfortable to engage with the government.

Full textAbstract:
A holistic and relational approach to landscape amplifies understandings of the complexities of human–environment relationships. This article examines ecological and social aspects of landscape at the ancient Maya city of Aventura, Belize, in the context of relational ontologies. The city of Aventura is enmeshed with microenvironments known as pocket bajos, and I argue that pocket bajos defy categorization as natural or cultural. By exploring their spatial context, material content, and associated activities that create cosmological connections, I demonstrate that the pocket bajos were active social agents in the construction of the city and the maintenance of community. The relations that people living at Aventura established with pocket bajos highlight the interconnectedness of humans with the environment, and this approach avoids projecting current-day Western categories of nature and culture onto the past.

Full textAbstract:
Participatory tourism development projects are considered effective and democratic since they engage people in interactive learning processes that change individuals and societies. In order to be transformative, a relational and social process must be acheived which challenges prior knowledge and beliefs. The purpose of this article is to explore engagement as a transformative feature of research and development practice. Three aspects of engagement are proposed through which higher learning loops and transformation can be enhanced: embodied and situated learning, relationship-building, and acknowledging and sharing power. These three aspects of engagement are explored through the case of developing an ecotourism site by Lake Victoria in Kenya.

Full textAbstract:
Mentawai is well known as an ecotourism area in Indonesia, with its Siberut National Park recognized as part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves. People come to visit this exotic area every year to do activities and enjoying the natural surroundings. Tourist visits to Mentawai were escalating by years, both domestic and foreign tourists. Regional income from tourism was also increasing. Ecotourism is known worldwide for its benefit for economic contribution to local communities and poverty alleviation. The economic contribution of ecotourism is often appreciated through its direct effect on local business enterprises on sites. However, statistics today showed that Mentawai are still categorized as underdeveloped and poor. Therefore, this descriptive research objective was to assess tourism contribution by means of direct effect to local business enterprises and challenges faced by villages near Siberut National Park, South Siberut, Mentawai. A survey was conducted in November 2018 by distributing questionnaires to 19 representatives of tourism-related Local Business Enterprises (LBEs) using an accidental sampling technique. Data collected were then processed, analyzed and interpreted. In conclusion, this study shows that there is a low direct effect of tourism to the existing Local Business Enterprise in the villages of Muntei, Madobag, and Matotonan of South Siberut, Mentawai Island Regency, West Sumatera, Indonesia. In addition, essential challenges exist, not to mention managerial, predominantly concerning financial and legal matters. It is recommended that local government and other stakeholders put more consideration not only on environmental and social aspects, but also economy, represented by local business enterprises. Initiatives and integrated actions should be arranged and put in practice as empowering tourism, particularly ecotourism to its optimum, to bring about foremost contribution to local economy through direct effect of tourism to local business enterprises.

Full textAbstract:
Global warming is increasing interest in the Arctic on surrounding countries. In the processes taking place, they see developmental opportunities and risks, especially for the environment overburdened by increased human activity. The need to balance socioeconomic development and environmental concerns affects their arctic strategies. An example of a place that undergoes an adaptation process is the Norwegian Svalbard. The article examines changes taking place in the archipelago using both: quantitative and qualitative analyses. Results show that Norway’s arctic strategy underlines the need to balance social, economic and environmental aspects, and the situation in Svalbard corresponds to these demands. Polar tourism and research and education play a key role in the transformation processes taking place in the archipelago. Climate and environmental considerations at the same time increase tourists’ interest in the region and limit tourist traffic. An analysis of its current state indicates that the dominant part of the existing tourist traffic on Svalbard can be considered as ecotourism.

Natural wealth is an enormous gift. Located in northern part of Bandung, in a mountainous area, Mekarsaluyu Village has vast natural potential. The cool air, beautiful scenery, and the existence of rivers and contoured land, and the culture in the form of art and traditional music and culinary make the village has a unique local wealth. However, the local wealth available has not been managed well. The potential referred to has not yet had an optimal positive impact both on the social and economic life of its inhabitants. The background of this problem gives encouragement to empower the people of Mekarsaluyu Village by planning a tourist village development program with the theme of ecotourism. To design the program, it was necessary to collect data on the existing conditions in Mekarsaluyu Village, covering the physical aspects of natural resources and the non-physical aspects of the socio-cultural community. Getting real, accurate, and actual needs necessary to update the data and complete the lack of required data, were important for determining the ecotourism village program's planning. Therefore, the aim of this work was to carry out community service in counseling on updating data for Mekarsaluyu Village residents. The method used was in the form of training and assistance in filling out data. The writing team prepared the necessary database format tools in data variables related to the ecotourism village planning program. Then together with the residents, simulated the form filling. The results obtained from this community service are the ability of villager residents to fill in actual data independently with accuracy and validity related to physical data on the natural geographical conditions and Mekarsaluyu Village's socio-cultural community.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of sustainable rural development comprises three aspects - social, economical and ecological. They are supposed to act in synergy, but, at the same time, these aspects are supposed to be competitive. Agriculture, as a traditional activity of rural economy, contributes to the sustainable development of rural areas only if there is an adequate resources management. If not, there will be a significant degradation of rural environment. These are the reasons why sustainable agriculture development is emphasized since it maximizes productivity and minimizes negative effects on nature and human resources. In this context, one should observe the connection between agriculture and tourism existing in the EU, where the application of sustainable agricultural development concept produces external effects connected to biodiversity protection and environment in rural areas. These become a good foundation for the development of rural and ecotourism. EU enlargement induced diversification of support programmes that EU gives to the candidate countries, as well as to those who are just entering the process of stabilization and association to the EU. Through cross-border cooperation projects, many goals can be accomplished, among which aspiration for promotion of sustainable economical and social development in border regions is one of the leading. Knowing that these regions are usually passive and underdeveloped, the projects of cross-border cooperation could induce development of those activities in local economy, which could bring better living conditions and economic prosperity on the one hand, and protection of environment on the other. Examples of this kind of projects in Serbia can usually be found in rural and ecotourism development.

Empirical data has been collected through survey & FGDs from the residents of two villages called Khasi Punji and Dulahajra of this park.Observed evidences show that foremost influence of Ecotourism fall on economic aspects of ethnic life. Income level has been increased compare then before after establishing eco-park in this forest. People become involve with various new job besides their traditional occupation. Different NGOs are working here for make them economically empower. Correspondingly, eco-park originates few positive changes in social life of indigenous people. Nowadays people get modern education, more security, modern medical facility, better roads and easy transportation. Their perception about tourist and tourism are also changing positively day by day. Core cultural elements like language, dress pattern, house pattern, and food habit are also changing with the interaction with tourist and people with plain land. People are now more aware about environmental conservation. They take part in forest conservation, bio-diversity conservation and forest cleaning. They are knowledgeable about sustainable usages of forest resources. Like positive impacts of Ecotourism it has also few negative impacts on tribal life. After launching eco-park ethnic people loss their land ownership right and they are facing accommodation problem as well. Eco-park officials sometimes show immoral manner with the inhabitants; they force them for giving free labor in the park. Similarly some visitors/tourists do not show proper respect to them. Sometimes travels ruined betel gardens, stole betel leaves and lemons also.

Belize, país anglófono da América Central, é descrito,normalmente, em termos da sua diversidade cultural e da multiplicidade dos grupos étnicos que o compõem. Contudo, essa diversidade não é uma característica estável, não é gerida nem interpretada de uma única forma. Suas populações suscetíveis de serem reconhecidas como afrodescendentes têm origens múltiplas, populações essas que foram conformadas ou que chegaram a Belize em circunstâncias históricas muito diversas: alguns escravizados, outros livres, urbanos ou rurais, agricultores ou assalariados, anglófonos ou não, etc. Diante dessa complexidade de articulações, o artigo busca interpretar as práticas políticas observadas em matéria de “gestão da diversidade” (a colonial de “divide and rule”, a neoliberal, a multicultural...) em dois aspectos que determinam o campo da autonomia – ideológica ou territorial – do país e que elaboram as condiciones de existência da Nação e dos grupos que a compõem: políticas culturais e regulamentação das terras. A análise mostra que as variações nas políticas implementadas referem-se menos a composição étnica da população que ao posicionamento dos grupos sociais e governos frente às forças exógenas (o império colonial, as arenas transnacionais, a globalização dos direitos autóctones) e endógenas (o paradigma desenvolvimentista, a construção da Nação). Essas forças desenham em cada período o campo de opções políticas possíveis.Palavras-Chaves: Etnicidade, América Central, políticas públicas.---Belice: políticas públicas y la gestión del pluralismo étnicoBelice, país anglófono de América central, es descrito a menudo en términos de la diversidad cultural y de multiplicidad de los grupos étnicos que lo componen.

However, this diversity is not a stable characteristic; it is not managed or interpreted in one single way. Their populations most susceptible to being recognized as African descent have multiple origins. These populations either have been assimilated completely or came to Belize in very different historical circumstances: some enslaved, some free, urban or rural, farmers or wage earner, Anglophone or not, etc. Given this complexity, the article seeks to interpret the political practices observed in the field of "diversity management" (the colonial "divide and rule", neoliberal, multicultural) on two aspects that determine the field of autonomy - territorial or ideological - of the country and that prepare the conditions of existence for the nation and for the groups that comprise it: cultural policies and regulations of the land. The analysis shows that changes in implemented policies refer less to the ethnic composition of the population than to the position of the social groups and Governments in the face of exogenous forces (colonial empire, transnational arenas, and the globalization of indigenous rights) and endogenous forces (the development paradigm, the construction of the Nation). In each period, these forces point out the field of possible policies.Key words: ethnicity, Central America, public policies.

Implementing sustainable principles when landscaping parks is vital for the development of the built environment, and should take into account environmental, social, economic, and cultural aspects, in order to eliminate conflict between developmental requirements, and the need to preserve cultural and natural resources. This paper reviews the guidelines that should be considered for current and future sustainable parks in regions with a moderate climate, in order to ensure that they incorporate ecotourism, cost effective operation and maintenance, a clean environment, the promotion of renewable energy, and resource preservation. A number of parks, located in moderate climate zones, are studied in terms of aspects such as their location, topography, operation, and landscaping characteristics, to demonstrate the prevailing normative values that can be applied to sustainable park design. Prince Meshari Park, in Al-Baha city, Saudi Arabia, is employed as a case study for applying all of the guidelines proposed in this investigation, and to highlight some of their merits and limitations in terms of the current situation of the park.

This study examined the theory of sustainable development according to Von Stoker which includes three aspects: ecological, social and economic. The results showed that the process of development in the village Bumiaji has fulfilled the aspects of sustainable development, but in the process is still not able to walk up. Agriowisata potential is the main resource in conducting ecological development. From the social aspect, the potential for ecotourism has provided benefits and impacts to the land owner, the village government and local residents. Bumiaji economic development relies on natural resources and the production of paddy fields. This agro-tourism development can increase people's income and the expansion of the labor force, so that the welfare of the citizens can be increased.

This journal is essential for social, economic, and government in the Meat Village. It is about a potentially marine tourism destination, located in Meat Village, Tampahan District, Toba Samosir Regency, North Sumatra Province. As one of the tourism destinations, this village needs to be developed, especially water transportation, which is supported by Lake Toba's natural resources. But it has been replaced by land and air transportation. On the other hand, water transportation has its privilege, namely giving a sense of being united with nature and listening to the gentle sound of water, which cannot be felt if using land or air transportation. Therefore, it requires a passenger port to facilitate tourists in accessing this tourism village through water transportation. This port consists of a passenger terminal that accommodates passengers' departure and arrival. The method used in site selection is done through discussion of primary data, namely data sources that directly provide data to data collectors and secondary data, that is, data that does not directly provide data to researchers, through other people or analyzed documents and concluded. The result of the methodology used is, this passenger terminal needs the Neo Vernacular Architecture approach for the design. Because the village has aspects of the past, such as Batak Toba culture and mythology that need to be preserved and introduced to the present as long-term projections for the future. This is useful to make the building becomes part of the Meat Village community.

In the modern world, the question of the interaction of society and nature is one of the most acute problems among those facing humanity. Today, rapid economic development is causing a significant increase in the use and, consequently, depletion of natural resources. This necessitates the search for a new economic model that could break the link between economic growth and the depletion of natural resources. The study substantiates the theoretical aspects of eco-tourism as an important component of the strategy of sustainable development of tourism in Ukraine. The priority directions of sustainable development of tourism in the context of modernization of economic activity of Ukraine are outlined. The main directions of greening of the tourist sphere are considered. The main functions and principles of eco-tourism are formed and the relevance of the research and the need to develop prospects for the development of eco-tourism in Ukraine are substantiated. The concept of circular economy is a new economic model that manages the development of ecotourism, which allows to resolve the growing contradiction between the need to meet the growing needs of tourists and the limited number of natural, social, economic resources of host destinations in a deteriorating environment.

AbstractNowadays, the sustainability plays an important role in developing marketing in tourism, both from the theoretical and from the practical aspect. Sustainable marketing considers the general principles of marketing, with respect to sustainability as a new focus for a long-lasting customer relationship. Therefore, the business marketing in tourism should consider the importance of perceptions and expectations of tourists as final consumers. Regarding different marketing elements with sustainable aspect, this paper aims at investigating consumers’ perceptions of foreign tourists in Republic of Macedonia. In order to provide tourist perceptions and expectations, a survey based research was conducted among 254 foreign tourists in four cities in Republic of Macedonia, concerning aspects as: tourist perceptions of marketing elements of the current tourist offering and their expectations towards sustainable tourism development. For this purpose, statistical methods have been used as: Hi2-test, Student’s t-tests as well as correlation and Anova, using a specific program STAT FOR WINDOWS and STATA 11 for descriptive statistics of demographic characteristics of the sample.The paper presents the main findings from the literature, drawing conclusions from the empirical research and providing recommendations for future academic and business research. Considering the specifics of different target segments, results from this research are presenting the need for lower pricing, increased promotional activities using social media, providing online booking and development of ecotourism.

Full textAbstract:
Richard Butler’s Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model proposes a specified view on the qualitative changes in the number of tourists N in the area over time and the environmental, social and economic processes taking place there simultaneously. N changes follow S-shaped curve up to stagnation phase. Such a course was adopted in the TALC model, assuming that the tourist population at this stage develops in accordance with a logistic model derived from ecology. This work aimed to recall the properties of the logistic model and the ecological assumptions underlying it, and some of the consequences of incorporating the logistic model into the TALC model. An attempt has also been made to link other TALC aspects with ecology. In particular, reference is made to the graph on the right side of the logistic equation of the TALC model as a function of N with the phases of evolution of the tourist area marked, which reminds that the most attractive area is the original area, i.e. when N is small, as it is characterized by the highest per capita growth of the tourist population. According to this figure, as N increases, there is a linear decrease in attractiveness despite the investments introduced according to the TALC model scenario, i.e. they do not reverse this trend. The same diagram can be used to show some elementary differences between ecotourism and mass tourism. The issues of population regulation were also raised, including the density-dependent self-regulation, the Allee effect, the concept of environmental capacity and r and K strategies. It was also pointed out that the experience gained in the field of population modelling in ecology could help to model tourist populations.

Qualitative methods to answer the problems and objectives of this study involving a number of informants. Data collection is based on in-depth interview techniques, participatory observation, and document study. Qualitative data analysis through the stages of reduction, categories and classifications, determining themes, and drawing conclusions. The framework of cultural tourism theory in ecotourism, community-based cultural tourism, and management of cultural tourism management support analysis and writing. The results of this study are 2 forms of Using cultural tourism: tangible and intangible tours. Tangible tourist attraction objects are: Using home architecture, Using tourist parks, rice fields, Balai Paseban Buyut Chili, and culinary. Intangible attractions such as Using customs, life cycle ceremonies, and Using art. All forms of tourism are managed by the synergy of three components of Using tourism, namely: Using traditional institutions, Using tourism conscious groups (pokdarwis), and private parties. Using traditional institutions of representation of citizens of the Using community, Pokdarwis representation from the government, and private representation from investors. The form of development strategies such as the accessibility and amenities of tourism by the government, customs, traditions, and Using arts are synergies between local communities and government, marketing and human resources synergy tourism between local, government and private communities. Community and government participation is more dominant in its development. Internet support, and social media networks appear to play a lot in development, especially marketing, promotion, storytelling and service. The issue of conservation, preservation, and sustainability of Using tourism resources, has not been considered development because the economic aspects are the targets and objectives. In the future, the mainstreaming of this aspect is prioritized so that community-based Using cultural tourism and local wisdom can be dynamic in the global era.

THE PRODUCTION OF SPACE AND TOURISM IN CAROLINA - MARANHÃOLA PRODUCCIÓN DEL ESPACIO Y EL TURISMO EN CAROLINA - MARANHÃORESUMONeste artigo apresenta-se o contexto de Carolina, Maranhão, ante o turismo de natureza que pensa-se ecoturístico, cujos resultados se refletem no social e ambiental do espaço geográfico, o qual possui uma dinâmica de ocupação e de produção e (re)produção envolto de aspectos históricos que o consolidaram dentro da história do Estado. Outrora identificado por ser um importante entreposto comercial do rio Tocantins, apresenta atualmente outros usos, que agregam nova valorização ao espaço do município, a exemplo do turismo. A metodologia adotada para a compreensão desse processo incluiu além da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, o levantamento de campo e cartográfico, e entrevistas. Os resultados mostraram que o turismo em Carolina é uma das principais atividades econômicas e que tem crescido apesar dos problemas de ordenamento territorial, infraestrutura, degradação de ambientes naturais e aumento no número de atrativos nos últimos anos sem planejamento ou gestão que garantam um uso racional focado em sustentabilidade. Nesse sentido, foi possível concluir que a atividade turística é de suma importância para a economia municipal, mas que precisa da aplicação de políticas públicas para a organização do uso e cooperação entre os agentes da atividade.Palavras-chave: Turismo; Espaço; Carolina-MA.ABSTRACTThis article presents the context in Carolina, Maranhão, before the tourism of nature that is thought to be ecotourism, whose results are reflected in the social and environmental of the geographic space, which has a dynamic of occupation and production and (re)production of the space surrounded by historical aspects that consolidated it within the history of the State of Maranhão. Previously identified as an important commercial warehouse on the Tocantins River, it currently presents other uses, which add new value to the city's space, such as tourism. The methodology adopted to understand this process included bibliographical and documentary review, field and cartographic survey, and interviews. The results showed that tourism in Carolina is one of the main economic activities and that it has grown with problems of territorial planning, degradation of natural environments and increase in the number of attractions in recent years without planning. In this sense, it was possible to conclude that the activity is of great importance for the municipal economy, but that it needs the application of public policies for the organization of the use by the tourism and cooperation between the agents of the activity.Keywords: Turism; Space; Carolina-MA.RESUMENEn este artículo se presenta el contexto del turismo de naturaleza en Carolina, cuyos resultados se reflejan en los aspectos sociales y ambientales del espacio geográfico.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo, por meio de fontes secundárias através de registros, relatórios, publicações, revistas, entre outros, assim como a realização de pesquisa de campo através de um inventário na localidade. Desta maneira, tem como considerações finais que o ecoturismo pode se tornar uma alternativa viável de desenvolvimento socioeconômico para a comunidade, considerando que a mesma se apresenta em condições sociais desfavoráveis, seja nos aspectos de saúde, educação e trabalho. E ainda que o ecoturismo pode contribuir e promover, através de uma maior consciência ambiental, a conservação do ambiente natural de relevante beleza paisagística que revela um importantíssimo patrimônio paleontológico.
Ecotourism with alternative of socioeconomic developing in the Cajual Island, Alcântara (MA, Brazil)
ABSTRACT
This paper demonstrates the possibilities of developing ecotourism in Cajual Island, Alcântara (MA, Brazil), with a view to its natural heritage which includes attractions such as rivers, lakes, streams, beaches and mangroves, and Mesozoic fossiliferous deposits including dinosaurs, one of the largest ever found in Brazil. This is a qualitative research through secondary sources as records, reports, publications, magazines, etc., as well as conducting field research from an inventory in the locality. Thus, it presents as final considerations the fact that ecotourism can become a viable socio-economic development for the community, considering that it experiences unfavorable social conditions, whether in health issues, education or work. And that ecotourism can contribute and promote, through increased environmental awareness, conservation of the natural environment of relevant scenic beauty that reveals an important paleontological heritage.

This research aims to study local capacity through regulating the relationships between social, economic and environmental aspects, as well as measuring the sustainability of tourism management. The study was carried out in Ngadas village, Poncokusumo sub-district, Malang regency. The research approach uses surveys to explore qualitative and quantitative data. The method of analysis used path modeling (partly least square, PLS), and a multidimensional scale (MDS). Local capacity has successfully demonstrated the influence of institutions on environmental and economic variables. At the same time, social variables also affect economic variables, and economic variables affect the development of ecotourism. The relationship shows that economic variables become a bridge, which connects the indirect effect of social influence on the development of ecotourism. Measurement of the sustainability index on institutional variables is 41.30, social 36.57, environmental 43.01, and economic 41.76. All variables are categorized as less sustainable. Indicators to support sustainability include infrastructure, improving the village economy, availability of trash bins, protection from landslides, and communication.

Abstract. Situmorang ROP, Kuswanda W. 2019. Network mapping in the development of elephant conservation center in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 2858-2867. A project in the Aek Nauli Elephant Conservation Camp (ANECC) is being carried out to conserve Sumatran elephant handled by several institutions within the Ministry of Environmental and Forestry of Republic of Indonesia and other supporting stakeholders. A social networking analysis (SNA) had been carried out to analyze the social interactions of the stakeholders in the development of the ANECC. This research aimed at finding out the important actors in the network and describing at the social network gap in the development of ANECC objectives as conservation, and research, and ecotourism center. From the research, we found four institutions engaged in conservation, research, and animal health surveillance as the core actors and 19 other institutions as the periphery actors consisting of authorities, local government, businessmen, and local people. The study also found that the Environmental and Forestry Research and Development Institute Aek Nauli is the most influential actor in the network, and the National Planning Agency and Girsang Sipanganbolon Sub-district as the bridging actors who connect the supporting actors to the core actors. Conservation aspect is the most communicated in the network, followed by ecotourism, and research. Our research also found that conservation and research aspects have been handled by the appropriate institutions, however, ecotourism has not been handled by certain agencies responsible for the development of ecotourism. Hence, the study suggests that the core actors can consider binding cooperation with potential entrepreneurs on tourism around the site to develop ecotourism sector in ANECC.

Full textAbstract:
This article deals with the role of community-based ecotourism for strengthening human and social capitals as well as for enhancing culture and forest livelihood of riverbank dwellers in the Tapajós region, in central Amazonia. The research was done based on the premise that ecotourism can be a potential avenue for putting in evidence local culture, identity and singular lifestyles as while it can contribute to strengthen the local networks which can result in collective material and immaterial advantages. The analysis examines the hypothesis that outsiders (the tourists) once they travel to and stay with local communities, they become the primary agents who are in a position to perceive the main aspects of values, beliefs and routines as particularities of an Amazonian livelihood. Even though the visitors usually stay a few days in a certain community, they end up paying enough attention to what the locals tell and do. This way, the tourists involuntarily put the locals at the centre of their visit, to the extent the locals start realizing how important their forest lifestyle is. This argument certainly does not aim at validating the “spetacularisation” of forest people, of their environment and of their culture. Instead, the authors are rather interested in the processes through which outsiders can direct or indirectly – as ecotourism participants - contribute to improve the quality of life and to raise self-esteem of riverbank dwellers. Some Amazonian peoples (of remote areas) usually have a feeling of periphery and of marginalization, because they do not take part in the ‘developed metropolitan world’. The self-esteem factor gets relevance in an academic debate, because the Amazonian peoples hold a feeling of being periphery and marginal in reason of not being part of a ‘developed metropolitan world’; and this may cause adverse effects on their attitude and expectations. The investigation has a qualitative approach in order to produce descriptive data. Open and semi-structured interviews and participant observation were the main methods used for getting information from the riverbank dwellers.

Full textAbstract:
National nature reserve (NNR) is the important ecological baseline of the ecosystem security of the country. However, it is under the pressure of mass tourism, low participation of local community, and improper management. It is a matter of great urgency to determine strategies and tools in support of the balance between conservation and development of NNR. At present, the management system of NNR in China is a system where the country supervises and the local government manages. The perception of the NNR’s management aim has direct influence on the management efficiency and protection effect. In this paper, the issue with Matoushan National Nature Reserve in Jiangxi Province has been analyzed as an example. Local residents and administrators’ attitudes and perceptions of the management goals of the NNR were measured from three aspects: (1) response to current policies practiced in the reserve; (2) degrees of perception of community co-management; (3) expectation for future development of the reserve. Based on the measurement of community attitude and intention toward four dimensions of ecotourism and assessment of the values and current threats to Matoushan NNR, five sustainable development strategies have been put forward which involve ecological conservation and recovery, local culture revitalization, industry and program planning, educational tourism planning, and periphery development and management. Seeing the resources inside the reserve areas as a natural, cultural, social and economic asset, ecotourism planning is holistic by integrating the goals of natural resources conservation and those of social and economic improvement in revitalizing and managing NNR.

Objetivou-se fazer uma análise dos aspectos sociais, econômicos e ambientais visando perceber possíveis impactos ou contribuições que o desenvolvimento desta atividade econômica poderá gerar para a área em estudo, levando-se em consideração o real significado do termo desenvolvimento. Como um turismo de base comunitária tem de ser desejo da própria comunidade, é primordial a sua percepção sobre essa temática. Os dados demonstraram ser possível inferir que o turismo local tem servido como uma atividade econômica complementar para uma pequena parcela populacional da comunidade. A maioria da comunidade amostrada considera o turismo como uma boa opção de economia complementar. A partir dessa perspectiva, considera-se que o turismo pode ser utilizado como meio para valorizar os aspectos culturais, e o meio ambiente natural, através das interpretações empíricas da comunidade, sendo ainda necessária uma maior preparação desta, para o seu envolvimento. Isso poderá ser facilitado, através de políticas públicas direcionadas para o desenvolvimento e incentivo ao turismo local.
Ecotourism and etnotourism potentialities in the potiguara village of Tramataia, Environmental Protection Area of the Mamanguape River (PB, Brazil)
ABSTRACT
Ecotourism and the etnoturismo are two segments of tourism, which can be part of types of sustainable economic activities when thoughtful. Given the incipient but growing development of tourism in the study area, this paper discusses the possibility of the development of this activity in Potiguara village Tramataia located in the Environmental Protection Area (APA) of the river Mamanguape Bar, the middle region area of the forest, north coast of the state of Paraíba, in the town of Marcação. The objective to analyze the social, economic and environmental aspects in order to note possible impacts or contributions to the development of this economic activity could generate to the area being studied, taking into account the real meaning of the term development. The data shown to be possible to infer that the local tourism has served as a complementary economic activity to a small part of the population of the community. Most of the sampled community considers tourism as a good option to complement economy. From this perspective, it is considered that tourism can be used as a means to valorize the cultural aspects, and the natural environment, through community empirical interpretations, and still require further preparation of this, to their involvement in tourism development. This may be facilitated by public policies directed to the development of local tourism.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding local stakeholders' perception and their relation with the landscape and its natural resources is an important step for successfully implementing Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR). Here, we present a case study on FLR in the context of a global biodiversity hotspot—the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, using a participatory approach to include local stakeholders' knowledge and perception of the landscape into project planning. We analyzed the land use and cover, and organized a workshop with focus group methodology associated with maps and other visual representations to assess local perceptions of economic activities, production chains and their impacts on the landscape and ecosystem services. The study area encompasses seven municipalities mainly covered by native vegetation and pastures. Despite pastureland being the prominent land use in the region, they are not engaged in associations, most do not live in the region, and few participated in the workshop. Most participants were small and medium-scale landowners involved in agricultural activities who demonstrated a detailed knowledge of the territory, a disposition toward combining conservation with production practices, and a positive perception regarding ecotourism, agroecological approaches, water, and soil conservation. The participatory approach proved effective to complement the initial assessment while revealing novel aspects of the landscape and the landowners, helping test our hypotheses and adjust the engaging narratives for future FLR activities planning in the region, including environmental law compliance. More studies associating social and natural science, including participatory methods and local communities' perception, are needed to fully comprehend the drivers of stakeholders' engagement. This case study provides useful insights for other researchers and practitioners to design more effective plans for future land management.

O ecoturismo é considerado uma atividade geralmente de baixo impacto ambiental, orientado às localidades onde haja área de significativo valor ambiental e cultural. E, que pode, conforme suas atividades recreacionais e educativas, contribuir para a conservação da biodiversidade e sociodiversidade local. Neste sentido, o conceito de ecoturismo é apresentado como visita a ambientes naturais, tendo o mínimo de impacto por seus visitantes sobre a diversidade local. Exemplo disso é Jericoacoara, localizado à 320 km da capital Fortaleza (CE), onde sua diversidade, como um todo, é extremamente propícia a este segmento do turismo. Nele, se destaca o Parque Nacional de Jericoacoara (PNJ) apresentando uma área de 8.850,00 hectares que abrange oito ecossistemas. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever a percepção dos discentes do Curso de Turismo da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) a partir da visita técnica, como parte de suas atividades acadêmicas desenvolvidos durante o curso. A metodologia utilizada foi a partir da aplicação de questionário com perguntas semiestruturada e fechadas. Este foi direcionado à trilha realizada no PNJ. O público-alvo foram 27 discentes do Curso de Turismo da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA). A visita técnica foi realizada no mês de novembro de 2015. Após a coleta dos dados, estes foram inseridos na planilha do Office Excel. Posteriormente, os dados foram tabulados em valores absolutos, seguidamente calculados os valores relativos. Os resultados apontam que a maioria dos discentes nunca realizaram uma trilha, e informaram que a principal dificuldade encontrada durante a caminhada foram a elevada temperatura e o percurso longo. Dentre o principal aspecto natural que mais chamou a atenção foi a vegetação local, e que o local oferece risco de acidentes durante o percurso. Com relação ao lixo e saneamento local, a maioria informou que não percebeu nada de anormal durante a caminhada na trilha. Porém, com relação aos ruídos e vandalismo, as respostas foram positivas. E, para finalizar os discentes responderam que, do ponto ecoturístico, o local é bom para o desenvolvimento deste segmento. Deste modo, concluiu-se que os discentes do Curso de Turismo da UFPA apresentam boa percepção da trilha do PNJ, uma vez que durante o percurso a observação para diversos aspectos foram notadas, sejam elas positivas ou negativas; comprovando deste modo que o trabalho teórico realizado durante o curso tem aguçado a percepção dos discentes durante essas vistas técnicas.
The perception of the Jericoacoara National Park by UFPA tourism students
ABSTRACT
Ecotourism is considered a low environmental impact activity, guided to locations where there is area of significant environmental and cultural values. And it can contribute to the conservation of local biodiversity and social diversity, due to its recreational and educational activities. In this direction, the concept of ecotourism is presented as visiting natural environments, having minimal visitor impact on local diversity. An example of this is Jericoacoara, located 320 km from the capital Fortaleza (CE), where its diversity is extremely favorable to tourism activities. Inside of it, is also located the Jericoacoara National Park (JNP) an area of 8850.00 hectares consisting of eight ecosystems. The objective of this study is to describe the perception of tourism students of Federal University of Pará (UFPA), based upon a technical field trip, as part of their academic activities developed during their coursework. The methodology included a questionnaire with semi-structured and closed questions, which was applied during the trail at the JNP. The audience was 27 tourism students of UFPA. The field trip took place in November 2015. The collected data were inserted in the Excel Office spreadsheet, then tabulated and calculated their absolute and relative values. The results indicate that most of the students never walked on a trail and they reported that the main difficulties encountered during the walk were high temperature and the long itinerary. The natural aspect that drew the most attention was the local vegetation, but the environment offers risk of accidents during the itinerary. Regarding the waste and local sanitation, most of the students said that they did not see anything unusual while walking on the trail. However, with regard to noise and vandalism, the answers were affirmative. Finally, the students answered, based upon ecotourism perspective, that the area is adequate to the development of this activity. Thus, it was concluded that the students have a good perception of the JNP trail, because during the walk observations of many aspects were noted, whether positive or negative, proving thereby that the theoretical study done during the coursework has sharpened the perception of students during the field trip.

The goal of the work was to identify awareness-raising measures and prospects for the development of rural tourism in Ukraine. The following research methods are used to achieve this goal: historical - when studying the origins of the tourist industry in Ukraine; analysis and synthesis - in the study of the dynamics of tourism activities; abstract-logical - at generalization of theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of the problem being investigated. The article examines the current state of Rural Tourism and the tourism industry of Ukraine as a whole. A number of functions have been analysed and highlighted that the tourism industry performs in the national economy. The concept of rural tourism is based on a theoretical synthesis and rural areas, agro-tourism and ecotourism. It has been determined that all types of tourism can be developed in Ukraine but this potential is under-exploited and, as a consequence, the development of the tourism industry isn`t dynamic and doesn`t grow rapidly. Analyzing the current state of rural tourism in Ukraine, a number of disadvantages and advantages were identified. The prospects for the development of the tourism sector in Ukraine, including through the popularization of rural tourism, are revealed. Rural tourism is motivated by the desire to change load due to urban hypodynamy of the urban pace of life and desire for privacy and recreation in nature, the rejection of social constraints, introduction to the national characteristics of everyday life; use of environmentally friendly products in food, clothing, cosmetics. It is determined that in rural areas it is appropriate to jointly develop areas of ECO - and agro-tourism, based on the ever-increasing interest and need for environmentally friendly recreation areas and environmentally friendly products. During the study of this problem, a number of main components of rural tourism are identified and promising directions for the development of rural tourism are proposed. The practical significance lies in the fact that the proposed measures can be used in the development of regional strategies for rural development and during the popularization of rural tourism among the population of Ukraine and abroad.

A capacidade de carga turística (CCT) é um conceito amplamente utilizado na gestão do turismo em áreas naturais. Em cavernas turísticas brasileiras, a CCT vem sendo utilizada quase que unicamente para limitar a quantidade diárias de visitas em uma caverna. Na caverna Santana, diferentes limites diários de visitação foram obtidos em estudos desta natureza, trazendo incerteza para a gestão do atrativo. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma análise dos estudos de CCT realizados na caverna Santana, com base em revisão bibliográfica e documental e focando nos métodos utilizados, bem como suas lacunas e os resultados obtidos. Os resultados evidenciaram uma variação significativa nos estudos de CCT da caverna Santana, com limites diários de 117, 132, 135, 242, 270, 327, 378 e 1344 visitas por dia. Três destes resultados foram obtidos com o uso de métodos desenvolvidos especificamente para a caverna Santana (327, 378 e 1344 visitas/dia). Por outro lado, nenhum destes resultados foi validado com o uso de monitoramentos de longo prazo do ambiente cavernícola em relação aos impactos da visitação. Considerando os aspectos analisados pesquisa, as conclusões recomendam que o limite atual de 117 visitas/dia seja alterado por outro mais bem ajustado à realidade ambiental e social desta caverna turística. O limite atual deve ser substituído pelo resultado obtido no estudo mais preciso sobre CCT realizado na caverna – 378 visitas/dia –, bem como devem ser estabelecidos protocolos de monitoramento das principais variáveis recomendadas no método de capacidade de carga do Plano de Manejo Espeleológico da caverna: temperatura do ar, dióxido de carbono e a distribuição da fauna subterrânea. Estas modificações sugeridas poderão ajudar aos pesquisadores e gestores na obtenção de uma resposta mais acurada sobre os limites de visitação da caverna Santana.
Between 117 and 1344: what is the tourist carrying capacity of Santana cave (PETAR, SP, Brazil)?
ABSTRACT
Tourist carrying capacity (TCC) is a concept widely applied to management of tourism in natural areas. In Brazilian show caves, TCC is used just to limit the daily number of visitors. In Santana cave, different limits of visitors were obtained in several studies, giving uncertainty to the cave managers. The purpose of this article is to show an analysis of all studies about TCC in Santana cave, based in secondary data and focusing in the used methods and related gaps and results of each research. The results show a range of variation of 117, 132, 135, 242, 270, 327, 378 and 1344 visitors per day in Santana cave. Three of these numbers were obtained using methods that were developed specifically to Santana cave (327, 378 and 1344 visitors/day). Otherwise, any of these limits were still analyzed using long-term monitoring of environment in relation to the impact of visitors. Considering this, it was recommended to change the present daily limit of 117 visitors/day for another one which gives a better adjustment with the environmental and social aspects of this show cave. The current limit should be replaced for the result obtained in the most accurate study made in the cave – 378 visitors/day – and establish monitoring protocols of the main variables recommended in the carrying capacity method of the Plan of Speleological Management of the cave: air temperature, carbon dioxide and subterranean fauna distribution. These modifications could help the researchers and managers to improve the answer to the question about the limit of visitation of Santana cave.
