Full textAbstract:
This study examines solutions to interpretive challenges at dark tourism sites. The academic field of dark tourism explores travel to and the nature of heritage sites that have gained significance from a past of tragedy and suffering. Due to the sensitive nature of such sites there are a number of inherent interpretive challenges. Through research including interviews and site visits, interpretive methods which effectively confront these inherent challenges are identified. Gaining significance from its past as a place of exile for Hansen's disease (leprosy) patients, Kalaupapa National Historical Park remains the home of about 10 patients. Once there are no longer patients living on the peninsula the responsibility to interpret this story falls to land management agencies. Utilizing the methods identified to confront dark tourism challenges, interpretation at Kalaupapa and other dark tourism sites can be systematically approached to ensure an authentic and respectful interpretive program.

Full textAbstract:
Although the GRC National Historical Park, Vincennes, Indiana, has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1966, its development as an Historic Designed Landscape had never been thoroughly researched. Archival research and a field survey of the site evaluated the existing conditions of the grounds and structures to determine their historical significance, integrity and physical condition.The George Rogers Clark Memorial, the park grounds, and other structures and features in and near the park setting were determined to be a historic designed landscape that used formal, classical design principles in a response to the City Beautiful Movement, popular at the beginning of this century, to memorialize the achievements of a man and people significant to our national history.An analysis comparing the historic plans and designers' intent for the park to the existing conditions has resulted in a rehabilitation recommendation for the park that includes the process for returning the park to its original design and an advocation for the development of the historic park setting.<br>Department of Landscape Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on how cultural heritage interpretation can effectively be planned and operated as an integral part of preservation process. The ICOMOS Charter for the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites, which was initiated by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), offers professional principles for effectively interpreting cultural heritage sites. This study apply these principles as analysis and evaluation criteria of the case study. The Charter principles include &lsquo<br>access and understanding&rsquo<br>, soundness of &lsquo<br>information sources&rsquo<br>, attention to &lsquo<br>setting and context&rsquo<br>, preservation of &lsquo<br>authenticity&rsquo<br>, planning for &lsquo<br>sustainability&rsquo<br>, concern for &lsquo<br>inclusiveness&rsquo<br>, and importance of &lsquo<br>research, evaluation and training&rsquo<br>.
Considering the necessity of correlating these international principles with interpretation practices, this study analyzes and assesses interpretation at the Boston National Historical Park, a unit of the National Park Service in the US<br>and at the same time tests the practicality of the Charter principles. This park is composed of eight nationally significant historical sites located separately in an urban context.
This study examines certain aspects of the park that affect the effectiveness of its interpretation activities i.e., management policies, organizational model, partnerships with stakeholders, fiscal resources, management planning, and interpretive planning. Besides on-site interpretation at three sites of the park - the Charlestown Navy Yard, Old South Meeting House and Paul Revere House- are analyzed in detail within to the ICOMOS Charter framework.
Finally, recommendations have been developed for the ongoing work of the
ICOMOS, for the Boston National Historical Park as well as for other cultural
heritage sites.

Lizza, Kaitlyn. "Historical and Current Population Patterns of the Staghorn Coral (_Acropora cervicornis_) in Dry Tortugas National Park." Scholar Commons, 2015. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/5728.
Full textAbstract:
Acropora cervicornis was once one of the dominant reef building corals of the Caribbean, Florida Keys, and Dry Tortugas (DRTO), but since the 1970’s populations have been decimated throughout their geographic range. Recently, a repopulation was documented through detailed benthic surveys conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey at three locations (Pulaski Shoal, East Key, and Loggerhead Key) within DRTO. Benthic surveys using the U.S Geological Survey’s Along-Track Reef Imaging System (ATRIS) revealed hundreds of previously undocumented colonies.
These discoveries have provided a unique data-set, allowing a comparison between the historical (1883, 1976) and contemporary distributions (2009, 2011) of A. cervicornis. Kernel density estimates were used to analyze shifts in high density areas and non-parametric multivariate analysis of variance tests were used to analyze differences between years in location and extent of the distribution. The results from the KDEs indicated high density areas have shifted among year’s at all three study areas. The comparison of the location and extent of the historical and modern A. cervicornis distributions revealed similarities and differences among years that varied among the study areas. This information is important to the management of this species because it provides vital information on the extent and location of the current distribution relative to historical levels. This study also provides documentation of the population dynamics and ecosystem changes over large time scales within the DRTO region.
The above mentioned dataset was also used in a second study to quantify 1) variations in density among factors such as location (study area), suitable habitat type, and water depth, 2) overall spatial population patterns, and 3) spatial patterns in A. cervicornis density. Results indicated population structure was significantly clustered (P = 0.001) at Pulaski Shoal and Loggerhead Key with areas containing hotspots or significantly higher density (P < 0.05). Although significant hotspots existed, density did not significantly differ among suitable habitat types. Compared to all other factors, water depth had the largest effect on the variation in mean density of A. cervicornis. These findings are vital to understanding the recovery of this species in terms of current habitat and depth associations.

Full textAbstract:
Civil Engineering<br>M.S.Env.E.<br>In the current century, the most critical crises faced by human kind will likely be climate change, shortage of energy supplies, and pollution of the environment. A large variety of contaminants are susceptible to be released in the environment from households and from agricultural and industrial activities. During the last decades, physical, chemical, and biological technologies have been developed for pollution remediation and for assessing the extent of environmental contamination in water resources. Because of the large diversity of contaminants, the systematic and comprehensive analysis of elemental and compound pollutants cannot practically be conducted over an extensive network of water bodies. As a consequence, large-scale surface water monitoring programs frequently rely on biological assessment protocols based on macroinvertebrates, microalgae, or fishes, allowing to integrate the impact of many potential contaminants into single indices that are easy to interpret. However, standard bioassessment protocols are currently based on the morphological identification of representative sets of indicator organisms, which requires extensive stream sampling and laboratory observation in the laboratory and taxonomic identification. These operations are time- and personnel-consuming and require a great deal of experience. In this project, we have developed and validated an innovative water quality bioindicator based on the metagenomic analysis of the total prokaryotic microbial community in the water. Microorganisms are essential components of the aquatic ecosystem and their diversity, nature, and distribution typically reflect variations of the environmental conditions and water quality parameters. Although conventional, cultivation-based methods for microbial characterization are important in investigating the microbial communities, they are time and resources consuming. New polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular methods, such as metagenomic pyrosequencing, have the potential to quickly provide the detailed information on the microbial communities present in any environment. Advanced bioinformatics computing in connection with the resources of extensive genomic databases allow providing the detailed distribution of the microbial species present in the samples, which, in this project, was used as a fingerprint of water quality. The proposed research has been conducted using water samples collected from the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park (CHOH) in Maryland. Comprehensive characterization of the aquatic bacterial communities has been performed using metagenomic pyrosequencing. In parallel, a suite of relevant water quality parameters were monitored in the samples using standard methods. Using redundancy analyses (RDA), meaningful relationships were established between water characteristics and the metagenomic biomarker, showing its potential utilization as a general water quality indicator. This study provides the basis for the development of an innovative method for the fast and cost-effective assessment of water quality based on the aquatic prokaryotic microbiome. Phylogenetic analyses conducted on the metagenomic data revealed that the dominant prokaryotic phyla detected in the 19 samples are similar to the ones typically detected in freshwater environments. Microbial diversity indices showed that all 2012 samples were characterized by a low biodiversity, while 2013 samples were characterized by a higher diversity, which is likely the result of different meteorological conditions in 2012 and 2013. Clustering analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) were conducted to investigate the relationships between the relative abundance of the prokaryotic phyla and water quality parameters. The results showed that the samples collected from the same sites in different years cluster well together when compared based on the water quality parameters. On the contrary, the samples collected in 2012 made a separate group of cluster and same is true for 2013 samples when compared based on the prokaryotic phyla. These observations suggest a larger temporal variation of the microbial communities than the physico-chemical parameters of the water. PCA focusing on prokaryotic communities showed that Proteobacteria and Bacteroides phyla, including aerobic heterotrophic, fast growing bacteria – referred to as copiotrophic or 'r-type' organisms --, cluster together. On the other hand, the other phyla, including mostly anaerobic and/or autotrophic, slow growing bacteria – referred to as oligotropic or 'K-type' organisms --, form a rather distinct cluster. The dependence of the prokaryotic relative abundance on the water quality parameters for the 19 samples was then interrogated using RDA. As showed by PCA investigations, the r-type phyla cluster together and correlate with high alkalinity and conductivity. On the contrary, the K-type phyla cluster together and correlate collectively with sulfate and nitrate. As expected, the copiotrophic, fast-growing, r-type phyla also correlate with the stream samples, while the oligotrophic, slow-growing, K-type phyla correlate better with spring, cave, and mine samples. This study provides the basis for the development of an innovative method for the fast and cost-effective assessment of water quality based on the prokaryotic microbiome.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full textAbstract:
This project laid the groundwork for an Internet-delivered Public Participation Geographic Information System to facilitate exploration and discovery of the past communities of the Mammoth Cave Park area. The emergence of Internet Web 2.0 design along with distributed GIS services allows for anyone to interact with and add to the information found on central Internet sites. Historical geography often relies upon public participation from individuals outside the academic world to provide narrative descriptions, photographs and manuscripts of past places and events to augment information held by institutions and academia. A public-participation website for the Mammoth Cave Historic GIS (MCHGIS) created a central Internet location for dispersed and disparate data related to pre-park communities to be presented with a geographic context. The MCHGIS project allowed for visualization of the pre-park communities in unique ways and contributed new understandings of this pre-park area.

Full textAbstract:
With Anglo settlement of southern Arizona in the late 1800s, fire regimes were altered dramatically. Currently, desert scrub has experienced a dramatic rise in frequency and size of wildfire which may remove fire-intolerant perennials that define the community structure. On the contrary, woodlands and forests now contain excessive fuel build up and require prescribed burning to restore the system's balance. These opposing attitudes reflect the conundrum of how to manage naturally occurring fires, or where and when to initiate prescribed burning to recreate each vegetation community's "natural" fire regime. To resolve this dilemma, there is need to discern natural fire histories by collecting specific baseline data such as where, when and how the landscape has burned. This research has been focused on the design and development of a relational database, and the incorporation of a geographic information system to develop a system that can be used to fulfill this need.

Full textAbstract:
<p> This dissertation traces the history of cattle grazing at Saguaro NP, Organ Pipe Cactus NM and Fort Bowie NHS in southern Arizona. This collection of studies examines the factors affecting that use, the ranchers who made their living from the landscape, and the federal land managers responsible for sustaining the natural and cultural resources. </p><p> A dominant industry on arid public lands since the Civil War, grazing was altered by a variety of influences: environmental and human-derived. Ranching communities developed from homesteading settlements. Success was determined by climate, topography, and natural resources; social and cultural pressures; economic events and political legislation; and later federal regulations and decisions. </p><p> The first agency to oversee grazing, USFS was under constant pressure to maximize short-term human benefits. The NPS Organic Act of 1916 mandated conservation of natural resources "by such means as will leave them unimpaired for future generations" and yet approved cattle grazing, an extractive use, under USFS management. Park managers were frustrated by grazing practices not under their control. Parks were at a cultural and social disadvantage. Residents and politicians often expressed displeasure at park reservations; communities feared that parks would interfere with local industries. </p><p> Park employees supervised visitors and developed recreation infrastructure; they came with little experience to manage livestock. Lack of funding for research, limited manpower, and political and administrative interference allowed cattle grazing to continue unregulated for decades altering vegetation and enhancing erosion. In the 1960s, changing values from the environmental movement, the waning power of the livestock industry, and the rise of activist scientists impelled NPS to act. Without monitoring data, NPS turned to legal opinions to terminate grazing. </p><p> Now grazing is regulated and carefully monitored. NPS is mandated to incorporate research results into management decisions. Older grazing permits are being retired, but land acquisitions for park additions add new management challenges. Purchasing permits offers a new but financially limited opportunity to protect sensitive lands. Grazing has ended at all three parks, yet ecological changes and historic structures remain. As cultural and administrative legacies, those remnants offer opportunities to interpret a significant regional tradition and an untold controversy.</p>

Koch, Frank Henry Jr. "A Comparison of Digital Vegetation Mapping and Image Orthorectification Methods Using Aerial Photography of Valley Forge National Historical Park." NCSU, 2001. http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/theses/available/etd-20010417-180334.
Full textAbstract:
<p>In recent years, mapping software utilizing scanned?or ?softcopy??aerial photographs has become widely available. Using scanned photos of Valley Forge (PA) National Historical Park, I explored some of the latest tools for image processing and computer-based vegetation mapping. My primary objective was to compare different approaches for their efficiency and accuracy. In keeping with the USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program protocol, I classified the park?s vegetation according to The Nature Conservancy?s National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS).<p>Initially, I scanned forty-nine 1:6000 color-infrared air photos of the area at 600 dpi using an Epson desktop scanner. I orthorectified the images by two different methods. First, I did so on a single-image basis using ERDAS Imagine. In this approach, United States Geological Survey (USGS) Digital Ortho Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQ) and a 10-meter Digital Elevation Model (DEM) served as references for between seven and twelve ground control points per photo. After achieving a root mean square error (RMSE) of less than 1 meter for an image, I resampled it into an orthophoto. I then repeated the process using Imagine Orthobase. Via aerial triangulation, Orthobase generated an RMSE solution for the entire block of images, which I resampled into orthophotos using a batch process. <p> Positional accuracies were remarkably similar for image mosaics I created from the single-image as well as the Orthobase orthophotos. For both mosaics, planimetric x-coordinate accuracy met the U.S. National Map Accuracy Standard for Class 1 maps, while planimetric y-coordinate accuracy met the Class 2 standard. However, the Orthobase method is faster?reducing process time by 50%?and requires 20% (or less) of the ground control points necessary for the single-image method.<p>I delineated the park?s vegetation to the formation level of the NVCS. Using ESRI ArcMap, I digitized polygons of homogeneous areas observed from the orthophotos. This on-screen mapping approach was largely monoscopic, though I verified some areas using a scanning stereoscope and the original hard-copy photos. The minimum mapping unit (MMU) was 0.5 acres (ac), smaller than that recommended by the USGS-NPS protocol. Based on field data, thematic accuracy for this map met the National Map Accuracy Standard of 80%. Misestimation of the hydrologic period of certain polygons resulted in some classification errors, as did confusion between evergreen and deciduous vegetation. <p>In addition to orthophotos, Orthobase creates a stereo block viewable in ERDAS Stereo Analyst, a digital stereoscopic software package. Using Crystal Eyes? eyewear and a high-refresh-rate monitor, a user can observe imagery full screen, three-dimensionally. Features delineated on the images are stored in ESRI shapefile format. I created a preliminary vegetation map at the alliance level of the NVCS with this software. Thematic accuracy of this map will be known when assessment is completed this summer. Notably, the classification scheme has required revision to accommodate the anthropogenically altered landscape of Valley Forge. <p>Nevertheless, it is clear that Stereo Analyst offers advantages for vegetation and other types of mapping. Stereoscopic view and sharp zoom-in capabilities make photo interpretation straightforward. Because features are delineated directly into a GIS, Stereo Analyst cuts process time by 70% and avoids two steps that can introduce errors in conventional mapping methods (i.e., transfer to map base and digitizing). Perhaps most importantly, joint use of Orthobase and Stereo Analyst allows simultaneous orthophoto creation and GIS data collection; in contrast, the ArcMap approach requires finished orthophotos before features can be delineated. Ultimately, though, both monoscopic and stereoscopic methods have roles in vegetation mapping projects. The level of detail required for the project should determine which technique is most appropriate. <P>

Full textAbstract:
America's National Historic Preservation Act promotes the conservation of irreplaceable sites such as Nicodemus, Kansas, an African American town founded by former slaves in 1877. The collaboration of the National Park Service (NPS) and civic partners is essential to meet the goal of preserving historic properties in Nicodemus and other minority communities. Although the NPS designated 5 Nicodemus buildings as a National Historic Site (NHS) in 1996, the few remaining residents struggle to preserve the site and attract visitors. The purpose of this ethnographic study was to explore the effects of NPS policies related to African American historic and cultural preservation. Research questions focused on the consequences of the NHS designation in Nicodemus and options for NPS policy improvement. This study was inspired by Innes and Booher's theory of complex adaptive systems and consensus building. Data were collected through interviews with 11 residents, educators, and representatives of the NPS. These data were inductively coded and then subjected to thematic analysis. Key findings indicate concerns about limited resources, NPS open competition hiring policies that do not promote the long-term employment of Nicodemus descendant-residents in spite of their ability to recount oral histories, a need for cross-cultural training in the NPS, and the inadequate promotion of the Nicodemus NHS. This study may lead to positive social change by emphasizing the need for the NPS to collaborate with the descendants and long-term residents of rural communities to preserve the historical legacy of African Americans and emphasize the strength of our nation's diversity.

Cannon, Kelly June. "Fort Clatsop National Memorial: A Study in Historic Preservation." PDXScholar, 1994. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4719.
Full textAbstract:
Fort Clatsop National Memorial is a unit of the National Park Service in Clatsop County, Oregon. The memorial was established by an Act of Congress in 1958 to commemorate the culmination and 1805-1806 winter encampment of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The memorial centers around a replicated fort structure. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the process of preserving historic sites under the National Park Service (NPS) by examining the history of Fort Clatsop National Memorial. Through this examination it is possible to understand the realities of the national preservation system and the ideals fostered by those involved in the system. The Fort Clatsop site became the subject of folk history in Clatsop County, which culminated in a community movement for national recognition. During the community sponsored l 50th anniversary celebration of the Expedition, local civic groups built the existing fort replica. The management needs of the replica caused the site owner, the Oregon Historical Society (OHS), to actively pursue national recognition. To achieve the creation of a national memorial, OHS and community members enlisted the help of Senator Richard L. Neuberger. Senator Neuberger drafted and successfully sponsored legislation for the creation of the memorial. Since the memorial's creation in '1958, the site has been under the management of the National Park Service (NPS). As a historical, commemorative unit, the NPS is responsible under the 193 5 Historic Sites Act for presenting the history of the Expedition to the public. Such historic interpretation includes the use of costumed demonstrations, exhibits, and other interpretive media. Fort Clatsop also represents the ideals of education and inspiration in NPS interpretive policies. In conclusion, the examination of Fort Clatsop illustrates factors involved in the creation of historic sites within the NPS and how private individuals and Congress affect the selection of historic sites for preservation. While illustrating how the private sector and Congress can decide what historic sites are preserved under the park system, this examination also illustrates how the park system handles those sites placed under its management and how NPS management helps shape public memory.

It presents a description of the over 156 archaeological projects that have taken place within Park during that time. It also presents an analysis of that work from the perspective of examining how the National Park Service managed archaeological resources in the Park.
This research found that management of archaeological resources in the Park has been dictated by a number of things: the expansion and increasing sophistication of cultural resource management, the evolution of archaeological theory and methods, and the Park's own management plan and development strategy. The research found that the past forty years have seen profound changes in the way the Park perceived archaeology. It has evolved from regarding archaeology merely a means to fill in gaps in the historical record to a view of the archaeological resource as something considerable more complex.
The conclusion of the report is that until recent years, archaeological management at Minute Man has lagged at least a decade behind the highest standards of the preservation community and the standards of archaeological method and theory. In the past fifteen years, however, the Park has aggressively pursued archaeological investigations as a means of dealing with the expanding resource base, enriching its interpretation, and increasing public awareness of the richness and variety of its resources.

This ethnographic overview documents the contemporary values of American Indians regarding Fajada Butte. The study defines which Indian tribes have traditional or historic cultural ties to Fajada Butte and Chaco Culture National Historical Park (NHP). The study was funded by the National Park Service on September 15, 1992, and was managed by the New Mexico State Historic Preservation Office. The ethnographic overview is focussed on two broad issues: (1) Fajada Butte and its significance to American Indian people and (2) the traditional use of plants and their cultural significance to American Indian people. An additional goal of this study is to contribute information about to the process of general tribal -park consultation including Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.
This study documented that 11 tribes and pueblos have cultural relationships with Fajada Butte and Chaco Culture NHP. American Indians feel a contemporary identification with the Fajada Butte and Chaco Culture NHP. There are three main ways for expressing this identification (1) direct descent ties, (2) tribal ties, and (3) ethnic ties. No tribal or pueblo representatives expressed knowledge of living families who are direct descendants from the people of Chaco; however, many of them stated that Chaco people were their direct ancestors. All tribes and pueblo representatives who participated in the on -site visit claimed tribal or pueblo ties to the people of Chaco.
The research also was concerned with the plant life of the area both on and around Fajada Butte. This study documented the American Indian traditional use placess around Fajada Butte and elsewhere in Chaco Canyon. All Indian representatives expressed the desire that the park continues to protect these plants from disturbance and emphasized the need to have a park-wide ethnobotanical study.

Full textAbstract:
Before the creation of Mammoth Cave National Park, this area was home to numerous communities, each with a sense of identity. To prepare for the creation of the National Park, all residents living within these communities were relocated, and many of these communities were lost to the passage of time. Today, public memory of these lost communities is being fostered by the descendents of the pre-park area.
Through the use of a Historical Geographic Information System, 1920 Edmonson County manuscript census data, and statistical analysis, the demographic composition of these lost communities was explored. This project not only brought to light a past that is not well known, but also built interest in sustaining public memory of the Mammoth Cave pre-park area through the use of historical GIS and public participation.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The official custodian of the Cape Peninsula mountain chain, located at the centre of Cape Town, is the
Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). This park is South Africa’s only urban open-access park and has
been declared a World Heritage Site. This thesis is an anthropological and historical examination of the
past and present conservation of the Cape Peninsula . I provide an overview of the relationship between
the urban environment and the Cape Peninsula aiming to illustrate the produced character of the
mountains and its mediation in power relations. This study of custodianship reveals that protecting and
conserving the Cape Peninsula is shaped by the politics of the urban and natural environment as well as
by the experience of living in the city. As such, official and unofficial custodianship is informed by class
and race differentiations, embedded in the politics of identity, responsive to the local and national
political transformations in governance and connected to the urban struggles of the marginalised
Capetonians. Furthermore, inherent in the notion of custodianship is the social appropriation of the Cape
Peninsula which was shown to produce specific ideological representations of nature.
The thesis presents an ethnographic study of Hangberg, a poor neighbourhood situated at the border of the
TMNP. There, the encroachments and poaching within the park boundaries is addressed by focussing on
the competing discourses between biodiversity, entitlement and heritage. The engagements between the
TMNP, the state and Hangberg on the issues of conservation reveal the distinct complexities of running a
national park in a city beset with inequalities. My focus on these engagements also illustrates that the
manifestation of ‘community’ is a construction contingent upon circumstances which reflect a meaningful
and political relationship between identity, citizenship and place, rather than a homogeneous group of
people.
I conclude with the idea that in attempting to make the park socially and racially equitable, urban
conservation ought to begin to recognise its distinct urban character in the larger socio-environmental
framework of the city.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die offisiële beskermheer van die Kaapse Skiereiland Bergreeks, geleë in die sentrum van Kaapstad, is

huidige en geskiedkundige beskerming van die Kaapse Skiereiland. ’n Oorsig van die verhouding tussen
die stedelike omgewing en die Kaapse Skiereiland ontbloot die geproduseerde karakter van die bergreeks
en die bemiddeling daarvan in magsverhoudinge. ’n Studie van die beskermheerders van die Kaapse
Skiereiland toon aan dat die beskerming en bewaring van die bergreeks (of dele daarvan) afhanklik is van
die stedelike en nasionale politieke klimaat en die ervaring van ’n stedelike lewe. Sodoende word offisiële
en nie-offisiële kuratorskap as klas- en ras-onderskeibaar, ingebed in identiteitspolitiek, verwant aan die
plaaslike en nasionale politieke transformasies in die regering, en verbonde aan die stryd van armes in
Kaapstad gedefinieer. Verder, inherent aan kuratorskap is die sosiale toe-eiening van die Kaapse
Skiereiland wat spesifieke ideologiese voorstellings van die natuur in die stad produseer.
Die tesis bied’n etnografiese studie van Hangberg aan, ’n arm woonbuurt geleë op die grens van die TNP.
Ek bespreek die onwettige behuising en stropery binne die park se grense deur te fokus op die
kompeterende diskoerse tussen biodiversiteit, regte en erfenis. Die onderhandelinge tussen die TNP, die
staat, en Hangberg in verband met die kwessies rondom bewaring ontbloot die spesifieke kompleksiteit
daarvan om ’n nasionale park in ’n stad geteister deur ongelykhede te bestuur. Hierdie fokus illustreer dat
‘gemeenskap’ manifesteer as ’n konstruksie wat afhanklik is van omstandighede en dui op ’n
betekenisvolle en politieke verhouding tussen identiteit, burgerskap en plek, eerder as ’n homogene groep.
Ek sluit af met die idee dat in ’n poging om die TNP meer sosiaal- en ras-inklusief te maak, behoort
stedelike bewaring die spesifieke stedelike karakter daarvan te erken in die groter
sosialeomgewingsraamwerk van die stad.

Theme of my work is arguable for the cities which are situated near the river. Riverbanks are really nice public space but a lot of them are not "designed for people". Before I started do this work I was thinking about places which are ignored or overlooked in Znojmo town. Yes, town has a lot of places which are interesting and need "new face". There are brownfiels but problems of these localities was designed many times. And I wanted to find some new way, try restore and improve public space in connecting by the river. I chose locality which connect two important buildings – Znojmo castle and Louka monastery. There is needed to improve connection this locality to town centre.

As specific objectives: to verify, analyze and unveil the conception that the traditional peoples that reside in the area of coverage of the Everglades National Park have about the health-disease process; verify, analyze and reveal if the traditional peoples who live in the area covered by the Everglades National Park correlate the health-disease process with the implementation of the Evergreen National Park; verify, analyze and reveal the meanings and meanings attributed to the implantation of the Evergreen National Park by the traditional peoples residing in the area covered by it. The research was carried out in the area covered by the Evergreen National Park located in the northeastern region of the state of Minas Gerais. For the construction of this study, three women representatives from different communities were interviewed. The centralized and recurrent semi-structured interview was the technique of obtaining the information. The analysis of Nuclei of Meanings and the analysis of the Thematic Nuclei were the analytical strategies used. All the ethical precepts of Resolution 466/12 were adhered to and guaranteed. In seeking to unveil the relationship between Evergreens National Park and the disease process of affected peoples, it was necessary to understand where the knowledge and practices related to health care came from, what the concept of health-disease adopted by these peoples, this search led us to the grandparents, great-grandparents, great-grandparents holding the knowledge and practices related to health care, in which they safeguard a social patrimony loaded with meanings attributed by the native peoples of these lands. We find that the overlapping of the Evergreen National Park in traditionally occupied lands caused psychic suffering triggered by the fear and acts of violence to which they were subjected. In addition, the repression of the activities of the inhabitants represents the rupture with the existence of these peoples and as a consequence, leads to illness.

Full textAbstract:
The Cultural Landscape Inventory is a comprehensive inventory of all historically significant landscapes within the National Park Service. This cultural landscape inventory documents the Johnson Settlement Area at the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park in Johnson City, Texas. The Johnson Settlement Area served as the headquarters for former president Lyndon B. Johnson’s paternal grandparents, Samuel Ealy Johnson and Eliza Bunton’s, open-range cattle ranch from 1867 through 1872. After the collapse of the cattle ranching enterprise, the land was sold to James Polk Johnson and later converted into a small-scale farm by John Bruckner. From 1970 through 1972, Lyndon B. Johnson was involved with the planning, acquisition, and donation of a portion of the original settlement property to the National Park Service. In 1972, a major restoration and reconstruction project was completed as the property was converted into an historic interpretive landscape administered by the National Park Service. The Johnson Settlement Area is primarily an open pastoral landscape with reconstructed livestock corrals and a cluster of restored and reconstructed building and structures that collectively convey the ranching and frontier heritage of former president Lyndon B. Johnson.
The cultural landscape inventory documents the physical development and historical significance of the Johnson Settlement Area. The inventory evaluates the landscape characteristics of the district and considers the integrity and overall condition of this historic vernacular landscape. Further, the inventory assesses eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. The Johnson Settlement Area Cultural Landscape Inventory expands the 1990 National Register of Historic Places nomination in its period of significance, boundaries and acreage, and National Register Criteria.<br>text

Full textAbstract:
Bovine Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most serious animal health problems in the world. In Manitoba, especially in the Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP) region, this disease has threatened both wildlife and domestic cattle during the past 75 years. This study provided a detailed historical overview of the status of Bovine TB in the RMNP ecosystem and the province of Manitoba. Past and present Bovine TB testing, controlling and eradication practices that included seven programs implemented by both the federal and provincial governments in Canada were documented in order to better understand Bovine TB programs in Manitoba. Disease transmission between free ranging ungulates in the RMNP ecosystem was examined to clarify the origin of Bovine TB outbreaks. According to historical records, some 20 bison were first introduced into RMNP in 1931 from a herd at National Buffalo Park, Wainwright, Alberta. In 1937, one of the bison kept in the Bison Enclosure, RMNP, was found dead from Bovine TB. For the following 20 years efforts to eliminate Bovine TB in the RMNP area continued until the infected bison population was destroyed and replaced with Bovine TB-negative animals from Elk Island National Park in Alberta. The details of how Bovine TB may have been introduced into the free ranging ungulates in the RMNP ecosystem and how this disease was dealt with by the RMNP & National Park Bureau were documented. Three plausible explanations were found: 1) cattle transmitted the disease to the elk population once they contacted each other through different ways; 2) Bovine TB disease was transferred to the released elk from the bison herd, although staff did not have access to these animals as readily for testing as for the bison herd in the Bison Enclosure, RMNP ecosystem; 3) confinement of over-populated wildlife in a small area increased the chance of Bovine TB spreading within the herds, and that made further diagnosis and eradication more difficult and complicated.

In this research, base on the approach called Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), we bring up several suggestions and strategies of modifications for AHNHP’s improvement. This approach uses questionnaire and the targets are the tourists who visit AHNHP. The effective samples are 407. The results of the study are as follows:
1.Tourists basic information:
Majority of these tourists live in south part of Taiwan, and they are mostly unmarried female college students whose average monthly income range is from $20,000 to $30,000, and age range is from 20 to 29. Tourists traveling characteristics:
1.Majority of them ever been to AHNHP for four times or more, and their ways for transportation mostly depends on personal compact cars. They visit AHNHP mostly because their friends and relatives recommend it; hence their companions are either friends or schoolmates. Most visitors stay in half of a day at the park.
2.Tourists Travel motivations:
There are seven elements which are extracted from Factor Analysis. These elements are “Relax”, “Self-achievement”, “Knowledge-pursuing”, “Mind ownership”, “Healthy body and mind”, “Social interaction” and “Local characteristics”.
3.The first three important facilities in AHNHP refer to the tourists’ opinions are “sanitary”, “trash can installation”, and “walkway and driveway installation”.
4.The top three satisfactions in AHNHP refer to tourists’ opinions are “the historic monuments”, “the Riverbank Park”, and “the traditional constructions and streets”.
5.Based on IPA, the result shows that “the eco-landscape”, “parking lots”, “trashcan installation”, “sanitary”, “walkway and driveway installation”, and “the visitor information center” are six items which need some modifications for improvement.
6.The result shows that if the tourist basic information and the travel characteristics are different (age, marital status, education, occupation, average monthly income, inhabited area, frequency of visiting, traveling information, and time they are going to stay), then the travel motivation would have a significant difference. If the tourist basic information and the travel characteristics are different (age, marital status, education, occupation, average monthly income, inhabited area, frequency of visiting, traveling information, and time they are going to stay), then the visitor satisfaction would have a significant difference.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立金門大學<br>建築學系<br>104<br>Due to the battleground administrative period in its history, Kinmen has preserved the valuable spaces of many Min Nan (literally south Fujianese) style buildings, western style buildings, traditional settlements, and military heritages. In an attempt to preserve Kinmen’s historical relics and natural landscapes, Ministry of the Interior has established Kinmen National Park in 1995, and at the same time expropriated settlements’ traditional buildings for repair and reuse under a superficies. Many abandoned traditional buildings in the settlements had to be repaired. In reality, however, buildings were repaired individually without an overall and comprehensive plan to renovate the settlements’ structures and to preserve the landscape of surrounding areas.
In recent years, the concept of ecomuseum has been widely rooted in the local communities. Therefore, the preservation and development of natural landscape as well as cultural heritages have to be contemplated comprehensively and entirely, hoping to establish an ecomuseum and thereby examine the redevelopment mode designed for Kinmen National Park’s diversified historical buildings and spaces from a new standpoint.
Based on the discussions stated above, this study focused on the redevelopment of Kinmen National Park’s historical buildings and spaces, examined the current status of Kinmen National Park’s redevelopment based on literature review, field research and interviews, investigated the relationship between the changes of redevelopment policy and the changes of substantial spaces, explored the relationship between the settlements’ organizational operations and the settlements, and identified the roles played by the inhabitants, government agencies, and private organizations. Moreover, the feasibility and prerequisites needed by Kinmen National Park to serve as the ecomuseum’s historical buildings and spaces were discussed from the ecomuseum’s standpoint.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines landscape change from 1889 to the present within the foothills-parkland ecoregion of Waterton Lakes National Park (WLNP) in southwestern Alberta, Canada. Land cover dynamics are explored qualitatively and quantitatively using Geographical Information Systems and a combination of historical and contemporary data sources including: (1) Dominion Land Survey (DLS) transect records (1889), (2) repeat oblique photographs (1914 and 2004) and repeat aerial photography (1939 and 1999). Results indicate a consistent increase in woody vegetation cover, particularly aspen forest cover, within the foothills-parkland since 1889, largely at the expense of native grasslands. The primary drivers of these changes likely include: climatic influences, changes to the historical grazing regime, the suppression of natural fire cycles and the cessation of First Nations’ land management practices. This research illustrates the value of integrating multiple historical data sources for studying landscape change in the Canadian Rockies, and explores the implications of this change for ecological restoration in the foothills-parkland of WLNP.

碩士<br>真理大學<br>觀光事業學系碩士班<br>104<br>Abstract
In recent years, most researchers who studied personality traits have focused on the employment situation, human resource management and education. But the discussions on relationships among tourists' personality traits and travel motivation were relatively rare in the field of tourism research. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationships among tourists' personality traits, travel motivation, and satisfaction in Anping Harbor National Historical Park. Visitors were approached by purposive sampling, and a total of 385 effective questionnaires were collected. The independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were conducted. The research yielded the following findings: 1. The personality traits of tourists to Anping Harbor National Historical Park were tending to relate to agreeableness; physical and psychological adjustment on travel motivation had a higher degree of consent; the customer experience and interaction in activities on tourists' satisfaction got higher scores. 2. There were significant differences in travel motivation due to the diversity of tourists' age and education; the demographic variables age and the place of residence had significant differences on tourists' satisfaction. 3. Personality traits had a significant effect on travel motivation, but personality traits had no significant effect on tourists' satisfaction. 4. Travel motivation could predict tourists' satisfaction. Personality traits can affect travel motivation. Increasing travel motivation can enhance tourists' satisfaction. The result may be taken as the basis of decision-making for Anping Harbor National Historical Park in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Issues of diversity are receiving significant attention within the National Park
Service recently, due in large part to a growing awareness that its future as a relevant and
viable agency is dependent upon improving its response to and management of diversity.
A diversity assessment of Fort Vancouver National Historic Site was undertaken to assist
the site in its diversification efforts involving three interrelated areas: historical
interpretation, visitor services, and workforce management. Data from research and
semi-formal interviews with staff and volunteers were analyzed to identify appropriate,
site-specific strategies for expanding dynamic interpretation of diverse groups within the
historical context, improving the quality of visitation for diverse audiences, and more
fully utilizing personnel and community organizations to strengthen the two topics
outlined above. Historical interpretation is the main focus of the analysis, not only
because it forms the fundamental duty of the historic site, but also because diversifying
an interpretive program carries the most potential for forming emotional and intellectual
connections with diverse visitors, thus increasing participation, financial security, and
continued relevance.<br>Graduation date: 2000

Full textAbstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Indiana’s state park system developed as a result of state centennial celebrations in 1916. Government officials created state parks as a permanent memorial that glorified the Hoosier pioneer spirit, which celebrated actions of white colonists as they confronted challenges of the new industrial twentieth century. However, this memorialization erased the Lenni Lenape, Miami, Potawatomi, and Shawnee tribes played in the state’s history. This paper analyzes the Indiana statehood centennial celebrations as sites of erasure of Native American contributions to state and national history. It examines how Richard Lieber, the founder of the parks system, and others built the state park system to understand the ways individual state parks commemorated that Hoosier pioneer spirit at the expense of Native American voices. Turkey Run, McCormick’s Creek, Clifty Falls, Indiana Dunes, Pokagon, Spring Mill, and Lincoln State Parks are critiqued in this analysis to illustrate how each park encompasses and presents the story of colonization.

Full textAbstract:
This report argues that historic landscape preservation efforts need to embrace biodiversity planning. Historic landscape preservation sites need to develop biodiversity plans because they are uniquely qualified to provide the continuous monitoring that successful biodiversity planning requires. Not only will biodiversity monitoring at various historic landscape sites contribute to a nationwide collection of biodiversity planning data, but it will also provide a rich source of information that can be presented to draw a wider audience into the biodiversity discussion. After considering three precedents: Old Sturbridge Village, Old World Wisconsin, and Tucson Botanical Gardens, the report focuses on the Kino Heritage Fruit Trees Project and its real and potential impacts on biodiversity planning in southern Arizona and more broadly. Finally, the report considers how seed libraries and seed swaps might serve a similar purpose in other parts of the country.<br>text
