Pelalawan District has several natural attractiveness and indigenous knowledge potentially to be developed as ecotourism. The community-based ecotourism management (CBEM) by utilize indigenous knowledge as a part of tourist attractions is one of ways to improve environmental ethics and achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). This paper was prepared to examine the potential of indigenous CBEM in Pelalawan District. Secondary data was used compiled from relevant literatures of previous research or provided by authorized agency. The data analysis method carryout by comparative descriptive interpretative qualitative analysis. It identified the gaps between the existing condition of CBEM versus standards. A conceptual framework and CBEM strategy were arranged to eliminate current management gaps. The analysis result shows that current indigenous CBEM yet optimal. It shows by the lack of management dimension aspect, includes: tenurial license, local ecotourism norm, land use planning, marketing, supporting regulation, environmental education, management capacity, infrastructures development, and business incentives. The strategies to eliminates CBEM gaps, as follows: (1) Integrated planning; (2) Feasibility analysis of village own enterprise (BMUDes); (3) Capacity development of staffs and community; (4) Enhances marketing system; (5) Accountability of management; (6) Integrated environmental education curriculum; (7) Continuous improvement; and (8) Supporting regulation. The research result was recommended as one of references for policy makers to develop indigenous CBEM planning for strengthen environmental ethics and SDGs achievement as integrated manner. Authors recommend to future researchers would be expanded the scopes of the literatures and collect primary data for its accuracy improvements.

“…Identify relevant manifestations of ostracism using content analysis method participants: Grounded theory will be used to collect and analyze data. Using this approach is that we are using a sample who have experienced the phenomenon but are observed outside the context of that phenomenon (Marjan, 2018). The method used for data collection is focus group as the sample is easy (Marjan, 2018).…”

Purpose Ostracism is being socially ignored or excluded by others. Ostracism leads to serious psychological distress and health issues in the young adults being ostracized. However, there are no psychometrically designed instruments to measure this phenomenon in young adults. This study aims to develop a scale that measures ostracism efficiently and establishes the scale’s psychometric properties. Design/methodology/approach The research design used for the study is “a mixed-method study using non-experimental research with an exploratory sequential approach and instrument development design.” For the formation of the item pool, theoretical evidence was collected and focus group discussions were conducted. Afterward, content validity was established with the help of subject matter experts, followed by Velicer’s minimum average partial method and maximum likelihood factor analysis to form the instrument’s factorial structure. Findings Velicer’s minimum average partial method and maximum likelihood factor analysis made two factors as follows: ostracism experience and psychological effect. The instrument developed has a high value of alpha reliability i.e. a = 0.97 and a = 0.96, a = 0.92 for the subscales, respectively. Research limitations/implications The sample used for the research was enough to run the analysis, but future studies can go for a more extensive and more diverse sample. The sample was based solely on university students. The current research focused only on the target of the phenomenon, and the whole research process was conducted online because of the Covid-19 pandemic going on. The scale developed can be used in several settings to find out if the individual is being ostracized or not. Practical implications The scale’s most important implication is in the colleges and universities where young adults are found and face this problem daily. Likewise, psychologists can also use it in clinical settings. The other important implication of this scale is that it is opening a route to future research as different variables can be studied in ostracism such as depression, physical health and anxiety. Social implications Ostracism is a hidden evil in societies that is not usually talked about. When people are not given equal importance in groups or settings, it leads to serious psychological issues in those individuals. This scale will in the identification of the problem that will lead to a proper solution to this evil. Originality/value This work is original and not copied from anywhere. The research was conducted with the sole purpose of developing a scale on the ostracism experiences in young adults. The data is collected in the form of online surveys. The current scale is an attempt at developing a more reliable and valid scale that can be used in social settings.

“…The researcher's choice of an appropriate methodology and specific adaptation that fits their belief about the nature of reality is crucial in undertaking rigorous qualitative research (Mills et al, 2006). Some literature distinguished GT and PA as general methodologies but did not illustrate the different adaptations, corresponding assumptions, and matching strategies (Marjan, 2017;Reiter et al, 2011;Starks & Trinidad, 2007;Strandmark, 2015). To the best of my knowledge, there is limited work that has compared these methodologies' different adaptations to the level of their philosophical underpinnings, which have significant impact on conducting qualitative research.…”

The most widely used qualitative research methodologies are grounded theory and phenomenology. Both methodologies have expanded over time to several adaptations aligning with different paradigms, complex philosophical assumptions, and varying methodological strategies. Novice researchers either mistakenly mix the strategies of both methodologies or blend specific assumptions of methodologies’ different adaptations. Choosing the appropriate methodology and the specific adaptation in line with research inquiry and congruent with the researchers’ worldview is crucial in undertaking rigorous qualitative study. To date, there is limited literature that compared and contrasted the varying philosophical underpinnings of the two methodologies’ different adaptations. The purpose of this methodological paper is to provide a general overview of the two methodologies’ different adaptations to illustrate how they differ in approach. By immersing into the origins, philosophical assumptions, and utility of the two methodologies’ adaptations, novice researchers will develop a general overview of the foundations that support those specific adaptations. Finally, the considerations in choosing a specific adaptation of a methodology are discussed and applied by underpinning a research question on the care experiences of patients in the Accountable Care Unit. Thus, this methodological paper may assist novice researchers in deciding which specific adaptation of the two methodologies is the appropriate qualitative methodology for their research.
