“…We used snowball sampling to recruit interview participants (Noy 2008). The interview guide consisted of 11 open-ended questions and allowed participants to give in-depth responses (Hillman and Radel 2018). This type of semi-structured interview provides insight into topics that are important to individual participants and allows them to raise issues that the researchers may not have anticipated.…”

‘It’s a people problem, not a goat problem.’ Mitigating human–mountain goat interactions in a Canadian Provincial Park

Context. Wildlife viewing is a primary reason people visit parks and protected areas. However, high rates of visitation increase the potential for interactions between humans and wildlife. This close proximity of humans and wildlife can lead to habituation to human presence and pose a threat to both animals and humans. Aims. We describe human-mountain goat interactions in Cathedral Provincial Park (CPP), in British Columbia (BC), Canada, and examine management and mitigation strategies to reduce these interactions. Methods. This project was a collaboration with BC Parks. We used community-based participatory research methodologies, conducting interviews and surveys from July 2020 to November 2021 with park visitors, staff, and researchers. Key results. Most respondents encountered mountain goats in the park and understood the park's messaging; however, not all respondents took the necessary steps to reduce encounters. We recommend further education efforts focused on formal staff training and improved infrastructure in the park. Conclusions. Our results can be used to inform management decisions related to human-wildlife interactions, primarily in parks and protected areas. On a proximate level, we suggest further educational efforts and improved infrastructure in the park to help overcome perceived lack of action by some participants. Ultimately, there is a need to incorporate human aspects of human-wildlife interactions into management decisions aimed at addressing potential and existing problems. Implications. Using a multitude of approaches to management, informed by biological, social, and cultural knowledge, can improve responses and mitigation strategies in human-wildlife interactions. Collaboration among different stakeholders allows for the exchange of ideas and innovations that can contribute to positive movement towards coexistence of humans and wildlife in parks and recreational areas.

“…Since some of the topics that arose during interviews were sensitive, I began engaging in casual conversations. These types of interviews a non-linear structure proved to be particularly fruitful, because they uncover details in freer discussions while still keeping the research objective in mind (Bernard, 2017), thus bringing attitudes and feelings to the surface, unpacking complex problems and checking the validity of the other interviews (Picken, 2018). These casual conversations encompassed over 30 informants, and lasted between a few minutes and an hour.…”

‘If they touch our cloudberries, that means war’: Rural liveability and acceptance of environmental impacts from event tourism

Through the lens of liveability and Buen Vivir, I explore how local actors form their acceptance of the physical impact on nature caused by a trail marathon in north-central Sweden, particularly given trail and soil erosion. With a qualitative multi-method research approach, the findings reveal that the local actors minimise the impacts by getting involved in various activities both inside and outside the event. Different knowledge and practices foster sustainability and create acceptance. While the growth of tourism creates unease and feelings of inadequate control, this event is seen as a distinct phenomenon. I show that liveability goes beyond perception and requires integration of the local environment into local practices. Current acceptance may however be eroded if more or larger events occur in the future. Policies and planning must therefore acknowledge and incorporate these local practices to create sustainability.

“…The semi-structured in-depth interviews explore the lived experience of individuals involved in tourism and gain an in-depth understanding of stakeholder actions in collective actions (Hillman & Radel, 2018) related to the implementation of goals for sustainability at Son Tra and the Complex of Hue Monuments. Snowball sampling is employed to identify informants representing their organisation and knowledgeable of tourism in the area.…”

This paper explores how the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can be achieved at local tourism destinations through the collective efforts of stakeholders. A multiple-case study is conducted at Da Nang and Hue in Vietnam. These destinations experience a controversial concern between tourism development and natural/cultural preservation. A thematic analysis of qualitative data reveals the cooperation of various stakeholders to prevent the encroachment of tourism development in the natural environment in Da Nang or balance heritage preservation and tourism development in Hue. These collective efforts facilitate the achievement of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals to attain various SDGs in each case. This research contributes to sustainability research by revealing the contribution and effects of collective actions in achieving the common goals related to the sustainable development of local destinations.
