“…Poudel et al (2014) stated in their study that previous research has shown that tourism stakeholder perceptions about the outcomes of tourism within protected areas show significant differentiation. As an outcome of CBT, increased environmental management and conservation is discussed throughout the literature (Choi & Sirakaya, 2005;Lapeyre, 2011c;Mgonja et al, 2015;Nthiga et al, 2015;Poudel et al, 2014;Ruiz-Ballesteros, 2011). …”

Conflict management within the context of community based tourism: an exploratory study

Community based tourism (CBT) as a concept offers a multitude of opportunities and benefits; however, there are numerous challenges in achieving such positive outcomes in real world communities.While conducting the review of the literature, the term 'conflict' emerged as a concept that could be used to describe many of the challenges occurring within CBT and the term 'conflict management' was recognised as the process responsible for positive or negative outcomes during the CBT process. The research gap became evident through the realisation that conflict and conflict management had not been specifically studied within the CBT context.To address the research gap, the purpose of this study was developed: to explore conflict and its management during CBT initiatives. To initiate this process, a model of conflict management was developed after reviewing both the CBT and conflict management literature.As a result, an original contribution towards understanding conflict management was developed, which was presented as a linear model.The conceptualisation of the linear model involved an 'instance' of conflict occurring, followed by a 'response' to the conflict, which then initiated an 'impact' on the CBT project. To determine if this logic was appropriate, a systematic review of the CBT literature was then conducted to assess the context of these three CBT-related concepts. This review determined the linear model to be a logical progression and also distinguished which CBT related concepts were most frequently mentioned as being 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts'.The five research objectives developed for this study were 1) to explore instances of conflict that occur within CBT initiatives; 2) to investigate the conflict management techniques used to respond to the identified conflict; 3) to explore how the response to the conflict impacted the CBT initiative; 4) to determine whether the proposed model of 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts' provides an initial understanding of the 'conflict theme' components that can be identified when addressing conflict management during CBT; and 5) to consider how the investigation of 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts' of conflict in CBT can inform future projects to increase the likelihood of success. Page | iiTwo stages of the exploratory research design were undertaken to attain qualitative data from CBT examples across the globe from representatives of four CBT stakeholder groups affiliated with CBT development: community, government, non-governmental organisations, and private enterprise. The first stage was an online survey, which investigated the conflict themes of 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts' across the four stakeholder groups. The respondents were invited to participate in the second stage and the results were used to inform and develop the Stage 2 interview guide. During the Stage 2 interviews, the Constant Comparative Method (CCM) was used to acquire a dataset that constantly grew in detail and richness due to the evolution of the intervi...

“…Within a SES a complex multitude of subsystems and internal variables, both social and ecological, continuously interact and transform the SES as a whole (Anderies et al 2004;Ostrom 2009;Ruiz-Ballesteros 2011;Strickland Munroe 2010;Young 2010). Analyzing the characteristics of its components and their interactions can help diagnose outcomes.…”

“…There has been minimal use of CPR and SES theory in tourism research and the few studies vary widely in their application; some analyse ecotourism's/community based tourism's (CBT) affect on CPR outcomes and SE resilience (Ruiz-Ballesteros 2011;Strickland-Munro et al 2010), while others apply it to mathematical models of tourism development (Lacitignola et al 2007;Petrosillo et al 2006). Some analyse tourism very narrowly, rather than being components/ interactions of the much larger SES within destinations (Blanco 2010).…”

“…Les systèmes qui présentent de faibles capacités sociales et institutionnelles sont particulièrement vulnérables aux perturbations, car des alternatives pour poursuivre ou mettre en oeuvre des stratégies d'adaptation leur font défaut (Lacitignola et al 2007). Dans un système résilient où le tourisme constitue une activité économique parmi d'autres, le changement peut créer des possibilités de développement et induire des nouveautés et des innovations (Ruiz-Ballesteros 2011).…”

Dans le cadre de notre projet de recherche sur la vulnérabilité et la résilience du tourisme dans l’Arctique, nous avons évalué les interactions entre le changement climatique et le tourisme dans les communautés de l’Arctique canadien. Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons à la capacité d’adaptation en présentant les résultats d’entrevues menées à Nain au Nunatsiavut, dans la province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Alors que de nombreux résidents ont manifesté leur enthousiasme à propos de la nouvelle désignation de leur communauté en tant que point d’entrée du parc national du Canada des Monts-Torngat, il y avait aussi une insatisfaction par rapport à certains aspects du nouveau parc, comme le manque de possibilités d’emplois locaux. Certains se sont montrés optimistes à propos du potentiel encore inexploité que constitue le tourisme (de la croisière aux visites écotouristiques accompagnées de guides locaux), alors que d’autres ont manifesté leur inquiétude. En tenant compte du fait que le développement touristique au Nunatsiavut en est à ses débuts, nous concluons que les stratégies d’adaptation devraient continuer à mettre l’accent sur l’éducation et viser l’information et la mobilisation des résidents dans les initiatives locales et régionales.
