Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing numbers of Americans are fleeing cities and suburbs for the small towns and open spaces that surround national and state parks, wildlife refuges, historic sites, and other public lands. With their scenic beauty and high quality of life, these "gateway communities" have become a magnet for those looking to escape the congestion and fast tempo of contemporary American society. Yet without savvy planning, gateway communities could easily meet the same fate as the suburban communities that were the promised land of an earlier generation. This volume can help prevent that from happening. The authors offer practical and proven lessons on how residents of gateway communities can protect their community's identity while stimulating a healthy economy and safeguarding nearby natural and historic resources. They describe economic development strategies, land-use planning processes, and conservation tools that communities from all over the country have found effective. Each strategy or process is explained with specific examples, and numerous profiles and case studies clearly demonstrate how different communities have coped with the challenges of growth and development. Among the cities profiled are Boulder, Colorado; Townsend and Pittman Center Tennessee; Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; Tyrrell County, North Carolina; Jackson Hole, Wyoming; Sanibel Island, Florida; Calvert County, Maryland; Tuscon, Arizona; and Mount Desert Island, Maine. Balancing Nature and Commerce in Gateway Communities provides important lessons in how to preserve the character and integrity of communities and landscapes without sacrificing local economic well-being. It is an important resource for planners, developers, local officials, and concerned citizens working to retain the high quality of life and natural beauty of these cities and towns.

Download or read book Tourism Transformations in Protected Area Gateway Communities written by Susan L. Slocum and published by CABI. This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up, informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive decision-making.

Download or read book Sustainable Transportation in Natural and Protected Areas written by Francesco Orsi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected areas are at the centre of nature-based tourism, which is increasingly popular across the world. As visitor numbers increase, so does awareness of the harmful effects that large crowds may have on both natural resources and individuals’ recreational experience. This volume considers the challenge of transportation to and within natural and protected areas, the improvement of which has already been recognised as having great potential for mitigating the environmental impacts of ecotourism. While several books have focused considerable attention to the management of protected areas in general, little has been said about the specific issue of sustainable transport, an emerging trend that is already reshaping visitation patterns in natural settings. This book provides current knowledge on issues associated with the transportation of visitors in natural and protected areas, and a comprehensive overview of the technical and strategic options available to tackle these issues. It approaches the subject via three main topics: preferences, or the visitors' attitudes towards transportation; practices, where current approaches are assessed through examples and case-studies of successful experiences and methodologies from around the world; and policies, where suggestions and recommendations are put forward for both local scale strategies and broad-scale regulatory action with global relevance. Contributors include academics in the field of natural resource management and tourism, with extensive experience in protected area management and active partnerships with natural park administrations.

Download or read book Understanding Stakeholder Perspectives of Aviation Tourism Growth in the Alaska Range written by Erinn Drage and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nature-based tourism destinations, including gateway communities to national parks, are currently undergoing rapid and dramatic changes. As tourism continues to rise in popularity and global climate change transforms the natural environments that attract tourists, understanding the historical contexts of tourism in protected area settings and documenting ongoing complex processes of change, especially from the perspective of local stakeholders, is imperative for sustainably managing tourism into the future. This thesis advances the incorporation of historical understandings of tourism destinations and change over time into tourism research and adds to a growing body of literature on stakeholder perspectives of impacts in protected area settings. Using aviation tourism in Talkeetna, AK and Denali National Park and Preserve as a case study, this thesis seeks to answer four research questions: R1) How do local stakeholders describe the history of aviation tourism in Denali National Park and Preserve?; R2) What do stakeholders identify as indicators of change associated with the aviation tourism industry in Denali? How do they perceive these changes over time?; R3) How do stakeholders describe the impacts of aviation tourism in the Denali Region? and; R4) What do stakeholders perceive to be the most important park management challenges to sustainably managing aviation tourism growth in Denali National Park and Preserve? Results of this thesis help to document local understandings of the history and development of flightseeing and glacier landing tourism in the region, reveal important indicators of change in the industry over time, and explore the social, environmental, and economic impacts of growth in the aviation tourism industry.
