Perceptions of Antarctic tourism: A question of tolerance

Perceptions of tourism held by a sample of New Zealand's Antarctic community are explored, and the small, mixed group of scientists and support workers that populate Scott Base (New Zealand's research base in the Ross Dependency, Antarctica) are treated as proxy for a ‘host’ community. This exploration is part of a wider study that set out to investigate the nature and meanings of Antarctic heritage. Although the research did not explicitly set out to survey perceptions of tourism, approximately one-half of those interviewed in the wider study gave an insight into this topic. The qualitative data reported were gathered during two visits to Scott Base in 1999. From the responses a three-fold classification was derived, indicating degrees of tolerance toward tourism: cautious, complex and comfortable tolerance.     

Thinking about Antarctic Heritage: Kaleidoscopes and filters

The preliminary results of a project that is currently investigating the nature and range of meanings of Antarctic heritage are explored. The project involves two visits to Scott Base, and the subjects of the qualitative research are the members of the New Zealand Antarctic community. Work so far suggests that different meanings do exist, and a four-fold typology of meanings is suggested which needs to be considered in decisions affecting the future of Antarctica.

Natural amenities and regional tourism employment: A spatial analysis

This research examines the spatial linkages between natural amenities and tourism employment spillovers under alternative neighbourhood structures. A main contribution is to contrast models where economic distance defines neighbouring regions with a model where the spatial structure is defined by geographical proximity. Significant spillovers are found not only between geographical neighbours, but also between economic neighbours with important implications for policy design. Internet, population, regional parks and state forests and World Heritage Areas are found to be important drivers of regional spillovers. This study uses data for Queensland, Australia, however the approach and conclusions can be extrapolated to similar economies.     

Perceptions of climate change impacts and self-rated health in coastal Cambodia

Climate change contributes to the global burden of diseases and premature mortality. This burden may be even more pronounced in coastal areas amongst the poor and the marginalised groups. Using a survey data-set from 1823 households in coastal communities in Cambodia, we examine how perceptions on climate change impacts influence self-rated health (SRH) when controlling for livelihoods, food security and contextual and compositional factors. The findings show that individuals who had higher factor scores on perceived socio-ecological impact of climate change were less likely to report good SRH. Likewise, those who reported barriers to protect themselves against the impacts of climate change were less likely to report good health. Surprisingly, households that reported earning more were less likely to report good health.

Perceptions of owners in German construction projects: congruence with project risk theory

The construction industry is a major user of formal project risk management practices, yet risk is often dealt with inadequately, which is a contributory factor to poor performance. Conceptual developments propose a holistic view of risk incorporating threats and opportunities and the management of uncertainty. To optimize a risk management process there needs to be a reflection of this holistic view in management practice. A key project participant is the owner and understanding the perceptions of project risk of construction owners is an important step in assessing the degree to which practices reflect theory. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 10 practitioners in German construction owner organizations to explore their perceptions of project risk. The results showed no common definition of project risk and a general belief that risk equated to threat. Some owners did manage opportunities and saw a link between threats and opportunities, yet this practice seemed more the result of experience than an awareness that it was an integral part of a theoretical risk management framework. Most owners perceived risk to encompass uncertainty and the sources of uncertainty perceived as most important were those linked to a longer timescale, such as the ability to let out buildings.

Responsible cruise tourism and regeneration: the case of Nanaimo,British Columbia,Canada

Cruise ship tourism continues to grow faster than other tourism sectors globally, with increasing potential benefits for cruise destinations, which seek to boost tourism revenue for instance by developing passenger terminals and associated infrastructure. However, there is a growing awareness of the need for ‘responsible cruise tourism’ in view of the costs of cruise ship tourism to host communities. The case of Nanaimo in British Columbia, Canada, illustrates these issues in terms of the management of cruise ship tourism and associated socio-economic benefits and costs, with implications for policy and practice in other contexts.

Significance and interspecific variability of accumulated trace metal concentrations in Antarctic benthic polychaetes

Trace metals were analysed in polychaetes collected on Polarstern cruise ANT XXI/2 (2003/04) to the Weddell Sea. Pb concentrations were largely less than 1.3 mg kg⁻¹ DW in all samples analysed. Statistical results indicate that the accumulated Cd, Cu and Zn concentrations are related to the feeding guild to which the animals are belonging. Relatively low Cd and Cu concentrations are found in macrophagous carnivores and relatively high concentrations in microphagous detritus feeders. The relationship between Zn concentrations and the feeding guilds of polychaetes is reverse. Cd concentrations range from (median values and interquantile ranges in brackets) 2.6 (1.5-3.2) mg kg⁻¹ DW in the carnivorous Trypanosyllis gigantea to 133 (37-176) mg kg⁻¹ in the microphagous detritus feeder Lanicides bilobata; Cu concentrations from 16 (11-19) mg kg⁻¹ in the carnivorous Antarctinoe spicoides to 40 (23-68) mg kg⁻¹ in the microphagous detritus feeder Phyllocomus crocea and Zn from 89 (69-97) mg kg⁻¹ in the microphagous detritus feeder Isocirrus yungi to 396 (372-404) mg kg⁻¹ in the carnivorous Aglaophamus trissophyllus. Ni is ranging from 3.7 (1.8-6.0) mg kg⁻¹ in Polyeunoa laevis to 34 (20-41) mg kg⁻¹ in A. spicoides, but no significant differences are obvious regarding the feeding guilds. Since information on metals in Antarctic polychaetes is almost completely lacking, our results suggest further studies to clarify the role of feeding in the bioaccumulation of metals in this ecologically important taxonomic group.

A new method for evaluating sulfur dioxide tolerance of certain trees

The paper proposes a new method for evaluating the tolerance of trees to SO₂ pollution stress, and grouping plants as indicators and controllers by tolerance index values. The index is calculated by a new arithmetic formula. The developed model is useful in identifying tolerant and susceptible plants to SO₂.
