Abstract

This article analyzes an ambitious interpretive planning project in Pennsylvania's Lumber Heritage Region that resulted in plan non-implementation. It applies years later a Holistic Planning perspective that identifies numerous ways why that planning process likely failed and how it could have been done better with the current holistic focus based on the AQAL Integral Map of Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, a theory applied to planning by Kohl and McCool in their book, The Future Has Other Plans: Planning Holistically to Conserve Natural and Cultural Heritage

... While plans for Alberta Parks were, to a small extent, tailored for interpretation to specific user groups, a more holistic and interdisciplinary approach in interpretive planning is needed (Jameson 2007). This approach would address many perspectives (e.g., archaeology, human rights, ecology, etc.) and scales (e.g., temporal and spatial) and would aid in conceptualizing and implementing plans that support equity, diversity, and inclusion principles (Kohl 2018), especially for Indigenous Peoples and other marginalized groups. ...

Identification of Causal Chains for Sustainable Tourism Development Within Two Chilean Patagonia National Parks: Cerro Castillo and Torres del Paine
Chapter
Full-text available
  • Oct 2023
The Austral Macrozone of ChileanPatagonia (Aysén and Magallanes Regions) is home to 80% of the total area of the 106 protected areas (PAs) of the National System of Wildlife Protected Areas (SNASPE), and many of its PAs are experiencing intense socio-environmental challenges related to the balance between effective conservation and growing tourism development, in the face of uncertainty and change. This chapter takes an in-depth look at the causal chains for sustainable tourism development within the Cerro Castillo and Torres del Paine National Parks, using Ante Mandić’s (Environ Syst Decis 40(4):560–576, 2020) conception of the Drivers, Pressures, State, Impact, and Response ( DPSIR ) model for advancing the sustainability of PAs that are managing nature-based tourism growth. Outcomes of the study represent an important first step for developing a better understanding of the causal chains related to the economic, social, and environmental dynamics of tourism in PAs within Chilean Patagonia and validate the value of moving forward with Mandić’s (Environ Syst Decis 40(4):560–576, 2020) to advance understanding of tourism’s effects on their conservation and management and thus, improve their potential for sustainability.
