Learning from practice in the digital age: ‘Digitalisation of heritage in New Zealand’

Natural disasters, neglect and demolition continually exacerbate the dire state of heritage in New Zealand. This research investigates existing knowledge on heritage conservation in New Zealand and explores contemporary methods of digital preservation. The research involved a survey study of 156 responses from industry professionals, community members, government officials and academics. It was analysed using Braun and Clark's thematic analysis to understand the risks and benefits of digital tools in heritage conservation. The findings are organized into themes, sub-themes and codes. The paper is presented in three parts: (1) a review of heritage digitalisation methods and existing regulatory frameworks in New Zealand; (2) survey results and (3) a discussion on perceptions of using digital tools for conservation. Despite varying perceptions, the benefits of digitalisation outweigh the drawbacks. Through solutions outlined by professionals in the country, this paper highlights the potential of digitalisation to enhance heritage conservation efforts.

The methane-oxidizing microbial communities of three maar lakes in tropical monsoon Asia.

Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is a group of planktonic microorganisms that use methane as their primary source of cellular energy. For tropical lakes in monsoon Asia, there is currently a knowledge gap on MOB community diversity and the factors influencing their abundance. Herewith, we present a preliminary assessment of the MOB communities in three maar lakes in tropical monsoon Asia using Catalyzed Reporter Deposition, Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization (CARD-FISH), 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, and pmoA gene sequencing. Correlation analysis between MOB abundances and lakes' physicochemical parameters following seasonal monsoon events were performed to explain observed spatial and temporal patterns in MOB diversity. The CARD-FISH analyses detected the three MOB types (I, II, and NC10) which aligned with the results from 16S rRNA amplicons and pmoA gene sequencing. Among community members based on 16S rRNA genes, Proteobacterial Type I MOB (e.g., Methylococcaceae and Methylomonadaceae), Proteobacterial Type II (Methylocystaceae), Verrucomicrobial (Methylacidiphilaceae), Methylomirabilota/NC10 (Methylomirabilaceae), and archaeal ANME-1a were found to be the dominant methane-oxidizers in three maar lakes. Analysis of microbial diversity and distribution revealed that the community compositions in Lake Yambo vary with the seasons and are more distinct during the stratified period. Temperature, DO, and pH were significantly and inversely linked with type I MOB and Methylomirabilota during stratification. Only MOB type I was influenced by monsoon changes. This research sought to establish a baseline for the diversity and ecology of planktonic MOB in tropical monsoon Asia to better comprehend their contribution to the CH4 cycle in tropical freshwater ecosystems.

VILLAGE SAVINGS AND LENDING ACTIVITIES (VSLAs) AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN RWANDA, A CASE OF MASAKA SECTOR IN KICUKIRO DISTRICT

This project aimed to assess the impact of village savings and lending associations (VSLAs) on socio-economic development of local community in Rwanda, with a particular focus on Masaka Sector of Kicukiro District. More specifically, this project aimed of assessing the VSLAs income generating activities or their main sources of savings in the local community; evaluating the VSLAs types of savings in the local community; evaluating the VSLAs types of lending in the local community; and comparing the socio-economic transformation of the community members before and after joining VSLAs. In the research design, the researcher adopted a descriptive approach and employed a specific case study approach of Masaka Sector in Kicukiro District. For study population, the total study population was 258 members of VSLAs. For sampling, the total sample of 221 was calculated using random sampling technique and for data collection, the researcher used questionnaires and interview guides and for data analysis, the researcher used SPSS. The results showed that VSLAs significantly impacted income sources, prominently empowering agricultural activities (mean = 0.368), while showing moderate influence on trading (mean = 0.319) and lesser impact on handcrafts and tailoring. The results also showed that VSLAs’ savings mechanisms exhibit distinct impacts: emergency and long-term savings display substantial, consistent influences (means = 0.282, 0.395) with differing member engagements. The practical suggestions proposed were that Masaka sector should establish connections with other initiatives, like VUP and BDF, to enhance the socio-economic progress of rural communities. KEYWORDS: Economic development, Income generating activities, social development, types of lending and types of savings

Unearthing the disabling perplexities of a Filipino PLHIV online community on X’s #PLHIVDiaries as socially shared inquiry fostering pakikipagkapwa

Abstract Filipino People living with HIV (PLHIV) have used X, formerly Twitter, as an avenue to make sense of what it means to live with HIV in the Philippines. However, big data analyses do not provide a comprehensive investigation of X as a community. Grounded in the concepts of Alfonso’s (1992) socially shared inquiry (SSI), this paper discusses how this discursive process of sense-making and sense-giving occurs in an X hashtag called #PLHIVDiaries through analyzing and interpreting tweets (n = 1089) that narrate the daily experiences of Filipino PLHIV. This describes how their different struggles are framed and reframed through SSI process which unravels disabling perplexities such as problem, barrier, conflict, absence, dilemma, and error. Among the non-disabling frames that serve as a foil to disabling perplexities, we identified a variety of tweets that contained testimonies, personal triumphant stories, and answers to problems that were endorsed and authenticated by community members.

The role of electronic media in the region in updating cultural codes and forming a complex of identities of the population (the case of Maikop television)

The issue of preserving cultural codes in ethnic communities in the era of globalization is relevant. The departure of a greater share of social interactions into the digital information space raises the need to include elements of traditional forms of culture in it in order to preserve and strengthen the ethnocultural identity of communities, especially in multi-ethnic regions. The most effective means of transmitting and assimilating cultural codes as the basis of identity, both among members of local sociocultural communities and among the larger society of the Russian nation, are artistic practices. The goal of the research is to identify the role of electronic media in the region in updating cultural codes and forming a complex of identities of the population. The research method used was content analysis – a selection of television programs about artistic practices over a certain time period, followed by classification and generalization. It was revealed that the main form of representation of artistic life are fragments of news blocks relating to exhibitions, festivals, competitions, theatrical performances, etc., which presented: a display of the traditions of folk art of local residents – the Circassians, the Cossacks, the Russians; coverage of artistic events with heroic and patriotic content; a story about involving children in activities in the field of academic art (sculpture, music). Taken together, a picture emerges of a stable system of artistic life in the region, within which an environment is formed for the preservation of cultural codes and a harmonious balance of ethno-local and national identity.

Law Enforcement and Human Rights Protection in Public Administration: A Qualitative Approach to the Implementation of Public Policy

This research investigates the relationship between law enforcement and the protection of Human Rights in the context of public administration in Indonesia. Qualitative research methods were used to gain a deep understanding of policy implementation and the interaction between law enforcement and human rights protection. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with government officials, human rights activists, academics, and community members directly affected by public policies. The findings indicate that law enforcement continues to face significant challenges such as lack of resources, low institutional capacity, and corruption practices. On the other hand, while there have been improvements in recognizing basic rights, complexities remain in human rights protection, particularly concerning discrimination and abuse of power by authorities. Research recommendations suggest strengthening institutional legal capacity, enhancing transparency, fostering more active community participation, and engaging in cross-sector dialogues to strengthen fair law enforcement and inclusive human rights protection in public administration.

The Compassion-Centered Model and Its Constructive Role in the Formation of a Healthy Society in the Light of

Compassion is kindness rooted in appreciation of other human beings as real human beings. Research has been done on these important and constructive educational models of kindness and their constructive role in the formation of a healthy society in the light of the Prophet's way of life. Kindness is one of the important issues. In the field of community education, we can mention skills and characteristics that play a significant role in individual and social relationships based on kindness and attention to people's needs and problems and creating solidarity and responsibility of community members. Although the role of kindness as an educational model in the society has been neglected in the present era, the Quran and hadiths have mentioned it as a source of guidance and human education. This research investigates the concept of compassion and its educational effects from the perspective of the prophetic tradition with a descriptive-analytical method in order to investigate the characteristics and skills of compassion and its educational effects in the fields of belief, emotion, emotional and moral, in individual and social axes, and the culture of compassion to grow in society and focus on it. The results of the research show that compassion is one of the effective and useful personal and social traits that causes the mutual influence of people on each other in the direction of a better life and healing of the soul and spirit. And still, compassion is a set of qualities and skills and has a concept more than kindness and compassion. If after discussion and investigation it can be said that compassion is a person's relationship with God and man himself and It places society and people on the basis of monotheistic belief, love, responsibility, sympathy and empathy. According to this compassion, it has several basic educational roles, including seeing God as present and watching in all stages of life, and seeing Him as the agent of receiving mercy and guidance; And also controlling emotions and feelings and managing human interactions with others and protecting and relieving humans from the pains and pains of others and being kind to them and creating a platform for creating mutual love and good interaction in the community and these are reasons for being human and Muslim. We should keep this religious and human duty alive in our minds so that we can have a society free from unkindness.

Ecosystem restoration coupled with poverty alleviation in eThekwini Municipality, KwaZulu‐Natal Province, South Africa

Ecosystem restoration is a necessity for addressing socio‐ecological challenges by improving ecosystem resilience and alleviating poverty through local community involvement. Here, we review a community‐based, large‐scale ecosystem restoration program, Working for Ecosystems, implemented by eThekwini Municipality in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa, between 2007 and 2022. For this study, we interrogated monthly and annual reports generated by the program between 2011 and 2021 to describe how the program worked to suppress invasive alien plants (IAPs) and provided employment opportunities to marginalized groups (women, youth, military veterans, and people living with disabilities). Annual budget was positively correlated with the area cleared of IAPs and effort (person‐days in the field). The program successfully incorporated marginalized groups, but military veterans and people living with disabilities remained in smaller numbers and were not well quantified. Participants were encouraged to constitute companies—Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises—that were then subcontracted to the program or could progress to other endeavors, allowing other community members to enter the program. A steady increase in the implementation budget emphasized the need for a long‐term plan to ensure accountability and sustainability of restoration and socio‐ecological systems.

Empowering community participation for sustainable rural water supply: Navigating water scarcity in Karak district Pakistan

In the tapestry of life, water is the essential thread weaving through our existence. Imagine this thread not just as a simple element, but as the very pulse that sustains our communities. This study unravels the nuanced interplay between community engagement and sustainable water solutions in District Karak, shining a spotlight on a crucial but often overlooked aspect of rural water programs. Employing the theoretical framework of Social Capital Theory by Robert Putnam and Pierre Bourdieu, our research investigates the interconnected relationship between community participation and the long-term viability of water supply initiatives. Focusing randomly on three selected water supply schemes, we employed a sampling technique and collected data from 330 respondents through interviews. Community members, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and executing agencies were sampled to analyze the extent and impact of engagement across program phases. The findings underscore the pivotal role of participatory approaches facilitated by CBOs and executing agencies, revealing active community engagement as a linchpin for sustained water supply success. Results of the study reveal that the synergy of community satisfaction and engagement paves the way for a resilient water future, offering a blueprint for District Karak and similar regions to pursue a more secure water future and mitigate the adverse effects of water scarcity through the promotion of community participation.

Producing Photos and Self-Narration of Kampung Peneleh Surabaya: A Collaborative Community Development Project of UNAIR, UMS, and UTM

The connection between individuals residing in historical locations and their environment is complex and has many aspects. It encompasses both the physical integration and a profound connection to the intangible cultural history of the location. The meaningful link between citizens and historical places is fostered by community participation, a sense of pride in location, and the integration of heritage sites into daily life. Helping the local people to engage in the heritage sites may boost the sense of pride and strengthen the social cohesion among community members. This paper is a report of a collaborative community development program done by Universitas Airlangga, University of Malaysia Sabah, and Universiti of Technology Malaysia. The aim of the project was to help the local people produce their own narrative. The method was through photo competition and workshop. The photos became the tools for the local people to generate stories in relation to the heritage in their neighborhood. The result shows that two main groups of photos were produced: objects and activities. It is concluded that the local people connect themselves with their historical surroundings through the collective memories kept in the objects and the interaction in their daily life.

Respectful tolerance, misrecognition, and religious diversity: reflections on the New Zealand government’s response to the 2019 Christchurch massacre

ABSTRACT This paper shows that the traditional framing of diversity in Aotearoa New Zealand in terms of ethnicity hampers the government’s ability to give due recognition to Muslim communities in the wake of the Christchurch massacre. It first examines the New Zealand government’s response to the Royal Commission’s inquiry into the massacre with specific focus on the establishment of the Ministry of Ethnic Communities. The analysis draws from government documents and data, media reports, and nine semi-structured qualitative interviews with members of Muslim communities in the South Island of New Zealand. It then examines the participants’ responses to two questions: first, whether they think the government leadership has done enough to promote respectful tolerance and second, the key factor or factors they believe need to be addressed for New Zealand to become a more tolerant society. The article highlights how the government’s failure to listen attentively has led to the misrecognition and non-recognition of Muslim communities to the detriment of its stated goals of promoting religious tolerance, social cohesion, and inclusion in the interests of national security.

Voices from the community: The perspective of nonprofit organizations in student philanthropy courses

ABSTRACT This paper investigates the perspective of community members engaged with experimental learning in student philanthropy courses. While most scholarship explores the impact that student philanthropy practices have on students’ learning process and the overall effectiveness of these courses, this study aims to understand the impact of student philanthropy courses on community partners. We rely on a survey and focus groups to assess the perspectives of both nonprofits that participated in student philanthropy courses and nonprofits that decided against participating. We find that nonprofits see relational and advocacy benefits in participating in these courses, beyond the most obvious potential benefit of being awarded a grant. While we found overall satisfaction with the course, we also identified barriers to participation, which informs a list of practical recommendations. This study points to the possibility to better student philanthropy processes and improve the experience of participating nonprofits.

Primary health care utilisation and delivery in remote Australian clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic period (2020 to 2022) challenged and overstretched the capacity of primary health care services to deliver health care globally. The sector faced a highly uncertain and dynamic period that encompassed anticipation of a new, unknown, lethal and highly transmissible infection, the introduction of various travel restrictions, health workforce shortages, new government funding announcements and various policies to restrict the spread of the COVID-19 virus, then vaccination and treatments. This qualitative study aims to document and explore how the pandemic affected primary health care utilisation and delivery in remote and regional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with staff working in 11 Aboriginal Community-Controlled Health Services (ACCHSs) in outer regional, remote and very remote Australia. Interviews were transcribed, inductively coded and thematically analysed.Results248 staff working in outer regional, remote and very remote primary health care clinics were interviewed between February 2020 and June 2021. Participants reported a decline in numbers of primary health care presentations in most communities during the initial COVID-19 lock down period. The reasons for the decline were attributed to community members apprehension to go to the clinics, change in work priorities of primary health care staff (e.g. more emphasis on preventing the virus entering the communities and stopping the spread) and limited outreach programs. Staff forecasted a future spike in acute presentations of various chronic diseases leading to increased medical retrieval requirements from remote communities to hospital. Information dissemination during the pre-vaccine roll-out stage was perceived to be well received by community members, while vaccine roll-out stage information was challenged by misinformation circulated through social media.ConclusionsThe ability of ACCHSs to be able to adapt service delivery in response to the changing COVID-19 strategies and policies are highlighted in this study. The study signifies the need to adequately fund ACCHSs with staff, resources, space and appropriate information to enable them to connect with their communities and continue their work especially in an era where the additional challenges created by pandemics are likely to become more frequent. While the PHC seeking behaviour of community members during the COVID-19 period were aligned to the trends observed across the world, some of the reasons underlying the trends were unique to outer regional, remote and very remote populations. Policy makers will need to give due consideration to the potential effects of newly developed policies on ACCHSs operating in remote and regional contexts that already battle under resourcing issues and high numbers of chronically ill populations.

Supporting migrant inclusion: the role of linguistic diversity in community-led organisations

ABSTRACT This empirical study explores migrant inclusion in the linguistically diverse city of Glasgow. The particular focus is on the minoritisation of emergent speakers of English, who can find it especially difficult to access support. The research involved in-depth interviews with professionals at third-sector organisations supporting people with a refugee or migrant background. Interviewees gave examples of flexible communicative practices that support migrant inclusion. Such communicative practices can be understood in terms of translanguaging: the way that speakers fluidly draw on their full linguistic repertoires to make meaning. The analysis indicates that language minoritisation can be reduced when services better reflect the linguistic diversity of community members who access them. The examples given show how organisations can embrace linguistic diversity in ways that appear to enable inclusion, valuing the linguistic and cultural resources of recently arrived and settled community members. The article concludes that organisations which are more community led and linguistically diverse can better support the inclusion of language-minoritised migrants.

“I used to be a storyteller”: the perspectives of people with primary progressive aphasia on the communication needs for themselves and their family members

ABSTRACT Background Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) refers to a group of neurological disorders characterised by the progressive deterioration of language functions. The primary avenue of support for the wide-ranging impacts of PPA on the lives of people with PPA and their family members is the delivery of communication care from speech-language pathologists. To align the provision of communication care services and the development of communication interventions with the peoples’ and family members’ needs, it is important to understand those needs from the perspectives of key stakeholders, particularly individuals with PPA. Aims The aims of the current study were to explore (a) the communication needs of people with PPA in the early and middle stages, and (b) the communication needs of their family members, from the perspectives of people with PPA. Methods & Procedures Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with seven people with PPA (all variants of PPA) from one to 96 months post diagnosis. The qualitative data was analysed using qualitative content analysis to identify codes and categories that related to the study’s research aims. Outcomes & Results Qualitative content analysis yielded six categories of communication need pertaining to people with PPA: Diagnosis and disclosure; Wanting information for self and the general public; General communication difficulties; Impact on communication in everyday life; Impact on psychosocial wellbeing; and Future planning. In contrast, only one category of need pertaining to family members was identified: Impact on family and others. Conclusion This study has yielded a breadth of findings on the communication needs of people with PPA and an initial contribution on those of their family members, implicating a range of health and social care professionals and other system level supports, as well as community members and family and friends, in addition to speech-language pathology services. Speech-language pathologists supporting this population might consider needs in areas such as impact on working life, impact on driving, coping with a changing self-perception of their identity (e.g. as a storyteller), and managing fluctuation in communication abilities. Future research can build on these findings to inform clinical practice and to develop interventions which address the needs of this population.

Sustainability of an intervention for the prevention of substance use within Native American communities

The outcomes of this study revealed the importance of recruiting local Native American tribal community members as participants in an Adult Facilitator Trainee Program for a cultural based intervention, Intertribal Talking Circle (ITC), that addresses prevention of substance use among Native American youth. Survey results indicate that Native-Reliance (cultural identity) and self-efficacy increased among the trainees from base-line to 3-months post the training session. Themes emerged from qualitative interviews conducted with the participants that described their readiness to implement and sustain the Talking Circle intervention program within their tribal communities after the research project was completed.

A qualitative exploration of how a community engagement approach influences community and health worker perceptions related to family planning service delivery in Togo.

There is a growing body of evidence that asserts community engagement approaches can improve the quality of reproductive health services. Family planning (FP) programs in Togo are implementing such approaches, which aim to mobilize both health workers and communities to improve FP service quality and FP uptake. However, there is not enough known about the enabling factors and challenges associated with implementation, or the extent to which the programs improve outcomes leading to contraceptive uptake. We qualitatively explored how a community engagement approach influenced health worker and community perceptions related to FP service delivery in and around the city of Lomé, Togo, within the context of the broader integration of social and behavior change and service delivery. We conducted 18 in-depth interviews with health workers and 9 focus group discussions with community members. We found the approach, which included community dialogues, site walkthrough visits and the development of community action plans, worked synergistically together to support collaborative action between communities and health workers to increase mutual understanding of their collective needs related to FP services. Community members cited improved reception at the health facilities by health workers and indicated that the site walkthrough visits created a greater sense of empathy towards the providers and the challenges faced in their work environment. Health workers acknowledged a greater understanding of barriers at the community level following community dialogues, particularly among community members that are not routinely encountered at the health facility for reproductive health services such as men and youth. We found limited implementation of health facility improvements included in community action plans because they were dependent on commitment from community leadership and the need to mobilize additional support or financial resources. Community engagement approaches are a promising mechanism to support collaboration and enhance mutual understanding between health workers and communities to achieve improved FP service quality. Future programs should consider incorporating additional mechanisms to monitor community action plans and provide support to address structural challenges at the facility level particularly those that require financial resources.

Lay person’s and psychology officers’ beliefs about memory, investigative interviewing and deception detection: data from Malaysia

ABSTRACT It is very typical for people to think that the understanding of psychological phenomena is a matter of common sense. In many parts of the world, the general public and even some professional groups, often express commonly held beliefs about topics in psychology that are not in line with up-to-date scientific literature. To date, comparable data from Malaysia is lacking. In this study, 101 psychology officers serving the Ministry of Home Affairs as well as 130 student and community members in Malaysia completed a survey on beliefs about human memory, detecting lies and police interviews. Generally, participants possessed beliefs that were not in line with current psychological research, which is consistent with findings from many parts of the world. This study serves as an important gauge of the advancement of the field in this region.

Interactive Media-Based Approach for an Exception From Informed Consent Trial Involving Patients With Trauma

Exception From Informed Consent (EFIC) research requires community consultation (CC) and public disclosure (PD). Traditional methods of conducting CC and PD are slow, expensive, and labor intensive. To describe the feasibility and reach of a novel interactive, media-based approach to CC and PD and to identify the similarities and differences between trial sites in website views, survey responses, online community forum attendance, and opt-out requests. This survey study analyzed the CC and PD campaigns conducted for the TAP trial (Evaluation of BE1116 in Patients With Traumatic Injury and Acute Major Bleeding to Improve Survival), an EFIC trial of the early administration of prothrombin complex concentrate in patients with trauma. The CC and PD campaigns consisted of social media advertisements, linked websites, community surveys, and online community forums. These activities were coordinated from a central site and approved by a central institutional review board. This study focused on the first 52 of 91 TAP trial sites (level I trauma centers) in the US to have completed their CC and PD campaigns. Community members in the catchment areas of the participating trauma centers were targeted. Data analysis was conducted between October 2023 and February 2024. Social media advertisements, surveys, and online community meetings conducted as part of the CC and PD campaign for the TAP trial. Social media campaign reach and engagement, web page views, survey results, online community forum attendance, and opt-out requests. Fifty-two trial sites were approved for participant enrollment. Social media advertisements were displayed 92 million times, reaching 11.8 million individuals. The median (IQR) number of people reached in each location was 210 317 (172 068-276 968). Site-specific websites were viewed 144 197 times (median [IQR] viewings per site, 2984 [1267-4038]). A total of 17 206 fully or partly completed surveys were received, and survey respondents had a median (IQR) age of 40.1 (15-65) years and included 10 444 females (60.7%). Overall, 60.6% survey respondents said they would want to be entered into the trial even if they could not give consent, 87.7% agreed that emergency care research was necessary, and 88.0% agreed that the TAP trial should be conducted in their community. Online community forums were attended by a median (IQR) number of 38 (20-63) people. Four opt-out requests were received. The interactive media-based approach to CC and PD for the ongoing TAP trial showed the feasibility and benefits of executing an efficient, coordinated, centrally run series of locally branded and geographically targeted CC and PD campaigns for a large EFIC study.

Sustainable tourism development and Indigenous protected and conserved areas in sub-arctic Canada

Rural and northern Indigenous communities across Canada are pursuing new Indigenous-led conservation partnerships with Crown governments as critical alternatives to Western conservation and extractive industries regimes. Colonial conservation policies and industrial development continue to displace Indigenous Peoples from their ancestral territories, with great consequences to land-based economies, food security, and knowledges. Indigenous-led conservation is an umbrella term used to describe a variety of initiatives that includes Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas. Indigenous communities lead the creation, management, and stewardship of these protected areas, which are guided by localized knowledge and priorities. This creates unique opportunities to build new and bolster existing tourism businesses with sustainable socio-economic, cultural, and environmental outcomes. Our research examines Indigenous-led conservation and tourism in the Dene/Métis community of Fort Providence, Northwest Territories, located adjacent to Canada's first official Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area, Edéhzhíe. Guided by Indigenous methodologies and collaborative approaches, this paper presents the analysis of 23 semi-structured interviews with Elders, knowledgeable land users, and community members. While tourism development in the community is currently limited, our results indicate that participants are hopeful about the contributions of Edéhzhíe and tourism to sustainable economies, cultural resurgence, and environmental stewardship in the surrounding communities. Participants demonstrate that Indigenous-led conservation and tourism have the potential to challenge existing colonial, capitalist land use regimes and foster Indigenous governance, reconciliatory processes, and environmental resiliency. Our findings can be used by other Indigenous communities to inform conservation and sustainable development goals related to regional tourism economies.
