▼ The recent establishment of an impressive network of national parks within first the Soviet Union and then post-Soviet Russia can be viewed as representative of ongoing shifts in relationships between valuations of nature and of societal organization and empowerment. With dissipation of the country's centralized administrative structures, the designation of national parks has repeatedly been used to support regional claims to territorial autonomy under the auspices of environmental protection. Site selection, however, has been motivated primarily by attachments to the specifics of place and attendant proclamations of self-identity rather than to normative ecological or recreational national park criteria. As a consequence, Russian national parks embrace complex matrices of historical, cultural and natural landscape characteristics reflective of their respective constituencies. Appearing first in the outlying Republics, the national park formation process diffused inwards to the Russian heartland and eastwards into Siberia. This sequential development, not by chance, has mirrored the devolution of Soviet sovereignty and the deconstruction of its empire. Two national parks, Pribaikalski and Zabaikalski in the Lake Baikal region of south-central Siberia, have served as primary research sites for examining the validity of the above concepts and for observing and analyzing the processes involved. To maximize informational and perceptual access and to study site/societal interactions, a variety of constituencies have been incorporated into the study through extensive multitiered participatory roles. At an operational level, these activities have emphasized international agency/NGO consultancies, the development of a park-directed, village-based ecotourism program and the founding of a wider-ranging “Friends of the National Parks Society.” Research results have supported the contention that Russian national parks are primarily a product of regional socio-political forces intent on preserving representative natural/cultural landscapes rather than the result of centralized decision-making processes prioritizing recreation, education, or biodiversity objectives. Given the persistence of societal flux, the sites will continue to be highly susceptible to the influences of stakeholder/constituency interests and empowered individuals.

▼ Understanding more about relationships between stakeholders and federal agencies are essential for managing protected areas as well as for policy makers, residents, and community leaders. These relationships have gained importance in natural resource decision-making because stakeholders’ level of interest increases over time, and they want to be more involved. Knowing how managers and stakeholders work together is also necessary to capture the meanings and feelings that local communities and various groups might have about a park and its ecosystem. To explore relationships between stakeholders and national parks, Everglades National Park (EVER) was selected as a study site for several reasons: proximity to urban areas, rich biological diversity, largest subtropical wilderness in the U.S., International Biosphere Reserve, World Heritage Site, and its prominence as a tourist destination for the region. The purpose of this study was to examine how local groups are engaged with EVER and how these relationships have changed over time. The objectives of the study were: 1) to understand stakeholders’ perspectives about EVER; 2) to investigate the meaning EVER has for stakeholders; and 3) to learn more about their roles and involvement with EVER. This study conducted a series of interviews with stakeholders interacting with EVER including neighborhood groups, representatives from gateway communities and conservation organizations. A snowball sample was used to obtain a list of key informants and select people for interviews. This qualitative study analyzed data that were generated from three methods: audio recordings, transcripts, and field notes. Forty-one semi-structured interviews were conducted ranging in duration from 15-60 minutes. An analysis of interview data generated three research themes: 1) Attachment to place (preservation of biodiversity, recreation, home, and financial attachment), 2) Threats to the natural environment (loss of native species, urban development, a shortage and contamination of water, hurricanes, climate change, and increased recreation use), and 3) Collaboration (volunteering and advocacy, tourism development, and education and sharing information). Data checks were conducted for trustworthiness. The results of this study add to the literature by understanding more about stakeholders, national parks and their relationships. Theoretically, this research helps to recognize the different ways that stakeholders have worked with EVER in the past, present, and how they may be involved with them in the future. Practically, by learning more about the importance of EVER for stakeholders, the results provide useable knowledge in designing strategies that can help develop plans for natural resource decision-making in and around the park and surrounding communities. The study was limited by the use of the snowball sampling procedure and its focus on only one national park. Future research should include a broader range of stakeholders and expand the number/type of national park units. Advisors/Committee Members: Schuett, Michael A.

▼ This study examines key ways the new generation of mobile devices can enhance a user’s experience in New Zealand’s National Parks. With the growing adoption of smartphone and tablet devices, opportunities exist for this relatively new mobile computing platform to enhance visitor experience in New Zealand’s National Parks. Currently there exists a large number of mobile applications that could be considered relevant to National Park visitors, however, many are poorly conceived, poorly executed, or fail to take advantage of modern smartphone capabilities. Many existing solutions merely repackage existing print or web material and do not leverage the unique display and interaction capabilities offered by modern mobile devices. In this study, a wide range of existing iPhone applications are examined and analysed in terms of their essential or innovative characteristics. Critical elements for successful applications are identified. These are: location awareness (context sensitive information), immersive and compelling user experiences, integration with social networking, and engagement with the environment. A staged process is followed where three individual but related experiments systematically apply design methods of ideation, prototyping, and production to create an array of outcomes. These outcomes include extensive collections of application concepts (possibilities), rapid prototypes, semi-developed applications, and fully functional applications capable of being used in situ. All of these outputs have been informed by wide ranging IDEO ideation and production techniques, including: activity analysis, character profiles, extreme user interviews, fly on the wall, paper prototyping, quick and dirty prototyping, scenarios, try it yourself, and multiple site visits. When developing smartphone software, developers often assume the roles of Designer and Programmer. Design is considered a broad and complex discipline and consists of many subdomains (for example, interaction design, experience design, service design, strategic design). In this study, the application designer’s role involves aspects of interaction design, information design, experience design, and graphic design. In this research it is identified that during design and implementation phases there can be a tendency for ‘hybrid’ designer/ programmers to restrict ideas early in the design process. From this finding a simple guideline is developed to help mitigate this effect. While in some cases the hybrid designer/programmer role may need to be managed carefully, the input from this combined skill set is found to speed up development and encourage rapid iteration. This research identifies many opportunities for enhancing visitor experience through the use of smartphone technology. By using the tools and techniques identified in this study, a large number of innovative concepts were created and three iPhone and iPad applications were deployed to Department of Conservation sites around the South Island of New Zealand. Furthermore, it is found that the… Advisors/Committee Members: Abbott, Mick (advisor).

▼ This thesis is a study of the cultural production of Exmoor National Park. It proceeds through analysis of both historical representations of the space called ‘National Park’ and contemporary social processes in which National Park users engage with the landscape. This project draws on a cross-disciplinary range of literature, from local histories of Exmoor, to tourism studies, critical human geography and cultural theory. Empirical material includes primary texts, transcripts from discussion groups and ethnographic experiences. The research unpacks the reproduction of the space called ‘Exmoor National Park’. It traces the composition of this space in historical and contemporary texts, charting the authorised visions of National Parks in metanarratives and official discourses. Through close reading and textual analysis, assumptions and prevailing wisdoms about the territory ‘Exmoor National Park’ are unsettled. The way that National Parks were represented as a space, or territory, is explored in three ways. First, by considering the boundary which defined the space ‘National Park’, second, by exploring the conceptualisation of National Park land and landscape, and third, by examining governance of engagements between National Park users and the terrain. Analysis highlights multiplicity and political striation in the idea of a territory called ‘National Park’. The thesis develops by exploring contemporary National Park users’ narratives of their engagement with Exmoor. . Findings from discussion groups and ethnographic experiences are used to advance an understanding of the ways users organise their enjoyment of Exmoor. These comprise three modes of engagement with the national landscape: processes of connecting, encountering conflict and working. As an ESRC CASE commissioned project, the findings of this research have been applied through the production of a toolkit called From Special Qualities to Special Experiences (ENPA, 2015), in collaboration with Exmoor National Park Authority. This title articulates the shift from a concern with features of the National Park as a territory, towards the social processes in which Exmoor is experienced.

D.Phil. (Nematology)

This was the first study on aquatic nematodes from the Kruger National Park. Samples were taken more or less randomly over a period of two years from the four main rivers in the park, viz. the Crocodile, Sabie, Olifants and Luvuvhu rivers. A total of 33 species representative of 24 genera were found. Dorylaimida seemed to be dominant in most of the sampling sites in the Sabie, Olifants and Luvuvhu Rivers, but there was no dominant group in the Crocodile River. Five new Dorylaimida species are described: Dorylaimus deaconi spec. nov., Laimydorus olifanti spec. nov., Laimydorus africanus spec. nov.; proleptonchus krugeri spec. nov. and Aporcelaimellus glandus spec. nov. Previously known dorylaim species which were redescribed in detail are Mesodorylaimus sp.cf paralitoralis Basson & Heyns, 1974; M. potus Heyns, 1963, M. aegypticus (Andrassy, 1958), Aquatides thornei (Schneider, 1937), Afractinolaimus zairensis (Baqri, Coomans & Van der Heiden, 1975) and Oxydirus gangeticus Siddiqi, 1966. Further dorylaim species recorded are Aporcelaimellus micropunctatus Botha & Heyns, 1990, Discolaimus monoplanus Heyns, 1963, D. major Thorne, 1939, Xiphinema italiae Meyl, 1953, Thornenema baldum (Thorne, 1939), Tyleptus striatus Heyns, 1963 and Dorylaimellus (Axodorylaimellus) caffrae (Kruger, 1965) . The following Tylenchida species were found: Hemicycliophora labiata Colbran, 1969, Helicotylenchus africanus (Micoletzky, 1916) and Scutellonema brachyurum (Steiner, 1939). Three Araeolaimida species were recorded, viz. Chronogaster africana Heyns & Coomans, 1980, Plectus cirratus Bastian, 1865 and Rhabdolaimus terrestris de Man, 1880. The latter species is redescribed in full collected and (de Man, 1979). Only one species of the Cromadorida viz. Achromadora ruricola 1880), Enoplida viz. Eutobrilus annetteae (Joubert & Heyns, Monhysterida viz. Monhystera somereni Allgen, 1952, were Detailed descriptions are given to incorporate additional morphological information obtained. Brief descriptions and new distribution records are also given for Mononchus truncatus Bastian, 1865, M. aquaticus Coetzee, 1968 and Mylonchulus minor (Cobb, 1893) of the Mononchida and Ironus longicaudatus de Man, 1884 and I. ignavus Bastian, 1865 of the Iro~idae.A diagnostic compendium for the Mesodorylaimus species of South Africa and a checklist of the free-living and plant parasitic nematode species from both terrestrial and aquatic habitats in the park are also included. Most of this work has already been published or submitted for publication in scientific journals and is presented in this thesis in the same format as required by the editors of the journals concerned.

▼ The social and economic contribution of tourism to local communities is now being recognised as one of the most vital aspects for the tourism industry. Literature on national parks emphasises the importance of relations between parks and communities, as well as knowledge and understanding of the social and economic impacts of parks on the development of local communities. Although national parks are seen as major tourism assets and the vital role that they play in adjacent communities is understood, still little is known about the socio-economic contribution of these parks to their respective local economies and communities. Socio-economic impact study is important since it provides information that can influence a community's attitudes and perceptions and accordingly, its behaviour, which may create a cohesive society which is important for the success of national parks. The primary goal-of this study was to determine the socio-economic impact of the Wilderness National Park (WNP) on the community of Wilderness. To achieve the above goal, secondary objectives were set, namely: to determine the socio-economic benefits of Wilderness National Park, to determine the social impact of the WNP on the community of Wilderness, to determine the length of residency as an influential factor in the social impact of tourism and to draw conclusions and make recommendations based on the results of the study. Three surveys were conducted (as quantitative research): a community survey (101 questionnaires), a business survey in Wilderness (22 questionnaires) and a tourist survey (85 questionnaires) of tourists visiting the Wilderness National Park. The research outcome contains two components: Article 1 (Chapter 2), a socio-economic impact study (where all three surveys were used); and Article 2 (Chapter 3), a social impact study of length of residency (where only the community survey was used). Research for both articles was undertaken at Wilderness. Article 1 is titled: "The socio-economic benefits of Wilderness National Park". The main purpose of this article was to determine the socio-economic benefits of the WNP to the community of Wilderness. Results indicated that the Park has an impact in terms of production, income generation and employment, and that it is also achieving its goal with regard to conservation, creating economic opportunities and involving the community of Wilderness. Only 24% of businesses indicated that their existence is due to the Wilderness National Park. However, guesthouses and Bed and Breakfast establishments indicated that they benefit most from the Park since 62,1% of the accommodation units' turnover is due to the Park. Food and restaurants indicated that 7,5% of their business is due to the Park, while tourism services estimated this contribution at 33,3%. The results confirm that the total economic leakage percentage is well above 50%, indicating that the urban areas face high leakages. However, in terms of employment creation, the fact that 100% of all workers live in the area under…

▼ Mineral-depositing hydrothermal ecosystems, such as the hot springs in Yellowstone National Park, provide an unparalleled opportunity to document how microbial biosignatures form and contribute to the body of evidence indicative of the microbial inhabitants of active hot springs. Mineralization of microbial communities in silica-depositing hot springs can result in the preservation of microbial biofacies in the geologic record. To determine the effects of prolonged aerial exposure on the preservation potential of mid-to-low temperature cyanobacteria dominated microbial communities that are typically permineralized in the siliceous sinter, modern biofacies samples of such communities were collected from the active and inactive parts of Queen's Laundry hot spring in Yellowstone National Park. The strategy of the research was to: (1) perform qualitative and quantitative characterization of structural and morphometric attributes of subaqueous and aerially exposed Calothrix biofacies samples collected from terraces; and (2) determine whether prolonged subaerial exposure affected the fidelity of morphological biosignatures (i.e., biofabrics and microbial cells) in the aerially exposed samples. To ensure that the permanently subaqueous and aerially exposed samples were comparable, a protocol developed to describe structural and morphological attributes of stromatolites was utilized to characterize the hot spring samples. Morphometric analysis of both types of Calothrix biofacies samples (i.e., partly silicified subaqueous and aerially exposed samples) revealed the presence of: distinct microbially influenced structures; thicker lamina at or near the base of the terraces; the greatest density of microorganisms in microbial structures; and increased microbial structure flatness as height of the microbial structures within the terrace proper increased. These characteristics were also used to provide a means to interpret the environmental conditions within which the terrace structures developed. To determine whether prolonged subaerial exposure affected the morphological fidelity of the biosignatures in the aerially exposed samples, the microstructure of these samples was studied in detail petrographically. A silica layer defined the boundary between laminae and was referred to as the "capping" silica deposit because it was found to "cap" all of the laminae in the Calothrix biofacies samples. The top most capping silica deposit of the aerially exposed Calothrix biofacies samples was found to be distinctly different from the capping silica deposits in the interior of the same sample and in the partly mineralized subaqueous Calothrix biofacies samples. The aerially exposed capping silica deposit was milky and glassy in appearance and contained fine laminations. The fine laminations were not found in any laminae of the biofacies samples. Another key finding of the project is a new evaluation of the preservation potential of the Calothrix terrace samples. Petrographic observations revealed that preservation… Advisors/Committee Members: Scott F. Burns.

▼ Two experiments were performed to determine the effect of ocean acidification on Montastraea faveolata vertical skeletal growth and lesion healing. The first experiment used three different CO2 concentrations: present day atmospheric pCO2, 380 microatm, and the atmospheric pCO2 expected by the years 2050, 560 microatm, and 2100, 800 microatm. The second experiment used 380 and 560 microatm. In the second experiment where the influence of parent colony was analyzed, M. faveolata fragments from one coral colony had significantly slower skeletal growth rates and less healed lesion area than other colonies. Corals that calcify and regenerate tissue slower may have less resilience to ocean acidification. The experiments demonstrated that the corals in 800 microatm grew significantly slower than corals in 380 or 560 microatm. Increased CO2 concentrations increased M. faveolata skeletal growth rates and healed lesion area until a threshold was reached, 560 microatm, then growth rates and healed lesion area decreased. Less than 1% of the variability in healing rates could be explained by CO2. The Nature Conservancy Resilience Model was used as a framework to identify current management strategies of wider Caribbean MPAs that may increase coral reef resilience to climate change. Seven out of the 8 MPAs had representation, critical areas, connectivity, and effective management as determined by each MPA's management plan. Three management plans had specific climate management strategies. Each management plan had actions to build coral reef resilience, but institutional incapacities and other barriers can decrease the ability to increase reef resilience. Because of the weaknesses of the Resilience Model, revised resilience guidelines were developed with the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) as a case study. The coral lesion experiment results and interviews with FKNMS managers and the FKNMS's Sanctuary Advisory Council helped design the revised resilience guidelines. The revised climate-based coral reef resilience guidelines are to 1) incorporate more no-take zones and hedge the risks against ocean acidification, 2) identify resilient coral reefs and perform more climate change research, 3) reduce local stressors, 4) enhance coral reef recovery, and 5) increase public awareness and education on climate change impacts to coral reefs.

▼ An investigation of the relationship between the physical, pedological and anthropogenic influences on landslide occurrence on the midslopes within and outside Mt Elgon National Park was carried out. One of the landslides occurred in a protected pristine forest environment within the Park while the other two were located at sites deforested for cultivation within and outside the National Park. Field based surveys, GIS techniques and laboratory tests were used to collect and analyze the data. A household survey was undertaken to establish the main community livelihood strategies, the drivers of land use change and implications for land degradation on the mid slopes of Mt Elgon. Aerial photographs taken in 1960 and orthophoto maps formed the benchmark for the analysis of the respective land use changes between 1995 and 2006, using 30m Landsat TM and 20m SPOT MS images in IDRISI Andes GIS environment. Landslide sites were mapped using a Magellan Professional MobileMapperTMCX and terrain parameters were derived using a 15M Digital Elevation Model. A hybrid supervised/unsupervised classification approach was employed to generate land cover maps from which the areal extent of three land cover classes (agricultural fields, woodlands and forests) was calculated. Particle size distribution and atterberg limits were used to test the hypothesis that soils at the landslide sites are inherently ‘problem soils’ where slope failure can occur even without human intervention. Shear strength parameters (internal of friction and cohesion) were used calculate the slope factor of safety to ascertain slope stability at pristine and disturbed landslide sites. Results from the socio-economic survey revealed that smallholder subsistence agriculture and encroachment on the National Park resources are the main sources of livelihoods for the communities surrounding the Park. The communities also have a strong socio-cultural attachment to the National Park, as it is the source of items used during traditional rituals like circumcision. Encroachment is driven by the high population pressure and the prevalent political climate. Farmers mainly use slash and burn technique to prepare land for cultivation and those close to the National Park are reluctant to adopt appropriate farming and soil conservation practices due to the uncertainties surrounding their future on such plots. Slash and burn iii techniques were observed to accelerate various forms of erosion including rills, gullies and sheet. Soil and water conservation techniques were mainly practiced on privately owned farms. The period 1960 and 1995 was characterized by minimal land use changes and no encroachment into the designated Mount Elgon National Park. Conversely, the period 1995 – 2006 marked a significant loss of woodlands and forest cover particularly on steep concave slopes (36º – 58º) within the National Park. The land use change trends were attributed to the prevalent land politics and exponential population growth in the region. The encroachment onto the critical slopes was noted…

MSc. (Geology)

The Mesoproterozoic Pilanesberg Alkaline Complex is located in the north central region of the Kaapvaal Craton of South Africa and is one of the largest alkaline intrusive bodies in the world. It is also one of the least studied due to the fact that the dominant exposure of the complex forms part of the Pilanesberg National Park. The Pilanesberg Complex intruded into the western limb of the Paleoproterozoic Bushveld Complex, the complex is a circular structure of 530km2 appearing on the map as a set of concentric rings of different varieties of syenites, capped by extrusive pyroclastic units and lavas. The present study is focused on the petrography and mineral chemistry of the rocks and minerals in an outcrop of mainly lujavrite, which is located in the Ledig nepheline syenite previously referred to as Ledig foyaite, named after an informal settlement by the name of Ledig which is situated approximately a kilometer south of the outcrop. This unit is emplaced in the southern region of the Pilanesberg complex and is believed to be a hybrid of the white nepheline syenite and the green nepheline syenite. A number of different rock types were examined from this outcrop, however, detailed work was only carried out on the lujavrites, in particular the eudialyte bearing lujavrites. The lujavrites consist of porphyroblasts of heterogeneously-sized feldspars, feldspathoids and mafic minerals set within a finer grained material. The bulk rock geochemical data on the Ledig lujavrites indicate considerable variation, but no obvious trends. A selected number of samples collected from the ledig lujavrite outcrop were geochemically analysed, these samples sit within the nepheline syenite field and have a shoshonitic affinity. The samples analysed have a relatively wide range of SiO2 content (20.39% to 52.67%), however the majority of the samples fall between 47.07 and 52.67%, the fluorite rich sample analysed has the lowest SiO2 as well as the lowest alkali content. The lujavrites and tinguaites are silica undersaturated and rich in alkalis. All the samples analysed are alkaline in nature and fall in the ferroan field. There is some variation in the SiO2 content and a large variation in Mg# in the sample population, this appears to be due to different proportions of minerals occurring as phenocrysts. No clear trends emerge, which is in part due to the very large differences in element concentrations within rock types with similar SiO2 content and Mg#. A lack of geochemical variation stemming from Abstract differentiation was expected as the samples were collected from a single outcrop essentially within a single lithology. There are a number of different phases of eudialyte that have been identified and studied from the Pilanesberg, at both the outcrop and in the northern area of the green lujavrites. At the Ledig lujavrite outcrop, there are euhedral magmatic eudialytes, which contain nepheline inclusions as well as post-magmatic eudialytes present in the samples studied. The two textural types have distinctly…

M.Sc.

OBJECTIVES Tourism in the Kruger National Park is closely linked to nature conservation. Tourism being the revenue earner and conservation the resource provider; this results in a mutually beneficial symbiosis. This finely tuned interdependence between tourism and conservation should be properly managed to ensure that tourism does not become a self-destructive process, destroying the very resources on which it is based. Mounting pressure from central government is forcing the National Parks Board to become financially independent of State grants. Tourism provides the most viable solution towards achieving financial independence. All the national parks in South Africa will therefore have to make a concerted effort to accommodate and attract more tourists. The Kruger National Park, being the largest national park (1 948 528 hectares), will have to make a major contribution towards financial independence. In order to achieve this goal, tourism in this Park will have to be planned and managed more effectively. It is within this context that this study was initiated. In order to facilitate future tourism planning and management, the study will investigate the number of tourists visiting the Kruger National Park as well as the occupation of accommodation by tourists. These results will in turn be used to investigate the tourist carrying capacity of the Park and to make suggestions regarding the Park's tourism management policies. RESEARCH METHOD As a result of the primarily descriptive nature of the investigation relating to the number of tourists visiting the Park as well as the occupation of accommodation by tourists, the research will include diagrammatic and cartographic representations of the data. In order to explain the temporal and spatial variations of the tourists in the Kruger National Park, a correlation and regression analysis was used in conjunction with non-tourist variables (which include both socio-economic and physical variables). The results obtained in the above investigation were used to study the physical and perceptual tourist carrying capacity. Physical tourist carrying capacity was researched by indicating the percentage occupation of available accommodation and available day visitor quota. As a result of the its subjective nature, the balance between the costs and benefits associated with gaining a holiday experience was used in conjunction with the number of visitors to the Park in order to determine the perceptual tourist carrying capacity. RESULTS The number of visitors to the Park as well as the occupation of accommodation by tourists both indicated that large temporal and spatial variations exist. The temporal variations in tourist data were best explained by school holidays. An obvious relationship exists between school holidays and the number of visitors to the Park. The spatial variation was best explained by distance from the PWV and rainfall. The distance from the PWV (now Gauteng Province) indicates the strong influence of this region as a source area for tourists to the Park.…

▼ Research in tourist behaviour follows the cognitive approach. This contains the behavioural cycle of stimulation (motivation and intention formation), the actual behaviour and experience, and finally the evaluation of consequences. These stages are referred to in tourism as: the pre-trip experience (motivation and intention formation), travel stage (actual behaviour) and the post-travel stage (evaluation of the travel experience). The characteristics, which influence tourist behaviour, indicate that travel motivations are the result of how tourists behave (tourist behaviour). These characteristics are: the decision-making process, demographical factors, marketing mix, external/social factors and internal/ psychological factors (motivations). Motivations to travel have a major influence on the travel behaviour of tourists. Tourists' motivations to satisfy their needs directly influence their behaviour, or the actions they take, in order to satisfy these needs. Due to its impelling and compelling nature, motivation is considered to be one of the most important variables in explaining tourist behaviour. As countries and destinations strive to increase their share of the international and national tourism market, it becomes important to understand why people travel and why they choose a specific ecotourism destination. If travel motivations of tourists are known to the product, it will be an aid when developing a competitive marketing strategy. From the literary review, the following travel motivations occurred regularly: leisure, excitement, socialisation, relaxation, family togetherness, escape, culture, novelty, attractions, knowledge seeking, adventure, prestige, nature, facilities, recreation, attributes, nostalgia, photography, exploration and activities. The literary review further revealed that there are travel motivations commonly found with regard to tourism destinations, and on the other hand, there are travel motivations which are product related. The aim of this research was to determine the travel motivations of tourists to selected national parks in South Africa: Karoo-, Kgalagadi Transfrontier- and Tsitsikamma National Parks. Secondary data was used to determine the visitors' profile, as well as the factor analysis on travel motivations. For the visitors' profile, 286 questionnaires were administered for Karoo National Park, 468 for the Tsitsikamma National Park and 582 for Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park. For the factor analysis, 318 questionnaires were administered for Karoo National Park, 673 for the Tsitsikamma National Park and 534 for Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park. Primary data was used to determine the reasons for visiting these parks. 101 Questionnaires were administered for Karoo National Park, 192 for the Tsitsikamma National Park and 104 for Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park. The foremost findings of the research were divided into three categories, namely: visitors' profile, reasons for visiting the parks and travel motivations. Regarding visitors profile; it was found…

▼ The Sagarmatha National Park (SNP), Nepal is regarded as one of the most beautiful mountain tourism sites in the world. Tourism provides the majority of the capital for the SNP, however, the protected mountain region has experienced negative effects for those capital gains. Corruption and governance issues related to the tourism industry in Nepal have resulted in conflicts regarding environmental cooperation, skewed caste systems, and poor management of natural resources. The basic human rights of the residents and the well being of tourists of the SNP are being infringed upon, as access to clean drinking water is being compromised. This thesis explores the multifunctionality of drinking water as it relates to basic human rights, governance, and environmental policy in the Sagarmatha National Park. Identifying common drinking water contaminants by assessing the overall drinking water quality in the SNP was the main objective of this study. The second objective of this study was to establish a water quality data set which can be used to create a comprehensive map of water quality for the Sagarmatha National Park region for future studies. The final objective of this study was to review the current environmental policy standards in the SNP, comparing them to international water quality standards and identifying any improvements to policy based on the research conducted. Understanding the current governance of the SNP and the effects of tourism on the region was important in fulfilling this objective. The outcomes of these three objectives are necessary for providing essential accurate water quality information to the residents of the SNP and the scientific community. A survey of drinking water sources in the SNP was completed to assess bacterial contamination and its association with tourism. Analysis of fecal coliforms in surface and drinking water sources followed standard U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization (WHO) approved methods. Temperature, pH, conductivity, and total dissolved solids (TDS) were measured in the field on the basis of general drinking water quality standards. Overall, the data we collected presented a predictable correlation between fecal contamination and both decreasing elevation and increasing population/tourist traffic. Drinking water within the study area meets current WHO drinking water standards for temperature (2.8°C - 13°C), pH (5.27 - 7.24), conductivity (17.87 μS - 133 μS) and TDS (7.24 ppm - 65.5 ppm). A total 41 samples were collected for this study: 5 were collected and analyzed for bacteria in May and all tested positive for E. coli; 5 of the 36 samples collected and analyzed in November also tested positive for E. coli. Samples collected and analyzed in May (pre-monsoon summer) had a higher concentration of E. coli and coliform bacteria than samples collected in November (post-monsoon early winter) suggesting a seasonal dependence. Samples from the more populated, lower altitude, areas had higher levels of E. coli… Advisors/Committee Members: Nicholson, Kirsten N. (advisor).

▼ This thesis explores tourism publicity representing New Zealand’s Tongariro National Park and the Chateau hotel in the twentieth century, focusing specifically on how leaflets and brochures publicising the park worked as designed agents in the process of subjectivation. The thesis investigates how the documents’ representation of social actors in tourism landscapes rhetorically configures particular kinds of subjectivities. The objective of these investigations is to build and demonstrate a theory of ‘emplacement’ as a specific kind of subjectivation in tourism representations. This emplacement theory holds that subjects and places are co-constituted, such that the subject recognises itself in relation to the archiscape (defined as the built and natural elements of the place environment). The thesis uses this theory to analyse the historical specificity of emplacement. Publicity leaflets and brochures produced between 1929 and 1984 are selected as data for the case study. Emplacement processes in the brochures are investigated using the methods of critical semiotic and discourse analysis. Analysis has shown the rhetorical significance of luxury, and therefore of class and gender, for emplacement in the park. It has also shown how this emplacement has shifted over time. Four distinct historical moments are identified. In the late 1920s the park was constructed as a national recreation ground in which the absence of luxury is expressed as a spartan frugality. In the 1930s the park was reconstructed as a luxury playground and the subject’s status is elevated through elite scarcity. With the de- luxe family leisure-field of the 1960s, the consumption of ‘de-luxed’ leisure articulated middle-class family status. Finally, as the liminal pleasure zone of the 1970s and 1980s, a ‘post-lux’ permutation focused on the hedonic individual and a fleeting engagement with place. The thesis thus demonstrates the value of theorising emplacement as a process through which the subjects and archiscapes of representations are co-constituted and change over time.

▼ To better understand the diversity of mechanisms for stromatolite morphogenesis as well as the diversity of microorganisms and microbial metabolisms associated with stromatolites it is imperative to describe the biological attributes of the full diversity of "living" stromatolite-like geobiological structures worldwide. It is of additional interest to describe geographically and geochemically comparable ecosystems but lacking stromatolites to stromatolite-forming environments to unravel the geochemical and microbiological aspects of stromatolite morphogenesis. Here we present a living stromatolite system in a Yellowstone National Park (YNP) hot spring that exhibits features in contrast to many popularly studied modern stromatolite analogs. Most notably, the YNP stromatolites are more finely laminated than living marine stromatolites and may be a more suitable textural analog to finely laminated stromatolites found in the rock record. The YNP stromatolites are composed of silica-encrusted cyanobacterial mats. The predominant lithofacies of the YNP stromatolite is comprised of silica-encrusted filaments and is distinctly laminated. The laminated quality of the main lithofacies is due to an alternating-possibly on a diurnal cycle-growth orientation of filamentous cyanobacteria. Two cyanobacterial mat types grow on the stromatolite surfaces and are preserved as two distinct lithofacies. One mat is present when the stromatolites are submerged or at the water-atmosphere interface and the other when stromatolites protrude from the hot spring. The lithofacies created by the encrustation of submerged mats constitutes the bulk of the stromatolites, is comprised of silica-encrusted filaments, and is distinctly laminated. To better understand the cyanobacterial membership and community structure differences between the mats, we collected mat samples from each type. Molecular methods revealed that submerged mat cyanobacteria were predominantly one novel phylotype while the exposed mats were predominantly heterocystous phylotypes (Chlorogloeopsis HTF and Fischerella). The cyanobacterium dominating the submerged mat type does not belong in any of the subphylum groups of cyanobacteria recognized by the Ribosomal Database Project and has also been found in association with travertine stromatolites in a Southwest Japan hot spring. Cyanobacterial membership profiles indicate that the heterocystous phylotypes are 'rare biosphere' members of the submerged mats. The heterocystous phylotypes likely emerge when the water level of the hot spring drops. Environmental pressures tied to water level such as sulfide exposure and possibly oxygen tension may inhibit the heterocystous types in submerged mats. In contrast to living marine examples where the interplay of pCO2 and [Ca2+] is the main influence on microbial lithification, the lithifcation in the YNP system is driven by a rapid decrease in silica solubility between high-temperature subsurface water emitted from the hot spring vent and lower-temperature surface water.
