Community Participation in Rapidly Growing Communities in Southern Utah

Changing Communities, Community Satisfaction, and Quality of Life: A View of Multiple Perceived Indicators

“…Additionally, the rapidly growing seasonal, temporal, and/or permanent populations common to natural amenity-rich tourism destinations, alter established local institutions and social structures, affecting traditional practices (Brown et al 1989;Matarrita-Cascante et al 2006;Smith et al 2001;Smith and Krannich 2000).

Amenity/Lifestyle Migration in the Chilean Andes: Understanding the Views of “The Other” and Its Effects on Integrated Community Development

“…A line of research within the amenity/lifestyle migration has focused on this issue from a community development perspective, understood here as a process that is locally conceived and implemented in which resources are mobilized seeking the improvement of local living conditions [46].

Lakes and Community: The Importance of Natural Landscapes in Social Research

“…Buller and Hoggart 1994;Clendenning 2004;Kohn 1997;Matarrita-Cascante et al 2006;Wilmot 2009). Multiple studies including Kohn (1997), Hoogendoorn et al (2005), Matarrita-Cascante et al, (2006), andVentouri et al (2005) have noted seasonal residents tend to be well-educated professionals earning a higher household income than permanent residents. For instance, Graber (1974) indicated seasonal residents averaged 14.8 years of education, compared to 12.9 years among permanent residents.…”
