“…As a quantitative method, the questionnaire has been largely used to investigate tourism-induced rural settlement changes [5,[10][11][12][13]. A semi-structured interview is an extensive method to collect rich and detailed data which can provide a holistic understanding of the phenomena under investigation [11], and has been effectively practiced by previous studies about rural landscape changes and rural tourism [11,47]. Questions of the questionnaire and semistructured surveys were adapted from [5,10,28], and further expanded to deepen the understanding of the evolution of tourism-related facilities in SNPBZ (see Supplementary Materials Tables S1-S3).…”

The increase in the number of tourists to mountain regions poses both opportunities and challenges for sustainable mountain development. In order to achieve sustainable development, it is essential to examine societal, landscape, and population transformation in mountain regions. This study explores transformation in the context of the tourism-related facility in Sagarmatha National Park and Buffer Zone (SNPBZ) of Nepal as an example of the Himalayan region. Questionnaire surveys targeting the owners and managers of tourism-related facilities and interview surveys with various community leaders, officials, and school principals were conducted in the park in 2017–2019. Both surveys show that the types, ownership, distribution, and capacity of facilities in the park have been transformed. Growth of tourist numbers, improvement of porters’ accommodation conditions, and migrant labor are the main factors driving the transformation. Tourism has also induced imbalanced development and unequal benefits among the villages in the park. The findings suggest that diversification of trekking routes and facility and service quality improvement could help to mitigate imbalanced development and unequal benefits. The in-depth examination of the transformation of tourism-related facilities augments the knowledge of the dynamic changes of facilities in mountain regions, which is vital for sustainable mountain development.

“…It is unrealistic to imagine all tourists visiting indigenous communities will be sensitive, culturally informed, sustainably-minded individuals who will behave appropriately and create few problems and be prepared to accept only limited facilities and services. Even ecotourists have impacts and their views often contrast with those indigenous communities over things such as resource extraction and use, and methods used [13,41]. To assume that indigenous tourism will always be of the sustainable and traditional form is wrong, however desired it may be.…”

Indigenous tourism is a term commonly used to describe tourism that involves indigenous peoples or first nations in tourism. In recent years, research attention on this topic has broadened and expanded greatly, reflecting both increased involvement of indigenous peoples and their more active participation in controlling and utilising a widening range of tourism and economic development. This more active participation has taken tourism beyond its traditional role as a limited source of employment and economic development to a stage at which tourism is being utilised as an agent to improve the indigenous political position with respect to controlling a wider range of development and strengthening regional and national identities. The paper briefly reviews research on indigenous tourism over the past half-century, noting the increase in volume and the changing nature and role of research on tourism involving indigenous peoples, but also longstanding neglect of some elements of economic development, which are discussed in more detail It also explores current and likely future issues needing research attention in the light of changing motivations for participation in indigenous tourism, and the spread of indigenous tourism beyond traditional areas into activities more associated with metropolitan and mass tourist markets.

“…The paper took Lefebvre's perspective of production space which synthesised that space is a product of social interaction (social space) and produced by power or politics (political space) (Lefebvre, 1991). However, in contrast with Lefebvre research, the study argued that space is not only produced as a social space in society's everyday life (Goonewardena, 2008), and political policy (Elden, 2007). On the other hand, the space in Mount Kelud is seen as a cultural space.…”

The research aimed to understand the process of political communication in the contestation of Mount Kelud between the Blitar and the Kediri Regency Government in regional autonomy era. Mediation and legal efforts have been carried out to resolve Mount Kelud dispute, but the Central Government has not decided the administrative boundaries of the two Regencies since 2003. The research took the perspective of Henri Lefebvre's space production, which stated that space produced in the community’s daily life (social space) and produced by power (political space). The study used a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The findings of the study revealed that the Kediri Regency Government has carried out cultural construction and communication through the “Larung Sesaji” in Kelud Mountain Festival. Meanwhile, Blitar Regency has not done similar activity; even if it has conducted the Sesani “Larung Intan.” The central government could consider the cultural space on Mount Kelud as a synthesis of social space and political space as an effort to resolve disputes over regional boundaries.
