“…The transition from subsistence to formal economic activities (Section 3.2.2) has had in many areas replaced traditional practices, skills, knowledge and governance systems (see also Movono et al, 2018; Sotomayor et al, 2019). However, similar to the Gunas (Section 3.2.3) despite such changes several Indigenous groups have managed to preserve their sense of belonging and connection with their surroundings (Zen et al, 2020).…”

“…Such processes have catalysed shifts from traditional livelihoods, lifestyles and social interactions to lifestyles characterized by capital accumulation and consumerism (D'Ambrosio & Puri, 2016; Karst & Nepal, 2019; Rosnon et al, 2019; Sotomayor et al, 2019). The drivers of livelihood shifts in indigenous settings are very diverse and context specific, and have included among others tourism development (Leu, 2019; Movono et al, 2018) and community relocation (Zen et al, 2020).…”

1. This study elicits the main development challenges for the indigenous socialecological system (SES) of the Guna people in Panama, which is characterized by rapid change and a unique governance system.2. We elicit the key challenges in the region through a combination of expert interviews with key actors in Gunayala's development and surveys with local communities.3. Current development centred on tourism and government support provide new livelihood opportunities, access to better education and healthcare. However, the shift from a subsistence-based economy characterized by strong community cohesion to a lifestyle characterized by capital accumulation has had undesirable consequences.4. The current modernization and development trends have degraded some of the core values within the Guna belief system and worldview, and ultimately degraded elements of the SES. This is despite the strong institutions and self-determination in Gunayala, which are commonly identified as strong buffers against unsustainable change in indigenous settings. 5. Our study shows that merging the perspectives of national experts and Indigenous communities can help provide complementary lenses to identify how modernization processes, development aspirations and socioeconomic and environmental change intersect. Arguably this can provide valuable insights to inform effective and sensitive development programmes and mitigate unintended consequences.

“…Ecotourism has attracted the attention of scholars at home and abroad since the 1960s [5]. The term "ecotourism" was only coined in the early 1980s by Ceballos-Lascuráin, who defined it as "tourism to relatively undisturbed or uncontaminated natural areas with specific research objectives" [6].Extensive studies have been conducted exploring various topics, including the connotations of ecotourism [7,8], tourist market [9,10], community management [11,12], evaluation system [13,14], resource protection [15,16], activity impact [17,18], resource management [19,20], and development planning [21]. With the deepening of research and the development of the times, ecotourism is increasingly seen as a potential tool that can bring sustainable development [22].Research methods have also gradually shifted from mainly qualitative analyses [23] to combined qualitative and quantitative evaluation techniques.…”

Tourism flow is an important monitoring indicator for the industrial operation of ecotourism destinations, crucial in its planning, development, and marketing. Based on the travel journal data of popular tourism websites, this paper analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution, network structure, and the coupling characteristics between ecotourism flow and traffic accessibility in Zhangjiajie using standard deviation ellipse, social network analysis, kernel density estimation, and a spatial coupling model. The main results are as follows: (1) In terms of time distribution, the ecotourism flow in Zhangjiajie is mainly short-term tourism, with significant seasonal differences. (2) In terms of spatial structure, the ecotourism flow in Zhangjiajie presents a polygonal distribution of “core-edge”, forming a dense distribution area of Wulingyuan–Tianmen Mountain–Huanglongdong ecotourism flow. (3) In terms of spatial and temporal distribution, the connection intensity between the core area of ecotourism flow in Zhangjiajie and other scenic spots increases as the tourism length of stay increases. However, the radiation scope is mainly in the surrounding ecotourism scenic spots. (4) The coupling degree of ecotourism flow and traffic accessibility in Zhangjiajie is high, but the coupling coordination degree remains low on the whole. In addition, there is a serious mismatch between ecotourism flow and traffic accessibility in Zhangjiajie.
