Situational influences on normative evaluations of coastal tourism and recreation management strategies in Hawai’i

Understanding the Heterogeneity of Generation Y's Preferences for Travelling: a Conjoint Analysis Approach

“…A conjoint analysis has been adopted and used as a methodology in a number of tourism situations, including recreation site usage and/or impacts (Needham & Szuster, ); destination, activity and/or attraction choice (Lindberg, Dellaert, & Rassing, ; Suh & McAvoy, ; Thynea, Lawson, & Todd, ; Lopes, Boubeta, & Mallou, ) and hotel/restaurant choice (Huertas‐Garcia, Garcia, & Consolation, ).…”

Tourist value orientations and conflicts at a marine protected area in Hawaii

“…Another approach for managing interpersonal conflict could be to implement a quota system where numbers of snorkelers, scuba divers, tour boats, and/or operators are limited to help address carrying capacity‐related issues such as conflict and crowding (Bell et al, ; Inglis, Johnson, & Ponte, ; Lankford, Inui, & Whittle, ; Needham & Szuster, ; Needham, Szuster, & Bell, ; Roman et al, ; Shelby & Heberlein, ). This approach is controversial and usually should only be used as a last resort because it leaves little freedom of choice for the stakeholders involved (Needham & Szuster, ). Although controversial, this approach of limiting use through a permitting system, along with increasing user fees to maintain tour operator viability, has been successful at reducing impacts such as conflict and crowding at some other marine areas (Catlin, Jones, & Jones, ; Davis & Tisdell, ; Lankford et al, ; Leujak & Ormond, ; Musa, ; Needham et al, ; Smith, Newsome, Lee, & Stoeckl, ).…”

QSPM Usage in SWOT Analysis as a Tool for Strategic Management of Caspian Sea Coasts (Case Study: Tourism Development in Caspian Eastern Coast at Gilan Province)

“…Needham and Szuster (2011), in an article titled "Situational influences on normative evaluations of coastal tourism and recreation management strategies in Hawai'i", examined how situational factors such as coral reef damage, use levels, and amount of litter differentially influence support and opposition toward these management strategies. Panigrahi and Mohanty (2012) in an article titled "Effectiveness of the Indian coastal regulation zones provisions for coastal zone management and its evaluation using SWOT analysis", some recommendations/suggestions are made to improve the effectiveness of the Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and CRZ provision in India.…”
