Although a participatory approach under the 'co-management programme' has been adapted in Bangladesh's protected areas (Chowdhury et al, 2009), significant involvement of the different stakeholders (including local communities), in terms of planning and decision making, still remains largely to be accomplished (Chowdhury et al, 2013;Rashid et al, 2013).…”

“…Because the rules of JFM participation do not deliver tangible benefit, and do not allow the communities to manage all aspects of forest use, rules are not followed by the communities. Indeed, there is some suggestion that the forest department have also not followed the rules of the initiative, resulting in mistrust between the forest department and communities (as per Idrissou et al, 2013). In addition, the lack of in-forest personnel means that there is no enforcement.…”

“…Based on Murphy and Murphy's (2004) suggestions and other recent pivotal publications, research into collaboration between stakeholders has been among the key topics at the forefront of CBT literature. Through the evaluation of this research, the need to mitigate and/or resolve conflict is deemed to be an important element to the process (Idrissou, van Paassen, Aarts, Vodouhè, & Leeuwis, 2013;Lee, Riley, & Hampton, 2010;McKercher, Ho, & du Cros, 2005;Yang, Ryan, & Zhang, 2013).…”

“…Trust has been discussed as both a positive and negative 'impact' (Idrissou et al, 2013;Simpson, 2009). There has been an ongoing discussion about the connection between trust and distrust (Idrissou et al, 2013). Although distrust is often seen as being negative, Idrissou et al (2013) state that a reasonable amount of distrust is needed during management processes, as it assists in building a stronger foundation for actual trust and assists in the collaboration process.…”

Conflict management within the context of community based tourism: an exploratory study

Community based tourism (CBT) as a concept offers a multitude of opportunities and benefits; however, there are numerous challenges in achieving such positive outcomes in real world communities.While conducting the review of the literature, the term 'conflict' emerged as a concept that could be used to describe many of the challenges occurring within CBT and the term 'conflict management' was recognised as the process responsible for positive or negative outcomes during the CBT process. The research gap became evident through the realisation that conflict and conflict management had not been specifically studied within the CBT context.To address the research gap, the purpose of this study was developed: to explore conflict and its management during CBT initiatives. To initiate this process, a model of conflict management was developed after reviewing both the CBT and conflict management literature.As a result, an original contribution towards understanding conflict management was developed, which was presented as a linear model.The conceptualisation of the linear model involved an 'instance' of conflict occurring, followed by a 'response' to the conflict, which then initiated an 'impact' on the CBT project. To determine if this logic was appropriate, a systematic review of the CBT literature was then conducted to assess the context of these three CBT-related concepts. This review determined the linear model to be a logical progression and also distinguished which CBT related concepts were most frequently mentioned as being 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts'.The five research objectives developed for this study were 1) to explore instances of conflict that occur within CBT initiatives; 2) to investigate the conflict management techniques used to respond to the identified conflict; 3) to explore how the response to the conflict impacted the CBT initiative; 4) to determine whether the proposed model of 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts' provides an initial understanding of the 'conflict theme' components that can be identified when addressing conflict management during CBT; and 5) to consider how the investigation of 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts' of conflict in CBT can inform future projects to increase the likelihood of success. Page | iiTwo stages of the exploratory research design were undertaken to attain qualitative data from CBT examples across the globe from representatives of four CBT stakeholder groups affiliated with CBT development: community, government, non-governmental organisations, and private enterprise. The first stage was an online survey, which investigated the conflict themes of 'instances', 'responses', and 'impacts' across the four stakeholder groups. The respondents were invited to participate in the second stage and the results were used to inform and develop the Stage 2 interview guide. During the Stage 2 interviews, the Constant Comparative Method (CCM) was used to acquire a dataset that constantly grew in detail and richness due to the evolution of the intervi...
