(August 2009) Carter Allan Hunt, B.A. University of Kentucky; M.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Amanda Stronza This research examines ecotourism outcomes in the context of large-scale tourism development in Nicaragua and focuses on Morgan’s Rock Hacienda and Ecolodge. Since ecotourism involves the imposition of Western constructs of nature, biodiversity, communities and conservation, our attempts to evaluate or certify ecotourism are likewise derived from these constructs. Failing to recognize the context where ecotourism occurs may lead to evaluations that place excessive emphasis on poor performance while overlooking relative successes.

  • William Walker and the Nicaraguan Filibuster War of 1855-1857
    ELLIS, JOHN C. William Walker and the Nicaraguan Filibuster War of 1855-1857. (1973) Directed by: Dr. Franklin D. Parker. Pp. 118 The purpose of this paper is to show how William Walker was toppled from power after initially being so i • successful in Nicaragua. Walker's attempt at seizing Nicaragua from 1855 to 1857 caused international conster- ■ nation not only throughout Central America but also in the capitals of Washington and London. Within four months of entering Nicaragua with only I fifty-seven followers. Walker had brought Nicaragua under his domination. In July, 1856 Walker had himself inaugurated as President of Nicaragua. However, Walker's amazing career in Nicaragua was to last only briefly, as the opposition of the Legitimists in Nicaragua coupled with the efforts of the other Central American nations removed Walker from power. Walker's ability as a military commander in the use of military strategy and tactics did not shine forth like his ability to guide and lead men. Walker did not learn from his mistakes. He attempted to use the same military tactics over and over, especially in attempts to storm towns which if properly defended were practically impreg- nable fortresses. Walker furthermore abandoned without a fight several strong defensive positions which could have been used to prevent or deter the Allied offensives. Administratively, Walker committed several glaring errors. The control of the Accessory Transit Company was a very vital issue, but Walker dealt with it as if it were of minor im- portance. The outcome of his dealings with the Accessory Transit Company was a great factor in his eventual overthrow as President of Nicaragua.

In this study, an integrated method for the planning and management of the territory is proposed, which includes the evaluation of sustainability. A total of 15 different land-use classes were estimated in 80 sampling units distributed regularly along the Pacific coastline of Nicaragua and classified to determine land management sectors. For each of the identified sectors, the ecological, economic, social, and productive dimensions were evaluated independently, handling a total of 53 variables from different databases, by means of ordination multivariate factor analysis. Subsequently, the four dimensions were integrated into a model and the results were evaluated based on their similarity with theoretical development scenarios, assessed by discriminant analysis. Among these, the scenarios considered as a goal for sustainability in the studied area were present. On the Pacific coast of Nicaragua, Citation: González-Quiroz, O.; productive and economic activities are currently prioritized, without having an integrated planning Belliure, J.; Gómez-Sal, A.

  • An Illness Called Managua
    Working Papers Series No.37 - Cities and Fragile States - AN ILLNESS CALLED MANAGUA Dennis Rodgers Crisis States Research Centre May 2008 Crisis States Working Papers Series No.2 ISSN 1749-1797 (print) ISSN 1749-1800 (online) Copyright © D. Rodgers, 2008 Crisis States Research Centre An illness called Managua Dennis Rodgers1 Crisis States Research Centre Abstract: This paper focuses on Managua’s urban development in order to explore the underlying dynamics of post-revolutionary Nicaraguan society, using the city’s evolution as a window onto the evolution of the country’s political economy, but also highlighting its role as a major contributing factor shaping the specific transformations that this particular political economy has undergone. It begins by providing a view from barrio Luis Fanor Hernández, a low-income neighbourhood in the city which graphically encapsulates the general movement of Nicaraguan society from a sense of revolution-fuelled collective purpose in the 1970s and 1980s to more individualised and segregated socio-spatial practices in the 1990s and 2000s. The paper then moves on to consider Managua’s development more broadly in order to seek further insights into the underlying nature of this particular trajectory. The changing morphology of the city, its determinants, and the key actors involved, all point to salient elements to be taken into account in order to attain a more nuanced comprehension of the logic of post-revolutionary Nicaragua, which is then explored in a third section. What emerges starkly from this threefold panorama is that while the particular urban development of Managua can be seen as a reflection of the persistent oligarchic structure of Nicaraguan society, it is also a major pathological factor – an ‘illness’, one might say – that contributes to the perpetuation of this oligarchic configuration, albeit in a renewed form.

  • Restaurant Holding One of the Largest Tree-Supported Platforms in the World
    Cut me Welcome to 01 Nicaragua Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America. The landscape is tropical and diverse with more than 400 volcanic structures, two large lakes, and the second largest rain forest in the western hemisphere after the Amazon basin. The diverse habitats (over 70 unique ecosystems) allow for a tremendous variety of mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, amphibians and sea life. Orchids, bromeliads, and precious hardwoods all flourish in Nicaragua and there are still remote places that have yet to be severely impacted by human presence. 01 SAN JUAN DEL SUR San Juan del Sur is a municipality and coastal town on the Pacific Ocean, in the Rivas department in southwest Nicaragua. It is located 140 kilometres (87 mi) south of Managua. San Juan del Sur is popular among surfers and is a vacation spot for many Nicaraguan families and foreign tourists. The coastline is characterized with many horse-shoe shaped bays and western facing beaches, many still uncrowded. The most popular beaches are a short drive from TreeCasa and include Playa Maderas, Playa Hermosa and Playa Remanso. With a little exploration, you can find many others. CHRIST OF THE MERCY A statue of the Christ of the Mercy sits above town on the northern end of the bay on one of the highest points and is one of the tallest Jesus statues in the world. It is possible to hike up for a visit. *There are many other sites and attractions nearby. Please check our activity book to discover other local experiences. About 02 TreeCasa TreeCasa was forged from a collaborative vision to create a space of immersive and interactive experiences unlike any other.
