While many de- veloping nations have benefited from the positive effects that ppt brings to their local economies, many communities are left behind due to their lack of capacity to conduct tourism activities. To develop local communities and introduce ppt, top- down (td) and bottom-up (bu) approaches have often been adopted; however, these approaches cannot yield expected outcomes without strong stakeholder intermedi- aries who play a crucial role in overcoming key challenges inherited in community capacity building. This study examines the roles of four types of stakeholder interme- diaries commonly discussed in community capacity building. Based on their roles and limitations, the study presents a framework that proposes a context in which each type of stakeholder intermediary contributes prominently to successful com- munity capacity building. The study provides valuable insights into how scholars and practitioners can consider the selection and application of different types of stake- holder intermediaries in community capacity building for the successful adaptation of ppt.

Environmentalism in South Africa: A Sociopolitical Perspective FARIEDA KHAN I. Introduction South Africa is a country that has undergone dramatic political changes in recent years, transforming itself from a racial autocracy to a democratic society in which discrimination on racial and other grounds is forbidden, and the principle of equality is enshrined in the Constitution. These political changes have been reflected in the envi- ronmental sector which, similarly, has transformed its wildlife-cen- tered, preservationist approach (appealing mainly to the affluent, white minority), to a holistic conservation ideology which incorporates social, economic, and political, as well as ecological, aspects. Nevertheless, despite the fact

  • Communities, Conservation, and Tourism-Based
    Communities, Conservation, and Tourism‐based Development: Can community‐based nature tourism live up to its promise? Robin L. Turner Abstract This working paper draws from research on the Makuleke Region of Kruger Park, South Africa, to analyze the opportunities and tensions generated by efforts to use conservation‐based tourism as a catalyst for community development. By attending to the political economies in which effort is embedded, I seek to enrich our theorizations of community‐based natural resource management. This paper represents an initial step in that direction; the Makuleke case is used to identify and think through the implications of nature tourism for participating communities. Like many other protected areas, the origins of the Makuleke Region lie in convergence of dispossession, forced removal, and conservation. The Makuleke, who consider the land their ancestral home, were forcibly removed in the late 1960s so that the land could be incorporated into Kruger National Park. They regained title in 1998, and have subsequently pursued economic development through conservation. While co‐managing the Region with SANParks, the parastatal that manages all national protected areas, the Makuleke have sought to develop a tourism initiative that will produce economic self reliance and development. In adopting this strategy, the Makuleke are engaging with local, national, and international political economies over which community actors have limited room for maneuver. This case brings three factors to light. First, the legacy of fortress conservation may make it more difficult for community actors to engage with their partners on an equal basis. Second, sectoral attributes of tourism pose special challenges to CBNRM initiatives; it is not clear that tourism projects will produce substantial benefits.
