This mixed methods study examines factors that influence residents' perceptions toward tourism development in Chuuk and the relevance of “complexity theory” in describing the island's stage of development. Empirical evidence and data triangulation corroborate general support for tourism development and sensitivity to cultural impacts, economic impacts, social impacts, environmental impacts, local control and sustainability. Economic and cultural impacts were the strongest factors influencing perceptions and are most significant to sustainable development and destination development. This reflects residents' beliefs that the island will benefit from tourism because of perceived improvements in the economy, infrastructure, tourist facilities and expanded social amenities. It also reflects residents' expectations for long term planning, managed growth, and laws to protect the environment. Some differences and similarities are noted between sampled residents living in Chuuk and Guam.

    Hon. Yosiwo P. George Eighth Vice President of the Federated States of Micronesia George was born in Kosrae on July 24th, 1941. His rich and varied public and political life started during the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) and has continued through today. His public service experiences began as an Engineer Trainee at the Pohnpei Transportation Authority, later as a classroom teacher in Kolonia Elementary School, and then as the TTPI Social Security manager in Saipan. George later served as Kosrae's Lieutenant Governor for a partial term, when he was appointed by the 1st President of the FSM, Tosiwo Nakayama, as the Director of Department of Social Services with foci on health, education, and community services. After many accomplishments in the Department of Social Services, George was reminded again of his home in Kosrae, and ran for Governor of Kosrae State, where he served two full and consecutive terms. George was then appointed by President Bailey Olter to serve as the Ambassador of the FSM to the United Nations, where he served with distinction for three years. International service on behalf of the FSM inspired George to run for a seat in the Congress of the FSM, and in the 10th Congress he began his service as a Senator for four years. George was later appointed by Governor Rensley Sigrah to serve as the Chief Justice for Kosrae State Court, where he served until 2006 when he was then called upon by President Manny Mori to serve as the Administrator for MiCare. After several years of dedicated service, President Mori appointed George to be the Ambassador of the FSM to the United States, which additional accreditation to the State of Israel.

    THE MICRONESIA INSTITUTE, INC. 1983-2003 A Twenty-year Review c/o Patricia Luce Chapman 6 Spoonbill Lane Rockport, TX 78382 [email protected] * 361/790-5715 THE MICRONESIA INSTITUTE, INC. - 1 - THE MICRONESIA INSTITUTE, INC. 1983-2003 A Twenty-year Review The Micronesia Institute is being restructured by Micronesian leaders to enable the islanders better to meet some of their common needs in this new 21st Century A summary of its founding, and the programs and people who have taken part in the development of this singular private organization -- which embraces all the peoples of the Micronesian cultural area -- shows that the focus of the organization has been on education, privatization and volunteerism in the fields of: ** private sector business growth ** cultural preservation and development ** training in preventive health care ** program assistance to private organizations The Institute, with an extremely limited budget and staff, found it necessary to focus on areas where it observed the greatest need, where its work was most requested, and where there were strong Micronesians working to improve the lives of the people. No disrespect was intended for areas that may not have received as much attention as others, nor was the friendship and affection any less. Sometimes the intentions of the Institute were misconstrued due to unfamiliarity with private sector practice, or transportation obstacles were unsolvable; these impacted some programs. In other cases, projects did not receive the necessary funding and could not be carried out. In many cases, pilot programs later were adapted by larger organizations. Often the MI could also serve by enabling others to make gifts through the MI umbrella.
