Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Traditionally dependent on extractive resource industries, communities located in peripheral regions of British Columbia are searching for economic diversification opportunities. Valemount, a small mountain community in central British Columbia, has recently attracted two large-scale resort development proposals. Based on a survey of local residents in Valemount, this paper examines residents' attitudes to tourism-induced socio-economic and recreational opportunities, and the future of tourism development. Linkages are explored between community attachment, community satisfaction, community concerns and tourism-related attitudes. Results indicate that the majority of residents are positive about tourism development. While resident satisfaction with current opportunities is low, and some residents are concerned about the negative impacts of tourism development, residents perceive that the potential benefits of tourism development outweigh its negative impacts. The positive reactions to tourism development should be seen in the context of declining importance of forestry and the lack of other economic opportunities. Research results serve as baseline information for monitoring resident attitudes in the future, and as a basis for initiating local level consultation processes for future tourism projects.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
