Catching feelings in nature: experiential insights about access and inclusion in parks, protected and other conserved areas
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An ongoing lack of universally designed infrastructure and programming across the tourism system excludes persons with a disability and other accessibility seeking travelers. In nature-based tourism contexts, limited studies have documented interactions among the diversity of accessibility seeking travelers and the physical, attitudinal, and informational barriers known to exist in nature spaces. This research draws on the lived experiences of a small and diverse group of people as they navigate their accessibility requirements and rights to parks, protected and other conserved areas in northern British Columbia, Canada. Observations documenting in/accessible experiences in nature spaces are recorded using photovoice and field journals grounded in a collaborative auto-ethnographic approach. A thematic analysis surfaced themes relating to the importance of providing access to distinctive encounters in parks and how these experiences relate to infrastructure and social practices. Analysis also identified the need for cognitive space for tourists to embrace desired embodiments in nature and participate in information systems that connect tourists to diverse knowledge systems and sustainability thinking. Findings from this work offer important insights into the value of lived experience as a management input as well as options for engaging diverse communities in a conversation about park accessibility.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
