Der Binnentourismus in den ASEAN-Staaten wird an Hand von vorhandenen statistischen Daten untersucht. Durch Befragungen thailändischer Binnentouristen wird darüber hinaus die Datenerhebung ausgeweitet, um die vorhandenen statistischen Daten zu ergänzen und zu verifizieren. Hierbei wird insbesonders untersucht, in wieweit der Binnentourismus in den Ländern wahrgenommen wird, welche Bevölkerungsgruppen sich daran beteiligen, welche Interessen sie dabei verfolgen und welche Auswirkungen der Binnentourismus in physiognomischer und sozio-kultureller Hinsicht mit sich bringt.
Located at the interface of land and sea, Caribbean mangroves frequently experience severe disturbances by hurricanes, but in most cases storm-impacted mangrove forests are able to regenerate. How exactly regeneration proceeds, however, is still a matter of debate: does—due to the specific site conditions—regeneration follows a true auto-succession with exactly the same set of species driving regeneration that was present prior to the disturbance, or do different trajectories of regeneration exist? Considering the fundamental ecosystem services mangroves provide, a better understanding of their recovery is crucial. The Honduran island of Guanaja offers ideal settings for the study of regeneration dynamics of storm-impacted mangrove forests. The island was hit in October 1998 by Hurricane Mitch, one of the most intense Atlantic storms of the past century. Immediately after the storm, 97% of the mangroves were classified as dead. In 2005, long-term monitoring on the regeneration dynamics of the mangroves of the island was initiated, employing permanent line-transects at six different mangrove localities all around the island, which have been revisited in 2009 and 1016. Due to the pronounced topography of the island, different successional pathways emerge depending on the severity of the previous disturbance.
