tourism as a livelihood source. These tasks are studied by using an
exploratory approach, with participant observation, interviews
through random and cluster sampling among villagers, local land
users and officials, as well as with land cover interpretation and
secondary statistical data. This book is relevant for educational
use together with policy input on the issues exploring livelihood
