Abstract：
In the Solomon Islands and around the Pacific there is commonly a disconnect between government priorities for economic development through resource extraction and community aspirations for local resource management, conservation, and alternative pathways to livelihoods development, which includes tourism. Nowhere is this disconnect more stark than in communities on Rennell Island, within the region\'s oldest inscribed World Heritage area. These communities have so far resisted extractive industry development but have not yet benefited from inscription. Alternative livelihood opportunities compatible with a conservation economy are a priority. Our research objective was to explore community aspirations and priorities. We used Q-methodology to reveal discourses associated with conservation, livelihoods generation, and drivers of well-being and then evaluated these aspirations in scenarios in a socio-ecological system. We revealed three factors, each aligned with conservation and tourism development with clear opposition to extractive industries. Key differences focussed on immediate personal circumstances, attachment to kastom, and food and water security. Our research points to clear support for the area\'s continued conservation and for livelihood pathways that might secure this but low capacity to pursue this. Notwithstanding, the communities\' patience is wearing thin and there is growing cynicism about the role of World Heritage protection as a route towards livelihoods development.
摘要：
在所罗门群岛和太平洋地区，政府通过资源开采实现经济发展的优先事项与社区对地方资源管理的愿望之间通常存在脱节。养护,以及生计发展的替代途径，其中包括旅游业。没有什么地方比Rennell岛上的社区更明显了，在该地区最古老的世界遗产区域内。迄今为止，这些社区一直抵制采掘业的发展，但尚未从铭文中受益。与保护性经济相适应的替代生计机会是优先事项。我们的研究目标是探索社区的愿望和优先事项。我们使用Q方法来揭示与保护相关的话语，生计一代，和福祉的驱动因素，然后在社会生态系统的情景中评估这些愿望。我们揭示了三个因素，每个都与保护和旅游业发展保持一致，明确反对采掘业。主要分歧集中在眼前的个人情况，对kastom的依恋，粮食和水的安全。我们的研究指出，明确支持该地区的持续保护和生计途径，可以确保这一点，但实现这一目标的能力较低。尽管如此,社区的耐心越来越弱，人们对世界遗产保护作为生计发展途径的作用越来越愤世嫉俗。
