Description

"This report examines a case study of how those benefits may accrue within an Indigenous community, and the implications of that for wider systems of benefit classification. It uses a mixed methods approach - an extensive literature review is combined with the case-study involving both qualitative research and collaborative film production. This research aimed to identify a diverse array of potential community benefits through in-depth engagement with a case study where, based on the program circumstances, good prospects existed to identify such benefits. This study did not aim to generate a quantitatively representative account of benefits across a particular ranger program, or indeed across the sector as a whole. Rather, it aimed for in-depth research that complements other recent studies, notably a larger scale, predominantly survey-based review of the social benefits of the Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) program." - Page 1, Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).,
