Nearly half of the residents of North and South Carolina use decentralized or onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS). As the climate changes, coastal communities relying on OWTS are particularly vulnerable, as soil-based wastewater treatment may be reduced by water inundation from storm surge, sea level rise and associated groundwater rise, and heavy rainfall. Despite the vulnerabilities of OWTS to increased precipitation and sea level rise, there is little known about how onsite wastewater managers are responding to current and future climate risks. We conducted interviews with wastewater operators and installers and health regulators to understand the functioning, management, and regulation of OWTS in the current climate, challenges with rising sea levels and increases in extreme weather events, and what adaptation strategies could be implemented to mitigate negative impacts. Our results indicate that heavy precipitation and storm surges cause malfunctions for conventional septic systems where traditional site variables (e.g. soil type, groundwater level) are undesirable. Weather and climate are not required regulatory factors to consider in system selection and site approval, but many OWTS managers are aware of their impacts on the functioning of systems, and some are preemptively taking action to mitigate those impacts. Our findings suggest that filling gaps in the current communication structure between regulators and homeowners relying on OWTS is critical for coastal communities in the Carolinas to build climate resilience into decentralized wastewater infrastructure.}, number={4}, journal={WEATHER CLIMATE AND SOCIETY}, author={Vorhees, Lauren and Harrison, Jane and O'Driscoll, Michael and Humphrey, Charles, Jr. and Bowden, Jared}, year={2022}, month={Oct}, pages={1287–1305} }

Yet, they are frequently subjected to social, psychological, and economic stressors which can result in isolation from destination communities or limited interest in participation in the tourism workforce. Both of these outcomes threaten the sustainability of tourism businesses and destinations, but more importantly create a working environment that can be unjust or unsafe for tourism workforce members. This study relies upon the community capitals framework to identify the resources that currently support the tourism workforce in an island community whose economic and social structure is heavily reliant upon tourism. Analysis of data from in-depth interviews and focus groups with thirty-seven tourism stakeholders reveals the social, cultural, human, and natural capital assets used to support a tourism workforce. An “investment portfolio” for these capitals offers development strategies that can be implemented to help sustain the tourism workforce.}, number={12}, journal={JOURNAL OF SUSTAINABLE TOURISM}, author={Knollenberg, Whitney and Brune, Sara and Harrison, Jane and Savage, Ann E.}, year={2022}, month={Dec}, pages={2806–2822} }

Respondents were placed in hypothetical situations in which they voted on increased menhaden fishery quotas with varying changes in ecosystem impacts. The motivation for the vote was to better inform the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission about the opinions of the general public in the region. We found that increases in ex-vessel price increased the probability that a respondent would vote in favor of a quota increase. After accounting for both stated and inferred attribute non-attendance we found that increases in menhaden quotas and commercial fishing jobs increased the probability that a respondent would vote in favor of a quota increase. Increased quotas that make water quality worse and negatively affect game fish and shore bird populations led to a decrease in the probability of a vote for increased quotas.

However, migrants are not always well integrated into the communities that they support, leaving them, the tourism industry, and tourism-dependent communities vulnerable. Set in a community where migrants have been welcomed and well integrated this study utilized in-depth interviews and focus groups with migrants, residents, tourism business owners, and policymakers to identify strategies that have helped Hispanic migrants integrate into a tourism-dependent community. Analysis of this qualitative data was guided by the social exclusion framework. This analysis revealed how economic, social, political, and cultural dimensions play a role in migrants’ integration into the community. The findings reveal the importance of applying a multidimensional approach to integrating migrants into tourism-dependent communities—e.g. language, an element of the social dimension, facilitated activities related to the political dimension. Based upon these findings multiple strategies for integrating migrants into tourism-dependent communities are presented. These strategies move the literature beyond a descriptive identification of the challenges migrants face in integrating into tourism-dependent communities. Such strategies provide opportunities for tourism-dependent communities to improve the well-being of the tourism industry through the well-being of migrants.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF POLICY RESEARCH IN TOURISM LEISURE AND EVENTS}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Knollenberg, Whitney and Brune, Sara and Harrison, Jane and Savage, Ann}, year={2021}, month={Jan}, pages={1–19} }

Econometric models that account for the endogeneity of poverty and social capital, spatial dependence, and cross-equation error correlation were used to explore two questions: is the presence of social capital associated with reduced poverty levels and does the presence of poverty impact social capital stocks? We found evidence that communities with higher social capital levels tend to have lower poverty rates and that poverty may pose barriers to social capital formation. This suggests that policies to reduce poverty will be more effective if coupled with policies to support social capital formation. The study's findings are particularly salient for communities in persistent poverty. These results emerged only after accounting for endogeneity and spatial relationships. Because many factors contributing to well-being are jointly determined with well-being and indicators of well-being are frequently spatially clustered, this situation is likely to be more common than has been typically recognized in the literature.}, journal={JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL AND EXPERIMENTAL ECONOMICS}, author={Harrison, Jane L. and Montgomery, Claire A. and Jeanty, P.

The study reveals social capital to be a critical ingredient in the resolution of diverse community development events. The findings enhance our understanding of the impacts of social capital on community outcomes by dividing the concept into three types—bonding, bridging, and linking social capital. Social capital does not translate linearly into community outcomes. Generally, community members stressed the importance of bridging social capital to achieve community-wide desired outcomes. Yet strong bridging social capital had no potency when linking social capital with key power brokers was absent. Finally, the case-study approach reveals how social capital is created and can be built up or depleted. The findings are applicable to community development practitioners, rural community leaders, and public land managers that interface with forest communities.}, number={5}, journal={SOCIETY & NATURAL RESOURCES}, author={Harrison, Jane L. and Montgomery, Claire A. and Bliss, John C.}, year={2016}, month={May}, pages={525–539} }
