This present research has investigated the perceptions of Haitians regarding social, economic and environmental impacts which tourism development might have in rural area of Haiti. Three sites were chosen as low, moderate and high regarding their increased flow of visitors annually. The researcher used the ethnographer's approach where a domain analysis was built by gathering data from local people. This domain analysis was then tested by interviewing more local people. A population of eighty vacationers (adults, students and professionals) randomly chosen was surveyed. Nonparametric tests were used to analyze collected data during the summer of 2003 in Haiti. The perceptions of locals become more positive (or negative) with the increased flow of visitors. The perceptions of vacationers about social impacts of tourism were more negative among older vacationers rather than younger vacationers. Locals and vacationers had different perceptions toward the future development of tourism in rural Haiti. / Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management

Partindo das promessas de reconstrução do país e das políticas implementadas pela Internacional Comunitária, a tese procura mostrar que, na verdade, está vigorando no Haiti atualmente uma realidade de tipo colonial, qual, à luz do que já estava acontecendo no país, deixa tudo encaminhado para que apenas as estruturas cujo papel é administrar essa ordem de condenação à precariedade sejam (re)construídas pela ajuda internacional. Para tal demonstrar, a tese procura desvelar as raízes históricas das relações internacionais no Haiti tentando reconstituir o processo e analisar as condições pelas quais se operou o deslizamento do país na tamanha degradação e desumanização da vida das quais padece hoje. Num segundo momento, a pesquisa busca estudar as raízes ontológico-filosóficas desse estado de coisas, examinando principalmente a categoria de modernidade e seu papel na estruturação da sociedade haitiana, realçando principalmente seu lado camuflado ¿ o lado colonial, explorador, como outra parte constitutiva de seu projeto civilizatório dito emancipador. Desta maneira, o estudo estabelece a participação da chamada Comunidade internacional na construção sócio-histórica da catástrofe de janeiro de 2010 que afundou ainda mais as trabalhadoras e os trabalhadores haitianos na mais desumana precariedade imposta, entretanto, como norma de existência. A partir desse ângulo de visão, é argumentado nesta tese que o desastre de 2010 merece ser inscrito no continuum do que é o Haiti: uma anomalia histórica impensável no âmbito do pensamento moderno/colonial/escravista ocidental, uma vez que o Haiti representa o único exemplo na Historia de um povo escravizado que rompeu com os suas correntes e forçou pelas armas uma grande potência colonial/moderna a recuar / Abstract: This thesis presents an analysis of the Haitian social formation in the context of the earthquake that rocked the country on January 12, 2010. Based on the promises of reconstruction and the policies implemented by the International Communitary, the thesis seeks to show that, in fact, is currently in force in Haiti a colonial type of reality, which, in light of what was already happening in the country, lets all routed so that only those structures whose role is to administer this order of condemnation of precariousness may be (re)constructed through international aid. To demonstrate this, the thesis seeks to reveal the historical roots of international relations in Haiti trying to reconstruct the process and analyze the conditions under which has been operated a sliding of the country in such degradation and dehumanization of life which suffers today. In the same purpose, the research seeks to study the ontological-philosophical roots of this state of things, mainly examining the category of modernity and its role in the structuring of Haitian society, particularly highlighting his camouflaged side ¿ the colonial one, explorer, as another constituent part of its civilizing project, called emancipator. Thus, the study establishes the participation of the international communitary called on the socio-historical construction of the January 2010 disaster that sank even more Haitian workers in the most inhuman precariousness imposed, however, as standard of their existence. From this angle of view, it is argued in this thesis that the 2010 disaster should be entered in the continuum that is Haiti: an unthinkable historical anomaly in the context of modern/colonial/western slavery thought, since Haiti is the only example in history of an enslaved people who broke with his chains and forced by arms a great modern/colonial power to retreat / Doutorado / Sociologia / Doutor em Sociologia
