Honors Theses

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is known for its coastal beauty and the tourism that comes from the recreational activities associated with the water.

There is a need for greater understanding about what local divers value in their diving experiences and how this might lead to greater satisfaction with this activity.

Japanese Society and Culture

It is difficult to theorize regional revitalization due to the differences in the characteristics of each local government.

The paper also shows that the attraction …
