Abstract
This study uses a research example from Kauai about the impacts tourism has on other key elements in a complex system to guide participants through a mapping systems exercise. This exercise will help participants understand the interconnection and interdependencies within systems that help or hinder tourism, and which in turn affect the populations and environment in which tourism occurs.
