Conducting Importance–Performance Analysis for Human–Elephant Conflict Management Surrounding a National Park in Vietnam

In this paper, we present a conceptual framework of human–elephant conflict (HEC) management embodying community aspects gleaned from the importance–performance analysis (IPA) for a National Park in Vietnam. Nine approaches were proposed to prevent and mitigate HEC (HEC indicators), of which six fel...
