Download or read book Le tourisme culturel written by Claude Origet du Cluzeau and published by De Boeck Supérieur. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ouvrage de référence initialement publié aux Presses Universitaires de France, Le tourisme culturel – dans une version totalement actualisée et enrichie – décrit la dynamique des rencontres entre des touristes à la curiosité culturelle plus ou moins vive, avec des sites artistiques et des patrimoines vivants. Il aborde la manière et les moyens mis en oeuvre pour mettre en tourisme des offres culturelles déjà célèbres ou encore émergentes – comme l’art contemporain – lesquelles s’avèrent de puissants facteurs attractifs de déplacements à travers l’Europe. Si le tourisme bouge et si la culture conserve, leur collaboration bien comprise génère de spectaculaires dynamiques territoriales qui affectent directement la compétition qui se joue entre villes et entre régions. L’ouvrage s’adresse plus particulièrement à deux ensembles de publics : celui des étudiants et de leurs professeurs en tourisme et culture, d’une part, et celui des aménageurs et gestionnaires de destinations touristiques et de patrimoines culturels, d’autre part. Mais il peut aussi toucher tous les pratiquants assidus ou occasionnels du tourisme culturel, pour leur en révéler les coulisses et leur démentir quelques idées reçues.
Download or read book Analyse de l impact du tourisme sur le d veloppement des territoires ruraux marginaux written by France Loubet and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalement, l'espace rural connaît une croissance démographique et de nouvelles dynamiques depuis 40 ans. Celles-ci ne sont cependant pas homogènes, et l'on peut encore parler de marginalité de certains territoires. Devant les enjeux actuels du tourisme pour les territoires, la question se pose de son rôle pour des territoires ruraux marginalisés. Comment évaluer l'impact que pourrait avoir le tourisme sur de tels territoires ? Au vu des liens identifiés par la littérature entre tourisme et développement rural, il apparaît nécessaire de recourir à un cadre théorique couplant approche territoriale et multidimensionnelle. En conséquence cette thèse mobilise à la fois les outils de l'économie territoriale et de l'approche par les capacités. L'approche par les capacités (AC) renouvelle la problématique des indicateurs et permet de prendre en compte la multiplicité des acteurs du territoire et du secteur touristique tout comme la complexité des liens. Il s'agit cependant d'un corpus théorique encore peu stabilisé qu'il est important de confronter aux données quantitatives et qualitatives. C'est pourquoi une méthodologie en deux étapes est expérimentée. La première mobilise des données secondaires (données de contexte). Dans cette première étape, l'objectif est double. Tout d'abord, identifier les territoires marginaux au sein de la région Rhône-Alpes. Ainsi, une structuration de l'espace rural est proposée (à travers la mise en œuvre d'une analyse en composantes principales) ainsi que des cartes d'aide à la décision politique. Dans une seconde étape, les résultats obtenus sont confrontés à des enquêtes de terrain réalisés auprès des acteurs des territoires. La mise en œuvre de cette méthode permet d'aboutir à différentes conclusions. D'une part sur le plan méthodologique, AC contribue à la construction d'un diagnostic à l'échelle des territoires. En effet, l'AC permet de s'interroger sur les dimensions importantes du développement sur les territoires, sur la construction d'indicateurs et enfin sur une nouvelle approche des dynamiques territoriales. D'autre part, le lien entre tourisme et développement rural est mis en évidence sous deux aspects. D'abord, son impact sur les grandes variables socio-économiques est minimisé à l'échelle des territoires ruraux marginaux. Cependant, il apparaît que le tourisme joue un rôle de catalyseur du développement local en renforçant le capital social des territoires ruraux analysés. Ainsi, une recommandation centrale peut être faite : pour favoriser le développement rural, le tourisme doit être accompagné. Le projet touristique devient alors en lui-même un catalyseur de développement local.

Book excerpt: La place du tourisme dans le cadre d’une dynamique de développement durable des territoires est une question centrale aujourd’hui. Notre travail comporte une analyse du rôles des opérateurs touristiques dans une dynamique de durabilité. Il se base tout d’abord sur une formalisation théorique qui permet de caractériser le produit touristique et l’entreprise touristique. La question que nous soulevons est d’étudier dans une vision évolutionniste, dans quelle mesure l’entreprise peut changer ses pratiques (ses routines), alors même qu’elle est un acteur idiosyncratique et artefactuelle. Nous, nous interrogerons sur les nouvelles voies de développement des territoires, les deux leviers étant, la qualité et l’innovation. Nous mettrons particulièrement en relief un territoire bien singulier : Andorre et ses nouvelles offres touristiques orientées vers une dynamique de durabilité. .
Download or read book The Geography of Innovation written by M.P. Feldman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a geographic dimension to the study of innovation and product commercialization. Building on the literature in economics and geography, this book demonstrates that product innovation clusters spatially in regions which provide concentrations of the knowledge needed for the commercialization process. The book develops a conceptual model which links the location of new product innovations to the sources of these knowledge inputs. The geographic concentration of this knowledge fonns a technological infrastructure which promotes infonnation transfers, and lowers the risks and the costs of engaging in innovative activity. Empirical estimation confinns that the location of product innovation is related to the underlying technological infrastructure, and that the location of the knowledge inputs are mutually reinforcing in defining a region's competitive advantage. The book concludes by considering the policy implications of these fmdings for both private finns and state governments. This work is intended for academics, policy practitioners and students in the fields of innovation and technological change, geography and regional science, and economic development. This work is part of a larger research effort to understand why the location of innovative activity varies spatially, specifically the externalities and increasing returns which accrue to location. xi Acknowledgements This work has benefitted greatly from discussions with friends and colleagues. I wish to specifically note the contribution of Mark Kamlet, Wes Cohen, Richard Florida, Zoltan Acs and David Audretsch.

Download or read book Turkish Migration Policy written by Ibrahim Sirkeci and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TURKISH MIGRATION POLICY, edited by Ibrahim Sirkeci and Barbara Pusch, aims to shed light on changes in migration policy, determinants beneath these changes, and practical implications for movers and non-movers in Turkey. Nevertheless, one should note that Turkey has only recently faced mass immigration and the number of foreign born has more than doubled in less than five years. Such sudden change in population composition warrants policy adjustments and reviews. Policy shift from "exporting excess labour" in the 1960s and 1970s to immigrant integration today is a drastic but necessary one. Nevertheless, Turkish migration policy is still far from settled as several chapters in this book point out. Despite the exemplary humanitarian engagement in admitting Syrians, Turkey is still at the bottom of the league table of favourable integration policies with an overall score of 25 out of 100. Turkish migration policy is likely to be adjusted further in response to the continuing immigration.

Download or read book Making Prestigious Places written by Mario Paris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2023-01-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Prestigious Places investigates the spatial dimension of luxury, both as a sector involving activities, operators and investments, and as a system of values acting as a catalyst for recent urban transformations. Luxury shares a well-established connection to the city, as a place of production, consumption and self-representation, and continues to grow despite economic difficulties. This edited collection includes case studies from Europe, North and South America, Asia and the Middle East to create a dialogue around these developments and the challenges presented, such as the tension between the idea of prestige and current values in urban planning, the discussion between academic reflections and operational practices, and how these interact with the long-term economic and social dynamic of the city. With rich analysis and a preface written by Patsy Healey, this book will be an important addition to the discourse on luxury for urban planners and researchers.
Download or read book Management Participation and Entrepreneurship in the Cultural and Creative Sector written by Martin Piber and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-24 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book elucidates and maps the societal impact of experience and heritage, participation, and entrepreneurship in the cultural sector. The contributions address and explore the relevance of culture, cultural entities, and heritage as collective memories and reservoirs of experience for other social systems, change and societal innovators like entrepreneurs. Insofar, cultural activities can be understood as a bridge between past experiences and future challenges. The first key focus is the participation of people in various contexts, initiatives, and projects. Such participation unleashes creativity and connects different societal layers – culture, economy, and innovation. Accordingly, a second focus is the entrepreneurial efforts and ideas that originate within arts and culture. Readers will find critical empirical and theoretical studies that challenge the current understandings of the cultural sector from different theoretical perspectives and with different methodological approaches. A variety of topics are explored within the thematic areas of cultural heritage, managerial practices, participation, and cultural entrepreneurship, as well as their inter-relations. Ultimately the aim is to provide the reader with a better understanding of the sometimes conflicting, sometimes mutually fertilizing areas of the arts, culture, business, management, and innovation. The book will be of interest to scholars, students, professionals, and policymakers.
Download or read book The Kurdish Issue in Turkey written by Zeynep Gambetti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gives a thorough and comprehensive analysis of the Kurdish issue in Turkey from a spatial perspective that takes into account geographical variations in identity formation, exclusion and political mobilisation. Although analysis of Turkey’s Kurdish issue from a spatial perspective is not new, spatial analyses are still relatively scarce. More often than not, Kurdish studies consist of time-centred work. In this book, the attention is shifted from outcome-oriented analysis of transformation in time towards a spatial analysis. The authors in this book discuss the spatial production of home, identity, work, in short, of being in the world. The contributions are based on the tacit avowal that the Kurdish question, in addition to being a question of group rights, is also one of spatial relations. By asking a different set of questions, this book examines; which spatial strategies have been employed to deal with Kurds? Which spatial strategies are developed by Kurds to deal with state, and with the neo-liberal turn? How are these strategies absorbed and what counter-strategies are developed, both in cities populated by the Kurds in south-eastern Turkey and in other regions? Emphasizing that identity or place, its particularity or uniqueness, arises from social practices and social relations, this book is essential reading for scholars and researchers working in Kurdish and Turkish Studies, Urban and Rural Studies and Politics more broadly.
Download or read book Understanding Mobilities for Designing Contemporary Cities written by Paola Pucci and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores mobilities as a key to understanding the practices that both frame and generate contemporary everyday life in the urban context. At the same time, it investigates the challenges arising from the interpretation of mobility as a socio-spatial phenomenon both in the social sciences and in urban studies. Leading sociologists, economists, urban planners and architects address the ways in which spatial mobilities contribute to producing diversified uses of the city and describe forms and rhythms of different life practices, including unexpected uses and conflicts. The individual sections of the book focus on the role of mobility in transforming contemporary cities; the consequences of interpreting mobility as a socio-spatial phenomenon for urban projects and policies; the conflicts and inequalities generated by the co-presence of different populations due to mobility and by the interests gathered around major mobility projects; and the use of new data and mapping of mobilities to enhance comprehension of cities. The theoretical discussion is complemented by references to practical experiences, helping readers gain a broader understanding of mobilities in relation to the capacity to analyze, plan and design contemporary cities.
Download or read book Boutiques and Other Retail Spaces written by David Vernet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-08-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a critical and theoretical dimension to retail design, Boutiques and Other Retail Spaces links the ideas behind it to real practice in this innovative and important contribution to architectural/interior theory literature. Retail structure has been subject to a dramatic and ongoing transformation over the past thirty years, materializing in the emergence of large-scale out-of-town shopping centres and new specialized shops in city centres. These specialized boutiques are highly designed, involving well-known architectural firms such as OMA/Rem Koolhaas, David Chipperfield, Herzog + de Meuron amongst others. With case studies and over 100 black and white images, Vernet and de Wit set forth original and well-grounded theory to accompany this popular and lucrative area of work.
