Download or read book Le Tourisme outil de revitalisation des territoires ruraux et de d veloppement durable written by Marie-Françoise Pérol-Dumont and published by La Documentation Française. This book was released on 2005 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La modification profonde des relations ville/campagne s'est accompagnée du renouveau démographique d'une large part des territoires ruraux. Cette évolution se caractérise également par l'amélioration de leur accessibilité et par la diversification de leurs usages productifs (industriels comme agricoles), mais aussi désormais plus nettement résidentiels, récréatifs et voués à la protection de l'environnement. Cette mutation des rapports entre espaces ruraux et urbains qui n'est d'ailleurs pas sans conséquence sur l'offre et la demande touristique, conduit à s'interroger sur le rôle du tourisme dans le développement rural et son adaptation à la diversité des situations. Nourrie par de nombreuses études locales, notre analyse s'oppose à l'idée intuitive selon laquelle le tourisme serait exclusivement réservé aux seuls espaces déjà fortement spécialisés. Elle montre comment l'activité touristique peut répondre aux besoins de nombreux types de territoires ruraux, avec cependant des ambitions et des effets différenciés. L'ouvrage précise les modalités nécessaires pour concilier les objectifs économiques et sociaux et l'environnement de manière à maintenir durablement l'attractivité des territoires et le développement qui en résulte. Il souligne la diversité des démarches adoptées localement pour atteindre cet objectif et met en évidence les types d'action publique nécessaires pour relayer et activer ces dynamiques territoriales. Elaboré grâce à une forte implication de nombreux acteurs locaux, ce rapport s'adresse à un large public ainsi qu'aux élus et autres opérateurs territoriaux dont il valorise les expériences et auxquels il est dédié.

Download or read book Tourism Imaginaries written by Noel B. Salazar and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hard to imagine tourism without the creative use of seductive, as well as restrictive, imaginaries about peoples and places. These socially shared assemblages are collaboratively produced and consumed by a diverse range of actors around the globe. As a nexus of social practices through which individuals and groups establish places and peoples as credible objects of tourism, “tourism imaginaries” have yet to be fully explored. Presenting innovative conceptual approaches, this volume advances ethnographic research methods and critical scholarship regarding tourism and the imaginaries that drive it. The various authors contribute methodologically as well as conceptually to anthropology’s grasp of the images, forces, and encounters of the contemporary world.

Download or read book Tourism Dynamics in Everyday Places written by Aurélie Condevaux and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title offers a dynamic understanding of tourism, usually defined in terms of clearly circumscribed places and temporalities, to grasp its changing spatial patterns. The first part looks at the "befores" – everyday places such as daily markets, flea markets, urban neighbourhoods, that have captured the tourists’ interest and have progressively experienced new development in their ordinary patterns. The second part investigates the "afters" – former tourist spaces moving beyond the tourism sphere and becoming places of everyday life, study, or work. Chapters explore what this means for local societies and examine this contemporary phenomenon of former tourist attractions becoming ordinary and everyday, and of ordinary places beginning to take on a tourist dimension. The hybridisation of tourist practices and ordinary practices is also explored through a range of international case studies and examples written by highly regarded and interdisciplinary academics. This edited volume will be of great interest to upper-level students, academics, and researchers in tourism, urban studies, and land use planning.

Book excerpt: "Caribbean cities are a unique yet underexposed phenomenon. Their distinctiveness results from a combination of interrelated factors including a history of slavery, development under the hemispheric hegemony of the United States and spatial limitations imposed by the settings of most Caribbean urban areas." "This innovative volume presents a detailed introduction to the spatial, socio-cultural and economic characteristics of the Caribbean city, followed by case studies of selected cities in the Dutch, Hispanophone, Francophone and Anglophone Caribbean. It discusses a broad range of disciplinary approaches in examining the urban Caribbean, incorporating perspectives from anthropology, sociology, history, political science, geography and literary and cultural criticism."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Creating Greater Malaysia written by Tai Yong Tan and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2008 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaysia came into existence on 9/16/63 as a federation of Malaya, Singapore, Sabah (North Borneo), and Sarawak; in 1965 Singapore withdrew from the federation. Offers an in-depth and detailed analysis of the political processes that led to formation of the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. It argues that the Malaysia that came into being following the amalgamation of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and North Borneo was a political creation whose only rationale was that it served a convergence of political and economic expediency for the departing colonial power, the Malayan leadership and the ruling party of self-governing Singapore. 'Greater Malaysia' was thus an artificial political entity, the outcome of a concatenation of interests and motives of a number of political actors in London and Southeast Asia from the 1950s to the early 1960s. This led to a number of unresolved compromises between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and did not obviate the possibility of future difficulties, and the seeds of dissension sown by the disagreements between the two governments were to sprout into major crises during Singapore's brief history in the Federation of Malaysia.
