Biosphere Reserves and Sustainable Development Goals 1
Author: Angela Barthes
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786307804
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Since 1971, UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme has embraced a number of principles that link the political, scientific and academic spheres. Biosphere Reserves and Sustainable Development Goals 1 presents these areas as privileged spaces for experimenting with operating methods specific to cross-cutting objectives and issues. These areas encourage the development of interdisciplinary research, supported by a worldwide network to disseminate experience, approaches and knowhow. The various global and local political scales are linked here, with different consequences for the reconfiguration of local political arenas, for specific modes of development linked to a renewed relationship with knowledge, powers and institutions, and for renewed relationships between the worlds of science, education and territorial governance.

Power, Construction and Meaning in Festivals
Author: Allan Jepson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351664581
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Whether through education, sport or festivity, events form the basis on which we attribute cultural meaning, significance and value to our lives. In this light, community events have the potential to create positive and negative social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts within the community across a wide variety of genres and platforms. This book offers a deeper and more critical insight into the relationships, dynamics and planning processes of festivals and events and the impact this has upon authenticity, cultural consumption and the local communities they serve. It does so by looking at a range of key debates in power theory, event planning and design, event construction, experience and meaning, authenticity, sustainability, social inclusion, accessibility and sponsorship engagement. International case studies are embedded within the chapters, examining the role of stakeholders, local communities, organisers, local governments and infrastructure. This critical event studies text is interdisciplinary and will make valuable reading for students and researchers who are interested in the relationships and dynamics involved in the construction and planning of festivals and events, their immediate impact and their significance for the future.

L'écotourisme visité par les acteurs territoriaux
Author: Christiane Gagnon
Publisher: PUQ
ISBN: 2760532798
Category : Nature
Languages : fr
Pages : 363
Book Description
Face au modèle dominant d’aménagement de grands complexes hôteliers conçus pour satisfaire les besoins du tourisme de masse recherchant le soleil, la plage et l’amusement, l’écotourisme apparaît comme une solution réaliste de développement durable. Ce nouveau modèle, basé sur la conservation de l’environnement et sur la participation des communautés locales à l’activité touristique, représente un marché en croissance grandement convoité. Trois décennies après l’apparition de la notion d’écotourisme, qu’en est-il au juste ? Parlons-nous toujours d’un tourisme aux pratiques alternatives et responsables ou d’un concept marketing vide de sens dédié d’abord à l’attraction et à la fidélisation de nouvelles clientèles ? Aménagistes, économistes, géographes, gestionnaires, juristes et politicologues discutent des avancées et des limites de ce phénomène social. Se penchant sur des cas du Québec, de la France, des Antilles, de l’Europe et de l’Afrique, ils analysent les stratégies déployées par les acteurs de l’écotourisme et leurs impacts sur la dynamique sociospatiale des territoires. S’adressant tant aux chercheurs et intervenants du milieu touristique qu’aux amateurs d’écotourisme, cet ouvrage collectif vise à partager la signification et les composantes de l’écotourisme en soulignant des initiatives écotouristiques entreprises partout dans le monde. Il s’inscrit ainsi dans la lignée du premier opus dirigé par Christiane Gagnon, L’écotourisme, entre l’arbre et l’écorce, qui connaît un vif succès depuis sa parution en 2006.

Tourism Alternatives
Author: Valene L. Smith
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 151280746X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Tourism over the past three decades has grown phenomenally but is continually modified by ongoing events and forces—such as increasing or abating pollution and congestion issues, new forms of transportation, and altered economic, social, or political conditions. The contributions in this work are of great importance to the advancement of knowledge of tourism, and, as a first theoretical book in the area, it establishes a significant benchmark for subsequent tourism research. The volume includes contributions by tourism specialists from Australia, France, Canada, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States: Richard Butler, Professor of Geography, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada; Graham Dann, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of West Indies, Bridgetown, Barbados; Emanuel de Kadt, Director, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, Brighton, Sussex, United Kingdom; Bryan Farrell, Professor of Geography, University of California, Santa Cruz; Nelson H. Graburn, Professor of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley; Martinus J. Kosters, Director of the Netherlands Institute for Tourism and Transport, Breda; Marie-Françoise Lanfant, Director of Research, Centre Nationale de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris; Dennison Nash, Professor of Anthropology, University of Connecticut; Douglas G. Pearce, Professor of Geography, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand; John Pigram, Associate Professor of Geography and Planning and Executive Director, Center for Water Policy Research, University of New England, Armidale NSW, Australia; and Geoffrey Wall, Professor of Geography, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Tourism Alternatives is a provocative and important book that will be of interest to tourism planners at all levels of government and private enterprise, and to scholars and students in the fields of tourism and resort development.
