Book Description
Este libro es un proyecto académico en el que se presentan diversos debates teóricos, reflexiones, casos de estudio y experiencias en los que se profundiza en diversos ejes de análisis sobre el fenómeno turístico, sus impactos, tensiones y prácticas sociales relacionadas con la cultura. Es un aporte al análisis y profundización de esta temática, dada su importante trascendencia en América Latina. Esperamos que los artículos, que han sido producto de la reflexión teórica o de la práctica investigativa, aporten al avance del conocimiento en la relación entre estos ejes, a partir de reflexiones teóricas, casos de estudio y análisis comparativos en relación con diversos territorios que le apuestan al turismo El libro se estructura en tres ejes de análisis. El primero, relacionado con las “Políticas públicas y el turismo cultural”; el segundo, enfocado a las “Dinámicas sociales, culturales y simbólicas en las relaciones entre turismo y cultura” y, el último, aporta a la comprensión de las “Tensiones e impactos del turismo sobre la cultura”. Con ello se espera cubrir un amplio espectro de enfoques que den cuenta de los retos a los que se deben enfrentar los hacedores de políticas públicas, los gestores, la academia y los actores locales, en relación con la implementación de proyectos y acciones en diversos territorios con múltiples dinámicas sociales asociadas a estos procesos. En este proyecto editorial se vincularon investigadores con 17 artículos que desde diversos lugares del continente aportaron su trabajo para que esta iniciativa fuera una realidad y se tejiera un collage de múltiples y variadas posturas sobre esta temática en la región. El libro aporta un sinnúmero de reflexiones e interrogantes que podrían derivar en un futuro en proyectos de investigación que permitan generar una mayor comprensión de las complejas relaciones entre cultura y turismo.

Mapping Worlds
Author: Rob Kitchin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317996720
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
Social and cultural geography is practised by geographers from around the world. However, for various reasons including language and publishing traditions, knowledge of the research being undertaken can often remain confined to those working within those countries. This book draws together, for the first time into one volume, reports of social and cultural geography undertaken in several countries from around the world. It provides an important overview of geographic ideas and traditions, and the history of human geography more generally, allowing comparison between countries and details of key studies and references. As such, the book will be of interest to geographers schooled in different national traditions, and those interested in the production and history of geographic knowledge. Entries are written in both English and the country’s own national language.

Overtourism
Author: Claudio Milano
Publisher: CABI
ISBN: 1786399822
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
This book examines the evolution of the phenomenon and explores the genesis of overtourism and the system dynamics underlining it. The 'overtourism' phenomenon is defined as the excessive growth of visitors leading to overcrowding and the consequential suffering of residents, due to temporary and often seasonal tourism peaks, that lead to permanent changes in lifestyles, amenities and well- being. Enormous tensions in overtourism affected destinations have driven the intensification of policy making and scholarly attention toward seeking antidotes to an issue that is considered paradoxical and problematic. Moving beyond the 'top 10 things you can do about overtourism', this book examines the evolution of the phenomenon and explores the genesis of overtourism as well as the system dynamics underpinning it. With a rigorous scientific approach, the book uses systems-thinking and contemporary paradigms around sustainable development, resilience planning and degrowth; while considering global economic, socio-political, environmental discourses. Researchers, analysts, policy makers and industry stakeholders working within tourism as well as those within the private sector, community groups, civil society groups and NGOs will find this book an essential source of information.

Cultural Parks and National Heritage Areas
Author: Pablo Alonso González
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443854123
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
The number of cultural parks has been steadily increasing in recent years throughout the world. But what is a cultural park? This book provides a detailed answer to this question and sets out the basis for an academic debate that moves beyond the technical narratives that have prevailed to date. It is important to open up the topic to academic scrutiny given that cultural parks are becoming widespread devices being employed by different institutions and social groups to manage and enhance cultural and natural heritage assets and landscapes. The main problem in dealing with this topic is the predominant lack of theory-grounded, critical reflection in the literature about cultural parks. These remain largely conceived as technical instruments deployed by institutions in order to solve an array of problems they must deal with. As cultural parks are generally regarded as positive and constructive tools whose performance is associated with the preservation of heritage, the overcoming of the nature/culture divide, the reinforcing of identity and memory and the strengthening of social cohesion and economic development, this book critically explores these issues through the analysis of the literature on cultural parks. In addition, it provides a novel theoretical conceptualization of cultural parks that is connected with, and underpins, a tentative methodology developed for their empirical analysis.
