商品描述

This book examines rural tourism across three different contexts, acknowledging the complexity of rural places. It applies a systematic comparative framework across nine case studies from Australia, Canada and Sweden. The case studies address the uniqueness of different rural spaces, while the framework incorporates many theoretical aspects from human geography including spatial, historic, institutional, demographic, socio-economic and network perspectives. In the course of applying this comparative case study framework, the book identifies numerous implications for planning and policy in rural settings.

These contributions from international, expert authors help to identify the opportunities and challenges that affect rural regions, from places at the urban fringe to exotic remote spaces and taking in the 'boring bits in between.' Both the analysis and the framework used will be of value to scholars and students of rurality, tourism, regional development, rural policy, geography, and destination management. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the rural context in developed countries and a robust conceptualization of rural tourism geographies.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了三種不同背景下的農村旅遊，承認農村地區的複雜性。它應用了一個系統的比較框架，涵蓋來自澳大利亞、加拿大和瑞典的九個案例研究。這些案例研究針對不同農村空間的獨特性，而該框架則融入了人文地理學的多個理論面向，包括空間、歷史、制度、人口、社會經濟和網絡視角。在應用這一比較案例研究框架的過程中，本書識別出許多對農村環境規劃和政策的啟示。

來自國際專家的貢獻有助於識別影響農村地區的機會和挑戰，從城市邊緣地帶到異國情調的偏遠空間，並涵蓋了「中間的無聊部分」。所使用的分析和框架將對農村性、旅遊、區域發展、農村政策、地理學和目的地管理的學者和學生具有價值。讀者將對發達國家的農村背景有更深入的理解，並對農村旅遊地理有一個穩健的概念化。

作者簡介

Dr. Koster is a rural tourism geographer, with a research focus on the contribution of tourism towards rural sustainability in resource-based regions. She has expertise in the areas of determinants of success in rural tourism planning; building capacity for tourism development with First Nations communities; experiential tourism development and the role of Appreciative Inquiry; gateway communities and protected areas; rural tourism in the Canadian urban fringe; and frameworks for evaluating tourism as a community economic development endeavor. She has received two awards for her research - an Aboriginal Partnership Research Award and recognition as one of the top 50 researchers at Lakehead University. She has been a part of several Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council-funded research projects, all focused on rural development and tourism.
Dr. Carson is an assistant professor at the Department of Geography at Umeå University in northern Sweden. She is a cultural geographer interested in the socio-economic development of small communities in sparsely populated areas. Her research focuses on changing population mobilities and their contributions to new development paths and innovation in remote resource peripheries, particularly those found in Australia and Sweden. She has previously conducted research into destination evolution and how peripheral tourism sectors can act as 'systems of innovation'. She is currently part of several research projects funded by the Swedish Research Council Formas, which focus on the impacts of urbanization on mobilities and socio-economic change in the sparsely populated north of Sweden and Australia. She is also a co-investigator on a major project looking at sustainable Arctic tourism futures.

科斯特博士是一位專注於農村旅遊的地理學家，研究重點在於旅遊對資源型地區農村可持續發展的貢獻。她在農村旅遊規劃成功因素、與原住民族社區合作促進旅遊發展的能力建設、體驗式旅遊發展及欣賞探詢的角色、門戶社區與保護區、加拿大城市邊緣的農村旅遊，以及評估旅遊作為社區經濟發展努力的框架等領域擁有專業知識。她因其研究獲得了兩項獎項——原住民夥伴關係研究獎和雷克海德大學前50名研究人員的認可。她參與了多個由社會科學與人文研究委員會資助的研究項目，這些項目均專注於農村發展和旅遊。

卡森博士是瑞典北部烏梅奧大學地理系的助理教授。她是一位文化地理學家，對稀疏人口地區小型社區的社會經濟發展感興趣。她的研究重點在於人口流動的變化及其對偏遠資源邊緣地區新發展路徑和創新的貢獻，特別是澳大利亞和瑞典的相關情況。她曾進行過目的地演變的研究，以及邊緣旅遊部門如何作為「創新系統」運作。她目前參與了幾個由瑞典研究委員會Formas資助的研究項目，這些項目專注於城市化對瑞典和澳大利亞稀疏人口北部地區的流動性和社會經濟變化的影響。她也是一個主要項目的共同研究者，該項目探討可持續的北極旅遊未來。
