heritage tourism and Livelihood sustainability of a resettled rural community mount sanqingshan world heritage site china
Journal of Sustainable Tourism, 2016Co-Authors: Ming Ming Su, Geoffrey Wall, Kejian XuAbstract:Tourism and related development can lead to the displacement and resettlement of communities, disrupting local Livelihood systems, socio-political processes and organizations. However, limited attention has been paid to community resettlement in the tourism context. Taking Yinhuwan village at Mount Sanqingshan World Heritage Site in China as an example, this study examines the results of tourism and resettlement on the Livelihoods of this rural community and the extent to which tourism-related Livelihood strategies contribute to community Livelihood sustainability. A sustainable Livelihood framework is adopted to guide the analysis. Face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted with management officials, community leaders and village residents through three field investigations in 2013. It was found that traditional Livelihood methods have been largely replaced by tourism, which has become the primary Livelihood strategy for the resettled community. Despite current economic benefits, high dependency on ...

tourism induced Livelihood changes at mount sanqingshan world heritage site china
Environmental Management, 2016Co-Authors: Ming Ming Su, Geoffrey Wall, Kejian XuAbstract:Although tourism has the potential to improve the wellbeing of residents, it may also disrupt Livelihood systems, social processes, and cultural traditions. The Livelihood changes at three rural villages at Mount Sanqingshan World Heritage Site, China, are assessed to determine the extent to which tourism strategies are contributing to local Livelihoods. A sustainable Livelihood framework is adopted to guide the analysis. The three villages exhibit different development patterns due to institutional, organizational, and location factors. New strategies involving tourism were constructed and incorporated into the traditional Livelihood systems and they resulted in different outcomes for residents of different villages. Village location, including the relationship to the site tourism plan, affected the implications for rural Livelihoods. High dependence on tourism as the single Livelihood option can reduce sustainability. Practical implications are suggested to enhance Livelihood sustainability at such rural heritage tourism sites.

Changing Livelihoods in Rural Eastern Cape, South Africa (2002-2016): Diminishing Employment and Expanding Social Protection
2020Co-Authors: Hajdu Flora, Neves David, Granlund StefanAbstract:Despite long-standing patterns of agrarian change in South and Southern Africa, rural locales remain home to millions of people, characterised by widespread poverty and vulnerability. This is evident in South Africa's former 'homelands', the site where this study examined changes in rural Livelihoods over a 14-year period. Detailed survey data (collected in 2002 and 2016) from two villages in the Pondoland region of Eastern Cape province, and augmented by in-depth fieldwork, are analysed to explore the drivers of contemporary Livelihood change. Key Livelihood activities are examined, namely paid employment, social grant receipt, horticulture and livestock production, marine-resource and firewood harvesting. So too are changes within, and between, these diverse Livelihood activities over time. Both monetised (income-earning) activities, and 'unremunerated' or unmonetised activities (for example, subsistence agriculture or marine-resource harvesting) are measured, aggregated and compared, in order to consider the drivers, consequences and prospective future trajectories of Livelihood change. Key findings for impoverished households in the villages are that waged work has decreased significantly, while expanding social welfare provision has prevented plunges into deeper poverty. Agriculture and marine-resource harvesting remain dynamic, albeit unevenly engaged in by villagers. Amid these larger patterns, local-level variations are evident, with discrepant employment and agricultural production patterns across villages. The role of the state is ambiguous, being both a restrictor and enabler of local Livelihoods. As jobs and other Livelihood opportunities diminish, the villagers express frustration with the state, but remain simultaneously heavily reliant on state fiscal transfers, through grants and public employment schemes. The findings speak not only to the dynamics of rural Livelihoods in South Africa's former homelands; they also point to changes in rural dwellers' Livelihoods, within contexts of agrarian change, rural dispossession, inequality and receding prospects for employment, increasingly evident across the global south
