“…The fear of exploring (or perhaps exploiting) religion and heritage for the sake of material and commercial gains is present in such instances. Macheka (2016) also points to the issues which arise when different groups claim ownership of a heritage site which may also have religious significance.…”

Purpose Given the growing importance of religious tourism, the purpose of this paper is to present a review of the literature around the area. Design/methodology/approach All papers with the term “religious tourism” have been searched via Emerald Insight from January 2006 to December 2017. The search was run in June 2017 for the last time and all early cite papers falling under the criteria were also included. This has ensured that key literature produced after the seminal work by Timothy and Olsen (Eds) (2006) has been reviewed. Certain exclusions apply which have been listed in the paper. Findings Key themes from the literature on religious tourism along with new developments and overlaps with other tourism sectors have been highlighted. Originality/value This paper reviews literature spanning more than a decade on religious tourism.

“…The discourse is holistic, its attention encompassing consideration of interdisciplinary approaches and multiple issues as diverse as equity, peace and security, human rights, urban planning, as well as permutations of sites with varying associations of cultural and natural heritage (see for example, Blake, ; Chechi, ; Huibin, Marzuki, & Razak, ; Laina, ; Larsen & Logan, ; Roders & van Oers, , ; Zhang, Zhou, Wu, Skitmore, & Deng, ). Inherent to the calls for sustainable development are concerns over implementation of the WH system's standards within developing countries, with elements of the discourse directed to promotion of conservation and sustainable development strategies that enable greater engagement with local communities (see for example, Chechi, ; Gullino et al, ; Halim & Ishak, ; Han et al, ; Larcher et al, ; La Rosa et al, ; Liu, ; Lixinski, ; Macheka, ; Owosuyim, ; Roders & van Oers, ). Consideration of local communities incurs identification of the stakeholders involved in management of a WH site, demarcating WH sites as venues bridging actors spanning global, national, and local levels (see for example, Allen & Lennon, ; Conradin & Hammer, ; Gullino et al, ; Iatu, Ibanescu, Stoleriu, & Munteanu, ; Nicholas & Thapa, ; Shende, ).…”

“…Complicating implementation efforts are that the accommodation of local communities in decision making makes each WH site a function of its unique local context, and thereby implies that the universal reach of the WH system depends upon a broad range of site‐specific management models requiring individual study. The result is a burgeoning scholarly literature working to delineate the various ways in which local contexts in developing countries challenge the implementation of WH Policy (see for example Chechi, ; Gullino, Beccaro, & Larcher, ; Halim & Ishak, ; Han, Yang, Liu, & Wall, ; La Rosa, Barbarossa, Privitera, & Martinico, ; Larcher, Novelli, Gullino, & Devecchi, ; Liu, ; Lixinski, ; Macheka, ; Owosuyim, ; Roders & van Oers, ). The present analysis builds upon such literature, using a case study of Sri Ksetra, a site within Pyu Ancient Cities that marks Myanmar's first WH site (UNESCO, ), to expand understanding of the ways in which the implementation of WH Policy struggles to achieve its intended goals in developing countries like Myanmar.…”

World heritage sustainable development policy & local implementation: Site management issues using a case study of Sri Ksetra at Pyu ancient cities in Myanmar

In November 2015, State Parties to the World Heritage Convention approved a resolution adopting a policy integrating sustainable development into World Heritage conservation (WH Policy). A central component of the WH Policy was an expectation for participatory models of management involving local communities in site management. This paper uses a case study of Sri Ksetra in Pyu Ancient Cities, Myanmar's first entry onto the World Heritage list, to identify how management practices toward local communities can frustrate the implementation of WH Policy goals. The paper argues that the implementation of WH Policy involves not only the contents of policy statements but also the actions of site management practices, such that efforts to promote sustainable development via community participation require consideration of both the articulation of appropriate management systems in formal policy documents as well as the practice of appropriate conduct by those systems.

“…The cultural village is a concept of area-based development that engages with the cultural and creative industries and tactical urbanism (Iveson, 2013; Macheka, 2016; Talen, 2015). The village uses cultural industries, such as handicraft, arts and cultural performances as the source of economic, social and environmental improvement of a village (Howkin, 2001).…”

PurposeThis study aims to explore the development of sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) in the cultural village. SOI has recently generated widespread interest, both academically and practically, by factoring in environmental and social impacts in addition to economic aspects. However, previous works have mostly been performed at profit organisations, with few discussed at the non-profit, and likewise, in the cultural village.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a qualitative approach by focusing on a unique case, Laweyan Batik Village in Surakarta, Indonesia. Founded in the 15th century, Laweyan Batik Village remains the oldest batik village in Indonesia. Batik is the traditional fabric of Indonesia, influenced by Arabian, Chinese and European patterns, that was recognised in 2009 by UNESCO as part of the World's Intangible Cultural Heritage. The actor-network theory (ANT) is used as an analytical framework to understand the process of SOI development through the role of actors in developing innovations.FindingsThe findings suggest that, it is not only in mainstream business sectors and formal settings, as already evidenced by existing literature, that SOI can be promoted, but also in community sectors and within informal settings. This paper has found that the development of sustainability innovation in these settings is challenged by the dynamics of the actors and the institutional settings. The overall development process of sustainability innovation has been undertaken through so-called “collaborative practices”, emphasising the involvement of government actors and non-government actors, highlighting community leaders, academics and NGOs as the “in-between” actors who provide knowledge sharing and maintain communications to ensure the promotion of the SOI concepts and programmes.Originality/valueThis research contributes in two main ways: first, an understanding of the process of sustainability innovation in a cultural village that has not been deeply explored by current literature; and second, the use of the actor network theory as an analytical framework from which to map the process of SOI collaborative development through networking dimensions.
