“…First, the investigation in this research project aims to be more reflexive with socially just interpretation of the depictions of nations (Jepson, 2015), local people (Wright & Eaton, 2018), and Australian tourists in the mainstream media, online discussions, and on-site experiences. The aim is to understand more deeply the depiction of rural places, people, and identities in tourism in terms of "othering," by mapping some key texts, which frequently appear in the media, and understanding the meaning of social reproduction (Li, Zhang, Zhang, & Abrahams, 2019). Local people, as part of rural life depictions, maintain a conducive atmosphere for tourism because the production process of tourism also helps to restructure the social economy of local people.…”

This study contributes to understand the representations of Indonesian rural destinations in tourism media (online and offline) and the social reproduction of the on-site experiences from Australian tourists. The study analyses qualitative data from media produced between 2016 and 2018, online reviews about rural destinations, and full-day participant observations involving Australians. The findings highlight the contested representation of tranquil rice fields and the Indonesians as the exotic locals to be gaze upon for Australians. In conclusion, the framing of Indonesia for Australians expresses the unjust reproductions of tourism media to exercise the existing power relations.

“…The result was migrants from rural areas leaving their rural homes unoccupied, creating "Vacant Villages" (Kongxin Cun). To make things worse, decentralization and tax reform in 1994 rendered urban land leasing a major income source [41][42][43].…”

Developmental Sustainability through Heritage Preservation: Two Chinese Case Studies

et al. 2020

Cultural heritage is a vital part of a society’s existence. This role has particular relevance for China, with arguably one of the largest stocks of cultural assets, tangible and intangible, in the world. Recognizing the tension between cultural preservation and economic development as a general context, this paper examines the specific additional challenges China faces in its rush towards economic development. In providing both generic and China-specific contexts, this paper has as its objective to understand how Chinese policy-makers, both central and local, attempt to resolve the contest between cultural preservation and economic development, specifically rural rejuvenation. Through two case studies—of Lijiang in Yunnan province and Rizhao in Shandong province—this paper shows contrasting strategies to leverage local intangible cultural assets. Comparing these strategies reveals both the advantages and challenges inherent in each. A successful strategy captures the benefits of cultural tourism while minimizing its costs.

“…In their case study of the Swedish skiing resort of Sälen, Möller et al (2014) argue that regions that would often be characterized as "rural" in terms of population density, development and environmental characteristics often feel more urban than rural, largely as a result of the changes that tourism bring to these places. Li et al (2019) also explore the role of tourism in the social construction of distinctions between rural and urban spaces, but in China. Therefore, to capture the complex and nuanced reality, conceptualizing the rural-urban as a continuum rather than a dichotomy may be more useful (Ocaña-Riola & Sánchez-Cantalejo, 2005).…”

Content analysis was conducted based on the publications that have the term rural or a synonym in their title, keywords and abstract. Furthermore, the review considers the measurable impact of the publications on rural tourism and offers suggestions for fruitful future research directions. A brief theoretical framework is provided to analyse what rural and rurality refer to in the publications.
