“…While studying tourism from a livelihood perspective has become more popular in recent years [41][42][43][44][45][46], institutional processes as an essential component of livelihood analysis have not really received enough attention. Several studies have addressed policies and regulations at the national level and their impacts on tourism development in certain communities, but the institutional processes through which policies and regulations are delivered remain unclear [6,47,48]. Several scholars have discussed the influences of institutional processes and organisational structures at the community level.…”

Abstract:Taking a livelihood perspective to study tourism has become popular in recent years, but as an essential part of livelihood analysis, institutional processes have not yet received enough attention. This study focuses on the influences of formal and informal institutions on small tourism businesses in rural areas. A case study was conducted in Hong Kong, and the entitlements framework was adopted as an analytical tool. Based on qualitative data generated from field study, this paper describes how different groups of residents rely on institutions at multiple levels to gain assets and make legitimate effective use of them through operating small tourism businesses. Results indicate that the interaction between formal and informal institutions is mediated by a variety of organisations, particularly implementation authorities at the frontline, and determines residents' access to assets and the tourism market and subsequently, affects their start-up and operation of small tourism businesses. Informal institutions play a vital role in creating a favourable situation for local residents. However, this role may not satisfy small business owners who are non-local residents.

“…In terms of PAs' ecological compensation, countries such as the US and Sri Lanka have examined the willingness to pay for ecological restoration and environment protection through surveys to increase the use of related projects, make up for the inadequacy of government investment, and improve the level of public participation and governmental decision-making [19][20][21]. However, given the unsound network layout of PAs in China and the insufficient research to date on rational distribution, effective management, the representativeness of protection and other aspects [22,23], this paper reveals the major problems encountered by the current system of natural PAs in China from a geographic perspective by basing the analysis on the evolving pattern of PAs with the aim of developing a strategy for the integration of PAs into a network.…”

Abstract:With the continued growth of protected areas (PAs) in China in terms of the number, coverage and varieties of protected objects, how to efficiently manage the protected areas to ensure both resource protection and environmental protection has become a crucial research question. By applying a geographic perspective in an analysis of the development and evolution of protected areas in China, this paper presents the results of an analysis focused on the status and the types of current approaches to the management of natural protected areas to reveal the problems that exist in their management and to further explore an integration strategy for the protected area network. It proposes that the future management of protected areas should prioritize their legal status, the sustainable livelihood of individuals living in close proximity to them, and the establishment of a unified database to achieve grid and information management of the protected areas.

“…De même, la protection de la vallée de Yosemite au milieu du xix e siècle (puis d'autres cas similaires dans le monde) fut principalement fondée sur la valeur pittoresque du site (Mitchell, 2013). Protéger la qualité esthétique d'un site est souvent un des objectifs d'une aire protégée ; en Chine, par exemple, c'est l'objectif premier de nombreux parcs nationaux (Wang et al, 2012).…”
