“…Researchers have also documented that Aboriginal tourism, when properly conducted, can provide communities with economic benefits and empowerment (Scheyvens, 1999(Scheyvens, , 2002, through the creation of operators and board members involved with the tourism experience (Kapashesit et al, 2011), access to and proprietorship of traditional lands (Colton & Whitney-Squire, 2010), protection for traditional territories, and a chance to incorporate local knowledge systems in conservation efforts (Gerberich, 2005;Butler & Menzies, 2007).…”

“…It is believed that hosts, though often located in peripheral areas and sometimes with limited exposure to tourism, have valuable indigenous knowledge. In particular they may be able to suggest solutions, evaluate proposed projects and activities, coordinate and lead projects, and develop partnerships with different stakeholders (Butler & Menzies, 2007;Hall & Jenkins, 1998). There is emerging support empirically that hosts have their own understanding of tourism and sometimes clear perceptions and preferences for tourism development in their communities (Amuquandoh, 2010;Wu & Pearce, 2013).…”

This article is one of the first tourism studies to adopt the asset-based community development (ABCD) approach. It explores the potential of the ABCD approach to tourism development as a poverty alleviation strategy. The study was undertaken in Lhasa, Tibet. Photo-elicitation interviews, focus group interviews, and a questionnaire-based survey were used. It was found that the Tibetan young hosts had a good knowledge of local assets. They identified five categories of local assets as having the most potential to be developed as tourism attractions in the near future. The identified tourism assets were world heritage sites, religious sites, traditional Tibetan yards, daily life and customs, and Tibetan medicines -the last four assets were undeveloped ones. Clear perceptions on the value of the assets, as well as the difficulty and desirability of their development in the future were also mapped, using repeated measures one-way analysis of variance. Through the process of assessing the tourism assets, this study identified in a preliminary way that adopting the ABCD approach to poverty alleviation through tourism is feasible. By mapping other assets in the community (e.g. human, social, financial, and physical), a further and more complete test of the approach can be undertaken. Examining these assets may also reveal more ideas for the community's common future. Theoretically, this work adds to the conceptual approaches for community-based tourism development work. Methodologically, this study illustrates research techniques for obtaining emic voices in a marginal and politically charged environment. The extensive use of the participants' images as a basis for discussion was of particular note. Practically, this research offers both general and detailed suggestions for the Lhasa Government and its community work, especially ways to approach and access community perspectives.

“…Ignoring indigenous knowledge and local resource management risks to maintain the pattern of dispossession and exclusion. That is why by using indigenous knowledge as a basis for tourism planning, it can be a decolonising rather than recolonising expression to support a revitalisation of traditional cultural and a driver for economic development (Butler & Menzies, 2007).Indigenous people are densely related to land & nature and live according the laws of nature. Consequently, the involvement of indigenous groups in the tourism industry, which has the threat of being highly polluting for nature, is not to be considered as evident.…”

“…It is a growing body of knowledge developed over many generations and is growing as new experiences are added to the account. The incorporation of indigenous knowledge into tourism planning and development is crucial in order to obtain a culturally sustainable environment for the indigenous people (Butler & Menzies, 2007). Ignoring indigenous knowledge and local resource management risks to maintain the pattern of dispossession and exclusion.…”

editorial José Díaz Diego EditorEn el primer número del volumen 27 de la revista CUHSO · Cultura-HombreSociedad, editada por la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad Católica de Temuco, el lector podrá encontrar cinco artículos de investigación, tres avances de investigación y una reseña bibliográfica.De los cinco artículos de investigación, cuatro conciernen a La Araucanía y uno a Rapa Nui. En el primer trabajo, Samuel San Juan reflexiona sobre los contenidos, límites y alcances del concepto nación aplicado al pueblo mapuche, así como sobre algunos de los desaf íos que suponen sus reivindicaciones sociales y territoriales en el contexto de las complejas relaciones históricas y políticas derivadas de la ocupación chilena del Wallmapu.Por su parte, Hernán J. Riquelme aborda, a través del análisis de las pautas y circuitos de desplazamiento diario de estudiantes universitarios de La Araucanía entre sus hogares y sus centros de estudio en Temuco, la necesidad de ajustes inadvertidos en la reciente política educativa del gobierno chileno de permitir el acceso gratuito a los estudios superiores a los alumnos pertenecientes a las familias situadas en el 50% de menores ingresos del país que, en la Novena región, coinciden en proceder muchos de ellos de comunas periféricas con deficientes servicios de transporte público y escasas posibilidades de transporte privado.En tercer lugar, Dorian Romenns incursiona en las dinámicas socioculturales vinculadas al aumento de la iniciativa turística por parte de comunidades mapuches en y en torno a la localidad lacustre de Lican Ray, a orillas del lago Calafquén, que si bien no se abstraen en su totalidad de las lógicas mercantiles de consumo de productos turísticos diferenciados, del contexto neoliberal chileno y de las fuerzas homogeneizadoras de la globalización, logran plantear alternativas al desarrollo indígena, a la resistencia cultural y al reconocimiento sociopolítico.Alejándose del continente, Javier Corvalán y Kon Turi Atan aportan valiosa información sobre el estatus de la lengua española en Rapa Nui a través de las preguntas del Censo de 1916, llevado a cabo a escasos dos años desde la institucionalización de su enseñanza por parte del Estado chileno con la fundación DÍAZ DIEGO EDITORIAL 2 de la primera escuela en Isla de Pascua en 1914. Corvalán y Atan concluyen que el castellano, si bien de manejo incipientemente aun, lo era mejor por parte de hombres que de mujeres rapanui debido a la incorporación temprana de los hombres al trabajo asalariado y al ejército chileno a través del servicio militar.Cerrando la sección de artículos de investigación, Fernanda Carrasco, Rocío Droguett, Denisse Huaiquil, Alejandra Navarrete, María José Quiroz y Helder Binimelis analizan las expectativas y conflictos que surgen del uso de tecnologías móviles entre los usuarios cuando son niños, y sus familias, prestando especial atención, en el caso de estudio de una escuela municipal de Temuco, al surgimiento de nuevas normas sociales para la regulación de la convivencia condicion...
