A conceptual framework for indigenous ecotourism projects – a case study in Wayanad, Kerala, India
(2020)
This paper analyses indigenous ecotourism in the Indian district of Wayanad, Kerala, using a conceptual framework based on a PATA 2015 study on indigenous tourism that includes the criteria: human rights, participation, business and ecology. Detailed indicator sets for each criterion are applied to a case study of the Priyadarshini Tea Environs with a qualitative research approach addressing stakeholders from the public sector, non-governmental organisations, academia, tour operators and communities including Adivasi and non-Adivasi. In-depth interviews were supported by participant and non-participant observations. The authors adapted this framework to the needs of the case study and consider that this modified version is a useful tool for academics and practitioners wishing to evaluate and develop indigenous ecotourism projects. The results show that the Adivasi involved in the Priyadarshini Tea Environs project benefit from indigenous ecotourism. But they could profit more if they had more involvement in and control of the whole tourism value chain.
Uzbekistan is an emerging tourism destination that has experienced a strong increase in tourists since 2017. However, little research on tourism development in Uzbekistan exists to date. This study therefore analyzes possible research topics and proposes a tourism research agenda for Uzbekistan. A mix of methods was used consisting of participant observation, semi-structured qualitative expert interviews and qualitative content anal- ysis. The results revealed a variety of research deficits in different areas, which could be synthesized into a total of ten research fields, which were clustered into three overarching areas, namely market research, management, and culture & environment. The subordi- nate research fields identified are Demand, Statistics, Potentials, Governance, Products, Infrastructure & Development, Marketing, Heritage & Nation-building, Sustainability as well as Peace & Conflict Prevention. A strategic research plan based on this tourism research agenda could help to foster a purposeful scientific debate. Tourism research in these fields has both the potential to investigate and compare theoretical issues in an unique context and to produce applied research results that can make a relevant contri- bution to tourism development in Uzbekistan.
While existing resource extraction debates have contributed to a better understanding of national economic and political dilemmas and institutional responses, there are flaws in understanding the specific relevance of the various types of mining schemes for rural households to deal with the various problems they are confronted with. Our paper examines the perceptions of gold mining effects on households in Northern Burkina Faso. The findings of our survey across six districts representing different mining schemes (industrial, artisanal, no mining) highlight the fact that artisanal gold mining can generate job opportunities and cash income for local households; whereas industrial gold mining widely fails to do so. However, the general economic and environmental settings exert a much stronger influence on the household state. Gold mining effects are perceived as being less advantageous in districts where people are suffering from a lack of education, a higher vulnerability to drought and poor market access. Our findings provide empirical support for those who back the enhanced formalization of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) and policies that entail more rigorous state monitoring of mining concessions, especially in economic and environmentally disadvantaged contexts. Effectively addressing communal and pro-poor development requires greater attention to the political economy of ASM and corporate mining. It also calls for a greater inclusion of local mining stakeholders and a more effective alignment of international regulatory and advocacy efforts.
Das erfolgreiche Gestalten von Organisationen setzt die systematische Analyse ihrer Prozesse voraus. Das gilt auch und insbesondere für kleine und mittelgroße Unternehmen (KMU). Die praktische Durchführung solcher in KMU ist jedoch mit besonderen Herausforderungen verbunden, die in der vorhandenen Literatur bislang kaum reflektiert werden. In diesem Beitrag werden Erfahrungen aus 20 in KMU durchgeführten Prozessanalysen geteilt. Entlang der Prozessphasen werden unterschiedliche Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten vorgestellt und ihre spezifischen Vor- und Nachteile bei der praktischen Anwendung in KMU identifiziert. Der Beitrag unterstreicht die Relevanz von Prozessanalysen in KMU und befähigt zugleich zu ihrer Durchführung.
For a long time, the use of intermediate products in production has been growing more rapidly in most countries than domestic production. This is a strong indication of more interdependency in production. The main purpose of input-output analysis is to study the interdependency of industries in an economy. Often the term interindustry analysis is also used. Therefore, the exchange of intermediate products is a key issue of input-output analysis. We will use input–output data for this study that the author prepared for the new ‘Handbook on Supply, Use and Input–Output Tables with Extensions and Applications’ of the United Nations. The supply use and input–output tables contain separate valuation matrices for trade margins, transport margins, value added tax, other taxes on products and subsidies on products. For the study, two input–output models were developed to evaluate the impact of fuel subsidy and taxation reform on output, gross domestic product, inflation and trade. Six scenarios are discussed covering different aspects of the reform.
Service in der Investitionsgüterindustrie wird heutzutage in der Regel immer noch manuell und vor Ort beim Kunden ausgeführt. Dazu braucht es qualifizierte Service-Techniker:innen, die über das nötige Produkt- Prozesswissen verfügen. Für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen (KMU) der Investitionsgüterindustrie stellt insbesondere die Internationalisierung eine Herausforderung dar, da qualifizierte Service-Techniker:innen eine rare Ressource sind. Es gilt sie möglichst effektiv und effizient einzusetzen. Zu diesem Zweck wurde im Rahmen des SerWiss-Projektes eine Lösung entwickelt, die es KMU ermöglicht, service-rele-
vantes Wissen effizient zu generieren, zu strukturieren und am Point-of-Service bereitzustellen sowie im Rahmen geeigneter Geschäftsmodelle zu vermarkten. Im Beitrawird erläutert, wie sich dieses erfasste Wissen als kundenorientiertes Wertangebot einsetzen und erlöswirksam in entsprechenden Geschäftsmodellen umsetzen lässt.
Die vorliegende Studie analysiert die Barrierefreiheit der
Stadt Konstanz im Hinblick auf Angebote für und Nachfrage von Touristinnen und Touristen. Die Datenerhebung basierte auf einem Methodenmix aus Interviews und Umfragen von Probanden und Probandinnen mit Behinderungen und zuständigen Akteurinnen und Akteuren in der Stadtplanung sowie Begehungen vor Ort. Als theoretische Grundlage wird das Modell der Unabhängigkeit nach
Nosek and Fuhrer (1992) verwendet. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass der Bedarf an barrierefreien Angeboten sehr divers ist und die Umsetzung im Sinne eines Universal Design durch die zunehmende Nachfrage zentral. Die Analyse des Tourismusraum Konstanz zeigt Schwachpunkte und Stärken, mit denen sich Implikationen für andere Tourismusregionen ableiten lassen.
The aim of this paper is to find out in how accommodation providers in the Seychelles perceive climate change and what mitigation and adaptation measures they can provide. In order to answer these questions, a qualitative mixed-method-approach, comprised of twenty semi-structured interviews, an online-survey and participant observation was used. Results show that accommodation providers especially perceive the effects of climate change that directly affect their business and that they have already partly implemented some mitigation and adaptation measures. However, strategies and regulations are needed at the Seychelles’ government level and on a global level to actually achieve CO2 neutral travel.
The aim of this paper is to portray the risks of climate change for low mountain range tourism and to develop sustainable business models as adaption strategy. A mixed-method-approach is applied combining secondary analysis, a quantitative survey, and qualitative in-depth-interviews in a transdisciplinary setting. Results show, that until now, climate change impacts on the snow situation in the Black Forest – at least above 1,000 m – have been mild and compensated by artificial snowmaking, and up to now have not had measurable effects on tourism demand. In general, the Black Forest appears to be an attractive destination for more reasons than just snow. The climate issue seems to be regarded as a rather incidental occurrence with little importance to current business decisions. However, the authors present adaption strategies as alternatives for snow tourism, e. g. the implementation of hiking hostels, since climate change will make winter tourism in the Black Forest impossible in the long run.
Infrastructure-making in interwar India was a dynamic, multilayered process involving roads and vehicles in urban and rural sites. One of their strongest playgrounds was Bombay Presidency and the Central Provinces in central and western India. Focusing on this region in the interwar period, this paper analyzes the varied relationship between peasant households and town-centred modernizing agents in the making of road transport infrastructures. The central argument of this paper is about the persistence of bullock carts over motor cars in the region. This persistence was grounded in the specific regional environment, the effects of the 1930s economic depression, and the priorities of social classes. Pinpointing these connections, the paper highlights that “modernization” of infrastructure was not a simple, linear process of progressivist change, nor did it mean the survival of apparently “old” technologies in the modern era. Instead, the paper pays attention to conflicting social complexities, implications, and meanings of the connection between infrastructure and modernity that modernization assumptions often overlook. Here, the paper shows how technological change occurred as a result of real, material class interests pulling infrastructural technology in different directions. This was where and why arguments of road-motor lobbyists and cart advocates eventually clashed, and Gandhian social workers resisted motor transport in defense of peasant interests.
