Tourism, Recreation and Regional Development
What factors contribute to tourism and recreation development? How can we characterise stakeholder rationales and organisation modes to enhance tourism resources and foster tourism and recreation services? To what extent do tourism and recreation contribute to regional development? What changes are taking place in terms of new destinations, stakeholders, policy objectives? Bringing together scholars from the fields of planning, economics, sociology, management studies and geography, this book examines cross-cutting issues in tourism and recreation with the aim of developing an extended view of leisure time. Focusing mainly on France with comparison to the experience of Northern and Southern ...
European Forest Recreation and Tourism
*Please note the 2015 paperback is a reprint of the original 2008 hardback* In an increasingly urbanized world more and more people are turning to our forests and woodland for recreation and tourism. Planning and providing for this growing demand poses challenges that need to be addressed by managers and designers alike. Based on a study of forest recreation from across Europe, the editors bring together the expertise of more than eighty leading professionals and academics to provide a clear and concise guide to best practice. Case studies and careful research give a detailed insight into the issues that forest recreation raises, from strategic planning to integration into the existing rural economy. Essential reading for tourism planners, landscape designers and countryside managers delivering forest recreation and tourism.
Energy Transitions
This book elucidates what it means to transition to alternative sources of energy and discusses the potential for this energy transition to be a more democratic process. The book dynamically describes a recent sociotechnical study of a number of energy transitions occurring in several countries - France, Germany and Tunisia, and involving different energy technologies - including solar, on/off-shore wind, smart grids, biomass, low-energy buildings, and carbon capture and storage. Drawing on a pragmatist tradition of social inquiry, the authors examine the consequences of energy transition processes for the actors and entities that are affected by them, as well as the spaces for political participation they offer. This critical inquiry is organised according to foundational categories that have defined the energy transition - ‘renewable’ energy resources, markets, economic instruments, technological demonstration, spatiality (‘scale’) and temporality (‘horizon(s)’). Using a set of select case studies, this book systematically investigates the role these categories play in the current developments in energy transitions.
Tourism Encounters and Controversies
The multiplicity of tourism encounters provide some of the best available occasions to observe the social world and its making(s). Focusing on ontological politics of tourism development, this book examines how different versions of tourism are enacted, how encounters between different versions of tourism orderings may result in controversies, but also on how these enactments and encounters are entangled in multiple ways to broader areas of development, conservation, policy and destination management. Throughout the book, encounters and controversies are investigated from a poststructuralist and relational approach as complex and emerging, seeing the roles and characteristics of related actors as co-constituted. Inspired by post-actor-network theory and related research, the studies include the social as well as the material, but also multiplicity and ontological politics when examining controversial matters or events.

Paysage et développement durable
L’ouvrage aborde les interactions entre paysages et mesures pour le développement durable dans quelques régions de France. Le paysage est étudié dans sa globalité au croisement de nombreuses disciplines : sciences sociales (géographie, économie, sociologie, aménagement et urbanisme), sciences du vivant (biologie, écologie), et sciences politiques (participation, modes de gouvernance).
Innovation et patrimoine alimentaire en espace rural
Dotée de nouveaux rôles – ludique, récréatif, résidentiel, mais aussi environnemental ou paysager –, la ruralité française poursuit sa transformation. Son développement répond à l’affirmation de nouvelles préoccupations sociales auxquelles s’ajoutent une diversité d’acteurs et une pluralité de biens et de services. L’ouvrage s’appuie sur l’analyse approfondie de trois territoires ruraux à fortes potentialités patrimoniales et agroalimentaires situés dans le sud-ouest de la France. L’auteur y traite de la valorisation des patrimoines alimentaires et considère les productions alimentaires locales comme des ressources pour l’avenir des territoires.
Terres agricoles périurbaines
Cet ouvrage apporte des éléments d’analyse sur les transformations en cours en matière d’action publique foncière pour la préservation des terres agricoles et périurbaines. Quels sont les dispositifs et les expériences en matière d’action publique foncière qui émergent à l’échelle des territoires ? Voit-on s’imposer des modes de gouvernance novateurs ? Issu d’une recherche pluridisciplinaire sur les dispositifs de gouvernance foncière des terres agricoles périurbaines, il illustre l’évolution des enjeux fonciers : un dépassement des approches sectorielles, une diversité des modes d’action, un élargissement des formes de régulation et de coordination entre acteurs.
