정의롭고 윤리적인 관광을 향한 타짐 자말(Tazim Jamal)의 연구 세계

Abstract

This article explores the research world of Tazim Jamal, a prominent scholar in contemporary tourism studies, as part of the special issue of the Journal of Tourism Science titled ‘Contemporary Leisure and Tourism Researchers and Research’. Drawing from an interview with Jamal and reviews of her research, this article delineates Jamal's research background, interests, and primary research focus. Additionally, it includes Jamal's insights directed towards South Korean tourism research and researchers. Jamal recognized the significance of socio-cultural and environmental impacts caused by tourism and dedicated her work to addressing these issues. Her early research concentrated on collaborative planning and community participation, later broadening to encompass sustainable tourism, just and ethical tourism, and the concept of 'good tourism'. Jamal proposed five principles for justice and ethics in tourism: equity and justice; diversity and recognition; responsibility and care; sustainability and conservation; and democracy and governance. She underscored the need for future tourism studies to continue interdisciplinary research, employ diverse research paradigms and methodologies, share extensive knowledge, and engage in discourse with scholars from the Global South and non-Western countries. Furthermore, in a written message to Korean academics, Jamal expressed hope that addressing critical issues like climate change, community well-being, cultural and heritage conservation, and enhancing cultural exchange and visitor learning can be achieved through thoughtful, fair, and responsible tourism. It is hoped that this article well describes Jamal's research world and philosophy on justice and ethics in tourism.
