Landscape Preference of Rural Cultural Tourism Tourists Based on GIS Spatial Statistical Technology and Emotion Analysis

How to combine GIS spatial statistics technology to realize the intelligent and efficient classification of tourists’ landscape preferences is a hot spot in the direction of rural cultural tourism. Based on this, this paper studies the emotion analysis strategy based on GIS spatial statistical method in the field of landscape preference of rural cultural tourism tourists. Firstly, an intelligent and efficient classification model based on remote sensing discrete expansion algorithm is proposed. Combined with the observation strategy of common emotional rules in the landscape preference analysis of rural cultural tourism tourists, the landscape preference of rural cultural tourism tourists is processed with high quantitative emotional information, so as to realize the intelligent separation of preference, and then the error of discrete remote sensing data expansion model is corrected. Secondly, the judgment function of emotional rules is constructed, and the commonly used data layer-driven decentralized method is used in preference classification to eliminate the secondary factors in the landscape preference analysis of rural cultural tourism tourists. At the same time, the remote sensing discrete expansion algorithm is used to optimize and improve the emotional rules of high-volume emotional information based on GIS spatial statistical method. Finally, through the design of confirmatory experiments, the results show that the landscape preference analysis model based on GIS spatial statistics method and remote sensing discrete expansion algorithm is more efficient than the conventional preference classification method.

Cooperation for the implementation of digital applications in rural cultural tourism marketing

PurposeThis study aims to identify pitfalls in the use of cooperation for the implementation of digital applications in rural cultural tourism marketing and derive practical implications for avoiding them.Design/methodology/approachA total of 14 semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with the participants of the cooperation project around the Web app “The Legend of the Call of the Mountain” in the Zugspitz Region in Germany.FindingsThe study has identified four key pitfalls: challenges in the long-term financing, destination-specific characteristics of rural areas, doubts about the use of evaluations and the limited horizon of many cultural institutions.Research limitations/implicationsBecause of the qualitative approach and the single case study, the results may lack generalisability. Therefore, future research should place the results to a larger scale, for example, with a mixed methods approach.Practical implicationsPractical implications can be derived from the study for avoiding pitfalls and thus for a successful use of such cooperation projects. The implications draw attention to the different possibilities of long-term financing, the important role of a central tourism organisation, the special possibilities of evaluations and the important role of general awareness raising for the added values of such cooperation.Originality/valueBy examining an exemplary cooperation project, the paper fills an existing research gap, as there has been little knowledge in empirical cultural tourism research about the special conditions for using cooperation to implement digital applications in rural cultural tourism marketing.

Cultural Tourism as a Possible Driver of Rural Development in Czechia. Wine Tourism in Moravia as a Case Study

Abstract The paper connects culture, tourism and rural development. It tries to make an overview of various forms of cultural tourism in Czechia. Attractions of cultural tourism are identified and ranked according to their cognitive function. Their list includes cultural heritage in spheres of archaeological sites, architecture, arts, folklore, pilgrimages, technical works, cultural events or protected landscape areas. The culture of wine in Southern Moravia has been chosen as an example. Its analysis was elaborated using the Importance/Performance Analysis. Czechia has great potential for the cultural tourism development in rural areas but it seems to demand a great deal of work when one needs to be constantly reconciling the changing interests of tourists with the potential of the regions. One of the important goals is to attract tourists into rural areas and thus limit their concentration in the most attractive places. Rural cultural tourism seems to be a significant aspect in this respect. The part of the study is the example of the adaptation of the current situation with COVID-19 to properly support the development and cultural potential of domestic tourism in South Moravian region in relation to the economic impacts on international tourism.

Community, governments and external capitals in China's rural cultural tourism: A comparative study of two adjacent villages

Using qualitative methods, this paper compares the experiences of tourism development in two of China's most famous rural cultural tourism destinations (Xidi and Hongcun). Although high-leveled similarities in tourism settings are shared between these two adjacent destinations, dramatic differences have also been found in their outcomes of tourism developments. Based on two case studies, a new communal approach for tourism development, which is prevailing in rural China, is summarized and its influences on community participation in tourism are then discussed. By examining the contesting process for the exclusive right for tourism development and operation deriving from the communal approach, the paper analyses the power relations among the stakeholders of the tourism developments in the two cases, and argues that a definite legal description of such kind of developmental right is a premise to desirable interrelations among tourism stakeholders, and will be conducive to a more participatory community in China's current rural cultural tourism developments.

Villagers' Perceptions of Traditions: Some Observations on the Development of Rural Cultural Tourism in China

Tourism has a penetration effect, especially in developing economies and/or rural communities where options for development are limited. This research adopts the observation and survey approach to look at villagers' perceptions of traditions in the context of rural cultural tourism. Development and impacts of rural cultural tourism are examined in a case study of folk song traditions conducted in Lujiahe Village, located in the northwest of Central China's Hubei Province. This rural community is known as ‘the first folk song village of the Han Chinese’. The history, unique tradition and current practice of its villagers singing folk songs on various ceremonies and occasions have recently been exploited as cultural performances and attractions for visitors. Survey results indicate that, at the initial stage of development, villagers generally hold a welcoming attitude towards tourism-induced impacts and a high willingness to accept possible socio-cultural changes in their community. It is argued that rural cultural tourism should be planned with caution for sustainable development. The study concludes with a component framework that encompasses the dimensions and issues that should be considered and incorporated in community-involved planning and development of rural cultural tourism.

Prospects for sustainable rural cultural tourism in Maramure y , Romania

Maramure y is one of the mountain regions of Romania where pilot projects for sustainable rural cultural tourism have been started. The paper examines the potentials for this business and evaluates progress in the context of experience elsewhere with respect to barriers that may limit growth and long-term success. The resources are very considerable both in Romania generally and Maramure y in particular; relating not merely to traditional lifestyles but also to their present forms within pluriactive communities. When sustainability indicators are considered it is evident that the business is firmly under local control through rural tourist associations. But the area suffers from remoteness and there is a need for greater cohesion to connect local networks with those operating at the regional and national levels within Romania and also in neighbouring countries. Maramure y is also burdened by localized environmental problems - concerned with mining and recreation - which detract from an otherwise positive image.
