To attract visitors to stay and enjoy the rural landscapes and reduce out-migration to cities, there is a need to enhance practices and policies to boost rural community well-being. Community well-being is about residents' feeling of satisfaction with their local place with considering the social and physical environment, the services, and facilities regarding place attachment (Forjaz et al., 2011; McCrea et al., 2015). In this study, the extent to which farm shops as agriculture diversification strategies impact the community well-being in rural areas is investigated. Kalmar Län, the southern county in Sweden, is the chosen case study to learn more about the subject. For this research, eight interviews were conducted with farmers, and data were analyzed with thematic analysis.  Findings of this study indicate that farm shop owners' motivation to start and continue their activities is not limited to financial incentives, and there are other influential factors that encourage farmers to start and continue their farm shop businesses. Moreover, Farmers in Kalmar County are working as a network and feel connected with one other in varied ways. Furthermore, the direct impacts of farm shops on health and nature were expressed by farmers as well. According to the farmers, these shops impact society by providing spaces for social interaction, which is a critical performance of farm shops. And all these factors increase the feeling of attachment to the place for both farmers and visitors and motivate visitors to visit farm shops more often and encourage farmers to continue their activities in the rural area, and consequently enhance the well-being of community in the rural regions.

Thesis (MScAgric (Agricultural Economics))—University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / The study broadly assesses the usefulness of available digital spatial land resource data as a source for agritourism and ecotourism information by comparing the inventory of available spatial data sets for South Africa and the SADC region, with the needs for spatial data as derived from a literature study of travel motivations and demand determinants. Spatial land resource data have been collected, processed and stored for agricultural planning purposes, like land suitability assessment, agricultural production and infrastructural planning. Given a) the growth in agritourism and ecotourism, b) the more detailed information required by tourists to aid them during decision making processes like destination selection and c) the progress in information technology rendering access of information via the internet easier; the question arose whether the available land resource digital data can be processed to provide relevant tourism information on internet websites. Four tasks had to be done, namely: a) identifying tourists’ needs by means of a literature study on travel motivations and demand determinants; b) identifying the land resource data sets that could be processed into information to meet these identified needs; c) determining the accessibility of spatial information on internet tourism websites to potential agritourists and ecotourists, and d) exploring opportunities for adding value by looking at what information existing websites are offering in comparison with what can be obtained from repackaging the land resource data. Common ground was found between the spatial tourist information needs and the available spatial land resource data. This, coupled with the ability of combining meteorological and other humanmade environmental data in GIS modelling, suggests that repackaging land resource data seems to have the potential to offer useful tourism information in correspondence with confirmed tourist information needs.

Esta tese veicula uma investigação sobre o papel do turismo para a agricultura familiar. Diante dos problemas do êxodo rural, das desigualdades sociais e das limitadas alternativas de renda para comunidades rurais brasileiras, o estudo dos efeitos do turismo torna-se pertinente para refletir sobre sua capacidade de oferecer soluções pertinentes e vantajosas para os agricultores familiares. Assim, objetiva-se aqui caracterizar e identificar elementos socioculturais e ambientais que possam se constituir em referencial para estudos do turismo e sua contribuição para agricultura familiar. Para tal propósito, realizou-se um estudo de caso na população tradicional remanescente de quilombo Mandira e Reserva Extrativista do Mandira-SP. A tese contém reflexões sobre a ruralidade, a agricultura familiar e o turismo. Efetivamente, a agricultura familiar desempenha papel importante no espaço agrário. A discussão sobre a problemática ambiental no planeta, a emergência do termo sustentabilidade, tomando lugar da noção de ecodesenvolvimento transformam a reflexão sobre a agricultura familiar e as comunidades tradicionais. Neste contexto, a abordagem teórica da multifuncionalidade da agricultura familiar constitui um meio pertinente para a leitura sobre o equilíbrio socioambiental no meio rural. Através das lentes da multifuncionalidade, há uma inter-relação profunda entre ecologia, agricultura e turismo, deste modo a pesquisa percorre o debate sobre as preocupações em torno do turismo e da agricultura familiar. Em termos de estudo empírico, analisa-se a multifuncionalidade na comunidade Mandira como ferramenta para avaliação da atividade turística local. A investigação trata notadamente da infraestrutura turística na comunidade, dos passeios propostos em Mandira, da forma de hospedagem, das reservas, das formas de divulgação, do fluxo turístico e da participação do mandiranos na atividade turística. Com esses elementos, analisamos em que medida o turismo local se ancora na cultura local, favorecendo suas manifestações e revigorando suas tradições. A multifuncionalidade da agricultura familiar em Mandira é tomada portanto para uma análise do turismo. Trata-se de considerar os efeitos desta atividade para a manutenção do tecido social e cultural, a promoção da segurança alimentar, a reprodução socioeconômica das família e a preservação dos recursos naturais e da paisagem rural. Desta maneira, concebe-se um modelo de análise original para a avaliação do turismo comunitário ou do agroturismo no Brasil. / This thesis conveys an investigation about the role of tourism in family farming. Given the problems of rural exodus, social inequalities and limited alternative sources of income for rural Brazilian communities, the study of the effects of tourism is pertinent to reflect on the ability to provide relevant and viable solutions for family farmers. Thus, the objective here is to characterize and identify socio-cultural and environmental elements that may constitute a reference for studies of tourism and its contribution to family farming. For this purpose, we performed a case study in the Mandira traditional population of remanescent of quilombo and Mandira Extractive Reserve, Brazil. The thesis contains reflections on rurality, family farming and tourism. Effectively, family farming plays an important role in the agricultural space. The discussion of environmental problems on the planet, the emergence of the term sustainability, the concept of eco-development transforms the reflection on family farms and traditional communities. In this context, the theoretical approach on multifunctionality of family farming is a useful medium for analysing the environmental balance in the rural areas. Through the lens of multifunctionality, there is a deep relationship between ecology, agriculture and tourism. Thus, the research traverses the debate concerning tourism and the family farming. In terms of empirical study, we analyze multifunctionality in Mandira community as a tool for assessing local touristic activity. The investigation deals mainly with tourism infrastructure in the community, tours, hospitality, reservations, marketing practices, tourist flow and the populatoion\'s participation in the tourism activity. With these elements, we analyze to what extent the local tourism anchors in the local culture, favoring its manifestations and reinvigorating their traditions. The multifunctionality of agriculture is taken for an analysis of tourism. It considers the effects of this activity for the maintenance of the social and cultural fabric, the promotion of food security, socioeconomic reproduction of families and the preservation of natural resources and Landscape. Thus, designing na original model for evaluating community tourism or agritourism in Brazil.

Согласно стратегии социально-экономического развития Краснодарского края до 2030 года, Краснодарский край является лидером и «локомотивом» развития Южного полюса роста России и демонстрирует очень высокий уровень конкурентоспособности. Согласно международной организации виноградарства и виноделия Россия в рейтинге потребления вина стоит на 7 месте, а по производству –– на 12. Регион Краснодарского края является лидером по объемам производства виноградных вин в Российской Федерации, а именно: 48% от общего объема производства вин в стране. На сегодня доля туристических услуг в структуре выручки винных хозяйств в регионе достигает 15-20% и более. В 2019 году объекты агротуризма Краснодарского края приняли свыше 600 тыс. человек, что на 150 тыс. чел. больше в сравнении с предыдущим годом, из которых каждый третий турист, отдыхающий на Кубани, посетил винодельни и винные центры региона. В концепции развития санаторно-курортного и туристского комплекса Краснодарского края до 2030 года винный туризм обозначается как часть сельского (аграрного) туризма и рассматривается как перспективное направление. Также регион Краснодарского края (группа компаний «Абрау-Дюрсо») представлен как часть Европейского культурного маршрута виноградной лозы и вина «Iter Vitis - Les Chemins de la Vigne». Цель исследования – выявить перспективы развития энотуризма в Краснодарском крае. Цель исследования предполагает решение следующих конкретных задач: - Изучить природные и культурно-исторические ресурсы региона и определить приоритетные направления туризма в Краснодарском крае; - Изучить предпосылки и историю развития энотуризма в мире и выявить его специфику и особенности классификации; - Провести анализ современного состояния сферы энотуризма в странах-лидерах производства и потребления вина и определить уникальность энотуристской отрасли Краснодарского края; - провести экспертизу винодельческих хозяйств Краснодарского края, рассмотрев перспективы развития. Винодельческие предприятия строят планы по развитию инфраструктуры, многие принимают туристов, имеют разнообразные и насыщенные экскурсионные программы. Засаживаются новые виноградники, закрытые малые хозяйства рассматривают перспективу приема малых групп, а для специалистов винной отрасли есть возможность попасть почти на любую винодельню по предварительной договоренности. Регион Краснодарского края заинтересован в продвижении энотуризма, прослеживаются попытки взаимодействия властей с частными хозяйствами. Даже малые винодельни готовы инвестировать в развитие своей инфраструктуры для привлечения новых туристов. В регионе задействуются все возможные механизмы популяризации отрасли винного туризма как на государственном уровне, так и на предпринимательском. / According to the strategy of social and economic development of the Krasnodar Territory until 2030, the Krasnodar Territory is the leader and "locomotive" of the development of the South Pole of Russia's growth and demonstrates a very high level of competitiveness. According to the international organization of viticulture and winemaking, Russia ranks 7th in the wine consumption rating, and 12th in terms of production. The Krasnodar Territory region is the leader in terms of production of grape wines in the Russian Federation, namely: 48% of the total volume of wine production in the country ... Today, the share of tourism services in the structure of revenue of wine farms in the region reaches 15-20% and more. In 2019, the agritourism facilities of the Krasnodar Territory received over 600 thousand people, which is 150 thousand people. more in comparison with the previous year, of which every third tourist, vacationing in the Kuban, visited the wineries and wine centers of the region. In the concept of the development of the sanatorium-resort and tourist complex of the Krasnodar Territory until 2030, wine tourism is designated as a part of rural (agricultural) tourism and is considered as a promising direction. Also, the region of Krasnodar Territory (the Abrau-Dyurso group of companies) is presented as part of the European cultural route of grapevine and wine “Iter Vitis - Les Chemins de la Vigne”. The purpose of the study is to identify the prospects for the development of enotourism in the Krasnodar Territory. The purpose of the study involves the solution of the following specific tasks: - Explore the natural and cultural-historical resources of the region and determine the priority areas of tourism in the Krasnodar Territory; - To study the prerequisites and history of the development of enotourism in the world and identify its specificity and features of the classification; - To analyze the current state of the wine tourism industry in the leading countries in the production and consumption of wine and to determine the uniqueness of the wine tourism industry in the Krasnodar Territory; - to conduct an examination of the wineries of the Krasnodar Territory, having considered the development prospects. Winemaking enterprises are making plans for the development of infrastructure, many of them receive tourists, and have varied and rich excursion programs. New vineyards are being planted, closed small farms are considering the prospect of accepting small groups, and for specialists of the wine industry there is an opportunity to get to almost any winery by prior arrangement. The Krasnodar Territory region is interested in promoting enotourism; attempts are being made to interact between the authorities and private farms. Even small wineries are ready to invest in the development of their infrastructure to attract new tourists. The region uses all possible mechanisms to popularize the wine tourism industry both at the state level and at the business level.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The amalgamation of the two large industries, agriculture and tourism, created a new industry called agritourism. Current farming practices are not securing employment opportunities for farm workers, and this situation will be aggravated by the increased economic pressures on farming. Agritourism is seen as a diversification option which could assist in creating jobs for the vulnerable and unemployed farm community, while at the same time create financial incentives to the farmer. This study specifically focused on the advantages which could be derived from agritourism, with Sen’s Capabilities Theory being used as frame of reference when determining the non-financial benefits accruing to the local community on the farm. A qualitative research approach was followed and information was gathered through interviews, observations and being embedded in the researched spaces. Two case study sites were used for primary research, Keisies Cottages (situated outside Montagu) and Tierhoek Cottages (situated outside Robertson). The management approach applied on the farms play an important role in developing the farm workers’ capabilities, entitlements and functionings as articulated in Sen’s Capabilities Theory. The two South African agritourism case study sites were found to follow some of the international trends identified during the literature review of this study but also offered new findings relevant to the South African context. Although agritourism is seen as a diversification strategy to ensure survival for most farmers, such strategies offer both financial and non-financial benefits to the broader farming community while having the potential to create a refuge for urban dwellers and assist visitors to reconnect with the farmers and their produce. This research contributes to the South African agritourism literature, which is currently limited. By highlighting some of the advantages of this industry, this research could also assist farm owners who are considering agritourism as a diversification strategy. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: `n Nuwe industrie genaamd agritoerisme word geskep wanneer twee groot industriee, landbou en toerisme, amalgameer. Huidige landbou praktyke verseker nie werksgeleenthede vir plaaswerkers nie, en hierdie situasie sal vererger word deur verhoogde ekonomiese druk op landbou. Agritoerisme word gesien as a diversifiserings opsie wat kan help om werksgeleenthede te skep vir die weerlose en werklose plaaswerkers. Hierdie studie het veral gefokus op die voordele wat geskep word deur agritoerisme, en Sen se Vermoëns Teorie is gebruik as verwysingsraamwerk wanneer die niefinansiële voordele ondersoek is van die plaasgemeenskap. `n Kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering is gevolg en inligting is ingesamel deur middel van onderhoude, obserwasies en om in die navorsingsspasie te wees. Twee gevallestudie liggings is gebruik vir die primêre navorsing, Keisies Cottages (geleë buite Montagu) en Tierhoek Cottages (geleë buite Robertson). Die bestuursbenadering wat gevolg word op die plase speel `n rol in die ontwikkeling van die plaaswerkers se vermoëns, aansprake en funksionerings, soos bespreek in Sen se teorie. Die twee Suid-Afrikaanse gevallestudie liggings het sommige internasionale tendense gevolg soos wat geidentifiseer is tydens die literatuur studie, maar het ook unieke Suid- Afrikaanse bevindinge tot gevolg gehad. Alhoewel agritoerisme gesien word as `n divesifisering strategie wat oorlewing verseker vir meeste plaaseienaars, bied hierdie strategie finansiële en nie-finansiële voordele aan die breër plaasgemeenskap, terwyl dit die potensiaal het om `n toevlugsoord te skep vir stadsbewoners en dit kan help om besoekers met boere en hul produkte te skakel. Hierdie navorsing dra by tot die Suid-Afrikaanse agritoerisme literatuur wat tans beperk is. Deur sommige voordele van hierdie industrie te beklemtoon, kan hierdie navorsing boere leiding bied wat agritoerisme oorweeg as diversifiseringsstrategie.

This paper explores two potential land use planning strategies that can be used to preserve and enhance the economic viability of agricultural operations surrounded by suburban development in Santa Barbara County’s Eastern Goleta Valley: buffers between agriculture and other land uses, and agritourism. In the case of buffers, academic literature is examined to determine how effective buffers are at various tasks (filtering runoff, mitigating dust and wind, providing habitat, etc.) and how to construct buffers to maximize their effectiveness. Land use plans and codes from several California jurisdictions are studied to see how buffers are put to use. Academic literature is then reviewed to discover the benefits and potential drawbacks of agritourism to agricultural operations and the larger area. The zoning codes from the top five agritourism counties in California are evaluated to see how effective they are at facilitating five common agritourism uses; these best practices are then compared to the current zoning in Santa Barbara County. This paper concludes by summarizing the applicability of the literature and case studies to Eastern Goleta Valley, and proposes a new zoning designation and other policies to help maintain the urban agriculture operations. This new zoning designation includes a 30-foot minimum width for buffers and a three-tier categorization of land uses capable of promoting agritourism.
