No. of bitstreams: 1 SueniaFSG_DISSERT.pdf: 4824081 bytes, checksum: 52cbde7f212f8a84a8e38d9df79f5cee (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-05-07 / This study is the analysis of cultural, political and organizational interfaces of "Caminhos do Frio Rota Cultural" Project in the context of tourism regionalization in Brejo Paraibano and it presents the characterization, routing and inventory of six municipalities of the Project, as well as the identification of cultural elements used for tourist in the routing of the pond, the investigation of political and organizational articulation and the verification of participation of each producing agent in the development of tourism resulting from the swamp of Paraiba. This is a qualitative descriptive and exploratory study, which makes use of the interpretive paradigm to perform an analysis of the environment where occurs the regionalization of tourism in Brejo of Para?ba and the social actors involved in this process in order to pursue development of the region through culture and tourism, with the collection spot in the six counties of the Project participants collected through interviews with managers, community, government agencies and tourist trade, and the use of the technique of direct observation. This time, with the data analysis it was possible to establish the production situation and its cultural and tourist development in the region of Brejo (PB), where culture has become a developmental tool within the tourism industry due to its innovation potential. It was possible to ratify the undisputed vocation of cultural tourism in the region in question, since other projects being developed with the use of cultural resources with a strong influence on the policies of regional tourism. Thus, the main result was that was seen is that the regional development has triggered a refunctionalisation / reappropriation of space just rebuilding a new territorial organization through the development of a regional autonomy of management, a capacity of collective ownership and the use of economic surplus, a spontaneous process of social inclusion as well as awareness and mobilization tourist (even if initial and shy), an appreciation of natural and cultural assets for all stakeholders and especially identification of the population with its region and its culture, as to achieve regional development is not enough to increase the economic, but above all the promotion of endogenous social factors such as changes in social and cultural values and the integration of social actors in this process. Finally, taking into account the definitions of sustainability, it is considered that cannot be said that the development model seen in the swamp of Paraiba is sustainable, but it is a model of regional development based on the unique characteristics that each municipality has and create a regional identity and have correponded expectations / desired results and therefore the viability of the region through the development of cultural tourism was proven / O presente estudo consiste na an?lise das interfaces cultural, pol?tica e organizacional do projeto Caminhos do Frio - Rota Cultural no contexto da regionaliza??o do turismo no Brejo Paraibano e apresenta a caracteriza??o, roteiriza??o e inventariamento dos 6 munic?pios componentes do projeto Caminhos do Frio Rota Cultural, a identifica??o dos elementos culturais de uso tur?stico utilizados na roteiriza??o do Brejo, a investiga??o da articula??o pol?tica e organizacional do projeto e a verifica??o da participa??o de cada agente produtor do turismo resultante no desenvolvimento do Brejo Paraibano. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e explorat?rio, de car?ter qualitativo, que utiliza-se do paradigma interpretativista para realizar uma an?lise do ambiente no qual ocorre a regionaliza??o do turismo no Brejo da Para?ba e como os atores sociais participam do processo, de forma a buscar o desenvolvimento da regi?o atrav?s da cultura e turismo, com a coleta in loco nos 6 munic?pios part?cipes do Projeto coletadas atrav?s de entrevistas aos gestores, comunidade, ?rg?os p?blicos e trade tur?stico, al?m do uso da t?cnica da observa??o direta. Desta feita, com a an?lise dos dados p?de-se estabelecer a situa??o da produ??o cultural e tur?stica e seu desenvolvimento na regi?o do Brejo (PB), onde a cultura apresenta-se um instrumento desenvolvimentista dentro da atividade tur?stica devido ao seu potencial de inova??o. Foi poss?vel ratificar a inquestion?vel voca??o do turismo cultural da regi?o em quest?o, j? sendo desenvolvidos outros projetos com a utiliza??o dos recursos culturais tendo uma forte influ?ncia nas pol?ticas do turismo regional. Assim, como principal resultado v?-se que o desenvolvimento regional desencadeou um processo de refuncionaliza??o/ reapropria??o do espa?o que acabou reconstruindo uma nova ordena??o territorial atrav?s do desenvolvimento de uma autonomia regional de gest?o, de uma capacidade de apropria??o e uso coletivo do excedente econ?mico, de um processo espont?neo de inclus?o social, assim como de conscientiza??o e mobiliza??o tur?stica (mesmo que inicial e t?mido), de uma valoriza??o dos bens naturais e culturais por todos os agentes envolvidos e principalmente de uma identifica??o da popula??o com sua regi?o e sua cultura, pois para se atingir o desenvolvimento regional n?o basta apenas o incremento econ?mico, mas, sobretudo a promo??o dos fatores sociais end?genos como a mudan?a nos valores sociais e culturais e a integra??o dos atores sociais neste processo. Por fim, levando-se em conta as defini??es de sustentabilidade, considera-se que n?o se pode afirmar que o modelo de desenvolvimento visto no Brejo Paraibano ? sustent?vel, por?m ? um modelo de desenvolvimento regional baseado nas caracter?sticas singulares que cada munic?pio possui e que cria uma identidade regional e t?m correspondido ?s expectativas/ resultados almejados e, portanto, a viabilidade da regi?o ao desenvolvimento atrav?s do turismo cultural ficou comprovada

Both garden ontology and tourists influence garden tourism, and while many countries around the world have researched garden tourism, China's garden tourism market lacks development. This study aims to find a sustainable and distinctive development path for garden tourism development in complementary developed China. This study uses primarily qualitative research to interview visitors to Chinese garden tourism sites, using visitor experience factors and international case studies to explore the development of Chinese garden tourism. The study results show that Chinese gardens are characterized by developing essential elements: discovering tourism values, increasing infrastructure development, innovative management, and creating a and connotation of sustainable development. Thus, the study project will fill the gap in the development of garden tourism in China and provide a creative direction for the development of garden tourism in China.

La Tesi indaga sulle attività finalizzate a valorizzare i beni culturali materiali e immateriali che costituiscono una risorsa del nostro paese, formalmente molto tutelata, ma ancora poco valorizzata. L’obiettivo è quello di delineare politiche e progetti territoriali e urbani a partire dal riconoscimento del valore dei beni culturali da parte delle comunità locali, e gli strumenti di gestione e di valutazione a sostegno di scelte condivise e fattibili. Le azioni da intraprendere riguarderanno più forme di turismo culturale integrate con più campi di attività sociale ed economica nella convinzione che ciò possa garantire uno sviluppo “sostenibile”, attraverso un equilibrio tra popolazione residente e popolazione turistica e tra i canali di investimento pubblici e privati in più settori di attività economica. Il lavoro si sviluppa in una prima parte indagando le dinamiche turistiche, il significato di cultura e bene culturale, gli approcci finalizzati all'analisi dei fenomeni culturali e termina con l’elaborazione di una matrice e dei relativi indicatori e campi di indagine, sottoposta agli operatori economici circa le potenzialità e le criticità del sistema turistico italiano. La seconda parte descrive l’importanza ed il ruolo di alcuni personaggi del passato e di oggi, che hanno contribuito al miglioramento della qualità della vita attraverso interventi nei settori della cultura e della domanda sociale. Inoltre sono stati affinati ed ampliati i campi di indagine e gli indicatori della matrice, somministrata a più categorie di stakeholders, con l’obiettivo di indagare le differenze di approccio e di punto di vista di operatori privati e pubblici. L'ultima parte della Tesi traccia una proposta di procedura per la programmazione e per la valorizzazione degli attrattori turistici locali, individuando come volano la componente culturale presente in ognuno di essi e le modalità di integrazione con altri aspetti del territorio, con particolare attenzione alle località del territorio italiano meno conosciute. / This PhD Thesis investigates the activities aimed to promote cultural heritage and intangible assets that constitute a resource of our country, formally very protected, but still little valorized. The mission is to delineate urban and territorial policies and projects, starting from the recognition of cultural heritage value by local communities, and delineate tools for management and promotion supporting feasible and shared choices. Actions to be undertaken will concern many cultural tourism types integrated with social and economic activities, because the belief is that all of this will ensure “sustainable” development. This is possible through a balance between resident and touristic population, and through public and private investment channels in many sectors of economic activity. The first part of the Thesis investigates the tourism’s dynamics, culture and cultural heritage’s meaning. This part inquires approaches aimed to analyze cultural phenomena, and it ends with developing a matrix with associated indicators and research’s range, to submit to economic stakeholders to investigate potentiality and critical aspects of Italian tourism. The second part of Thesis describes the importance of some present and past characters who have contributed to improve quality of life, through interventions in cultural and in social demand’s areas. In this part it has been refined the range of investigation and the matrix’s indicators, and the matrix has been given to various groups of stakeholders, with the aim to explore the differences in terms of approaches and viewpoints of private and public operators. The third, and the last, part of the Thesis tries to draw a procedure’s proposal to program and valorize the local touristic attractors, identifying in each of them the cultural component, and how they interact with other aspects of the territory, focusing on lesser-known places of Italian territory.
