Pelotas é conhecida como a capital nacional do doce. Nesse contexto, a indústria de conservas de pêssego é uma atividade secular nessa localidade, a qual se acha inserida dentro de uma região que concentra aproximadamente 62% da produção nacional. Trata-se de gênero industrial cujas raízes são eminentemente rurais. Tais fábricas surgiram pelo empreendedorismo de colonos oriundos, sobretudo, da França e Alemanha. Todavia, entre os anos 1950 e 1970 são implantadas diversas medidas governamentais que simultaneamente inviabilizam as pequenas fábricas rurais e favorecem o capital agroindustrial via concessão de grandes incentivos fiscais e creditícios. Não obstante, no interior das comunidades rurais as marcas dos tempos áureos das fábricas e dos moinhos persistem, apesar da ação do tempo. Para muitos, nada mais seriam do que registros imagéticos de tempos pretéritos, enquanto para outros seriam apenas a constatação de um ciclo que tende a sucumbir no curso dos processos econômicos. Mais recentemente surgiram museus etnográficos da cultura francesa, alemã e italiana que evocam o legado dos imigrantes e de seus descendentes, os quais surgiram em virtude de projetos de extensão conduzidos por docentes da UFPel. Este estudo se baseia em entrevistas em profundidade realizadas com diversos atores do território.Palavras-chaves: Pêssego; desenvolvimento rural; turismo rural; ruralidade.The bitter taste of forgetfulness: rural origins of the peach industry in Pelotas, BrazilABSTRACT Pelotas is known as the national capital of candy. In this context, the peach canning industry is a secular activity in this locality, which is located within a region that concentrates approximately 62% of national production. It is an industrial genre whose roots are eminently rural. Such factories arose due to the entrepreneurship of settlers, mainly from France and Germany. However, between 1950 and 1970 several governmental measures are implemented that simultaneously make small rural factories unfeasible and favor agro-industrial capital through the granting of large fiscal and credit incentives. Nevertheless, within rural communities, the golden age marks of factories and mills persist despite the action of time. For many, they would be nothing more than imagetic records of past times, while for others they would be merely the realization of a cycle that tends to succumb in the course of economic processes. More recently, ethnographic museums of French, German and Italian culture have emerged that evoke the legacy of immigrants and their descendants, which emerged as a result of extension projects led by UFPel teachers. This study is based on in-depth interviews with various local actors.Keywords: Peach; rural development; rural tourism; rurality.

The Village

The fact that rural tourism comes into prominence in struggling with poverty and in development as an instrument of solution, and the fact that it protects and develops local occupations of economic value differentiates people’s behaviors are the research  problems of this study.This study makes an effort to understand the process of building rural tourism in the Village of Tourism which has been opened to rural tourism for rural development, and to analyze the reflections in the community within the framework of the concepts of ecotourism, neoliberalism and tradition.      The study aims to focus on the explicit and implicit meanings of offering rural tourism service for the villagers and to inquire traditions. Villages transformed by supposedly preserving their traditionalism for the purposes of rural tourism and the villagers who are to serve to rural tourism are being commodified, re-created and consumed. The reflections of neoliberalism into the villagers  behaviors can easily be observed, just as the changes neoliberalism has caused in every field of life. Traditions are being re-created so that they serve to popular consumption.  ÖzetSürdürülebilirlik kapsamında kırsal turizmin, az gelişmiş bölgelerdeki yoksullukla mücadele ve kalkınmada bir çözüm aracı olarak öne çıkması ve yöresel ekonomik uğraşları (tarım, el sanatları vb.) koruması ve geliştirmesinin insanların davranışlarını farklılaştırması bu araştırmanın sorunsalını oluşturmaktadır.Araştırma kırsal kalkınma kapsamında kırsal turizme açılmış olan Turizm Köyü’nde, kırsal turizmin köyde yaşayan insanlara arasında inşa ediliş sürecini anlamaya çalışmak, topluluk arasındaki yansımalarını, ekoturizm, neoliberalizm ve gelenek kavramları çerçevesinde çözümlemektir. Köylüler için kırsal turizm hizmeti sunuyor olmanın açık ve örtük anlamları üzerinde yoğunlaşarak, geleneklerin sorgulanması hedeflenmiştir.Kırsal turizm kapsamında sözde gelenekselliği korunarak dönüştürülen köyler ve kırsal turizme hizmet verecek olan köylüler ve geleneksel değerler; metalaştırılarak yeniden üretilerek tüketiliyor.  Noeliberalizmin yaşamın tüm alanlarında yarattığı değişimler gibi köyde yaşayan insanların davranışlarına yansımaları da kolaylıkla görülüyor.  Gelenekler, popüler tüketime hizmet etmesi amacıyla yeniden üretiliyor.

Conceptual Study

PurposeThis is a conceptual study to analyze the potential of enset-based culinary tourism for sustainable rural development and to obtain a place as a niche tourism market in South-Western Ethiopia. It assumed enset agro-biodiversity as the effect of ages of environment, genetic resources and cultural interaction as a distinctive regional image.Design/methodology/approachThis an exploratory paper based on an in-depth interview, field observation and content analysis of documents. By means of in-depth interviews, the researchers managed to gather extended information from community elders and experts in culture and tourism offices selected based on a snowball technique. Besides, it has gone through systematic reviews of about 180 empirical and conceptual articles, books and conference papers with a critical reading of the content, identification of categories, examination and interpretation of ideas, to supplement the in-depth-interview. The thematic analysis applied to identify various ideas, concepts, categories and relationships to produce themes presented under discussion and results.FindingsThe study found enset-based culinary tourism not only improve the local economy and regional image, but also it would enhance conservation of traditional farming system, biodiversity, food heritages, genetic varieties and livestock. It also identified 18 enset food varieties compatible with the principle of balanced diets. Finally, the study advised rural development planners to consider enset-based culinary tourism so that it would revive lost food traditions and consumption patterns, enhance the regional heritage and destination branding.Research limitations/implicationsThe research is a conceptual study that lacked empirical investigation concerning the livelihood impact, gender implication and actual tourist data. Therefore, future research needs to focus on the aforementioned limitations.Practical implicationsThis study addressed SW Ethiopia, which is the primary center of Ensete ventricosum, and argued that enset-based culinary tourism would help to build regional image and obtain a place as a niche rural tourism destination. It would also contribute to the conservation of food heritages, environmentally sustainable farming system, soil conservation, crop diversities and livestock population in addition to producing tourist experience. Moreover, it would encourage the revival of traditional consumption, reinvent lost food traditions and identities.Social implicationsIt was hoped that rural tourism would eventually improve the livelihood and enhance the capability of resilience. It is also expected to maintain the traditional social-economic structure based on the enset farm while fostering cultural development.Originality/valueTo the knowledge of the researchers there is no previous work on enset based-culinary tourism in Ethiopia and probably there is no published culinary tourism paper elsewhere.

Complex Interactions

In many European regions, rural areas are facing major challenges in economic and social terms, consequence of transformations in the role and meaning of agriculture. The loss of the productive character strongly contributed to the emergence of new roles and functions, particularly related to leisure and tourism. The book aims to discuss questions directly related to the connections between rural tourism and local socioeconomic contexts, presenting diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives and diff erent case studies from various European regions. The book addresses the relationships among rural tourism and the complex interactions, confl icts and innovative processes developing in rural territories as consequence of the implementation of tourism activities. The book responds to some relevant and not yet comprehensively researched aspects within this topic, especially in what extent tourism, in its various forms and processes, might give an important contribution to rural development.

The Given

Tourism and – in the countryside – rural tourism can fulfill an essential role in the economy and in rural development. The strengthening and diversification of the economic base of the countryside cannot be viewed as sufficient on its own; there can be a need for the development of the activities which use local means with the diversification and variegation of those activities. The implementation of diversification, production, processing, and marketing of folk-like goods, linking agriculture to tourism can contribute to the economy and to the increase of the region-carrying power of the given population. In our study, we examined the tourism of the district of Berettyóújfalu. We found out that the possibilities for tourism in the district of Berettyóújfalu are less known and the seasonal fluctuation connecting to programs means a particular problem. Helping the information flow, organizing and popularization of traditional and rural-like programs, tasting of local foods and creating program packages can result in a more balanced season and can provide a more reliable source of income for the hosts of the rural district
