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.

Trophy hunting has potential to support conservation financing and contribute towards rural development. We conducted a systematic review of the Zimbabwean trophy hunting perspective spanning from pre-1890 to 2015, by examining the following: (1) evolution of legal instruments, administration, and governance of trophy hunting, (2) significance of trophy hunting in conservation financing and rural development, and (3) key challenges, emerging issues in trophy hunting industry, and future interventions. Our review shows that (i) there has been a constant evolution in the policies related to trophy hunting and conservation in Zimbabwe as driven by local and international needs; (ii) trophy hunting providing incentives for wildlife conservation (e.g., law enforcement and habitat protection) and rural communities’ development. Emerging issues that may affect trophy hunting include illegal hunting, inadequate monitoring systems, and hunting bans. We conclude that trophy hunting is still relevant in wildlife conservation and rural communities’ development especially in developing economies where conservation financing is inadequate due to fiscal constraints. We recommend the promotion of net conservation benefits for positive conservation efforts and use of wildlife conservation credits for the opportunity costs associated with reducing trophy hunting off-take levels and promoting nonconsumptive wildlife use options.

The sustainability transition of rural areas is a must due to rapid climate changes and biodiversity loss. Given the limited resources of rural communities, policy should facilitate a just sustainability transition of the EU rural areas. The analysis of EU development policies, past performance and the envisaged scope of reform, presented in this study point to a serious inconsistency between the declaration and implementation of relevant policies. Namely, the marginal role rural areas perform in common agricultural policy and cohesion policy; a result of the lack of a complex approach to rural development. The analysis was based on the concept of good governance and took a multi-level perspective. It advocates territorial justice as an approach that should be at the core of creating a comprehensive policy for rural areas in the EU, including their diversity and empowering local communities to choose the transition pathway that is most in line with their current situation and development capacity. This analysis fills a gap in research on the evolution of the rural development policy in the EU. This research can inform the reprioritization and intensification of efforts to create equitable policies for EU rural development.

Our study focuses on the planning and revitalization of mountainous rural tourism to generate income for many rural communities. It targets a community of Great Kabylie in the heart of Djurdjura massif in the eastern part of Tizi-Ouzou province in Algeria. Tourism in these mountainous areas could contribute to rural development, given that it covers 80% of the region and records 13913 tourist overnight stays. Rural tourism can be a valuable tool for local development in the Yakouren municipality. This paper is based on a literature review, field surveys, descriptive and analytical approach to revitalizing mountainous rural tourism in Yakouren, and revealing its potential through various methods, including Butler's theory, SWOT analysis, and elaboration of an indicator grid, and calculation of tourist traffic. From the results, we identified eight segments that attract tourists and five segments that villagers request. Finally, in a conceptual approach, we discuss the impact of this market on rural areas structure and propose some ideas to overcome it. As a result, through constant promotion, Yakouren can benefit from an increase in tourist traffic. Rural tourism in this mountainous community can be an essential source of income, but it requires investment.

Rural tourism is one tour package that is highly desirable for foreign tourists, especially European tourists. Rural tourism has an important role and provides many benefits in the tourism sector for rural communities. When tourists travel to rural areas, they indirectly help local communities in developing rural areas and living standards. Furthermore, homestay is one of the criteria for a tourist village. Homestay is a product of the tourism industry where tourists can meet directly with local residents. Tourists who stay at the homestay and given an offer of rural tour packages, can be an opportunity for the community to attract tourists to stay longer by enjoying a variety of natural and cultural activities in the tourist village. This study aimed to determine the perceptions of European tourists on rural tour packages at D’Karang Homestay. The benefit of this research is to add references in tourism studies especially about the perceptions of European tourists on rural tourism packages. The research methods used were observation, interview, questionnaire and documentation. This research revealed European tourist perceptions of the rural tour packages offered by D’Karang Homestay but there are still shortcomings that need to be corrected.

Rural tourism and agrotourism have an extremely important contribution in rural area’s development, not only in financial terms but also in terms of increasing and improving the quality of life of residents from these areas. So, the development of these forms of tourism is required in the rural area, both economically and socially. Known as an important ethnographic area of the country, with traditional elements specific, Almaj Valley through natural and cultural potential available, it stands more and more lately by intensifying rural tourist and ecotourist activity. However, tourist infrastructure is very underdeveloped, to rural communities returning the mission to get more involved in this purpose, having in view, the national and international recognition of the high tourism potential of this area Romanian area still retains, quite well, the traditional, cultural, ethnographic and folklore valences specific to rural areas, providing favorable conditions for development of rural tourism and agrotourism. Romanian villages have a rich tourist potential, having diversified tourist resources: traditions, customs and folk values, cultural monuments, historical and art and an unpolluted natural environment with a rich natural tourism potential. Almajului Depression known as well as the Almaj Country, Almajului Valley or Bozovici Depression is situated in the South-East side of Banat Mountains, in the south of Caras-Severin county, near the Parallel 45°, being an intramountainous depression, of ellipsoidal form of NE-SW orientation, belonging to Nera basin.

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.

Aggregate extraction and agriculture are prominent land uses in rural southern Ontario, and both industries are vital contributors to the provincial economy. However, these industries compete for the same land base and their operations have the potential to negatively impact the other. There is currently little research into this relationship, particularly at the site or neighbour scale. This project, in its third year, is designed to address this gap and to provide best management practices to both agricultural and aggregate operators, as well as local and provincial governments, about how these industries can better work together. While research has been conducted regarding the social impacts of aggregate extraction on rural residents, little is known regarding the social, economic, environmental and land use impacts on farms operating in close proximity to aggregate extraction activity. The aggregate industry is widely believed to cause a variety of undesirable impacts, including noise, dust, road traffic, extended hours of operation, as well as a loss of water quantity and quality. The development of best management practices is important to help mitigate these potential impacts, both at the local level and for rural communities at large. This presentation provides a summary of research to date as well a preliminary analysis of more than 150 farm surveys collected over the last year. Next steps include further consultation with aggregate operators and more in-depth  interviews with key informants from both industries.

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.
