Cultural Heritage Tourism

Tourism has emerged as one of the world’s largest industries and a fast growing economic sector. The Asian region attracts a growing number of quality-conscious tourists as it is endowed with a rich bio-cultural/heritage diversity. However, the diversity and integrity of many Asian tourist destinations have been severely eroded or irreversibly damaged due to ill-conceived, poorly planned, and under-regulated mass tourism and other human activities, increasing the conflicts between conservation and local livelihoods. Fortunately, the newly emerging community-based eco-cultural heritage tourism (CBECHT) can be effectively used in the region for achieving the objectives of sustainable development by integrating pro-poor tourism approaches. Such approaches are strongly promoted and supported by several international organizations as well as Local Agenda 21. This article provides a broad conceptual framework for this approach and evaluates the potentials and constraints for evolving and implementing such strategies in the region with their policy/planning implications.

Culture, environment and, therefore, knowledge of socioeconomic constructs are intricately interwoven. Over the past decade or two, pastoralists without formal education in Kenyan drylands have increasingly found themselves on the receiving end of community empowerment trainings that lean towards human–wildlife conflict and environmental conservation. Why would research entities set aside mega budgets to teach the pastoralist about human–wildlife conflict? A pastoralist who has long roamed drylands with his livestock grazing alongside elephants and lions, and whose major life transition ceremonies, celebrations, songs, riddles, proverbs, sayings, poetry and jokes fundamentally feature wildlife. What makes these trainings in ‘imparting knowledge’ superior to the ‘indigenous knowledge’ already in the custody of the Borana or the Turkana or the Rendile? This article explores the relevance of community-based knowledges in addressing sustainable development and climate resilience, as articulated by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The specific setting for this discussion is the Kenyan drylands, which are central to the achievement of the SDG agenda given that they constitute 84 percent of Kenya’s total land surface. They also host up to 75 percent of  Kenya’s wildlife population, account for more than 80 percent of the country’s eco-tourism interests and support about 9.9 million Kenyans, or approximately 34 percent of the Kenyan population. Today, the drylands are impoverished, deficient for both humans and nature. Their vulnerability to disasters is amplified, while their resilience to shocks is greatly weakened, a situation made worse by climate change. To understand the importance of community-based knowledges within policy making for sustainability and resilience, this article examines in detail epistemological, social, historical, political and environmental factors converging on the Kenyan drylands, as well as the opportunity to address this complexity that the SDGs represent.

Project Angonoka, in its aim to conserve the endangered angonoka or ploughshare tortoise Geochelone yniphora in north-western Madagascar, has given a high priority to working with local people. Many of the environmental changes threatening the angonoka also cause difficulties for local people. An environmental awareness campaign has used the angonoka as a main theme, as an animal unique to the region whose near extinction symbolizes the impact of environmental changes occurring in the area. This campaign has stimulated the creation of village environmental associations. The activities undertaken by these associations have demonstrated a local willingness to manage and conserve their environment, and show how promotion of a flagship species can stimulate more general environmental conservation and sustainable development.

A buffer zone for RCNP is considered an effective means to mitigate and contain the Park–local people conflict. Its creation adjacent to the National Park will enable local people to engage in multiple-use activities that will provide benefits not only to themselves but protect the Park's integrity as well. Except for the much-degraded Barandabar Forest, the other small parcels of forest that exist around the Royal Chitwan National Park are highly inadequate to provide additional wildlife protection and environmental conservation. RCNP does not have any area that, to date, is exclusively designated as a buffer zone. The Barandabar Forest is still envisaged as an additional protection to the Park, although continual grazing, lopping of branches and twigs from trees, and timber extraction, by the local people, have extensively diminished its biological values.

In connection with the environmental problems that have become more acute at the global level, it has been recognized the need for society to take the path of sustainable development, the main principles of which are focused on a decent standard of living for each member of society, reducing the anthropogenic burden on nature and preserving the environment, including for future generations, as well as the integrated solution of environmental, social and economic issues at the global and local levels. In the process of implementing this concept, a fundamental role of culture was revealed, and a specific role of environmental culture as well, which would ensure a harmonious development of the society and the environment. In particular, it is necessary to transform the worldview, re-evaluate the values and shift the emphasis in consumption from material benefits to spiritual ones.This research is relevant because of the need to promote the principles of sustainable development in all areas of society that determine the current level of culture and civilization. This work is aimed at analyzing the potential of dance art as a source of indirect influence on the environmental consciousness and thought, reasonable attitude to nature during the environmental culture formation.Environmental culture is expressed in people’s perception of themselves as a part of nature. One of the elements of environmental culture is environmental consciousness. Having the ability to influence the emotional sphere of a person, art, in particular dance, is a useful tool for effectively perceiving environmental information and motivating environmental activities. Due to its polyfunctionality, art can aid to form the environmental identity at the level of the following components: cognitive (informational, gnostical, educational function), emotional (compensatory, suggestive one), instrumental (social-transforming function).Based on the analysis of scientific literature and some musical and choreographic works from the standpoint of the ecocentric paradigm, the article suggests that choreography in environmentally oriented performances can serve as one of the effective means of evoking empathy at the deep kinesthetic level, environmental empathy. Choreography can play the role of an emotional component in the process of forming environmental identity, which will in general contribute to the environmental consciousness formation at the individual level.
