“…While mediators are important in both the td and bu approaches, the current study suggests that they play a more pivotal role in the td approach, which is often adopted in situations in which local authorities or government bodies traditionally hold strong power (Wang & Wall, 2007). Government bodies often develop policies for local development without sufficient consultation with the local people.…”

“…The top-down (td) approach facilitates community capacity building in a trickle-down manner (Wang & Wall, 2007). The approach is often used to develop the macro-level economy of the community or region (Ashley & Elliott, 2003).…”

“…The td approach is often used when government authorities traditionally hold strong power over local communities and in which a hierarchical structure is culturally embraced in the society (e.g. high power distance) (Wang & Wall, 2007). The approach is also used when governments identify potential economic benefits in local communities (e.g.…”

“…government bodies) often occur, which makes local development unsustainable (Moscardo, 2008). Furthermore, a strong emphasis on macro-economic benefits sometimes displaces existing communities to 'somewhere else, ' which also becomes another cause of disputes between local residents and developers (Wang & Wall, 2007). Another key issue associated with the td approach is a lack of partnerships among stakeholders.…”

The Role of Intermediaries in Community Capacity Building: Pro-Poor Tourism Perspective

A growing recognition that tourism is a feasible strategy for poverty alleviation explains why pro-poor tourism (ppt) has gained increased attention. While many developing nations have benefited from the positive effects that ppt brings to their local economies, many communities are left behind due to their lack of capacity to conduct tourism activities. To develop local communities and introduce ppt, topdown (td) and bottom-up (bu) approaches have often been adopted; however, these approaches cannot yield expected outcomes without strong stakeholder intermediaries who play a crucial role in overcoming key challenges inherited in community capacity building. This study examines the roles of four types of stakeholder intermediaries commonly discussed in community capacity building. Based on their roles and limitations, the study presents a framework that proposes a context in which each type of stakeholder intermediary contributes prominently to successful community capacity building. The study provides valuable insights into how scholars and practitioners can consider the selection and application of different types of stakeholder intermediaries in community capacity building for the successful adaptation of ppt.

Based on the concept of sea-land coordination and the statistical data of Hainan Province from 1999 to 2013, we establish a new evaluation index system included four aspects-economic development, social progress, environmental protection and resource efficiency-and use the integrated approach (such as the combination weight method, the coupling coordination degree model, the scissors difference model and the dynamic coupling coordination degree model) to measure the coupling coordination degree of a sea-land system. The results show that: (1) the overall development level of sea system and land system are gradually improved; (2) the coupling coordination degree of sea-land system is gradually from moderately uncoordinated to well coordinated, and the comprehensive evaluation value of sea system has a greater effect on the coupling coordination degree D than that of land system; (3) the scissors difference between sea system and land system is gradually increasing; (4) the dynamic coupling coordination degree of the sea-land system which favors a parabolic shape is basically in the break-in development stage; (5) in the process of sea-land system coordination, the influencing factors of economic development, the social progress and resource efficiency should be given priority and, at the same time, strengthen the environmental protection efforts and awareness to promote the role of environmental protection in the sea-land coordination.

Land acquisition in rural tourism destinations: How social relations influence cooperative behaviours?

Land acquisition is becoming prevalent in most rural destinations. This study investigates the dynamic interaction process between rural residents regarding tourism‐led land acquisition and analyses how social relations influence cooperative behaviours by using social network analysis. The findings suggest that informal social relations between rural residents transmit influence and information, generating significantly positive impacts on individuals' land acquisition decisions. The multiple regression‐quadratic assignment procedure results further show that residential ties and political ties positively relate to the second land acquisition decision and that dynamic changes in formal political relations significantly facilitate the cooperative behaviour of rural residents. Our study suggests that building diverse social linkages between local governments and rural residents is conducive to promoting cooperation, shedding light on rural cooperative behaviours and sustainable tourism development.
