“…Community-based farming organizations (CBFO) mainly help farmers who are elderly and have difficulty farming on their own to maintain their existing agricultural activities but also have difficulty attracting and accepting new farmers. Community-based farming is an important organization that sustains Japanese agriculture (Kusumoto 2010 ; Inoue et al 2016 ; Jin et al 2022 ). Community activities play an essential role in promoting farmland management policies and programs.…”

Pathways influencing bearers and abandoned farmlands through farmland intermediate management institutions: using prefectural data in Japan

2023

This study aimed to clarify relationships between regional factors and farmland utilization in the context of the current declining and aging population of Japan. We applied path analysis using prefectural data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries to investigate the effective ways of farmland use through farmland utilization programs such as the Farmland Intermediary Management Program as mediating influences based on prefectural regional characteristics. The main findings were as follows. First, the accumulated subleasing area through farmland intermediary management institutions had a positive impact on farmlands accumulated by bearers, but no effect on the restraint of increases in dilapidated farmland areas. Second, the accumulated subleasing area through farmland intermediary management institutions was an intermediate variable of regional factors and farmer- and rural community-related farmland utilization programs and affected farmland transfer to the bearers. Moreover, this study offers a novel approach by quantitatively examining relationships between community-based farming and farmland intermediary management institutions. Our findings also revealed that the corporatization of community-based farming organizations has a significant positive effect on the accumulated subleasing areas through farmland intermediary management institutions. Therefore, we consider community-based farming corporation transfers and the reorganization of farmland through farmland intermediary management institutions as a way to effectively use farmland and realize endogenous development within the community.

“…The paper concluded that the country could potentially make a larger share of ecotourism to the entire local tourism industry. Jin et al ( 2022 ) studied the role of local community power on green tourism in Japan. They concluded that the concept of agricultural village activity and regional support positively influences the development of green tourism in Japan as a developed economy.…”

Developing ecotourism services is a suitable solution to help developing countries improve the status of sustainable development indicators and protect their environment. The primary purpose of this paper is to find out the effects of green governance variables and carbon dioxide emissions on ecotourism for 40 developing economies from 2010 to 2021. The results confirmed a uni-directional causal relationship between the green governance indicator and the inflation rate of the ecotourism indicator. In addition, with a 1% improvement in the green governance index of developing countries, the ecotourism of these countries will increase by 0.43%. In comparison, with a 1% increase in the globalization index of these countries, ecotourism will increase by 0.32%. Moreover, ecotourism in developing countries is more sensitive to macroeconomic variables changes than in developed economies. Geopolitical risk is an influential factor in the developing process of ecotourism. The practical policies recommended by this research are developing the green financing market, establishing virtual tourism, granting green loans to small and medium enterprises, and government incentives to motivate active businesses.

“…Within the sustainable development paradigm framework, an apt strategy for developing a tourist village is the implementation of community-based tourism (Giampiccoli et al 2020;Manaf et al 2018;Demkova et al 2022). This strategy hinges on community empowerment, sustainability, conservation, and cultural enhancement, to improve the residents' livelihoods (Giampiccoli and Kalis 2012;Song et al 2021;Jin et al 2022). Community-based tourism strategies have been deployed for tourism development in several developing Asian countries (Rocharungsat 2008).…”

Understanding the Emergence of Rural Agrotourism: A Study of Influential Factors in Jambi Province, Indonesia

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This investigation delineates the multi-faceted determinants integral to the evolution of agrotourism within rural domains, concentrating on the province of Jambi as a case study. This scholarly inquiry engaged with four representative villages, utilizing primary data procured through focus group discussions (FGDs) and comprehensive interviews with various stakeholders. These encompass village administration, village-owned enterprises (BUMDes), youth organizations, the regional body for planning and development, the tourism office, community figureheads, village facilitators, commercial operators, and local community delegates. The analytical methodology incorporated the transcription of FGDs and comprehensive interviews, data distillation, analytical interpretation, and triangulation. The NVivo 11 Plus suite facilitated this qualitative data analysis. The investigation discerned six cardinal determinants that substantively influence the trajectory of agrotourism development within rural areas. These include the potential of nature tourism, the accessibility, and caliber of agro-products, the adequacy of infrastructure, the involvement and roles of community and institutional bodies, technological innovation, and the safeguarding of local cultural heritage. This scholarly inquiry underscores the necessity of a collaborative approach in formulating and implementing policies. This approach, which calls for the inclusion of diverse stakeholders, is aimed at bolstering the sustainable development of agrotourism.
