“…However, many rural vitality index systems only take into account economic, demographic, and social-cultural factors, as well as other factors related to development [33], while do not directly consider factors related to the preservation. Meanwhile, other index systems, such as 'social and cultural vitality indicators' [47] and 'cultural heritage vitality indicators' [48], are inadequate in representing the variations in cultural heritage preservation and rural construction and development capabilities. This is the primary cause of regional disparities in rural vitality levels.…”

Traditional villages constitute a significant component of China's rural heritage. In the context of national efforts to achieve sustainable rural revitalisation, there is a lack of comprehensive assessments of rural vitality that can evaluate the balance between the competing demands of heritage conservation and rural development. This study aims to address the gap by defining an evaluation index system, Rural Vitality Assessment (RVA), which comprehensively assesses both protective and developmental aspects while taking into account natural and cultural ecological factors. The study utilizes data from a total of 206 traditional villages located in Hebei Province and employs a model to classify and analyze both subjective evaluations collected by interview and questionnaire alongside objective data. The framework employed a combined weighting method to determine appropriate indicator weights, thus facilitating quantitative evaluation of the data obtained. The study shows that over 90% of traditional villages in Hebei Province exhibit an imbalance between protection and development, which could lead to gradual deactivation. Additionally, the spatial distribution of RVA outcomes shows polarization, with higher levels observed in the north and lower levels in the south. The study concludes that the RVA framework is an effective tool for analysing the vitality level, spatial distribution, and disadvantage indicators of villages at different zoning levels. The results can provide a reference for the formulation of targeted heritage protection and development planning strategies and further aid in the rational allocation of resources, helping to narrow the development gap between urban and rural areas.

“…At the same time, the protection of traditional rural landscapes is not only affected by exogenous driving factors such as top-down policies and tourism, but also by endogenous driving factors originating from rural social and cultural backgrounds, including social and cultural vitality. There is a strong positive correlation with the integrity of traditional rural landscapes; compared with exogenous driving factors (top-down regulatory policies and tourism development), endogenous driving factors (i.e., the connection between people and the environment) have a greater impact on residents' commitment to the protection of traditional rural landscapes, and cognition, intention, and behavior have a more pervasive and positive impact [42].…”

Rural landscapes serve as important platforms to determine the landscape characteristics (LCs) of rural areas, demonstrating the landscape characteristics specific to certain regions to the public. However, the development trend of urban and rural areas is continuous and impacts the characteristics of rural landscapes, which directly affects the public’s visual experience and landscape perception. In order to improve the characteristics of rural landscapes, this study evaluates and analyzes their visual quality based on public preferences and eye movement heat maps. The results show that most subjects have a high preference for horizontal, open-view rural landscapes with fields and landform features as the dominant landscape elements. This study also found that the combination of strip-like or planar settlement buildings with regional characteristics and landform features has an active impact on the visual quality of rural landscapes. These results show that rural landscapes characterized by scattered settlement buildings without significant regional characteristics, horizontally curved roads, bridges, and other human-made landscape elements, and mixed and disorderly vegetation have low landscape preference, which degrades their visual quality. These research results provide crucial suggestions for landscape managers to protect and renew rural landscape features.

“…In an evolved and changing society, internal resource issues pose the greatest obstacles, whereas the promotion of a rural destination presents external obstacles (Rosalina et al, 2021). In promoting traditional rural tourism, there needs to be community strength, in addition to the need to increase the internal capacity of the countryside and opportunities for a more inclusive development strategy for the future conservation of rural tourism; policymaking; and rural tourism development (Jia et al, 2020). Research Saarinen et al (2020) explains that the absence of local benefits and participation in tourist development restricts the capacity of tourism to be developed for the achievement of sustainable local development.…”

Using a literature review methodology, this research investigates the correlation of community-based tourism (CBT) with sustainable development to improve community welfare with a literature review approach. The results in this study are based on previous studies that discuss related topics to the topic being studied. The study showed a correlation between community-based tourism and sustainable development to improve community welfare. The CBT model has a positive effect on managing and empowering local communities while still paying attention to the potential of natural resources, the skills of local communities, the socioeconomic and cultural communities of local communities, and the preservation of the environment to stay sustainable. Applying the CBT model to manage tourism areas is very effective because all activities involve the community in planning, management, and development while still paying attention to local cultural aspects. Tourism policy-makers and those in control of tourist sites should be able to develop and implement a community-based tourism model in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Thus, directly and indirectly, community-based tourism changes people's perceptions by increasing community participation in tourism activities and increasing the value of people who carry out tourism activities, with implications for improving welfare.
