“…Regarding the methodology, the Chicago School of Qualitative Research served as a basis for field studies. Participants' comparative observations (direct and indirect) and qualitative interviews were used (Nash, 1981(Nash, , 2004Hammersley, Atkinson, 2000;Phillimore, Godson, 2004). Grounded Theory Methodology , 1994Babbie, 2003) was applied for analysis and interpretation.…”

Abstract. Ksours form a cultural landscape for most of the countries of North Africa. They are an important part of the cultural heritage of the desert areas in Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Mali or Morocco. They also become an undeniable attraction for tourism. The article looks at the impact of tourism on the transformation of ksours. It is based on comparative field research in the Dadès-Drâa Valley (Southern Morocco), the region of the highest ksour concentration. The results show that despite being very close to most sustainable tourism indicators, the whole impact of tourism is rather negative. Tourism is creating social disproportions, being the first incentive to abandon the ksours by those who are not involved in the sector. This is leading to the destruction of particular houses first, and later to the destruction of the whole village. The revitalization of ksours remains a theoretical solution only; thus the author suggests paying greater attention to social equity in order to stop the transformation of ksours at the 2 nd stage of development.Contents:

“…Even within the same country, national government bodies located in the centre of downtown have different cultural values from those of stakeholders living in suburbs or rural areas. When stakeholders come from different cultural backgrounds and are working together for community capacity building, it is likely that culture-related conflicts arise (Nash, 1981). In such situations, cultural brokers play an important role.…”

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.

“…A forma atual como o Turismo seria realizado implicaria mais em uma fuga e evasão do que a vontade e o interesse em conhecer outras culturas e sujeitos. Já Dennison Nash (1981) procura mostrar que há diferentes tipos de turistas, de turismos e de situações turísticas. Na verdade, da mesma forma que há vários tipos de turistas e turismos, temos uma gama ampla de interesses e olhares distintos por parte da população local em relação a ele.…”
