Sustainable development in karst areas should be adapted to its specificities and take into account its vulnerability. The assessment of the development potential and management of karst areas is of ...great importance in Slovenia. This book presents the analyses of the impact of landscape features on the land use and sustainable development in a marginal Slovenian karst landscape ‒ Bela krajina. In order to draw attention to the combination of social perspectives with natural conditions for an integrative view of the karst landscapes, three approaches were used: 1. assessment of the degree of human disturbance to the karst landscape, 2. analyses of land use dynamics, and 3. quantitative and qualitative analyses of the sustainable development of Bela krajina. Karst landscape features affect sustainable development of the study region both positively and negatively. According to local stakeholders the positive effects are mainly connected with tourism, and the negative effects are mainly connected with hampered agriculture. The main message is that karst landscape features should not only be seen as limiting factors, but also for their development potential.

Članek obravnava pozitivni odnos Tolmincev do mednarodnega festivala Metal Camp v Tolminu. Ta odnos je mogoče interpretirati z upoštevanjem marginalizacije območja (tudi zaradi izseljevanja). ...Festival operacionalizira turistično konstrukcijo območja, v kraj pripelje množice in kraj postavlja v središče določene predstavne geografije. Z njim domačini postanejo ponosni domačini. Predlagan je koncept »geografije marginalnosti«, v katerem je zaobjet tako emski občutek umeščenosti na obrobje kot s tem povezana produkcija geografskih imaginarijev, ki obstoječa geografska razmerja simbolno rekonstruira in redefinira.
Koprsko primorje je najbolj obiskano turistično območje v Sloveniji. Velik turistični obisk vpliva tudi na značilnosti prometa na tem območju. Analiza podatkov o dnevnem številu vozil za števna mesta ...prometa na tem območju je pokazala, da so spremembe v obsegu prometa v veliki meri povezane z razpoložljivostjo prostega časa in vremenom. Kljub temu so glede intenzivnosti in opaznosti tovrstnih vplivov znotraj območja precejšnje razlike, saj se na njem prepletajo vplivi turizma, drugih gospodarskih dejavnosti in lokalnega prebivalstva.

Indigenous groups that made full contact with Western culture relatively recently (almost sixty years ago in the case of Huaorani) are targeted by Western tourists looking for “exotic” people and ...places. Huaorani people’s image fits into this category and it can be found in various media. Huaorani have quickly adapted to increasing numbers of tourists and their needs: they sell handicrafts, found their own tourist agencies, build “jungle lodges” in the tropical forest and become licensed tourist guides. This paper focuses on the image of the Huaorani created by various media, on tourists expectations, their fulfillment by the local people as well as tourist services provided by inhabitants of one remote Huaorani settlement.
Recent trends in China’s domestic tourism development offer possibilities for the democratisation of the ways that places and people are represented and understood. This study offers a timely ...intervention for understanding the change in China’s ideologically charged tourism representations as affected by the growth of domestic travel. The central topics are the creation and production of places of tourism in two ethnic minority rural villages. The analysis on the promotional outputs of both villages across various media defines tourism as a discourse of difference and indicates that tourism is utilised by the Chinese government as an ideological tool to locate and define minority ethnicity. The study aims to determine how China’s ethnic places are produced and their effect on the social and institutional relations in a contemporary nation that is stratified upon rural and ethnic binaries of difference.

Dunaj in Praga sta pomembna srednjeevropska turistična kraja, ki ju je v letu 2011 obiskalo enako število tujih turistov. Čeprav sta mesti približno enako veliki in imata podobno kulturno turistično ...ponudbo, se močno razlikujeta po prostorski razporeditvi turistov in njihovi rabi prostora. Mestno središče Prage je znano po zastojih, prenapolnjenosti in enofunkcijski rabi, medtem ko središče Dunaja obišče podobno število gostov, vendar si pri tem lokalne funkcije in turizem ne nasprotujejo. Na podlagi podatkov, pridobljenih s pomočjo geografsko označenih fotografij obeh mest, ki so bile objavljene na spletnih straneh za izmenjavo fotografij, smo izdelali grafa prostorske razporeditve turističnih znamenitosti in poti. Z analizo teh primerljivih grafov smo lahko pojasnili razlike v turističnih sistemih obeh mest, ki so povezane predvsem z njuno morfološko zgradbo in različnimi pristopi k razvoju mestnega turizma v preteklem desetletju.
Vse toplejše zime so smučišče Španov vrh nad Jesenicami pahnile v nazadovanje in zimski turizem na Planini pod Golico na rob propada. Pri morebitnem oživljanju zimskega turizma se v luči novih ...podnebnih razmer postavlja vprašanje smotrnosti vlaganja v klasični zimski turizem. Prispevek analizira trende temperature zraka v zimskih mesecih in trende snežne odeje na Planini pod Golico z namenom ugotoviti smiselnost razvoja zimskega turizma. V sklepnem delu so navedeni predlogi za novo, trajnostno obliko turistične ponudbe na Planini pod Golico na osnovi lokalnih potencialov.
