Sustainable Urban Tourism in Sub-Saharan Africa - Risk and Resilience: Llewellyn Leonard, Regis Musavengane, Pius Siakwah Sustainable Urban Tourism in Sub-Saharan Africa - Risk and Resilience
Llewellyn Leonard, Regis Musavengane, Pius Siakwah
R1,291 Discovery Miles 12 910 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book investigates urban tourism development in Sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting the challenges and risks involved, but also showcasing the potential benefits. Whilst much is written on Africa’s rural environments, little has been written about the tourism potential of the vast natural, cultural and historical resources in the continent’s urban areas. Yet these opportunities also come with considerable environmental, social and political challenges. This book interrogates the interactions between urban risks, tourism and sustainable development in Sub-Saharan African urban spaces. It addresses the underlying issues of governance, power, ownership, collaboration, justice, community empowerment and policies that influence tourism decision-making at local, national and regional levels. Interrogating the intricate relationships between tourism stakeholders, this book ultimately reflects on how urban risk can be mitigated, and how sustainable urban tourism can be harnessed for development. The important insights in this book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners across Tourism, Geography, Urban Development, and African Studies.

Conservation, Land Conflicts and Sustainable Tourism in Southern Africa - Contemporary Issues and Approaches (Hardcover): Regis... Conservation, Land Conflicts and Sustainable Tourism in Southern Africa - Contemporary Issues and Approaches (Hardcover)
Regis Musavengane, Llewellyn Leonard
R4,059 Discovery Miles 40 590 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book examines the nexus between conservation, land conflicts, and sustainable tourism approaches in Southern Africa, with a focus on equity, access, restitution, and redistribution. While Southern Africa is home to important biodiversity, pristine woodlands, and grasslands, and is a habitat for important wildlife species, it is also a land of contestations over its natural resources with a complex historical legacy and a wide variety of competing and conflicting issues surrounding race, cultural and traditional practices, and neoliberalism. Drawing on insights from conservation, environmental, and tourism experts, this volume presents the nexus between land conflicts and conservation in the region. The chapters reveal the hegemony of humans on land and associated resources including wildlife and minerals. By using social science approaches, the book unites environmental, scientific, social, and political issues, as it is imperative we understand the holistic nature of land conflicts in nature-based tourism. Discussing the management theories and approaches to community-based tourism in communities where there are or were land conflicts is critical to understanding the current state and future of tourism in African rural spaces. This volume determines the extent to which land reform impacts community-based tourism in Africa to develop resilient destination strategies and shares solutions to existing land conflicts to promote conservation and nature-based tourism. The book will be of great interest to students, academics, development experts, and policymakers in the field of conservation, tourism geography, sociology, development studies, land use, and environmental management and African studies.

Environmental Justice, Civil Society and Industrial Risks (Paperback): Llewellyn Leonard Environmental Justice, Civil Society and Industrial Risks (Paperback)
Llewellyn Leonard
R2,101 Discovery Miles 21 010 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book conceives of South African society as a risk society and seeks to map the extent to which civil society actors' champion environmental justice in an industrial risk society. It examines the role of civil society actors specifically in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, and their ability to perceive industrial risks and help push grassroots concerns in public policy and development processes in a state that has not completely undergone a movement into a post or late modern society. Under Apartheid government, the urban environment was a means for racist oppression with Blacks sharing their neighbourhoods with polluting industries. Under the new democratic government, little may have changed. Government has chosen to engage in a macroeconomic development model concentrated on expanding industrial modes of production. The logic of wealth production has dominated the logic of risk production contributing to increased industrial risks in society. Work includes empirical analysis to explore how civil society champions environmental justice, and will be valuable for those interested in knowing more about environmental justice, industrial risks, governance and development issues.
