Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Resident Perceptions of the Sociocultural Impacts of Tourism in Llangollen, North-east Wales. PETER A. WHALLEY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy With the collaboration of the European Centre for Traditional and Regional Cultures November 2000 ABSTRACT Taking as its starting point the need to better understand the relationship between tourism and culture in a western European context, this research develops and applies a conceptual framework and methodology to evaluate the attitudes among residents of a tourist receiving community to the sociocultural impacts of tourism. To this end, a case study approach is used to evaluate the attitudes of the residents of Llangollen, a small market town in North-east Wales, to the sociocultural impacts of tourism on their town and way of life. As host to the annual Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, and as a popular destination for day visitors and longer stay tourists alike, the community of Llangollen is a mature tourist destination possessing a wide range of tourist and cultural facilities. The study examines a range of appropriate literature and develops a conceptual framework around three key theories: the notion of resident 'coping strategies' to deal with the impacts of tourism, the sociological principle of social exchange theory and the social-psychological theory of social representations, with the latter being central to the study's methodology. There were three elements to the field work. Firstly, preliminary sensitising interviews were carried out in order to highlight key areas of local concern, and to inform the design of the survey work. Secondly, a questionnaire survey was undertaken of the residents of Llangollen, which was then interpreted using two different methods of respondent segmentation and using an assessment of the difference between groups. Finally, focus group discussions were carried out in the town in order to assist in the interpretation of the questionnaire findings and also to provide a systematically-derived set of qualitative data in order to assess the relative merits of taking different methodological approaches to the research. The findings of the research show that the community of Llangollen is generally positive about the impacts of tourism, with the role of the International Eisteddfod being pivotal in cultural terms. The three different approaches to the analysis of the impacts of tourism in Llangollen provided different perspectives and insights. The multivariate technique of cluster analysis gave the clearest picture from the questionnaire of resident perceptions of the cultural impacts of tourism, whereas an equity-based approach gave more indication of exchange processes at work in the community. The use of focus group discussions proved to be by far the most valuable in terms of drawing out not only what were the attitudes of residents, but also how and why such attitudes had come about in the first place. Most importantly, this research has made much clearer the political, economic and cultural contexts within which the residents of Llangollen perceive the impacts of tourism, and how it is these contexts which are influential in the attitudes taken to the impacts of tourism on the community, on groups in the community, and on the individual members of the community. The research also suggests there is a need for tourism research to move away from its traditional reliance on the questionnaire survey, and the search for statistically significant but perhaps socially irrelevant groups. It is suggested that further use of focus group discussions may help to more fully understand the relationships between tourism and culture within local communities. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I would like to thank my family and friends who have offered both moral and, at times, physical support during the completion of this thesis, and who have provided me with a life outside of the confines of academic inquiry. I am most greatly indebted to my director of studies, Dr Bill Bramwell, whose caring support and advice has been invaluable, and whose enthusiasm has helped to see me through some lengthy periods of drought in the process of this research. I would also like to most sincerely thank Ms Elspeth Fyfe, without whom I would never have embarked on this journey, and whose gentle encouragement and friendship have been invaluable to me over the past few years. Thanks are also due to all of my colleagues in the Centre for Tourism, and to Professor Chris Gratton and to Mrs Louise Dungworth and Ms Elizabeth Watts for allowing me the necessary space to see this thesis to completion. Finally, I would like to dedicate this thesis to the memory of my father, Christopher, and of my grandfather, Peter. I know they would have been proud.

  • The Upper Ceiriog Trail (Directions & Map)
    The Upper Ceiriog Trail Route Description Explained in an anticlockwise direction starting at Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog. Grid Reference SJ 157 328 (Lat 52.886482 Long -3.253547). All distances and heights are approximate. Assuming a start from Llanarmon DC, take the road heading south out of the village with The Hand Hotel on the left. Follow road uphill for 1 mile (1.5 km). Shortly before you reach a road junction with white railings, turn left through a gate into a field. Follow track for 2 miles (3 km) to cross tracks. There are a few deep ruts, take care! At cross tracks, carry straight on gently downhill to gate onto tarmac road. (Take care when coming out onto road as there is a blind bend to your left). After passing through gate, turn right and follow tarmac road for 1/3 mile (550 m). As road bears to the right, take turning on left. Almost immediately, turn right uphill following another tarmac road. After 1/2 mile (810 m), the road starts to bear left. As it straightens out, turn sharply right passing Cefn-y-braich-uchaf Farm. (Warning: At second hen house is a feed silo that could start up without notice and could startle your horse). At fork, take left track going uphill. Follow track for 1/2 mile (810 m) to gate into open field. (Here you meet The Ceiriog Trail coming in from the other direction). Take the grass track diagonally across the field marked with reflector posts. 55 yds (50 m) before gate onto tarmac road, turn left onto the stony track.

  • Reading Wales in WG Sebald's Austerlitz
    On (Not) Reading Wales in W. G. Sebald’s Austerlitz (2001) Mererid Puw Davies, University College London This article explores representations of Wales in W. G. Sebald’s novel Austerlitz (2001). It considers why the novel’s passages on Wales have often evaded scholarship on Sebald’s writing to date, and ways in which Austerlitz may seem eccentric to Welsh critical canons too. The article places Austerlitz in intertextual relationships with the literatures and cultural history of Wales and so uncovers some of the novel’s hidden Welsh references. In alluding to Evan Morgan, 2nd Viscount Tredegar for example, Austerlitz simultaneously turns away from Welsh history and reveals it in unexpected ways. The novella also calls to mind the nineteenth- century preacher John Elias in a way which offers an unusual perspective on Sebald’s poetics of coincidence. The article suggests alternative critical contexts in which Sebald’s Wales becomes productively legible; put most globally, it is interested in the practice and rewards of non-metropolitan reading, relationships between the supposed centres and margins of literature and the ways in which they remain in perpetual (re-)negotiation. Keywords: Sebald, Austerlitz, Wales, Welsh, Gothic, Evan Morgan, John Elias, intertextuality, birds, names, uncanny, coincidence, reservoirs, non-metropolitan, Tryweryn, Vyrnwy 1 Introduction The last of W. G. Sebald’s (1944–2001) major works to be published during his lifetime was the long literary prose work Austerlitz (2001), in which a first-person narrator reports what the eponymous protagonist tells him of his life, in conversations spanning decades.1 Jacques Austerlitz came to Britain from Nazi-occupied Prague on a Kindertransport in 1939, aged four- and-a-half.

    Project report: Teithwyr Ewropeaidd i Gymru, 1750–2010/ European Travellers to Wales, 1750–2010 Rita Singer School of Modern Languages, Bangor University, Bangor, UK ABSTRACT For centuries, continental Europeans have come to Wales for numerous reasons. During the Romantic period some came seeking a rural idyll, whilst others in the Victorian era travelled as industrial spies, and during times of war many refugees escaped to Wales to find shelter from persecution. Not only have continental Europeans left their traces among the people of Wales settling here but they have also written extensively about their experiences in diaries, letters, books and magazines or novels. This project report showcases some of the recent findings from the AHRC- funded project ‘European Travellers to Wales, 1750–2010’ jointly undertaken by Bangor University, the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies at Aberystwyth, and Swansea University. For centuries, continental Europeans have come to Wales for numerous reasons. During the Romantic period some arrived seeking a rural idyll, whilst others in the Victorian era travelled as industrial spies, and during times of war many refugees escaped to Wales to find shelter from persecution. Not only have continental Europeans left their traces among the people of Wales by way of immigration, but they have also written extensively about their travel experience in diaries, letters, books and magazines or, more recently, in blogs on the internet. Remarks on the nature of travelling in a foreign country, its people, the weather, town and country life, industrial enterprise, social endeavours or encounters with unfamiliar food are only a few of the topics found in these texts.
