  • Mental Mapping and Heritage Visitors' Spatial Perceptions
    Mental Mapping and Heritage Visitors’ Spatial Perceptions Visitors’ activities tend to be spatially oriented in destinations. Mental mapping is a useful method for revealing how visitors spatially perceive tourism destinations. However, studies of this kind are under-researched in the tourism field. Therefore, this study investigates the ways in which visitors spatially perceive the World Heritage Sites (WHSs) of Macau through the use of mental maps drawn by a sample of 400 respondents. Comparisons of the mental maps revealed that respondents possessed a relatively limited spatial knowledge of the WHSs, and this recognition varied according to the gender, place of origin, travel mode, type of trip, social interaction with local people, and length of stay. While the real life world of visitors was identified by mental mapping approach, some suggestions for formulating strategies is provided. Keywords: mental map; perception; spatial distortion; direction, location; World Heritage Sites of Macau Introduction A questionnaire-based quantitative approach tends to provide a limited understanding of visitors’ real life experiences in tourism destinations because of pre-set nature of questions designed by the researchers, which often restricts respondents’ freedom of expression (Becken, 2007; Batra, 2008; Wichasin, 2011; Yankholmes & Akyeampong, 2010). According to Young (1999), through mental mapping approach respondents can reveal their experiences, preferences, desires and knowledge without any restrictions, and without being led by the intentions of the researchers. Thereby, the limitations of questionnaire-based surveys might be overcome by the mental mapping approach. 1 Mental maps, as Jansen (2011) mentioned, can reveal the interaction between an individual and the surrounding environment, and are used for comparing, analysing, displaying and eliciting mental models, providing many interpretations of people’s spatial perceptions (Eden, 2004), giving respondents a chance to express themselves freely.

  • Title Visitor Attraction Management: a Critical Review of Research 2009-2014 1. Introduction 1.1 Focus and Structure of the Ar
    Title Visitor Attraction Management: A critical review of research 2009-2014 1. Introduction 1.1 Focus and structure of the article Visitor attractions (VAs) are recognised as an under-researched field of study within the tourism system (Weidenfeld, Butler & Williams, 2010; Leask, 2010; Connell, Page & Meyer, 2014). The value of VAs individually and within destinations is clearly observed in government national outcomes, key assets for tourism strategies and destination development proposals. Research is often management orientated and applied in nature. This is a valid area of research due to the significance of the role of VAs within a destination, with recent expansion in the volume and range of the relevant literature, increasing opportunities for sub and cross disciplinary research created by globalisation and technological advances, and the increased volume of tourism contexts for PhD study. Leask (2010) provided a critical review of the literature relating to visitor attraction (VA) management prior to 2009 and identified limitations in the existing academic research and the key challenges facing both VA practitioners and academics researching in the sector. The key findings of Leask (2010) were that academic research in the area of visitor attractions was evident and that the individual nature of VAs and multiple stakeholders, with resultant multiple measures of effectiveness and objectives, had led to development of research across a broad range of disciplines and fields of study. Whilst positive in some respects, this had led to a lack of quality research specifically within the tourism literature, and a heavy reliance on case study based research of a qualitative nature. The agenda for research concluding the article called for the development of “robust methodologies and research methods and the development of an integrated community of scholars with sustained interest in the sector (Leask, 2010:163)”.

A key theme for Macau in the last ten years has been how the tension between the proponents for greater casino development versus those for cultural heritage product development has played out in government policies for heritage management, private sector tourism development and host community concerns about heritage protection and achieving quality tourism.

  • A Relational Geography of Heritage in Post-1997 Hong Kong
    A RELATIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF HERITAGE IN POST-1997 HONG KONG by Lachlan Barber B.A., The University of King’s College, 2004 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2014 © Lachlan Barber, 2014 Abstract The central question of this dissertation is: what can Hong Kong teach us about the geography of heritage? The study considers the discursive transformation of cultural heritage as a feature of Hong Kong’s transition since the 1997 retrocession to Chinese sovereignty. Specifically, it traces the contradictory growth of interest in heritage as an urban amenity on the part of the government, and its simultaneous framing as a socio-political critique of neoliberal governance on the part of actors in civil society. The study analyses these dynamics from a perspective attentive to the relationships – forged through various forms of mobility and comparison – between Hong Kong and other places including mainland China, Great Britain, and urban competitors. The project relies on data gathered through English-language research conducted over a period of two and a half years. Sixty in-depth interviews were carried out with experts, activists, professionals and politicians in Hong Kong. Extensive surveys of government documents, the print and online media, and archival materials were undertaken. Other methods employed include site visits and participant observation. The methodology was oriented around the analysis of processes of heritage policy and contestation over a number of sites in Central, Hong Kong and surrounding districts where contradictory visions of the meaning of heritage have played out materially.
