  • Upper Rangit Basin : Human Ecology of Eco-Tourism 259
    CHAPTER~6 UPPER RANGIT BASIN : HUMAN ECOLOGY OF ECO-TOURISM 259 SECTION I INTRODUCTION AND CONCEPTUAL ASPECTS Mental attitudes differ from person to person, so do human wishes. Motivation for travel will also differ' from individual to individual. Nevertheless, an attempt can always be made to classify human motives for travel :- (a) Rest and Relaxation. When the humans work in a society oftension we want to get away from it, and seek physical and mental relaxation elsewhere, though temporarily. (b) Educational and Cultural. Humans wish to see the way of life of other people, to study the beautiful natural sights of other countries; to acquire better knowledge and background of people living there, to visit cultural, scientific, technical and- spiritual institutions of learning in other places, and to appreciate •. art, music, literature and cultural heritage of other societies. (c) · Social and Historical. Some are keen to visit historical sights in order to participate in history and better appreciate historical events, to gain new experiences by meeting new people, and to create personal esteem. (d) Health and Sports. Another group may like to visit health centres and mountain resorts, to enjoy salubrious weather, to take part in sports or to join mountaineering expeditions. (e) Recreational Activities. Activities such as swimming, trekking or hiking may be the pull factors for many. Depending on choice and economical factors, tourism is sub divided into three categories - domestic, regional and international. Both, in terms of volume and also in terms of receipts, domestic tourism far exceeds the other two types. Regional tourism is much higher than international tourism in the case of both the variables.(Mridula and Datt, 1991)(1).

This study aims to apply this model to examine the development of Yuksom Gram Panchayat Unit (GPU) of West district of Sikkim, India. To accomplish this analysis, internal factor evaluation (IFE) matrix and external factor evaluation matrix (EFE) were prepared to identify the critical and less important factors for development. Finally, a framework for strategy has been formulated by linking ‘strength- opportunity’ (SO) and ‘weakness-threat’ (WT) aspects. Results show mountain environment sustainability as the most agreed one (SO) and on the other hand, implementation of ‘land bank scheme’ and microfinance (WT) as the alternate planning strategies for the development of the Yuksom area.

  • Sikkim (Lepcha: Mayel Lyang; Limbu: Yuksom, One of the Fortified Place;[1
    Sikkim (Lepcha: Mayel Lyang; Limbu: Yuksom, one of the fortified place;[1] Standard Tibetan: Tibetan: , bras ljongs; Denzong;[2] Demojongs; Nepali: འབས་ལོངས་ िसिकम (help·info), i.e. the Goodly Region, or Shikim, Shikimpati or Sikkim of the English and Indians…[3]) is a landlocked Indian state nestled in the Himalayas. This thumb-shaped state borders Nepal in the west, the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China to the north and the east and Bhutan in the southeast. The Indian state of West Bengal borders Sikkim to its south.[4] With just slightly over 500,000 permanent residents, Sikkim is the least populous state in India and the second-smallest state after Goa.[5] Despite its small area of 7,096 km2 (2,740 sq mi), Sikkim is geographically diverse due to its location in the Himalayas. The climate ranges from subtropical to high alpine. Kangchenjunga, the world's third-highest peak, is located on the border of Sikkim with Nepal.[6] Sikkim is a popular tourist destination owing to its culture, scenic beauty and biodiversity. Legend has it that the Buddhist saint Guru Rinpoche visited Sikkim in the 9th century, introduced Buddhism and foretold the era of the monarchy. Indeed, the Namgyal dynasty was established in 1642. Over the next 150 years, the kingdom witnessed frequent raids and territorial losses to Nepalese invaders. It allied itself with the British rulers of India but was soon annexed by them. Later, Sikkim became a British protectorate and merged with India following a referendum in 1975. Sikkim has 11 official languages: Nepali (lingua franca), Bhutia, Lepcha (since 1977), Limbu (since 1981), Newari, Rai, Gurung, Mangar, Sherpa, Tamang (since 1995) and Sunwar (since 1996).[7] English is taught at schools and used in government documents.

  • RESEARCH OPEN ACCESS Economy and Social Development of Rural Sikkim
    Chakraborty and Chakma. Space and Culture, India 2016, 4:2 Page | 61 DOI: 10.20896/saci.v%vi%i.198 RESEARCH OPEN ACCESS Economy and Social Development of Rural Sikkim Sushmita Chakraborty†* and Namita ChakmaῙ Abstract The tiny Himalayan state of Sikkim is well known for its multi-cultural and multi-ethnic identity. There is a political and historical debate regarding the identity of communities in Sikkim. Lepchas are considered as original inhabitants of Sikkim. Currently, Lepcha, Bhutia and Limbu are recognised as minor communities and have Schedule Tribes (ST) status in the state. Individual community concentration is mainly found in North and West Sikkim. Lepcha-Bhutias are found mainly in North Sikkim whereas Limbus are concentrated in West Sikkim. Community concentration is profound in rural areas. Gyalshing sub-division of West Sikkim has been selected for the present study. Purpose of this study is to investigate the Gram Panchayat Unit (GPU) level economy and social development of the rural areas based mainly on secondary sources of information. A field survey was also conducted to interact with the local people. Findings suggest that education and population density are the key determinants for GPU level disparity in social development of the study area. It has been found that the economy is primarily agriculture based and fully organised by organic farming system. Recently, homestay (eco)tourism business has been started here like other parts of Sikkim. Key words: Himalaya, indigenous community, rural economy, organic farming, homestay (eco) tourism, social development, Sikkim, India †Research Scholar, Department of Geography, The University of Burdwan, Barddhaman, West Bengal, India, Email: [email protected] *Corresponding Author Ῑ Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, The University of Burdwan, Barddhaman, West Bengal, India, E-mail: [email protected] © 2016 Chakraborty and Chakma.
