ABSTRACT

The current study focused on the impact of policies adopted by rentier states on tourism plans and poverty reduction from the viewpoint of Stakeholders in rural areas of Turan National Park, Iran. A qualitative face-to-face interview were undertaken of 30 respondents through snow-ball sampling technique. Due to the geographical isolation of the area and traditional ways of living, the rural people there suffer from severe poverty. In recent years, the Iranian government has made efforts to reduce poverty through the development of tourism in these areas by means of mandatory plans and government budgets. The results showed that government-supported tourism has been able to reduce poverty to some extent, and it has increased opportunities, job skills and willingness of the poor to participate. However, the centralized administrative structure of Iran is in contrast with the participation and sharing of power to all groups, including the poor. Such a structure, indeed, is keen on implementing its plans in an imperative manner.

伊朗的旅游、减贫和食利者国家:图兰国家公园农村地区的视角

摘要

当前的研究从伊朗图兰国家公园农村地区利益相关者的角度关注食利者国家所采取的政策对旅游计划和减贫的影响。通过雪球抽样技术对 30 名受访者进行了定性的面对面访谈。由于该地区的地理隔离和传统生活方式,那里的农村人民遭受着严重的贫困。近年来,伊朗政府通过强制性计划和政府预算,努力通过在这些地区发展旅游业来减少贫困。结果表明,政府支持的旅游在一定程度上能够减少贫困,增加了贫困人口的机会、工作技能和参与意愿。然而,伊朗的中央行政结构与包括穷人在内的所有群体的参与和分享权力形成鲜明对比。事实上,这样的结构热衷于以势在必行的方式实施其计划。
