This paper focuses on an event, the World Alternative Games (WAG), as a site for the development and maintenance of community. The research shows how a rural community uses its own interpretation of space to create new activities, inspire collaborative development and promote tourism within a particular locale. Drawing upon ethnographic research undertaken at the third edition of the WAG in 2016, it provides a social constructivist account of community participation. Activities, interactions and symbolic connections occurring in the spaces of Britain's smallest town shed light on the processes through which a sense of rurality develops in relation to an out-of-the-ordinary use of the rural landscape.

本文着重于世界替代游戏（WAG）这一事件，作为社区发展和维护的场所。研究表明，农村社区如何利用自己对空间的理解来创造新的活动，激发合作发展并促进特定地区的旅游业。借鉴2016年第三版WAG进行的人种志研究，该报告提供了关于社区参与的社会建构主义观点。在英国最小的小镇的空间中发生的活动，互动和象征性联系揭示了与乡村景观的非常规使用有关的乡村意识的发展过程。
