Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS TO DELVE INTO CONCEPTS AND METHODOLOGICAL TOOLS USEFUL FOR UNDERSTANDING AND CRITICALLY INTERPRETING THE COMPLEX INTERACTION BETWEEN TOURISM AND TERRITORY, ACCORDING TO THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM. HOW DO TOURISM PRACTICES USE, CREATE, AND TRANSFORM PLACES? WHAT IMPACTS DO THEY HAVE ON THE TERRITORY? HOW TO ACTIVATE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES THAT ENHANCE TERRITORIAL CAPITAL? THE TOPICS ADDRESSED WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY CASE STUDIES AIMED AT HIGHLIGHTING THE SPECIFIC CONTRIBUTION THAT GEOGRAPHY CAN OFFER TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF TERRITORIES AND, IN PERSPECTIVE, TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF PLACE-BASED POLICIES. SPECIAL ATTENTION WILL BE GIVEN TO THE TOURISM-CULTURAL HERITAGE RELATIONSHIP AND TO THE TOOLS THAT CAN BE USED TO IDENTIFY THE REAL POTENTIAL OF PLACES IN TERMS OF MATERIAL AND SYMBOLIC-CULTURAL VALUE.
AT THE END OF THE COURSE, STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE ACQUIRED A SET OF KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS USEFUL FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE TERRITORIAL DIMENSION OF TOURISM PROCESSES AND ORGANIZATIONAL LOGICS. ADDITIONALLY, STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRODUCE CONTEXTUAL ANALYSES AIMED AT DESCRIBING AND REPRESENTING LOCAL TERRITORIAL CAPITAL AND ITS TOURISM POTENTIAL; SELECT AND APPLY GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS METHODS TO LOCAL TOURISM SUPPLY SYSTEMS; DEVELOP CASE STUDIES AND PREPARE REPORTS ON VARIOUS TYPES OF TOURISM AND/OR TERRITORIAL CONTEXTS FROM A SUSTAINABILITY PERSPECTIVE; CRITICALLY INTERPRET TERRITORIALIZATION PROCESSES INDUCED BY TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AND PROPOSE ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO ACTIVATE SUSTAINABLE TOURISM PRACTICES; COMMUNICATE AND ARGUE THE TOPICS IN A CLEAR AND COMPREHENSIVE MANNER.
