Abstract
The littoral pleasure periphery (LPP) is a major and expanding spatial feature of Brazil that is dominated by almost 200 specialised coastal resorts, beachfront metropolises and beachfront cities. It is notable in an emerging economy context for the extent to which domestic forces have influenced its development, including not just favourable geographic features but patterns of historical settlement, modernisation processes, national culture, and geopolitical motivations. Reflecting Brazil's economic and social dualities, the LPP exhibits two distinct models. The southern LPP, like counterparts in the more developed world, is long-established and displays an “organic” growth trajectory. The northern LPP is a hybrid of “organic” and “induced” impulses exhibiting more rapid and largely planned growth manifested in low density development. Despite efforts of a multi-partner regional tourism initiative – the Programa de Desenvolvimento do Turismo (PRODETUR) – to facilitate economic and social equity through targeted tourism investment, the northern LPP resembles classic Third World LPPs where mainly “non-white” local residents are often displaced by coastal development involving “white” investors and tourists. Unsustainable tourism outcomes are therefore indicated in both components of the Brazilian LPP and minimal progression toward an enlightened mass tourism ideal.
‘我循环，我灌关灯’：理解背包客的日常可持续实践
随着节假日在越来越多人的日常生活中出现的更加频繁，旅游业的可持续发展问题变得更加紧迫。通过运用日常实践的概念，这个混合方法研究致力于理解可持续发展性数据在背包客的实践中是怎么样的。日常可持续是指可持续出现在人们日常生活的例程中。发现表明大多数背包客基本不考虑可持续性，但是却无意地在一定程度上表现了出来。环境可持续通过减少资源消费和浪费被实践，经济可持续通过工作和花比其他游客更多的钱来实现，社会可持续通过表现文化尊重和社会参与来实现。鼓励背包客实践可持续的主要因素是他们对预算的低关注度以及在可以在行业要求短期和灵活的员工时作为劳动力资源。当背包客们被雇佣时，可持续的各个层面被加强。通常的观念认为在旅游中规范的可持续行为会暂停。但是这个研究的结果与传统观念正相反。因为相比较在家里，背包旅行被发现为更多的可持续实践提供了机会。关
