Publication Year: 2017

Publication Type: Article

Publication Identifier: WHED4093EB7D0

Summary

Tourism-driven commercialization in China's historical areas, including UNESCO World Heritage Site Kulangsu, has led to significant population displacement, where original residents are displaced by non-native populations. This phenomenon erodes traditional culture and threatens sustainable development. The study identifies the root causes of this displacement, its patterns, and its broader impacts on cultural preservation. By analyzing population dynamics in Kulangsu, the research provides actionable recommendations for mitigating these effects and ensuring the site's long-term viability.
