Research On The Local Integration Of Tourist Labor Immigration In Lijiang

In modern society,because of the existence of knowledge reflexivity,the construction of any form of meaning and identity is at an unstable level.Therefore,for many people,the life they feel loses "certainty" and "authenticity",creating a "local emptiness".At the same time,the spatial forces accompanied by homogenization,delocalization,and non-localization in the process of globalization are continuously dispelling the local roots of meaning and identity,constantly impacting the interaction and integration between individual and place,and further deepening self-perceived"local emptiness" creates a crisis of identity.As a result,starting from the micro perspective of individual local roots and identity,or from the macro perspectives of local governance and national governance,it is necessary to start with individual and cut"into place theory to analyze how individuals have achieved their place rooted in the impact of modernity,and how to achieve the place recognition and place integration in the context of the continuous strengthening of the globalization trend.Therefore,starting from the micro-perspective of individual local roots and identity,or from the macro perspective of local governance and national governance,it is necessary to start with individuals and cut into local theory to analyze how individuals realize human-place interaction and how to achieve local identity and integration.Therefore,the study focuses on Lijiang old town as a case study,and takes the tourism labor migration as the research object,focusing on the following issues:Why does tourism labor migration choose Lijiang old town in many tourism communities?Why does tourism labor migration choose to stay in Lijiang old town for a long time?After coming to Lijiang old town,how does tourism labor migration achieve interaction between human and place?How to understand the individual local integration process?What kind of structure does place integration mainly present,and how does it manifest in the individual’s interaction with place?Relying on "Study on place integration of tourism immigrants in ethnic and religious communities in the typical cities of western China" of national natural science foundation of China,the author has previously combed the relevant local theories,and identified the study case—Lijiang old town,the study object—tourism labor migration,the focal point of the study—place integration,making field survey for a period of one and a half months in Lijiang old town.In the process of field survey,the author mainly selected tourism labor migration living in Lijiang old town more than three months,and conducted an in-depth interview for about one hour,focusing on the analysis and study of place integration of tourism labor migration in Lijiang old town.The research process and technical route are as follows:Firstly,the concept and structure of space,place,and place integration are analyzed and discussed on the basis of extensive literature analysis.Secondly,the study taked tourism labor migration as the research object,used place integration as the subject,understanding place integration of tourism labor migration through in-depth interviews;Thirdly,the study analyzed place integration of tourism labor migration in Lijiang old town through the qualitative analysis method.Finally,the study constructed a process model of place integration for tourism labor migration through the rooted analysis results.Through the analytical approach of "deconstruction-construction-reconstruction",the specific conclusions are as follows:(1)Through the deconstruction analysis,it is clear that tourism labor migration have a spatial cognition process for Lijiang old town before entering Lijiang.The process mainly composed of subjective ideas driven,local image recognition,humanistic atmosphere attraction,local imagination extension,the evasion of the expectations,systematically summarizes the spatial awareness and place expectation of tourism labor migration before entering Lijiang old town.(2)Through the construction analysis,and focusing on text analysis,it has been found that there are two main processes for place integration of tourism labor migration.On the one hand,the previous spatial cognition is mainly divided into three main dimensions(production space,living space,emotional space)and six secondary dimensions(comparative,practical,external,internal,realistic feeling,expecting behavior);on the other hand,the later experiences in the field are mainly divided into three major dimensions(production place,living place,emotional place)and six minor dimensions(production conditions,self-efficacy,material life,spiritual life,homeland identity,and new place identity),which initially explain the spatial cognition is the former causes of place integration of tourism labor migration and place experience are accompanied by the process and results of place integration of tourism labor migration.(3)Through the reconstruction analysis,further docking with the theory,and focusing on the interpretation and decomposition of place integration of tourism labor migration,it is clear that spatial cognition is the former cause of place integration of tourism labor migration,and the identity and perception of production place is the possibility of place integration of tourism labor migration,making tourism labor migration depend on place.The identity and perception of the place of life is the basis for place integration of tourism labor migration,and it is the two-way identification of tourism labor migration that further categorizes place at the spiritual level.And the identity and perception of the emotional place(homeland identity,new place identity)enable place integration of tourism labor migration.The study takes Lijiang ethnic tourism community as a case study,and tourism labor migration as a research object.Through the logic of"deconstruction-construction-reconstruction",the author analyzes place integration process and structure of tourism labor migration in Lijiang old town.The initial innovation is as follows.Theoretically:(1)The conceptual definition and structural division of local integration have been initially carried out.(2)To propose a process model for place integration of tourism labor migration in Lijiang old town,namely"production-slow life-identity".In practice:(1)To help individuals in the context of mobility to effectively identify themselves and place,establish correct place cognition and place perception,and effectively achieve interaction between human and place,and provide theoretical references for local integration.(2)To provide a new way of thinking for ethnic tourism communities to effectively coordinate the relations among local residents,foreign operators and tourists,optimize community management and governance models,and promote the sustainable development of ethnic tourism communities.
