De la comunidad a la cooperativa y viceversa: Continuidades, rupturas o transiciones en proyectos de turismo de base comunitario en México
The classical questioning of the articulation between «community» and «cooperatives» acquires a new relevance in the context of the ecosocial transition. Beyond the postulate of fit or alterity between both types of institutions, this article proposes a nuanced framework of analysis informed by field studies to reposition the issue on the social and solidarity economy research agenda. First, based on a selective literature review, some research a…
El turismo en el medio rural de la península de Yucatán: Cambios, alternativas y gobernanza
En un número especial de la revista TRACE, publicado en 2004 y coordinado por Nathalie Raymond, la geógrafa francesa afirmaba la necesidad para las ciencias sociales de tomar en serio el estudio del turismo en América Latina, siendo este fenómeno un excelente prisma de observación de las realidades del subcontinente. El argumento defendido era una invitación a profundizar en el estudio del fenómeno turístico, muchas veces considerado como un tema…
El turismo rural comunitario en la península de Yucatán: Un análisis desde un enfoque alternativo del desarrollo
Community-based Rural Tourism (CBT) offers the possibility for local communities to appropriate a new economic activity, opening the way to the design of a different vision of development. This article examines the characteristics of development built by rural communities through the example of CBT in the Yucatan Peninsula. Based on information collected since 2012 with the actors of local initiatives, we observe that tourism is integrated into t…
Ciclo de vida de experiencias comunitarias de turismo en la cuenca del Lago de Pátzcuaro
This research is aimed at analysing community tourism experiences in the Lake Patzcuaro basin, based on Butler's theory of the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) adapted to the rural tourism context. The experiences of Yunuen, La Pacanda and Cerro Sandio were analysed. The information was obtained by literature research and field work. This was systematised by experience and by categories of analysis. The categories corresponded to community developm…
Participatory Action Research for the assessment of Community-Based Rural Tourism: A case study of co-construction of tourism sustainability indicators in Mexico
Research about Community-Based Rural Tourism (CBRT) shows that participation of local stakeholders is a key factor in the pursuit of sustainability and supports the idea of using collaborative methods like Participatory Action Research (PAR) with local initiatives to address management and planning issues. This paper describes a case study in which tourism sustainability indicators (SIs) for a CBRT initiative were constructed through PAR with a g…
El tianguis de cambio de Pátzcuaro desde la producción social del espacio
El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una aproximación analítica al tianguis de cambio de Pátzcuaro desde la producción del espacio. Partiendo de la propuesta de Lefebvre (2013), la tríada de la producción del espacio consiste en el espacio percibido, el concebido y el vivido, así como en los elementos que los vinculan. La investigación parte de información etnográfica obtenida a través de la observación participante, recorridos y entrevistas e…

Chercheur, observateur, acteur ? Retour sur une recherche-action participative au Mexique
This paper focuses on various positions of observation in a doctoral research in Mexico. The specific conditions of that research and its aim to set up a double process, academic and social, in the co-construction of knowledge, made it necessary for the observer to switch between different statuses. At first, in order to discuss the possibility to start a rural community based tourism activity, a participating observation helped to define the ter…
Productive identities and community conditions for rural tourism in Mexican tropical drylands
The presence of distinctive territories and identities are important assets for rural tourism in addition to favorable internal conditions in host communities to reach a governance tourism model. In Mexico, several rural tourism initiatives have shown weaknesses in the outcomes such as the emergence of new conflicts in host communities, an incorrect inversion in infrastructure or deficient local organizational capabilities. This indicates the nee…
