The potential of cultural tourism for sustainable tourism developing was explored in the H2020 funded TExTOUR project. A total of eight territories developed action plans based on their local heritage for sustainable tourism development. This article situates the actions created through the participatory TExTOUR approach are framed within larger global initiatives, to the Sustainable Development Agenda and the UNWTO pillars of the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, to show how TExTOUR has contributed to sustainable development through the means of cultural tourism. The results of this article show that local communities can contribute to global goals through cultural tourism strategies. In particular, these areas show that cultural tourism can support, safeguard and enhance heritage and promote positive economic growth through job creation.

On the contrary, if planned for, it could provide an opportunity for repopulation and regeneration. This article explores the underlying causes and impacts of current rural in-migration, and further, it touches on how planning can balance development while supporting communities for a rural renaissance. By using a case study area in Sweden, it examines evidence of amenity-driven in-migration flows before and during the pandemic. The findings show an increased usage of part-time housing as a result of demand for space and nature; however, this was made possible through already well functioning infrastructures. Acknowledging that it is crucial to maintain and enhance natural capital, this study suggests that the supply of services...

En litteraturstudie har utforts baserad pa tvarvetenskaplig vasterlandsk litteratur med avsikt att forsta de influenser som format svenska gravmonument i parkmiljo. Tre svenska gravmonument har studerats noggrannare i syfte att jamfora dem med samtida svenska och europeiska parkideal, och aven for att se historiska kopplingar. Resultatet av arbetet visar att bakomliggande ideer ar individuellt styrda av samtida ideal, och praglas av underliggande landskap i form av kollektiva minnen och myter. Gemensamt som ide for gravmonument ar tanken att skapa en utopi. Hur idealet for utopin sett ut varierar genom historien och har haft flera namn - den besjalade naturen, Eden och Arkadien. Utformningen av gravmonument ar ett resultat av monumentets bakomliggande ide och samtidens ideal. Kontinentala ideal har praglat det svenska parklandskap...
