No full textMapping social enterprises in Finland : Rural-urban differences?
No full textAcademics and policymakers alike view social enterprises as potential change agents for sustainable development, particularly in rural areas. However, relatively little is known about the size of the rural social enterprise sector. Therefore, this chapter maps out the distribution of Finnish social enterprises by utilising several different sources to identify them and a typology developed by the Finnish Environment Centre to distinguish whether they are located in a rural or an urban area. The map of Finnish social enterprises reveals that they are mainly concentrated in the largest urban centres, while social enterprises are relatively rare in rural areas. A likely reason behind this is related to social enterprises being largely service-oriented and, thus, needing good accessibility to sufficient customer bases. Further analysis on Finnish social enterprises shows that while rural social enterprises are not strikingly different from their urban counterparts in terms of their size and performance, some interesting differences emerge. Social enterprises located in rural areas are more often arranged as cooperatives and more often engaged with environmental services (linking them directly with the concept of sustainability) than social enterprises located in urban areas

No full textThe morphology across tourism destinations: A case study in China
No full textMorphology, the study of shapes or forms, when applied to tourism, emphasizes the multifarious spatial practices between morphological elements and tourism activities. However, existing literature on morphology in the context of tourism usually only focuses on a single or a limited number of study areas, overlooking common or even universal patterns across various tourism destinations. To address this gap, we utilize geospatial big data and present a case study on the morphology of 406 “AAAAA”-rated scenic areas in China. A framework based on “points”, “lines”, “planes”, and “solids” was designed to systematically organize and analyze morphological elements across scenic areas. The findings provide valuable insights for tourism planning and development, such as the co-occurrence of dense road networks and fragmented landscapes within scenic areas, as well as the resource-context-influenced (cultural or natural) associations between morphological features and tourism indicators. This research provides valuable strategic guidance for more effective and informed tourism development while acknowledging the trade-offs between generalizability and local specificity
