Krajobraz wiejski i turystyka. Poszukiwanie równowagi pomiędzy widzeniem i wizerunkiem wsi
PublicationNajważniejszym składnikiem marki wsi jest krajobraz. Wizerunek wsi kreowany w turystyce i dostępny widok różnią się jednak coraz bardziej: przekaz reklamowy identyfikuje wieś z przyrodą oraz ciszą i spokojem; wieś realna stanowi, najczęściej dysharmonijną, mozaikę wiejsko-miejskiego zagospodarowania. Konfrontacja dostarczonego przez turystykę komunikatu z oglądanym krajobrazem podważa wiarygodność marki wsi, co stanowi zagrożenie...
