Logic and Way out of Community-led Rural Tourism Development under the Goal of Common Prosperity:A Case Study of Langde Miao Ethnic Village in Qiandongnan Prefecture of Guizhou Province
Taking the Langde Miao Ethnic Village in Qiandongnan Prefecture of Guizhou Province as a case,historical institutionalism was applied to evaluate the"workpoint system"of tourism involvement through in-depth interviews and fieldwork.It expanded on the common prosperity logic and outlet of community-led rural tourist de-velopment by analyzing the history,rationale over the long term,and future direction of the"workpoint system"re-form.The findings demonstrated that the"workpoint system"was shaped by the social logic and cultural foundation of Langde Miao Village,and that the historical key nodes determined the rationale for the system's selection.Even while the"workpoint system"to safeguard residents'rights to participate was hard to avoid being"lazy"and had drawn criticism,Langde Miao Ethnic Village had continued to use it,and the system's institutional inertia had been bolstered by the rising return.Besides,the"workpoint system"was integrated into the system network struc-ture as a component of the community system,creating a correlation dependency that leaded to the system lock.The combination of institutional inertia and institutional lock decided that the"workpoint system"survived.The"workpoint system"was effective in terms of human capital characteristics,although path deviation was exacerbated by changes in the external environment and group divergence within the community.Institutional reform is more likely to follow the co-prosperity route that upholds the village's traditional values.
