商品描述

This book centres on religious heritage-making where religion as a rich and diverse manifestation of culture and community empowerment lead to the transformation of place. Fusing heritage and religion in the novel multidisciplinary concept 'heri-ligion', the authors illuminate the dynamics of change inherent in religious-oriented heritage-making. Grounded in empirical evidence, this rich concept integrates religious tourism, heritage tourism, and community-based empowerment for sustainable development.

Applying this unique concept to the once abandoned Hakka village of Yim Tin Tsai, the authors analyse the evolving paths of the island from its Hakka origins to a Christian pilgrimage site, and more recently, to a UNESCO cultural heritage site and thriving tourist destination. The authors foreground the important role of the scattered community as a key agent of change in facilitating a sustainable environment of Hong Kong's only salt-producing place today. A dynamic example of community development and empowerment founded upon religious, cultural, industrial and natural heritage, this book uniquely contributes to tourism and heritage studies, human geography, cultural sociology, Hakka studies, Asian studies, and anthropology of religion.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書聚焦於宗教遺產的創造，探討宗教作為文化和社區賦權的豐富多樣表現，如何促進地點的轉變。透過將遺產與宗教融合於新穎的多學科概念「heri-ligion」，作者揭示了宗教導向的遺產創造中固有的變化動態。這一豐富的概念以實證證據為基礎，整合了宗教旅遊、遺產旅遊和基於社區的賦權，以促進可持續發展。

作者將這一獨特概念應用於曾經被遺棄的客家村落鹽田仔，分析了該島從客家起源演變為基督教朝聖地，並最近成為聯合國教科文組織文化遺產地和繁榮的旅遊目的地的過程。作者強調了分散社區在促進香港唯一的鹽產地可持續環境中作為變革關鍵推動者的重要角色。這本書作為一個基於宗教、文化、工業和自然遺產的社區發展與賦權的動態範例，獨特地貢獻於旅遊與遺產研究、人文地理學、文化社會學、客家研究、亞洲研究以及宗教人類學等領域。
