Abstract

ILBERY B., BOWLER I., CLARK G., CROCKETT A. and SHAW A. (1998) Farm-based tourism as an alternative farm enterprise: a case study from the northern Pennines, England, Reg. Studies 32 , 355-364. This paper examines the development of farm-based tourism in the less favoured area of the northern Pennines. Farm tourism is conceptualized as an alternative farm enterprise (AFE) comprising one of seven possible 'pathways of farm business development'. As such, the development of farm-based tourism (FBT) is influenced by a range of factors both external and internal to the farm. Lower levels of family labour distinguish tourist AFE farms from non-tourist AFE farms, while different types of FBT are associated with particular farm and household characteristics. Nevertheless, the reasons for adopting tourist enterprises are diverse and often very individualistic. Institutional involvement in FBT in the study area is increasing, but it is reactive rather than proactive and tends to constrain as well as enable the development of farm tourism. Few farmers have contacted institutions about new or existing farm tourism enterprises. However, levels of inter-agency networking are increasing and a core of eight institutions is now dominating institutional behaviour towards AFEs and FBT in the northern Pennines, especially in Northumberland. More research is needed on the interactions between farm households and institutions in the development of FBT. ILBERY B., BOWLER I., CLARK G., CROCKETT A. et SHAW A. (1998) Le tourisme base sur la ferme en tant qu'une entreprise agricole alternative: etude de cas provenant des Pennines du nord, au Royaume-Uni, Reg. Studies 32 , 355-364. Cet article examine le developpement du tourisme base sur la ferme dans la region defavorisee des Pennines du nord. Le tourisme base sur la ferme est vu comme une entreprise agricole alternative (alternative farm enterprise, AFE) comportant un des sept 'sentiers du developpement de l'entreprise agricole' eventuels. En tant que tel, le developpement du tourisme base sur la ferme (farm-based tourism, FBT) se voit influencer par une serie de facteurs et 'externes' et 'internes'. Des aides familiales moinsnombreuses distinguent les fermes AFE touristiques des fermes AFE non-touristiques, alors que le type de FBT se rapporte aux caracteristiques particulieres de la 'ferme' et du 'foyer'. Toujours est-il que la raison d'etre des entreprises touristiques varie et est souvent tres individualiste. La participation des organismes au FBT dans la zone en question s'accroit mais s'avere plutot reactionnelle que dynamique et a tendance a entraveraussi bien que faciliter le developpement dutourisme base sur la ferme. Rares sont les fermiers qui se sont mis en contact avec des organismes au sujet des entreprises agricoles touristiques, soit nouvelles, soit existantes. Cependant, les reseaux d'agences se developpent et un 'noyau' de huit organismes dominent maintenant le comportement des organismes envers les AFE et le FBT dans les Pennines du nord, surtout dans le Northumberland. Il faut plus de recherche sur les interactions entre les foyers agricoles et les organismes implique ´s dans le de ´veloppement du FBT. ILBERY B., BOWLER I., CLARK G., CROCKETT A. und SHAW A. (1998) Ferien auf dem Bauernhof als alternative Bauernhofunternehmen: eine Fallstudie aus den nordlichen Pennines, England, Reg. Studies 32 , 355-364. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht die Entwicklung des Tourismus in Form von Ferien auf dem Bauernhof in dem weniger begunstigten Gebiet der nordlichen Pennines. Tourismus in Form von Ferien auf dem Bauernhof wird als alternatives Bauernhofunternehmen (AFE) aufgefasst, das eines von sieben moglichen ''Wegen zur geschaftlichen Entwicklung des Bauernhofs'' darstellt. Als solche wird die Entwicklung des Tourismus auf der Grundlage des Bauernhofs (FBT) durch eine Reihe uberbetrieblicher und ausserbetrieblicher Faktoren des Hofs bestimmt. AFE Ferienhofe unterscheiden sich von AFE Nicht-Ferienhofen durch weniger von Familienmitgliedern verrichtete Arbeit, wahrend verschiedene Typen des FBT mit besonderen Bauernhof-und Haushaltseigenheiten in Verbindung gebracht werden. Nichtsdestowniger gibt es verschiedene, und oft sehr individuelle, Grunde fur die Aufnahme von Feriengasten. Institutionelle Beteiligung in FBT war im Untersuchungsgebiet im Begriff, zuzunehmen, doch ist dies eher eine Reaktion als wegweisend, und halt die Entwicklung des Tourismus in Form von Ferien auf dem Bauernhof ebenso zuruck wie es ihn ermoglicht. Nur wenige Bauern haben sich zwecks neuer oder bereits angelaufener Unternehemen ''Ferien auf dem Bauernhof'' mit Institutionen in Verbindung gesetzt. Das Ausmass der Zusammenarbeit mit Agenturen nimmt jedoch weiter zu, und in den Nordpennines, besonders in Northumberland, bilden nun acht Institutionen einen ''Kern'', die den Ton des institutionellen Verhalten zu AFEs und FBTs angeben. Die Zusammenarbeit von Institutionen und ba ¨uerlichen Haushalten bedarf weiterer Untersuchung.
