Agricultural landscapes known as agricultural heritage are essential for food production and local livelihood (Kremen & Merenlender, 2018). In addition to their practical importance, these landscapes embody a cultural heritage that is transferred across generations and provides invaluable insights into traditional agricultural practices, local customs and the inherent beauty of rural regions (Zhang et al., 2017). The use of these arable landscapes as tourism destinations therefore offers the opportunity to achieve economic benefits to the local community and at the same time to maintain their distinctive cultural legacies for future generations (Yamagishi et al., 2021). It is important to raise awareness of the sustainability of these landscapes, especially in view of the urgent need to combat deterioration and abandonment.
While urbanization accelerates, many rural areas are experiencing a phenomenon worldwide that is referred to as “outshift from” and is characterized by the decline of the population and the depopulation of rural communities (e.g. Adachi, 2007; Li et al., 2018 ; The migration of young people in urban centers in search of better employment opportunities has led to a significant lack of agricultural workers (e.g. Ryan et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2019; Wen et al., 2023). This trend is a challenge for the attractiveness of agricultural cultural heritage as tourist attractions. As a result, it is essential to examine strategies that promote the sustainability of arable land and at the same time mean the interests of different tourism stakeholders. This requires strengthening the local communities and the use of the tourism sector as a catalyst for the revitalization of rural areas (Wang & Marafa, 2021).
Within tourism research, the scientists have consistently campaigned for the strengthening of the characteristic landscapes in arable land to improve the role of rural communities in the development of tourism and to ensure a fair distribution of services (e.g. Weng & Peng, 2014 ; These scientists have articulated a sustainable tourism model that prioritizes the preservation of natural resources and at the same time facilitates the participation of the local community in tourism activities. The strengthening of the local communities includes their active commitment to decision -making processes in connection with the development of tourism (e.g. Park & Kim, 2016; Sarr et al., 2021). By adopting a parish -related approach to tourism planning, projects can be tailored to local contexts and resources can be distributed fairly (Svensson et al., 2018). In addition, the authorization of local communities to deal with tourism promotes a feeling of property and pride, especially among younger generations (Park et al., 2024). This in turn can contribute to the preservation and transfer of traditional agricultural cultures and help to alleviate the drainage of young workers from rural areas (Selemani, 2020). Combating common socio -economic questions in rural regions, including unemployment and poverty, is equally important (Torabi et al., 2021). Increasing the characteristic arable landscapes through the development of tourism creates an advantageous environment for both sides, in which the local community grasp the rewards of tourism and visitors you have the opportunity to recourse with local cultures and ways of life (e.g. Dolezal & Novelli, 2022;
The latest literature emphasizes the importance of strengthening the community in the field of tourism research (Nguyen et al., 2022) and examines its effects on the sustainability of the community, the protection of wild animals and the community tourist governance (e.g. Schmidt & UriiLy , 2019; Al., 2019) and more funded women's rights through the participation of agricultural tourism (Arroyo et al., 2019). et al., 2022). be reinforced. In addition, this collaborative approach not only keeps up with the cultural importance of agricultural heritage, but also paves the way for sustainable rural development, which offers a valuable framework for the implementation of agricultural landscape authorization worldwide.
For the successful improvement of the agricultural heritage of terrain, a cooperative strategy is of crucial importance, government agencies, tourism companies and rural population. The definition of a multi-party framework that coordinates the different interests of these groups makes it easier to participate in the development of tourism and ensures a fair distribution of the services. The latest literature emphasizes the decisive role of the government in this context and is committed to proactive political support and significant investments to improve the unique arable landscapes (Kunjuraman et al., 2022). At the same time, it is absolutely necessary that both tourism companies and rural communities actively participate in this initiative and use their unique strengths to promote the integration of resources and to promote the cooperation of rural tourism (Singh et al., 2023).
Despite the progress in this area, there are certain gaps in the literature. The long -term sustainability of qualified communities that deal with rural tourism is not sufficiently emphasis on long -term sustainability, especially in relation to adaptation itself. Although the need for a collaborative framework for stakeholders is recognized, only limited empirical research was carried out to describe the specific mechanisms through which this cooperation can be achieved and expanded in various contexts. After all, most of the existing research focuses on the right to participate in the community, but there is hardly a discussion about the possession of the arable landscape as a tourist attraction.
In view of this, the paper uses evolutionary game theory (EGT) to simulate the collaborative strategies and the behavior logic of the government, tourism companies and the local communities in strengthening rural landscape. This research presents novelty in three dimensions. First, EGT is used to examine collaborative strategies among the interest groups and to provide insights into the effects of strengthening and non -action of arable land. This analysis is intended to promote collective measures by uncovering the mathematical dynamics of stakeholder interactions. Second, the study contributes to the existing literature by revealing the reasons for behavior behind the decisions of stakeholders in relation to rural landscape funding. Two completely different scenarios are analyzed to determine the motivations and incentives that influence the government's strategies, tourism companies and local communities. Finally, practical effects on political decision -makers are presented, which emphasizes critical factors that enable successful collaborative strategies. The dynamics of property rights in the landscape are explained by an EGT frame that enables political decision -makers and local communities to effectively navigate complex interactions. The rest of this paper is as follows: Section 2 checks the literature that is relevant for research purposes and methodology. Section 3 presents the models and hypotheses. In section 4, the simulation results are discussed, and in Section 5, research results, effects and restrictions are summarized.
