在中国，城乡一体化正在为促进可持续社区带来新的挑战和机遇。本文利用最近的初步研究，探讨了国家构想和推动的“生态旅游”在中国浙江省安吉市可持续社区建设中的作用。我们重点推广一种名为“农家乐”（NJL）（体验乡村生活）的特殊类型“生态旅游”，其中城市居民在乡村住所过夜，享受当地美食，有时还从事农耕活动。目前，该战略正在安吉县内推广，作为通过城乡一体化发展创建可持续社区的关键战略。该研究利用可持续生计框架来探讨该举措在实践中能够在多大程度上为可持续社区做出贡献。结论是，NJL 需要被定位为安吉更广泛的民生投资组合的组成部分。
In China, urban rural integration is creating new challenges and opportunities for the promotion of sustainable communities. This paper draws on recent preliminary research to explore the role of “ecotourism” as conceived of and driven by the State in the delivery of sustainable communities in Anji, Zhejiang province, China. We focus on the promotion of a particular type of “ecotourism” called “Nong Jia Le” (NJL) (experiencing life in rural areas) which involves residents from urban areas staying overnight in rural residences, enjoying local food and sometimes engaging in farming. This is currently being promoted within Anji County as a key strategy for creating sustainable communities through integrated urban and rural development. The research uses a sustainable livelihoods framework to explore the extent to which this initiative is capable of contributing towards sustainable communities in practice. It concludes that NJL needs to be positioned as one component of the broader livelihood portfolio of Anji.
