如何实现旅游地的社会公平与和谐发展是旅游地理学的学术关怀之所在，也是当代中国旅游地发展过程中亟需面对的重要问题。中国旅游地社会矛盾的相关研究，必须关注旅游地的"权力-地理关系"。西方人文地理学的"领地"研究为此提供了很好的理论资源。本项目尝试基于领地理论，将研究聚焦于乡村旅游地，以乡村旅游地的"权力-地理关系"为核心，通过楠溪江旅游村落群、广州周边乡村旅游地和皖南古村落群等典型案例的研究，理清权力与领地之间的关系，分析作用于乡村旅游地的各种社会权力，剖析乡村旅游地对各种权力限定的响应机制，系统研究乡村旅游地社会矛盾的发生机制及造成不同地方呈现不同社会矛盾之空间分异的影响因素。在理论层面，本项目可以推进旅游社区增权和旅游地社会问题研究，在更广阔的视野上，可为国内知识界关于三农问题的研究提供具有解释力的人文地理学理论。在实践层面，本项目可为乡村旅游地社会矛盾疏解方案的制定提供依据。
