Abstract:
The integration of culture and tourism reconfigures rural value systems through spatial reproduction, serving as a key driver in resolving the 'conservation-livelihood' dilemma. Drawing upon Lefebvre's theory of spatial production, this paper constructs a quadruple livelihood space explanatory framework encompassing 'material-social-cultural-productive' dimensions. Using Nanyan Village in Fu'an City, Fujian Province (2014-2023) as a case study, it deconstructs the reproduction practices of rural livelihood spaces driven by cultural-tourism integration. It reveals how this integration achieves a transformative leap in livelihood space reproduction through the sequence of 'material space restructuring-social space reorganization-cultural space revitalization-productive space expansion'. The study demonstrates that: material space restoration enhances asset-based income, social network reorganization optimizes operational income, and cultural capital revitalization generates cultural premium returns, ultimately forming a value-closed loop through industrial chain integration. Addressing the imbalance challenges in livelihood space exposed during governance, the paper proposes optimization recommendations, offering institutional insights for traditional villages to synergize cultural preservation with economic development.
