    The Evolution Of Rural Tourism Development A Case Study In Kuala Sepetang Matang Perak
    (2024-04)
    Ong Ke Shin
    Tourism is frequently advocated as a socioeconomic development strategy for rural areas. Despite the growing interest in rural tourism, there exists a notable research gap concerning its emergence as a new economic specialization in rural areas, the reasons behind this emergence, and the key actors involved. This study comprehensively aims to understand the emergence and dynamic evolution of a tourist destination over time in a rural context. To achieve this, an analytical framework is constructed, integrating concepts from evolutionary economic geography (EEG) and relational economic geography (REG), encompassing path dependence, lock-in, agency, power, and contextuality. Methodologically, this thesis employs a qualitative, single-case study approach grounded in critical realist philosophy. Using a diverse range of data sources, including observations, semi-structured interviews, and documents, the study employs an inductive-deductive thematic approach for analysis. The investigation of tourism development in Kuala Sepetang and Matang, within the analytical framework, yields several key conclusions. Firstly, tourism in these regions is deeply rooted in pre-existing natural and cultural resources inherited from the local economy's historical trajectory. Numerous contextual factors, including social, economic, and political structures operating at various geographical scales, continually influence its emergence and evolution. Secondly, the evolution of tourism is shaped by the power dynamics and agency of key actors.

    Al-marshoudi, Ahmed Salim Khalfan Ali
    Using the ancient aflāj (singular falāj) system in Sultanate of Oman as a case study, this thesis investigates the Islamic water rights ownership and institution. This was conducted by analyzing the relationship of the physical water extraction variation among the three aflāj types in Oman and the development of water right types and the Islamic equitable principles/institutions. In literature many principles concerning water management and administration have been discussed. The most used one, in most Islamic studies, is how to manage water (as a natural gift) in relation with what Allah almighty given natural resource (also known as ecosystem) and human interaction. However, the focus of this thesis to fulfil the gap in our knowledge in how to provide a legal recognition of water rights ownership and institution. In fact, a guiding tool using Oakerson operational rule/institution which is considered as soft constrain for two main reasons: 1) decision making made operative only through human knowledge, choice, and action 2) rules found in decision making exist entirely in ream language (whether written or unwritten). It is these written and unwritten rules that have been applied in describing aflāj historical institutional (which researcher called Islamic equitable principles) and confirms with revealed information found within aflāj communities in Oman. In addition, Islamic equitable principles have been used to avoid confusion with another Islamic term known as uşūl al-fiĝh or jurisprudences.
