Abstract:

In the present study, Jiangjia Village in Fuyang District, Hangzhou City, was selected as a case, and the actor network theory was used as a framework. An in-depth research on the antecedent factors, implementation process and effectiveness of cultural tourism entrepreneurship of “new farmers” was conducted through the fuzzy set comparison qualitative method on the basis of empirical research, and a case study of 10 “new farmers”. The results showed that the role perception and resource capital were the principle factors promoting the entrepreneurship. Resource capital and government policies were the external guarantee factors, while role perception and internal emotions and beliefs were the internal drivers that drove the innovation and entrepreneurship of “new farmers”. When location conditions and surrounding support became the main push factors, the driving factors influencing the cultural tourism entrepreneurship of “new farmers” tended to be transportation location and resource capital-led type. The driving factors and their combination of cultural tourism entrepreneurship of “new farmers” could vary with the change of policies, the cycle of business model bonus period, the tracking of network hotspots, etc. Finally, a theoretical framework model of actor network was proposed based on qualitative comparative analysis and empirical research in the context of the driving factors and combination paths of the cultural tourism entrepreneurship of “new farmers”.

Key words: actor network theory, rural revitalization, rural culture and tourism
