Abstract
Production space is an important resource for the survival of local communities. In the process of cultural tourism development, the entry of external resources and the demand of the market will change the original economic production of the heritage site. Different subjects such as local residents, operators from other places, local governments, and planners will continue to recreate the production space. This paper takes Xizhou Ancient Town and Zhoucheng Village in Yunnan Procince, China as examples. Xizhou Ancient Town made full use of rice field resource combined with land transfer procedures, introduced social enterprises to concentrate on farming, and held a "Rice Culture Festival" to create the "Xi" brand of agricultural products. On the basis of the original production tradition of tie-dye handicrafts, Zhoucheng Village renovated the abandoned state-owned factory building as a tiedye museum, integrating sightseeing, display, production, experience and other functions, moving the production work from the original private family workshop to a public cultural place, and further promoting the communication between local villagers. In these two cases, the changes of spatial ownership and function are led by the government and planning departments, which have injected new connotations into the regional agricultural and handicraft traditions. In the process of cultural tourism development, planning, as a leading role with legal effect, should use key spaces as carriers to guide the functional positioning of the region. At the same time, an operation platform should be built to provide positive guidance for cultural heritage sites under the principle of authenticity.
