Folding and unfolding: A topological framework for understanding intangible cultural heritage tourism in urban villages - The case of chebei dragon boat scenery, Guangzhou, China

This topological approach offers a robust analytical framework for heritage tourism management, moving beyond binary preservation-development paradigms toward adaptive sustainability models that honor both cultural continuity and contemporary urban development needs.
