Abstract

<p>This research paper analyzes and considers the current situation of the changing social structure and the issues in the basic rural organizations, using Guandi and Beigou villages as the developing urban areas in China. Furthermore, it considers the role played by the tourism organization toward the decline in the functioning of the basic rural organizations. Analysis results show that these basic rural organizations cannot respond appropriately to the changing social structure. Guandi’s tourism organization was established by the local residents, accepts a cross-section of residents, and it is a part of the function of the basic rural organization. On the other hand, Beigou’s tourism organization was established by the basic rural organization, and conducts business activities, which contribute to improving its fiscal circumstances. Therefore, it is evident that Guandi’s tourism organization is complementary to the functions of its basic rural organization, while Beigou’s tourism organization contributes to widen the functions of its basic rural organization.</p>
