But what is my goal? I have a collection of mixed media to show for the research and thought that I have put into this project; pictures, stories, memories, materials, drawings, narratives, etc. My collective understanding of the project itself is equally disparate, unified only by layers of thin veneer of high-minded academic, social, and financial importance. There is a problem and I see a clear opportunity for its resolve with benefit to many. How do I voice it?
The key is to zoom out on my understanding of the whole thing in an effort to summarize it from a large enough scale to fit neatly in a chewable tablet. Considering the wide range of subject matter to be included in this project (architecture, tourism, sustainability, argiculture, infrastructure, bio-fuels, symbiotic relationships, public health), the importance of the title increases as it ensures a navigational framework for this trip, which is otherwise fraught with the danger of mis-course.
Essentially what I want my audience to know right off the bat is that tourism (specifically eco-tourism [more on the definition later]) can be used as a tool to better the lives of the citizens of the town in which the project exists.
Title: EcoTourism as a Catalyst for Regenerative Processeses.
Would you voluntarily read that?
I think the title is intriguing, however I am unsure as to the intention of your thesis without reading the previous sentence. I do like the sound of it, and I would definitely read it, but I wonder if that is because I have an inherent understanding of your meaning aside from the title, or if it in fact enticed me. Not to say that you should change a thing but perhaps think about the regenerative processes that you hope to underline, as well as the intention your thesis proposes. This may help to produce maybe a more broad title that is also specific, along the lines of Ecotourism: Revitalizing a city through non-inhabitant intervention.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, though I do like the title.
