The Spatiotemporal Links between Urban and Rural Regions through the Sale and Consumption of Agri-Food Products

The asymmetries between rural and urban areas have continued to increase over the last decades, contributing to an imbalance of economic, social, and territorial dimensions between regions. Urban stores specialized in the commercialization of rural provenance agri-food products can have a role in the promotion of interrelations between the countryside and the cities and contribute to publicizing and promoting rural regions among the urban populations and tourists. Thus, this work aims to understand and characterize the growth of these stores in two of the main urban and tourist centers of Oporto and Lisbon. For this purpose, we developed an analytical framework with the support of a spatial analysis using geographic information systems (GIS) to understand their organization as well as the spatiotemporal evolution and distribution. We also investigated the geographical patterns of the supply chains of marketed agri-food products and the spatial relationships between agri-food products from their production to their commercialization and consumption. The results revealed that most of the agri-food products originate in the inland rural regions of the country with a clear geographical connection between the analyzed stores and specific territories. Moreover, we verify an increased interest and consumption of agri-food products and a spontaneous increase in this type of store. Overall, these stores, in addition to selling agri-food products, are also promoters of rural territories in an urban environment.

Macro- and microplastic abundance from recreational beaches along the South Aegean Sea (Türkiye)

This study aimed to evaluate the abundance and diversity of macro- and microplastics in sand samples collected during summer and winter from eight different beaches used for recreational purposes located on the South Aegean coasts of Türkiye. According to the results, microplastic in fiber shape was dominant on all the beaches. The highest microplastic abundance was determined at Ölüdeniz Kumburnu Beach (360.00 ± 237.66 particles kg−1 dw) in summer and at Aktur Beach (358.33 ± 397.24 particles kg−1 dw) in winter. A significant positive correlation was found in the winter between microplastic amounts and wind speed. The study area is an important touristic center faraway from major cities and industrial areas. Thus, plastic pollution in this area may be the result of tourism activities in the summer, discharge waters from wastewater treatment plants or transportation by meteorological factors (like waves, wind or river flows).

Can tourism support resource circularity in small islands? On-field analysis and intervention proposals in Madagascar.

Open dumping and burning of solid waste are common practices in low-income countries. On small and touristic islands, the problem is exacerbated due to the additional volume of waste amount generated by tourists. This article presents how, using Nosy Be island in Madagascar as a case study, waste recovery and recycling can be fostered by tourism to tackle the waste challenge. About 95% of the waste of Nosy Be is openly dumped, discarded to sea or openly burned. Field analysis, interviews with local stakeholders and waste flow analysis served as methodological tools to assess the current solid waste management (SWM) system of Nosy Be. Stakeholder mapping and involvement as well as first exchange among local and international actors provided the basis to identify key practice and opportunities. Research findings highlight the importance of active participation and involvement of local partners supported by international experts, to suggest how touristic centres can serve as core of circular approaches.

Methodical approaches and statistical analysis of tourist arrivals to the centers of sightseeing tourism (on the example of Chernivtsi, Ukraine)

The aim of the study is to define methodological approaches and methods of statistical analysis of arrivals to the centers of excursion tourism. In destinations with highly appealing attractions or objects, accurately accounting for the number of tourists visiting them is crucial. In Chernivtsi, such an attraction or object is the former Residence of the Bukovinian Metropolitans, a UNESCO monument. The statistical analysis traces the dynamics of the number of excursion visitors to the former Residence. It identifies the factors that influenced it, including the inclusion of the site in the UNESCO list, Russian aggression since 2014, and the COVID‑19 pandemic. Based on the statistical reporting data analysis of the Historical and Architectural Museum Complex of Chernivtsi National University, three periods of excursion activity from 2000–2021 were identified. The first period (2000–2017) is characterized by rapid growth due to the inclusion of the former Residence in UNESCO. The second period (2017–2019) is a period of stagnation of excursion activity with minor fluctuations. The hypothesis and data analysis confirmed the thesis that the occupation of Crimea by Russia had an impact on the redistribution of tourist flows, particularly during the May holidays, within Ukraine, specifically in Chernivtsi. The third period (2019–2020), characterized by a sharp decline followed by the same dynamic growth (2020–2021), was caused by a force majeure event of global proportions – the COVID‑19 pandemic.

Tourism-income inequality Nexus in Africa: evidence from SADC countries

ABSTRACT The tourism sector is one of the fastest-growing services sub-sectors worldwide and promises to unlock job opportunities and improve social inclusion outcomes in developing countries. We focused on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, which houses developing countries with high income inequality and constitutes attractive tourist centres in sub-Saharan Africa. We employed both the disaggregated and composite indicators of tourism development to investigate the tourism-income inequality nexus in the SADC region from 2010 to 2019. Utilizing the panel quantile regression approach, our overall results suggest that tourism development is inequality-worsening, and this is robust to both the composite tourism index and the individual tourism indicators (except in a few instances). While we established that net FDI inflows improve the inequality outcomes in the region, less corruption worsens inequality (except in a few cases). Accordingly, we offer relevant policy options for the governments of the SADC region.
