Mechanisms of data mining in analyzing the effects and trends of news dissemination

Abstract Data mining techniques can help news organizations and media practitioners extract valuable information from a large amount of unorganized information, such as by analyzing the effect of news dissemination. In data mining, multiple linear regression is a widely used technical model. In this paper, we utilize the classic “cognition-attitude-behavior” analysis framework to construct a regression analysis model of the news communication effect. We solve the positional parameters according to the principle of least squares, ensuring that the regression value and all observations have the minimum residual square. We then solve the system of linear equations using Clem’s law and the Gaussian elimination method. The constructed models are used to analyze the news dissemination effect of Guangzhou’s city image on traditional news platforms and microblog self-media platforms, respectively. It is found that the news videos of “cultural image” and “ecological image” have a significant positive effect on the news dissemination effect. The longer the duration of the news video, the better the dissemination effect. In terms of the influence of event-related online opinion leaders on news dissemination, the number of comments and likes have a significant positive influence, with coefficients of 0.778 and 0.059, respectively, and both are significant at the 1% level. In addition to the number of comments and likes, the influencing factors on the dissemination of related news are the number of fans, whether there is V authentication, and whether there is microblogging membership. After conducting two empirical data mining analyses, we verified the validity of the multiple linear regression model in this paper by analyzing the effect and trend of news dissemination.

Образ сибирского города в германском травелоге XIX века (по страницам «Путешествия в Западную Сибирь» Отто Финша)

The article considers the image of the Siberian city of the 19 century as an event phenomenon that is formed in the narrative space of travelogue. From the many descriptions of Siberian cities that take place in the travelogue “Journey to Western Siberia”, the description of the city of Barnaul is selected, presented in chapter X “From the Altai village to Tomsk”. In the list of the main events of the trip to Western Siberia, the object of the imaginary geography “Barnaul” is considered. In Finsch’s travelogue, the object of imaginary geography appears in the reader’s mental discourse in the form of a plot, the linear development of which is based on the alternation of stories, qualities of city residents, city attractions. The analysis makes it possible to identify a model that is convenient for the European contemplator-the formula of his narrative immersion in the depicted Western Siberian landscape, which allows the reader to imagine himself as a participant in the event and experience the need to become a participant in the event and “place himself” in the narrative and thus realize opportunities that are not in demand in life To identify the features of the formation of conceptual level knowledge in the German travelogue of the 19 century, it is useful to turn to the ideas of literary geography, which considers the narrative as a form of mapping, organizing vital data into recognizable patterns that help both the viewer and the reader or writer to understand the system of connections, of which he becomes a part in the narrative of life. The synthesis of narrative analysis techniques, structural analysis, ideas of literary and imaginative geography, cognitive-structural approach to event analysis allows the authors to determine the specifics of the European travelogue of the 19 century.

Research on the Perception and Dissemination of Tourist Attraction Images in Tourist Cities under Cross-Cultural Backgrounds: Data from International Tourists’ Online Reviews

This paper investigates the perception and dissemination strategies of tourist images in tourist cities from the perspective of international tourists with cross-cultural characteristics, coming from different countries. It selects 13 tourist cities in Jiangsu Province, China, as case studies. By analyzing online review data from international tourists entering the country, the study examines both positive and negative perceptions of tourist attraction images. The results reveal that the language and volume of the reviews reflect the origins and scale of the international tourists, while the content of these reviews indicates their preferences for tourist attractions. A comparative analysis of the review data suggests that there are differences in the perceived images of tourist cities. The conclusions of this study suggest that tourism city managers, tourism business operators, and local residents can make efforts to improve the city’s tourism development. These improvements can be achieved by utilizing international media platforms to disseminate tourism images, enhancing the quality of tourist attraction operations, and strengthening cultural exchanges in tourism.

Лирическая поэтика романа И. Бунина «Жизнь Арсеньева»

The paper examines such features of the lyrical poetics of the novel “The Life of Arseniev” in terms of its thematic and motivic repetitions, fragmentary and variegated style, and overall sense of ambivalence and uncertainty. An emphasis is placed on how various settings are described, including manor and urban locales and on the punctuated lyrical narrative of the Fifth Book of the novel. Ivan Bunin depicts several manors near Arseniev’s residence characterized by their similarities and significant historical connections to renowned Russian writers. The lyricism of the manor theme is enhanced by various variations, lending it a substantial semantic richness. The transitions between different spaces, the layered descriptions, and the concentration of similar plots within each chapter are all points of interest. The urban space is built under the same laws as the manor. The technique used to depict cities entails the repetition of similar characteristics, with the images of the provincial city of Orel gradually merging with those of an unnamed county town in Book Five. The lyrical plot of Book Five is structured around the multiplication of similar situations, with several climaxes. The spatial and plot structures exhibit duplication, complementarity, and induction elements. The multiplication of similar motifs and plot situations skillfully confuses the reader, introducing a subject ambiguity underlying the lyrical poetics of the novel. The lyrical poetics of the novel shares similarities with the classical Russian elegy, including specific details and a melancholic tone.

DMO PROMOTIONS OF INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE THROUGH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN MEXICO’S BAJIO

Promoting cultural heritage has become crucial for Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) in heritage cities, as it fosters tourism development and shapes the overall cultural identity of a destination. Cultural heritage encompasses both tangible and intangible elements, with the latter focusing on manifestations that uphold the cultural identity of social groups and communities. In recent times, tourists seek authentic cultural experiences, not merely to observe heritage but also to actively engage with it. According to UNWTO (2018), cultural tourism represents almost 40% of all tourism activities. However, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic brought unparalleled challenges to the tourism industry. The objective of this study was to explore the elements that represent ICH in the visual tourism communication of heritage cities in the Mexican Bajio region and examine any modifications made to these elements during the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve these objectives, we employed a content and network analysis of images extracted from the Facebook pages of each city's DMOs (San Miguel de Allende, San Juan del Río, Querétaro and Morelia) from January 2019 to December 2020. Among the main findings, it was revealed that the induced/projected tourist image of the heritage cities in the Mexican Bajio during 2019-2020 emphasized the social aspect, showcasing dynamic experiences and the local community. The pandemic impacted the representation of natural elements, business types, and ICH. In the specific analysis of the ICH of the Bajio region, we found that the domain with the highest representation in the DMO’s visual communication was social practices, rituals, and festive events. In images alluding to festivals and gastronomy, the tourist node disappeared during the pandemic and the node of residents became more central. Elements related to COVID-19, such as masks or warning texts, were identified more frequently in gastronomy images than in festival images.

He destroyed the markers of mystery and danger of this territory and the image of Siberia with ”bad reputation” that existed in French discourse. The article examines how the author helped his readers to “imagine” the great spaces of Siberia. Comparing the space of Siberia with the space of North America, the author sought to make Siberia understandable to Europeans and mentally bring the space of Siberia closer. The image of Siberian cities in the work of Pierre Leroy-Beaulieu is studied. Attention is paid to the author's idea of the tolerance of Russians and their relationships with the native population. The article will also present facts from the biography of the author, who came from the well-known Leroy-Beaulieu family. Results. The analysis of the source showed that in place of the old image of Siberia with a «bad» reputation, which did not correspond to the new realities of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, the image of a “new” Siberia was constructed in French discourse.

The Influence of Folk Sports Tourism on the Construction of City Brand Image

Abstract Folk sports, as a carrier of inheriting and promoting national culture, can not only show the unique charm of the city but also enhance the city’s popularity and reputation, providing a new opportunity for city brand building. To explore the relationship between folk sports tourism and city brand image, this paper uses the factor analysis method to extract the male factors that affect the city brand image. The model is validated through various validations, and finally, the components of the brand image of the tourism city are determined. Among them, “city tourism function image” and “city culture” are closely related to the development of folk sports tourism. Based on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-OR) model, we constructed a model of the influence mechanism of folklore sports perception factors on city brand image and city brand identity. Relevant hypotheses are proposed to explore the relationship between the four factors: folk sports perception factors, immersion experience, city brand image, and city brand identity. Finally, the research findings are rationally explained in the light of reality, and relevant suggestions are put forward for the construction of a city’s brand image.

Immersive public art and humanistic city image building in the digital era

Abstract The evolving times, along with the advancements in science and technology, have led to a transformation in public art. The emergence of digital media public art, which plays a crucial role in shaping the city’s image, has brought art to life. This paper utilizes virtual reality technology and digital media technology to create an immersive public art space. The CAVE system creates an immersive effect, while Kinect and Unity3D scene docking enable interactive effects. We design a questionnaire to gather data on the public’s experience of immersive public art in Shenzhen and their perception of the city’s image-shaping. We then explore the relationship between the two using structural equations and correlation analysis. The results reveal a strong correlation between the perception of immersive public art experiences and the shaping of urban images, with an average correlation of 0.795. The influence of immersive public art’s sensory experience, interactive experience, and cognitive experience on humanistic city image shaping was significant (P<0.05). Additionally, awareness of immersive public art had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between the two. This paper lays the foundation for creating immersive public art spaces and provides valuable reference ideas for shaping a humanistic city image.

방치된 주유소의 적응적 재사용을 위한 생활플랫폼 사례연구

Gas stations, which are essential urban infrastructure, are under pressure to spread new transportation methods and quickly replace infrastructure due to recent research and technological advancements in alternative energy such as hydrogen and electricity. This economic burden is rapidly increasing the closure and neglect of gas station spaces. Because abandoned gas stations cause environmental harm from pollution, social risk from crime, and deterioration of the city's image, the public sector must view this as an urban problem and respond actively and quickly to resolve it. Adaptive reuse is a tool to revitalize a city in stagnation by eliminating psychological instability found in local idle space and improving physical inconveniences, providing a space with new functions tailored to the needs of local residents. Accordingly, this study studied the case of a lifestyle platform that is rapidly expanding into people's daily lives as we enter the leisure culture era. The purpose of this study was to consider the possibility of utilizing neglected gas station space from the perspective of conversion into a lifestyle platform appropriate for the times, and to present the basic direction of an adaptive reuse plan that reflects this result. In conclusion, abandoned gas stations are sufficiently adaptive and reusable spaces by taking steps to explore influencing factors, establish design standards, and prepare operating standards, but they must be improved by utilizing the characteristics of the physical space but reflecting emotional preference factors. The gas station space transformed into a lifestyle platform can become a place of daily life by providing local residents with environmental comfort, stability of access, and diversity of experiences that were not possible when it was an abandoned gas station.

Çarşamba Shoes as a City Image

Kültür milletleri var eden yapı taşıdır. Kültür bir yönüyle toplumsal bellektir ve insan beyninin ürettiği her şeydir. Kültür insanı hayvandan ayıran sadece insana ait bir kavramdır. Kültür insanlar tarafından paylaşılan ve gelecek kuşaklara intikal ettirilen göstergeler bütünüdür. İlk çağlardan günümüze kadar toplumların yaşayışlarında, giyim kuşam, yeme içme âdetleri, düğün, bayram ve ölüm törenleri gibi birçok alanda değişmeler yaşanmıştır. Bunun sonucunda her millete ait farklı uygulamalar ve çeşitlenmeler oluşmuş, toplumları birbirinden ayırıcı özellikler ortaya çıkmıştır. Kültürün özü aynı kalmakla birlikte sürekli değişim halindedir ve gelecek kuşaklara evirilerek aktarılmaktadır. Yine her toplumun kurallarını kendi belirlediği ve kurallarına uyduğu gelenekleri vardır. Bu bağlamda ele aldığımız kültürel değerler sistemi geleneksel mesleklerin de ortaya çıkmasını sağlamaktadır. Geleneksel meslekler yerelle uyum içinde olan ve yerel topluluk tarafından gerçekleştirilen ekonomiye dayalı mesleki faaliyetler olarak tanımlanır. Bir mesleğin gelenek kapsamında değerlendirilebilmesi için toplumun ona ihtiyaç duyması ve uzun süreli bir pratiğinin olması gerekmektedir. Bu meslekler usta-çırak ilişkisiyle sürdürülür ya da babadan oğula geçerek gelecek kuşaklara aktarılır. Anadolu’nun her yerinde geleneksel meslekler toplumun ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda ve teknolojik gelişmelerden de etkilenerek varlığını sürdürmektedir. Bu mesleklerden biri de Çarşamba yumurta topuk ayakkabıcılığıdır. Tarihi uzun yıllara dayanan ve günümüzde de varlığını koruyan Çarşamba yumurta topuk ayakkabısı yapımı usta-çırak ilişkisiyle günümüze kadar ulaşmıştır. Bu çalışmada Çarşamba yöresine ait olan yumurta topuk ayakkabısının tarihi gelişimi, yapılış evresi, kullanılan malzemeleri ve tanıtımı; bir kent ve kültür imgesine dönüşümü ve kültür endüstrisine katkısı ele alınmıştır.

Features of visual perception of the historical environment of the Desyatynna Church in Kyiv

Landscape, especially urban landscape, contributes to the formation of a sense of place. The identification of the perception characteristics of the historical image of Kyiv city, based on visual landscape research, was conducted with the aim of establishing visual connections and areas between sacred structures in the complex relief conditions of the Starokyivska Hill. The study applied methods for determining the quantitative indicators of spatial-visual characteristics of the studied locality based on a planned route survey. The parameters of the main selected points were determined by depth of visibility, horizontal viewing angle, presence of focal points, accents, types of perspectives, and types of space. Through visual landscape research, the dynamics of visual connections and areas between elements in the historical landscape of Kyiv were identified. The absence of changes in the spatial-visual characteristics was established at three selected points, while changes were found in others. Specifically, the changes are characterized by a decrease in the depth of visibility along the visual axis between the Desyatynna Church and the St. Andrew’s Church. The need to search for ways to model the outline of the landscape in the complex relief conditions of the Starokyivska Hill is revealed for the perspective of preserving the historical image and improving spatial solutions in the urban environment.
