Sustainable Development and Environmental Tourism. The Case of Lake Karla – Thessaly, Greece

Sustainable development is the common ground between the three components: environment, economy, and society, which are also known as sustainability pillars. In this work, an attempt was made to investigate whether Lake Karla - Mavrovouni, supporting agriculture, biodiversity and cultural activities and being part of the Natura 2000 protected area network, in combination with the diverse topics of environmental education, can contribute for the sustainable development of local societies, with the contribution of the collective bodies of local self-government. For the holistic management of the protected area of the "Karla" lake, the managers must consider on the one hand the protection of the natural and cultural heritage and on the other hand the sustainable development of the area through the promotion of the natural and cultural heritage and the promotion of environmental tourism. For this purpose, managers need to know socio-economic and demographic characteristics of visitors. Here, questionnaire responses were used to investigate the profile, environmental perception, knowledge, and behavior of visitors. In total, more than 300 questionnaires were sent, and finally 161 questionnaires were fully answered, which constitute the research sample. The analysis of the results showed that the natural and cultural environment contribute to the sustainable development of the wider area of Lake Karla-Mavrovouni, highlighting through them serious advantages and opportunities to exploit the area by the local bodies.

Sustainable Destination Management Using Visitors’ Movements: Applying Mobile Positioning Data

Understanding visitors’ movements is crucial to achieving the goals of sustainable destination management while dealing with the environmental, social, and cultural impact of tourism. This study examines the movement patterns of visitors within Taeanhaean National Park (TNP) by adopting a destination measurement approach from a longitudinal perspective. The spatial distribution of the visitors’ activities and movement patterns was obtained by using mobile positioning data (MPD) and we applied the theoretical concept of tourism destinations, which considers geographical, temporal, and compositional dimensions. Given the destination attributes and conservation values, the MPD analysis proved suitable as an aid for park managers to allocate resources efficiently and define the characteristics of park and recreation facilities. This analysis has extended our knowledge of visitors’ patterns at a large marine national park by increasing consistency and high resolution of real-time spatio-temporal data for longer periods and better representing the study population. The study results will allow park managers to implement destination management planning focused on influencing spatial distributions of visitors’ movements in a specific environment.

Impact of Food and Beverage Quality and Service Quality Towards Customer Satisfaction and Customer Retention, A Study of Five-Star Hotels

Purpose: The objective of this study is to examine how customer happiness at five-star hotels is impacted by the quality of the F&B they receive and the services they receive, which in turn affects retention. Design/methodology/approach: A convenience sampling strategy was utilized to distribute a self-administrated survey to 386 guests who used the F&B services of five-star hotels in Delhi-NCR. The model and study's hypotheses were evaluated in this study using a structural assessment modelling methodology, with AMOS 20.0 serving as the evaluation tool. Findings: The outcomes of the study show that CS and its impact on customer retention are significantly and favorably influenced by quality of the cuisine and beverages, as good as the service. Theoretical framework: This study recognizes the magnitude of numerous customer satisfaction metrics from a managerial perspective to predict customer retention or re- purchase plans in the standpoint of a five-star eatery in Delhi. Managers should use this to assess their performance and gain a better grasp of the standard of F&B services. Research Implications: Since the current study was restricted to the capital city of India and because the responses may have been subjective, it cannot be said to be completely conclusive. The study shows, from a practitioner's perspective, that the F&B services departments of five-star hotels in New Delhi, India, have performed notably well in terms of the quality of their services and to categorize the regions of difference in provision and F&B product quality. Originality/Value: This study fills a research gap on customers' opinions on the provision of food and beverages in the food and beverage division of five-star hotels. It also advances knowledge of visitors' expectations and perceptions of the value of the F&B services.

Assessing flower‐visiting arthropod diversity in apple orchards through metabarcoding of environmental DNA from flowers and visual census

AbstractArthropods are essential in maintaining healthy and productive agricultural ecosystems. Agricultural crops such as apples are typically pollinated by domesticated honey bees, but wild bees and other arthropod flower visitors also contribute to pollination. Flower visitors can also be natural enemies of crop‐pests or herbivores. Biodiversity is under pressure and knowledge of wildflower visitors is an important tool in designing orchards that can support high functional biodiversity. In our study, we assessed the diversity of arthropod flower visitors in four Danish apple orchards using both molecular and nonmolecular techniques to study arthropod communities in agricultural ecosystems. Arthropod DNA collected from apple flowers was analyzed using a DNA metabarcoding approach using the mitochondrial COI marker, while arthropod pollinators were recorded through visual assessment surveys. These complementary techniques resulted in a total of 19 arthropod taxa detected. Nonbee arthropods constituted a large proportion of arthropods detected by both methods (84%, 16 taxa). Metabarcoding detected 12 taxa and had 83% species resolution. Visual census recovered flower visiting groups to the order level (Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera) but not species level and also provided relative abundance data, which is not possible with molecular methods. We demonstrated that by utilizing both molecular and nonmolecular techniques to assess arthropod communities, we are able to obtain a broader overview of the arthropod fauna present. The methodology used and the outcome of this study can be used to inform and tailor suitable arthropod‐pest management practices in orchards to increase crop yield and maintain healthy agricultural systems.

Knowledge and practices related to antibiotic use among women in Malang, Indonesia.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a public health problem that threatens the efficacy of antibiotics. Incorrect knowledge of antibiotics may lead to their inappropriate use, hinder their effectiveness, and cause antibiotic resistance. Population-based educational campaigns have been found to have either mixed or no effect on improving knowledge and appropriate antibiotic practices, suggesting the need for more targeted approaches in tailoring education for specific subpopulations. Women are the primary caregivers of their families and are more willing to contact healthcare providers. They had greater knowledge of antibiotics and better adherence to the completion of the antibiotic regimen. Therefore, they are suitable for prioritization in a campaign program. Objective: This study examined the knowledge and practices of female visitors to health centers in Malang, Indonesia with respect to antibiotic use. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Malang, Indonesia, in July and August 2018. Data were collected from 677 women. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify the potential factors associated with antibiotic knowledge, self-medication, and completion of antibiotic regimens. Results: Overall, 82.7% of respondents were aware that antibiotics are used against bacteria, while 38.4% reported self-medication with antibiotics and 51.7% reported completing antibiotic regimens. Women with higher education, previous antibiotic use experience, and very easy accessibility to primary doctors were more likely to have high antibiotic knowledge than those with primary education, no antibiotic use in the previous year, and easy/other level of accessibility to primary doctors. Subjects residing in urban areas and with less accessibility to primary doctors were more likely to self-medicate with antibiotics. Additionally, the completion of antibiotic regimens was positively associated with access to a primary care doctor and high antibiotic knowledge. Conclusion: IF Policymakers tend to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use among women. Priority advocates are recommended for urban residents who have experiences of antibiotic use in the previous year. It is therefore important to increase their awareness, particularly regarding diseases against which antibiotics are effective, and activities such as unnecessary use of antibiotics in healthy animals, which may affect their overall effectiveness among humans. More communication channels should be included in the overall scheme to improve the public awareness and accessibility of health professionals.

Penerapan Clustering K-Means Untuk Mendukung Pengelolaan Koleksi Pada Perpustakaan Fakultas Teknik Universitas Negeri Gorontalo

One of the facility units that acts as a supporter of student learning in a university is the library. The library is a place where there are various collections of libraries that can enrich the knowledge of visitors. Thus, the management of additional collections is important in supporting this. Currently, the addition of book collections in the UNG Engineering Faculty Library is only based on references from statistical data on best-selling books, lecturer recommendations and the latest books without considering which collections are of interest to students. This can have a negative impact if there are additional collections in categories or types of books that are less desirable to read which can cause problems from the service side and financial losses of the library. Moving on from this problem, the K-Means clustering method will be applied to classify the reading interest of library visitors in this case are students. The supporting variables that will be used in the grouping will be divided according to the origin of the student majors by category of books, stock, number of books borrowed and number of books read. This grouping is expected to be a recommendation for library managers in managing the addition of book collections in the UNG Faculty of Engineering library.

Public knowledge on karst and protected areas: A case study of Tara National Park, Serbia

The aim of this paper is to present the results of our research on the knowledge and awareness of visitors and residents about karst and protected areas (PAs). The research was carried out in the Tara National Park (NP)in western Serbia, which includes karst landscapes. By conducting surveys with visitors, local population, and National Park employees, as well as interviews with local key persons, NP key persons and external experts, we got a deeper understanding of the issues related to knowledge on karst and PAs. We also investigated whether local people or visitors knew the values of karst landscapes in general and how they were informed or learned about the Tara NP. In addition, we also analysed the content of these topics in school curricula and textbooks in Serbia. We concluded that the awareness about the researched topics is unsatisfactory at present thus it should be raised to a higher level, both in the case of local people and in the case of visitors. One of the most significant ways to improve the current level is through formal, non-formal, and informal education.

INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL? FACTORS INFLUENCE ACCEPTANCE OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT RIVER FUNCTIONS IN JELAWAT PARK VISITORS

River border development is a problem in almost all cities. Previous research has discussed river border development from environmental, economic, legal, and socio-cultural aspects. This research is entered to fill the gap from the educational aspect, reviewing its influence as a potential media for river conservation to provide recommendations from problems to potential. This paper investigates the determinants that influence the level of knowledge of visitors to Taman Jelawat as a river border park on the function of the Mentaya River. Using logistic regression, the study sample consisted of 150 visitors to Taman Jelawat. The results showed that the distance from the visitor's residence to the river was an internal factor influencing the level of knowledge of river functions. While the external factors of visitors or factors from Jelawat Park became dominant with repeated visits, friends visiting, and favorite park zones as factors that could significantly influence the level of knowledge of Jelawat Park visitors. This shows that Jelawat Park as a river order park can be a good meeting point for humans and rivers. Meeting points can be useful for preserving river functions by building community knowledge about river functions.

Pengolahan Sampah Berbasis Limbah Pantai di Pulau Lemukutan

The high number of tourists who come to Lemukutan Island has a significant impact on the volume of waste. This activity aims to instill and increase the knowledge of tourism managers and visitors in waste management. The method used is socialization through the coastal activity of the Lemukutan Island community with students by picking up trash. Furthermore, the waste is separated into organic, plastic, metal, and glass waste. The results of the action of picking up garbage around Lemukutan Island obtained 90 kg of organic waste, 45 kg of plastic groups, and 77 kg of garbage, plastic/mica drink bottles, cans, and glass. The organic waste obtained is then buried in the ground to become compost. The results of this program show public awareness of a clean and healthy environment, especially in the tourist destination of Lemukutan Island. The success of this program is supported by the togetherness of the community and universities in determining strategic steps to protect the environment of Lemukutan Island.

Naked-faced Spiderhunter (Arachnothera clarae): a Flower Visitor and a Potential Pollinator of the Genus Aeschynanthus

Current knowledge of flower visitors and pollination of the Philippine lipstick vine species (Aeschynanthus cf. leucothamnos) has not been properly documented. Here, we report the first photographic evidence of floral visitation by a naked-faced spiderhunter (Arachnothera clarae) on A. cf. leucothmnos from Burauen, Leyte, Philippines. We also describe the bird’s foraging behavior and its potential as a pollinator of the lipstick vine genus Aeschynanthus.

Determinants of Recreational Activities Choice in Protected Areas

Conciliating nature conservation and tourism development is an increasingly important task for authorities in charge of managing protected areas and requires an adequate knowledge of visitors′ preferences and recreational behavior. In this light, we used data collected by means of a choice experiment to investigate recreational preferences at Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, a protected area located in Northeastern Italy. More specifically, we analyzed the determinants of visitors’ decisions to engage with different activities in the park. This is important information for park managers, as different recreational activities have both different impact on the natural heritage and different capability to generate revenue for nature conservation and for enhancing the quality of life of local communities. The findings of our study suggest that the choice of recreational activities is mainly driven by the features of recreational sites and by visitors’ personal characteristics. Concerning park features, visitors’ choices seem to be mostly driven by features directly related to each activity, such as thematic trails for hiking and climbing routes for rock climbing. Among visitors′ characteristics, we found that both previous experience with the activity and socio-demographic characteristics had a significant effect on activity choice. Overall, the results of our study can help park authorities in developing management plans aimed specifically at attracting a larger number of visitors of a certain type, which is an important tool to foster the more sustainable forms of tourism.

TOURISM BASED ON DISASTER MITIGATION IN ANYER, SERANG REGENCY

The beach in Anyer Serang is an area with a very famous marine and coastal natural tourism destination and is visited by many tourists. However, after the tsunami in December 2018, the number of tourists coming to Anyer decreased. This is because there is no guarantee of safety if tourists visit this area, lack of information about the disaster mitigation system, and the unavailability of signs/signs where and how to go when a disaster occurs, such as: evacuation routes, evacuation sites and so on. The objectives and targets of this Community Service activity are: (1) to find out whether visitors, traders, fishermen and local communities are given knowledge about disaster mitigation; (2) provide knowledge about disaster and disaster mitigation to visitors, traders, fishermen and local communities; (3) evaluation of knowledge about disaster and disaster mitigation in the tourism area of ​​Anyer, Serang Regency. This activity uses a tourism method based on individual disaster mitigation which is carried out directly at tourist attractions. In its implementation this method begins with interviews with visitors, traders, fishermen and local communities about tourist sites and disaster mitigation from entrances to exits, and several alternative evacuation routes, and several events that have occurred and may occur, then lectures - discussions (ask responsibility) related to disaster and disaster mitigation, then evaluate the knowledge of visitors, traders, fishermen and local communities about disasters and disaster mitigation. The location of this community service implementation is the Green Garden Resort Anyer tourist area, Serang Regency. This Community Service activity was carried out for visitors, traders, fishermen and local communities in April 2020. From the activities carried out, it can be concluded that the knowledge of tourists, traders, fishermen and local communities about disasters and disaster mitigation is still lacking, especially supported by the absence of guidelines. /sign disaster mitigation.

Karst Geoheritage of Tara National Park (Serbia) and Its Geotouristic Potential

By the example of Tara National Park (NP), we present how the geoheritage can and should be presented in a NP where the primary role is played by biology. Tara NP has a rich geoheritage, especially its karst phenomena, which include gorges (e.g. the 1000-m-deep Drina Gorge), plateaus with dolines, dry valleys, and uvalas as well as springs and travertines. In addition, ophiolites also enrich the geoheritage; hence, the area has a high geodiversity. Large reservoirs of the territory provide an opportunity to study the anthropogenic impact on hydrology and geomorphology. After presenting the geoheritage elements of the area, we examine the views and knowledge of local people and visitors about karst and geotourism with the help of a questionnaire survey. The results show that local residents support the further development of tourism, but geotourism is a rather new concept for them. On the contrary, tourists are more familiar with geotourism. Among the development perspectives, tourists support those that involve only minor environmental changes, that is in agreement with NP policy. Finally, we formulate some suggestions about geotourism development in the area. First, we outline some plans for new geo-educational trails and viewpoints. Second, we highlight the possibility to increase the geo-content of some already existing programs (e.g. boat tours). Third, we emphasize that geotourism of Tara should be connected to neighbouring areas. A new geopark is already under planning, which would include the area of Tara NP as well.
