Quality Management in GIS

This paper centers on the crucial elements of quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) in the domain of geographic information systems (GIS). A dependable and resilient GIS database is at the core of any spatial system, and it is of utmost significance across a wide range of fields, including Hajj, Umrah, tourism, real estate, and natural resource management. Given the inherent intricacy of spatial databases and their requirement for specialized technical upkeep, applications that depend on them also necessitate specialized technical expertise. To address inconsistencies within the database, best practices for database maintenance are implemented. This paper presents a systematic approach to the updating of comprehensive spatial databases and provides an overview of the quality procedures that are essential to this process. It also discusses the various safeguard mechanisms that are employed to enhance data consistency, completeness, integrity, and other qualitative aspects. The primary objective is to establish a customer-focused quality standard for spatial databases. Considering the broad definition of quality as "the extent to which project deliverables meet requirements," GIS projects face the challenge of precisely defining specifications and relevant quality standards that are tailored to specific project types and deliverables. The increasing demand for digital maps and GIS applications in Egypt emphasizes the urgent need for quality control and quality assurance procedures. This paper describes the implementation of these procedures in the creation of ten geological maps of Egypt at a scale of 1:500,000. This collaborative effort involves Cairo University and the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation in Egypt. Additionally, this project provides an internship opportunity for students in the College of Engineering, Civil Department, enabling them to gain practical experience in the field.

Стратегическое управление региональными туристскими ресурсами как фактор развития территории в новых условиях

Based on the analysis of regional tourism strategies, the article emphasizes the challenges and benefits of the strategic approach to tourism development. The authors analyzed various approaches to strategic management of tourism resources and identified current trends and contradictions. The conceptual provisions for strategic management of tourism development in the region based on subject-object and systemic approaches are presented. The methodological basis of the study is presented by the results of research by domestic and foreign specialists, in which a comprehensive analysis of the conditions and specifics of strategic management of regional development with the identification of promising opportunities for the integration of relevant innovative methods in the regional social and economic system was carried out. In accordance with this, the following general theoretical and special research methods were applied in the course of the study: statistical analysis, generalization, grouping, systematization, deduction, and induction. The study showed that the methodology for the promotion of tourism resources requires the improvement of strategic management tools, especially in the current context of an increasingly turbulent external environment and the transition to modern methods and models of territorial development. Taking into consideration the two main directions of development of the tourism industry, i.e., external and internal tourism, the following factors of strategic development are expected to be analyzed: the geographical position of the region, the development of transport infrastructure, and natural and climatic features. External factors such as sanctions, pandemics, and other restrictions also affect the formation and development of tourism potential. Thus, in the context of the restrictions caused by the pandemic, domestic tourism grew considerably. Government-supported regional initiatives in the form of the National Project “Tourism and Hospitality Industry” became a strategic stimulus for regional tourism. The management of the strategy for the development of regional tourism resources involves the development of a desired image of the tourism sector in the region, the identification of priority areas, and effective promotion tools based on the methods of territorial marketing.

Research on the Impact of Tourism on the Urban-rural Income Disparity and Countermeasures

At present, the most important issue for economic development is how to ensure the coordinated development of all aspects. At present, the country's focus has shifted from all-round moderate prosperity to the issue of average development. Therefore, how to ensure and implement the average of resources and the exploration of implementation plans are currently more important research. Tourism is a recent emerging economic industry and plays a great role in promoting China's economic level. Starting from the current development status of China, this paper comprehensively analyzes whether tourism will affect the income difference between urban and rural residents through literature retrieval and case analysis. Explore how this element can be positively promoted. After research, we conclude that the development of tourism can indeed promote the balance of urban and rural development, but at the same time, it will also cause the problem of improper resource development and mismatch between the speed of tourism development. Therefore, countries need to respond to the situation. For example, strengthen the management of tourism resources, strengthen the publicity and governance of scenic areas, and so on. These optimization policies will definitely effectively alleviate and optimize the existing differences and differences, and realize the average quality of life of residents as soon as possible.

Analysis of the Current Situation of Career Development in the Tourism Industry

Human resource management in tourism has always been one of the concerns of tourism development. With its high coverage, tourism links jobs in multiple industries. There are many problems in the previous tourism industry that have not been resolved until now, which has formed a bad customary perception. The current tourism industry is affected by the pandemic, and the talents in the market have also seen the instability of the tourism industry. Changing people's perceptions of jobs in the tourism industry is an important task in retaining talent and ensuring the positive development of the industry. There is still a lack of summarization and solutions to the existing problems, so this study discusses these two aspects. Different divisions of labor in the tourism industry face different difficulties and solutions. Front-line employees should be more inclined to improve skills and accumulate experience and maintain a positive attitude towards the industry. Program managers should apply the principles of sustainable talent development to the current state of human resource management.

Investigating the Spatial-Temporal Variation of Pre-Trip Searching in an Urban Agglomeration

Search engines have been the primary tool for online information search before traveling. Timely detection and the control of peak tourist flows in scenic areas prevent safety hazards and the overconsumption of tourism resources due to excessive tourist clustering. This study focuses on the spatial-temporal interactions between the pre-trip stage and the after-arrival stage to investigate online information search behavior. Big data obtained from mobile roaming and search engines provide precise data on daytime and city scales, which enabled this paper to examine the relationship between daily tourist arrivals and their pre-trip searching from 40 cities within the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. This study had several original results. First, tourists generally search for tourist information 2–8 days before arriving at destinations, while tourist volume and SVI from source cities show distance attenuation. Second, SVI is a precursor to changes in tourist volume. The precursory time rises with the increase of traffic time spatially. Third, we validated a VAR model and improved its accuracy by constructing it based on the spatial-temporal differentiation of search features. These findings would enhance the management and preservation of tourism resources and promote the sustainable development of tourism destinations.

Rural tourism in Bali: towards a conflict-based tourism resource typology and management

ABSTRACT Although conflicts over resource utilisation have been widely discussed, tourism resource typology has not been explored clearly from a conflict-based perspective. Based on a case study of two Balinese villages, this research extends the previous literature by exploring tourism resource typology and management. The findings reveal four typologies with a two-dimensional matrix: activity and facility-based resources on one axis and localised and ubiquitous resources on another. The resource management model applies three steps: planning, regulating and implementing. The findings contribute to practical suggestions about rural tourism development within a strong spiritual context by emphasising spiritual resources and development. They also encourage a counterbalance towards spiritual development and suggest a triadic intermingling in resource management. Several directions for future research are suggested in the rural tourism domain, especially for developing countries.

Residents’ perceptions of sustainable tourism governance and development

This study describes the support and participation of the residents in Saranda and Ksamil (Albania) in the planning and development process of tourism as a key element for the sustainable management of tourism resources (Ahmeti et al., 2019). The purpose of this study is the analysis of residents’ perceptions of the governance and development of sustainable tourism. To evaluate the structural relationship between the variables, the Likert scale, and the nominal measure were used, and the exogenous variables were considered as predictors for the endogenous variable. This study found the independent variable to have a significant impact on the residents’ behavior (95% level of significance), so we can say that the attitudes of the community about the environment affect community support for sustainable tourism development in their area. This area gets direct and sharpest visible impacts so far, from tourist development. There is an attractive landscape for tourists, and it is at the core of the debates on sustainable tourism development planning. The results of this study will present to the local government in Saranda to see that the attitudes of the residents towards the environment and nature are in harmony with nature.
