Land Use, Built-Up, and Vegetation Index in North Halmahera Regency through Spatio-Temporal Analysis

Monitoring land use, buildings, and vegetation index of ecotourism areas in North Halmahera can support planning space utilization in urban areas for tourist areas as the concept of land use management and urban planning. This study offers ideas for analyzing the distribution of buildings, vegetation index, and land use in the mangrove ecotourism area of North Halmahera Regency using the spatio-temporal analysis method. The spatio-temporal analysis method comprises several stages: data selection, preprocessing, data integration, spatial analysis, temporal analysis, spatio-temporal analysis, data visualization, interpretation and understanding, and data visualization. The results of this study show that changes in the livelihood strategy of local people, from farmers and fishermen to traders, also affect land use patterns, from agricultural activities to economic activities, which triggers an increase in the number of buildings for production activities to product distribution. The implications of these findings on ecotourism development programs and policies and infrastructure development in the North Halmahera Regency are to consider community livelihoods and space or land use behavior in ecotourism areas based on vegetation, soil, and building index values. Thus, the intensification of building distribution and changes in vegetation index values from 2013-2023 reflect changes in people's livelihood strategies from agrarian activities to trade and from fishermen's activities to tourism transportation service providers.

POI Route Recommendation Model Based on Symmetrical Naive Bayes Classification Spatial Accessibility and Improved Cockroach Swarm Optimization Algorithm

The commonly used POI route recommendation methods usually ignore the effects of tourists’ interests and transportation geographical conditions, and so may not output the optimal results. To solve the problems, we propose a POI route recommendation model based on symmetrical Naive Bayes classification spatial accessibility (NBCSA) and an improved cockroach swarm optimization algorithm (ICSOA), aiming to recommend POI routes that satisfy tourists’ interests and have the lowest travel costs under tourism transportation geographical conditions. Using the historical POIs visited by tourists as the training set, we construct an improved symmetrical Naive Bayes classification algorithm (NBCA), and the POIs in the destination city are divided into categories by tourists’ preferences. Then we propose an improved NBCSA model to calculate the spatial accessibility field strength (SAFS) for each category’s POIs. Based on the recommended POIs, we propose the ICSOA to recommend optimal POI routes. The experiment verifies that the proposed algorithm can effectively classify the POIs and recommend POIs that best match the tourists’ interests and produce the lowest travel costs. Compared with the TCA and GDA method, the proposed algorithm can output the POI routes with lower travel costs and has higher algorithm execution efficiency. Among the output optimal routes, the proposed algorithm can reduce costs by 5.62% at the lowest and 52.25% at the highest.

Bridging the Gap Between Legitimacy and Neutralisation Strategies in Sustainability Reporting

Amid global sustainability challenges, such as climate change, companies operating in different industries face increasing demands for accountability and transparency. To meet these demands, sustainability reporting (SR) has become a mainstream business practice in communicating companies’ positive and negative sustainability impacts. This short paper aims to increase our understanding of how companies may release negative information while seeking to maintain their legitimacy. For this purpose, the paper bridges the gap between legitimacy strategies, impression management and neutralisation techniques by reviewing their associated literature. The nature of neutralisation techniques and how organisations use them in the SR context is underexplored by scholars. Finally, the paper presents prospective discussions of an ongoing study that examines negative sustainability disclosure in the tourism transportation context, namely the airlines.

Study on the Tourist Traffic Characteristics of People Entering Tibet and People in the Area

Because Tibet's unique geographic location creates different modes of tourist transportation, this paper aims to study its tourist travel modes as well as transportation accessibility to tourist attractions. It has two parts: in-region and out-of-region.(This article "in-region" refers to in Tibet and "out-of-region" refers to out of Tibet.)Research on the transportation mode of people entering Tibet from outside the region: calculate the utility value of different travel transportation modes, establish a sharing rate model to get the respective rate of transportation modes entering Tibet, and get the characteristics of travel transportation outside the region based on the above research. Research on travel traffic network of people in the region: observe the spatial distribution of tourist attractions in each area of Tibet based on the differentiation of Tibet's administrative regions, establish a spatial distribution model of attractions, and further study the traffic network characteristics of tourist attractions in the region with the distribution of attractions; analyze the accessibility and reachability of tourist attractions in each urban area of Tibet to study the characteristics of the travel traffic network in the region. In this paper, it is found that travelers going to Tibet mainly rely on the railroad to enter Tibet, and the attractions in the area are gathered and the tourist traffic is mainly centered in Lhasa, forming a tourist traffic network throughout the whole Tibet area. The study of Tibet's tourism traffic characteristics is of great significance to the layout of tourism traffic modes outside the region and the optimization of tourism traffic network in the region.

Implementation of Tourism Development Strategy After the Covid-19 Pandemic in Sibolga City

This study aims to examine the results of implementing strategies in developing tourism after the Covid-19 pandemic in Sibolga City. In previous studies, a model of tourism development strategy after the Covid-19 pandemic in the Lake Toba Region has been examined using the theory of the basic components of tourism consisting of tourist objects and attractions, accommodation, transportation / tourist transportation, tourist facilities and facilities, and tourism infrastructure (promotion, marketing and policy). Lake Toba and Sibolga are marine tourism destinations. This research applies the tourism development strategy found in previous research to Sibolga City. After the implementation, an evaluation was carried out through the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) questionnaire method, the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method and also interviews with tourists and tourism stakeholders involved in Sibolga City tourism. The results obtained from the calculation of the CSI value are 68.57%, in the range of 0.66% – 0.80%. The meaning of this value is that tourists are satisfied with the attributes measured by their satisfaction level. The average conformity score is 83.46%, meaning that the performance achieved and the importance of attributes according to travellers have shown excellent results. Through the FGD, it can be seen that the implementation of tourism development strategies from previous research in the Lake Toba Area is also appropriate

An Empirical Study of Purchase Intention of Macau Tourists Based on Multiple Linear Regression -- Take the Ruins of St. Paul’s as an example

The rapid development of Macao’s tourism economy has attracted a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to visit famous scenic spots in Macau, including the Ruins of St. Paul. The research object is to explore the impact of tourist factors on tourist attractions in Macau on their purchase intentions: (1) the impact of tourists coming to Macao on the local economy; (2) whether the infrastructure, service quality and other factors of local attractions in Macao are trusted by tourists; (3) based on the above factors, the willingness of tourists to consume in Macao. In order to study the future development direction of Macau’s tourism economy as well as to discover the existing problems in the tourism industry, this paper takes the Ruins of St. Paul’s attraction as the blueprint of the survey, and uses multiple linear regression to quantitatively analyze the six dimensions of Infrastructure Construction (IC), Public Transportation Services (PTS), Marketing Services (MS), Tourism Supervision Services (TSS), Perceived Trust Level (PTL), and Visitors’ Willingness to Spend Money at the Attraction (The six dimensions of PI) were quantitatively analyzed to derive the level of satisfaction regarding travelers’ visit to the St. Paul’s Pavilion, and ultimately the path coefficients associated with each variable. The results of the study revealed that :(1) When tourists visit the Ruins of St. Paul in Macao, the infrastructure, public transportation, market services, and trust of tourists in the attraction have a significant positive impact on the purchase decision of tourists, while the local tourism services have no significant impact on the purchase decision. (2) There is a positive correlation between tourists’ evaluation of the infrastructure, public transportation, market services and tourism supervision of the big three buses, and (3) the above factors are positively related to their trust in scenic spots and willingness to buy, indicating that there is a certain relationship between different variables. The results of this analysis and the corresponding conclusions drawn provide a reference for enhancing the overall tourism development of the city of Macau.

Revolutionizing Mountainous Countries’ Transportation: CASWAT-G Surface Ropeway for Multifaced Application

Mountainous regions often present formidable barrier to traditional transportation system, limiting access and impending economic growth. In this regard, a new technology called CASWAT-G (Circulating Cable Supported Up-down Walking Technology by Using Gravity) surface ropeway (CSR) is one that uses simple parts and eases up-down walking because of the harvested gravitational potential energy (GPE) from the descending user. Different prototype test result showed the efficiency of the CSR’s machine is above 80%. Technically verified CSR is very much useful to use for transportation to support people living in the hilly region and for the tourism trade. This technology is very simple, low cost, eco-friendly, sustainable and can be set up quickly with minimum environment impact.

Characteristics and drivers of changes in the carbon footprint of urban tourism in the post-COVID-19 era: A case study of Xi'an

COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control measures provide valuable social experimental opportunities for exploring the factors that affect changes in the urban tourism carbon footprint (TCFu). The study uses the carbon emission coefficient and energy consumption coefficient to calculate the TCFu of the transport, accommodation, catering, and recreational activity sectors, taking Xi'an from 2014 to 2020 as a case study. It analyzes the characteristics of the carbon footprint changes and their drivers in each sector. The results show that compared to before the outbreak of the pandemic, in the period afterwards, the TCFu decreased by 60.46%. The carbon footprint of tourism transport decreased the most. Carbon intensity has a significant inhibitory effect on the TCFu growth, and as drivers, the consumption level and population size shifted from promoting to inhibiting the TCFu. It emphasizes the importance of developing low-carbon tourism transportation to reduce the TCFu, providing a scientific basis for promoting the green transformation of urban tourism.

China's CO2 emissions: An innovative framework for analyzing carbon reduction in sustainable tourism under the guidance of the United Nations' sustainable development goals

Currently, insufficient attention has been given to reducing tourism's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (TCEs). Therefore, here, taking China as a case, we analyzed tourism's carbon reduction and sustainability by developing an innovative framework that incorporates social network analysis and the logarithmic mean Divisia index under the guidance of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The results showed that the TCEs exhibited an overall growth trend. East China had the highest share. West China exceeded central China after 2014. Structurally, tourism transportation was the largest emitter (more than 80%). The TCEs' spatial network was increasingly stable. Especially, the developed regions such as Jiangsu, Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, and Zhejiang were the centers of the network. So, these should be the key areas for CO2 reduction. Tourist scale was the main driver with a contribution of 165%. Tourism consumption (35%) and sectoral structure (3%) followed it. Inversely, energy intensity was the most important inhibiting factor (−85%), and spatial distribution structure (−18%) followed it. Therefore, it can be concluded that the new analytical framework can be effectively and successfully applied in China. And, some reasonable, low-carbon, or sustainable development countermeasures can be proposed for China's tourism.

Bibliometric analysis of carsharing and car rental research in the field of urban transportation and tourism transportation

This paper reviews recent carsharing and car rental research bibliometrically. The study examines the evolution, structure, and boundaries of Web of Science-reviewed carsharing and car rental research. VOSviewer and SPSS 22 evaluated 204 vehicle rental and 574 carsharing articles in the WOS core collection. A gradual rise in car rental and carsharing studies is shown. China and the US produce the most carsharing and rental publications, respectively. China is the most productive country for carsharing publications and the United States for car rental publications. While China and the United States cooperate on carsharing, the United States cooperates with other countries (Canada, Germany, England, France, Australia, Portugal, Taiwan, Israel) on car rental. Co-occurrence network analysis shows that carsharing has five main themes: sharing economy, electric vehicles, transportation, shared mobility, and mobility as a service, while car rental research has four main themes: revenue management, transportation, quality service, and e-commerce. Carsharing and car rental studies share transportation themes. Carsharing subjects include transportation, engineering, business economics, environmental science ecology, science technology, and computer science, while car rental subjects include management, operations research, economics, transportation, business, transportation science technology, business finance, engineering, tourism, and environmental science. Car rental concerns vary by management, tourism, and finance. Tourism literature neglects car hire. This study thoroughly reviews 26 years of automobile rental and 22 years of carsharing literature. Thus, it can help academics comprehend automobile rental and carsharing studies and direct future research.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Transport Accessibility, and Accommodation Accessibility on the Energy Intensity of Public Tourist Transport

The article concerns the recognition of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, transport accessibility, and accommodation availability on the energy intensity of domestic travel by tourists using public transport in spatial and dynamic relations. The article formulated five research questions: (1) Does the improvement of transport accessibility reduce the energy intensity of public tourist transport? (2) Does the improvement of accommodation availability affect the reduction of the energy intensity of domestic tourist trips of Polish residents? (3) Has COVID-19 significantly changed the energy intensity of public tourist transport? (4) Are there any spatial effects of energy intensity of domestic tourist trips of Polish inhabitants resulting from the flow of tourists between regions (voivodeships) of Poland? (5) What would be the path of energy intensity patterns of public tourist transport if fortuitous events did not occur? The study covered 16 Polish voivodeships in 2017–2021. A comprehensive approach was used, combining exploratory analysis of spatial data with regional econometrics, spatial statistics, and spatial econometrics (gravitational model of spatial convergence of energy intensity of public transport of tourists). It has been verified that the energy intensity of domestic tourist travel by public transport is the most sensitive to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the most flexible to changes in transport accessibility. It is less sensitive to changes in accommodation availability. The occurrence of spatial convergence, i.e., the blurring of differences in energy intensity patterns between the analyzed voivodeships, was also identified. An increase in energy intensity in voivodeships defined as neighboring voivodeships by 1% will result in an increase in energy intensity in the i-th voivodeship by 0.2688% on average, which results from the spatial effects of changes in mobility and tourist flows (tourism). Consumption patterns shaped in previous periods also have a significant impact on energy intensity.
