Impact of Climate Change on Coastal Tourism Destinations

This research paper aims to explore the multifaceted impacts of climate change on coastal tourism destinations. Coastal regions, known for their natural beauty and recreational opportunities, are increasingly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and changes in temperature and precipitation patterns pose significant challenges to the sustainability and attractiveness of these destinations. Through an in-depth analysis of existing literature, case studies, and empirical data, this paper examines the direct and indirect consequences of climate change on coastal tourism, including impacts on infrastructure, ecosystems, local communities, and visitor experiences. Additionally, the paper explores adaptation and mitigation strategies that can help enhance the resilience of coastal tourism destinations in the face of climate change. The purpose of this study paper is to examine the significant effects that climate change will have on coastal tourist spots around the globe. Coastal regions are more susceptible to harsh weather, erosion, and habitat loss as a result of rising global temperatures and rising sea levels. The study will explore the particular difficulties that these modifications present to well-known tourist destinations, looking at the possible negative effects on the economy, the environment, and society. The study will also look at adaptation tactics used by coastal towns and the travel and tourism sector to lessen the negative consequences of climate change. The research endeavors to offer a complete understanding of the dynamic interaction between climate change and coastal tourism through the analysis of case studies from various places. In order to create sustainable tourism practices that strike a balance between the industry's economic benefits and the preservation of delicate coastal ecosystems, legislators, environmentalists, and the tourism sector need to take this research very seriously.

Research on Urban Street Network Structure Based on Spatial Syntax and POI Data

The rapid development of cities has led to increasingly problems in the road network structure of urban streets. Combining emerging big data technology with traditional street network analysis methods has become a new way to tackle it. Guilin is a famous international tourist city, and the “Two Rivers and Four Lakes” scenic area is an iconic symbol of Guilin’s scenery. Its streets connect various tourist spots. This study focused on the street’s layout of the “Two Rivers and Four Lakes” scenic area, and used a combination of spatial syntax and POI big data to analyse their spatial structure. The research results indicated that: (1) there was a positive correlation between the global integration value of the street and the POI value; (2) by combining functional density indicators with global integration analysis, streets that significantly deviate from the overall trend can be identified, and classified according to their characteristics to reveal the reasons for their contradictions; (3) we needed to propose three plans for optimizing the proportion of high street, enhancing street functions, and “improving street space” for different types of streets to ultimately realize the purpose of sustainable development of streets and cities.

Proposal of a mosquito control plan of Smir-Restinga region (north-west of Morocco)

BackgroundThe present study conducted on mosquitoes in the region of Restinga Smir, located in the north-west of Morocco, attempts to provide a scientific platform for an appropriate mosquito control plan for this tourism spot. The aim of this plan is to perfect the methods of the means of mosquito control for an effective fight against mosquitoes in this area, known for their strong nuisance (bites) and their ability to transmit several deadly diseases.ResultsMonitoring of mosquito species in the Smir marshes, especially those of public health interest, shows that they are distributed differently in the permanent and temporary environments. The establishment and analysis of their development cycles shows that their periods of activity in the different stations of the study area overlap in several cases, especially in the permanent stations. The study of the resistance of these species to the organophosphate insecticides commonly used for mosquito control in the region allowed to conclude the doses of insecticides (LC 90) that could be used for this mosquito control programme.ConclusionsThe proposed mosquito control programme gives an estimate of the timing of larval treatments and the insecticides that may be used. This plan was concluded based on the results obtained from the study of life cycles, spatial and temporal distribution of mosquitoes in the Smir area and their resistance to the organophosphate insecticides most used by public health services.

THE ROLE OF ISLAMIC DA'WAH AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SHARIA ON THE EXISTENCE OF MUSLIMS IN THE MALDIVES ISLANDS PAST AND PRESENT

Residents’ emotional and behavioral responses to visiting Maras (Varosha) as a dark tourism spot

ABSTRACT Drawing upon evolutionary explanations of emotions and social appraisal theory, the present study investigated the emotional and behavioral responses exhibited by residents of Varosha during their visits to this specific dark tourism destination located in Famagusta, North Cyprus. To accomplish this objective, a qualitative research design was employed, involving interviews conducted with a select group of these residents. For data collection, a semi-structured questionnaire was developed. Utilizing a grounded theory approach, the researchers proposed a framework that delineates four sequential stages encompassing background emotions, pre-visit emotions, emotions experienced during the visit, and subsequent behavioral outcomes. Furthermore, various external factors prevalent within society that influence the emotional and behavioral outcomes of the residents were also identified. The findings of this study demonstrated that dark tourism sites possess the potential to symbolize notions of peace, hope, and interdependent relationships, and serve as a vehicle for educating future generations about past acts of inhumanity.
