Cellular Phone Number Tracking System Based on ArcGIS and Google Maps

Over 4 billion individuals are projected to own a mobile device, with smartphone use continuing to rise around the world. Associated with this trend is the collection and usage of location information provided by these devices. The procedure for tracking and evaluating a mobile phone number is crucial for crime and terrorist attacks preventing concerns, especially in countries with deteriorated security conditions. The locational tracking information can enable real-time operational awareness and can save people's lives. In this aspect, the Geographic Information System (GIS) system is frequently used to provide intensive spatial information along the tracking process. This research aims to examine, follow up on, and trace a certain person's phone number inside a certain area using a combination of ArcGIS and Google Maps application software they are programs used to track and determine locations through the use of various types of coordinates, including latitude and longitude. In the ArcGIS program, there are several methods and algorithms used in various fields, including (locating people, determining tourist places, determining water and sewage networks, forecasting in the event of storms or floods, and many other areas), an example of these methods in the program is (Kriging method, Idw method, Spline method) and many other methods, each method is used for a specific purpose and field. In this research, the kriging method was used, which is a design algorithm that is used in many analysis and tracking processes and gives clear and accurate results. The process of determining locations in the maps used in the search depends on taking the longitude and latitude coordinates and downloading them to those maps. The maps that have been worked on in the research provide a set of basic concepts adopted in the process of tracking a particular person’s phone number, such as (the person’s location, the numbers connected to him, and the duration of a call to numbers in his contact list). The tracking system used is tested by creating a virtual contact list for a specific person’s phone number and making use of all the data in the contact list and applying it in the ArcGIS program, knowing that the duration of the contact list used is 9 months (from January to October 2021). The obtained results are analyzed and sorted in different ways to provide a wide model of the locational communication and movement activity of the tracked person. They showed that the system is efficient and can be applied to enhance the security in Iraq for tracking suspected people in crimes like terrorism, kidnapping, drugs, extortion … etc.

Place making, authenticity and behavioral intentions in a Chinese “ancient” town

Diseño/metodología/enfoqueBasándose en un contexto cultural chino y en un estudio de caso, este artículo exploró la creación de lugares turísticos en la “nueva ciudad antigua” y estableció un modelo empírico. Se utilizaron SPSS 23.0 y Smart PLS 3.0 para el análisis de datos, con el fin de examinar y verificar la relación entre las percepciones de la creación de lugares, las experiencias auténticas y las intenciones de comportamiento de los turistas en dichos lugares.PropósitoLa recreación moderna de lugares como atracciones turísticas patrimoniales es un fenómeno mundial. Partiendo de un contexto cultural chino y de un estudio de caso, este artículo examina y verifica el impacto de las percepciones de los turistas, las experiencias auténticas y las tendencias de comportamiento en dicha creación de lugares; los objetivos eran intentar crear una nueva escala para medir la autenticidad de la “nueva ciudad antigua” en el contexto chino y proponer medidas específicas de mejora.HallazgosLa investigación muestra que los visitantes chinos adquieren experiencias que perciben como auténticas cuando visitan una atracción artificial como una nueva ciudad antigua. Las dimensiones de autenticidad cultural, funcional, de producto, de valor y única se identificaron como dimensiones distintas de las experiencias de autenticidad de los turistas en una nueva ciudad antigua. Éstas constituyen una auténtica dimensión experiencial en un contexto típicamente oriental, que se explica de forma exhaustiva combinando la imagen de un tema cultural nacional con los elementos de construcción funcional creados por los lugares turísticos de una nueva ciudad antigua.Limitaciones de la investigación/implicacionesEste estudio exploró la relación entre la percepción de la creación de lugares, la experiencia de autenticidad y la intención de comportamiento, pero no analizó las relaciones entre las dimensiones de la percepción de la creación de lugares, ni entre las variables de la experiencia de autenticidad. Además, no se aprovechó la disponibilidad de información socioeconómica para buscar diferencias entre entrevistados con distintos atributos. Adicionalmente, en el contexto chino, la autenticidad tiene profundas connotaciones culturales y teóricas complejas, y el estudio de un solo caso no basta para dilucidar plenamente la importancia de este tema emergente.Implicaciones prácticasPara los productores de espacios, reforzar la construcción del entorno físico, el marketing y las escenas puede promover las experiencias de autenticidad de los turistas: la planificación y el diseño, el marketing y la mejora de las escenas promueve las experiencias de autenticidad funcional de los turistas; la planificación y el diseño, el entorno físico y el marketing mejoran las experiencias de autenticidad de los productos de los turistas; la planificación y el diseño, el marketing, el entorno físico y la mejora de las escenas pueden mejorar la percepción de valor de los turistas; se pueden crear experiencias de autenticidad únicas en el marketing y las escenas de las nuevas ciudades antiguas.Implicaciones socialesCiertos aspectos de la creación de lugares en las nuevas ciudades antiguas pueden mejorar la percepción de valor de los turistas. En primer lugar, puede reforzarse el sistema escénico de los lugares de interés, atendiendo a los sentidos visuales, olfativos y de otro tipo de los turistas. En segundo lugar, se puede crear un entorno físico que tenga un significado cultural étnico local para que tanto los residentes locales como los turistas puedan percibir el valor del lugar. En tercer lugar, el trazado racional de las nuevas ciudades antiguas debe establecerse y mantenerse mediante la participación continua de equipos profesionales de planificación y diseño. En cuarto lugar, las acciones diarias de marketing y gestión influyen en la experiencia de valor del turista.Originalidad/valorEn primer lugar, este estudio construyó y validó el modelo y la relación entre la “percepción de la creación de lugares, la experiencia auténtica y la intención de comportamiento,” lo que confirmó la importante influencia de la percepción de la creación de lugares en la experiencia auténtica de los turistas. En segundo lugar, basándose en el contexto chino, el análisis factorial exploratorio extrajo cinco dimensiones de la experiencia de autenticidad turística (autenticidad cultural, funcional, única, del producto y del valor), que enriquecieron las connotaciones de la experiencia de autenticidad. En tercer lugar, este estudio vinculó eficazmente las percepciones de los turistas sobre la creación de lugares, con la experiencia real y con las intenciones de comportamiento de los turistas.

Co-creating communities of place in second home tourism

ABSTRACT The paper contributes to extant research by conceptualising and extending our understanding of communities of place and particularly the role of second home owners in the co-creation of these. Previous research has dealt with how translocated residents, such as second home owners, participate in co-creation activities with permanent residents. Despite considerable attention given to second home owners impacts on local communities, research that delves into the intricacies of their participation is missing. Specifically, there is a gap in understanding the diverse ways second home owners engage in the co-creation, and sometimes co-destruction, of communities of place. Utilising longitudinal data gathered from 2016 to 2022 in two second home areas in Denmark, this paper explores the defining aspects of these dynamics, synthesising them into distinct roles that second home owners can assume in these co-creation processes. Three overlapping co-creative/co-destructive roles of second home owners in communities of place that transcend places and contexts are defined and explored: custodians, holiday consumers and innovators. Contrary to prior assumptions, our research challenges the notion that specific groups of second home owners inherently contribute more positively to a community, as we find that each role carries the potential for both co-creative and co-destructive outcomes.

Untapped Location Discovery on Social Media by Combining Geospatial Clustering with Natural Language Processing

This methodology combines geospatial clustering and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to create a framework for discovering unexplored geotags in social media. The framework contains the collection of data from social media platforms, the preprocessing of data with Pandas, Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) and SpaCy libraries for the NLP analysis as well as for sentiment analysis and named entity recognition, followed by spatial clustering with Density-based Space Clustering of Noise Applications (DBSCAN), K-Means and HDBSCAN algorithms, then visualising with Matplotlib and Folium libraries. The data analysis and statistics were done using Pandas and NumPy libraries, and exploration through the selection and collection of more data based on the previous step. In addition, a prediction model has been developed to predict a location cluster using its name by comparing it to the preprocessed comma-separated values data file. Currently, there are certain locations like small-scale hospitals or unknown tourist places which are not currently tagged on available maps applications. This framework can be useful for researchers and policy makers to identify those locations and gain insights from social media data and find its potential for decision-making in various fields.

ETHNIC TOURISM: THE VALUES AND MEANINGS OF THE ORGANIZATION IN RUSSIAN REGIONS AND ABROAD

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the development of ethnic tourism in the Primorsky Territory at the present stage. Ethnic tourism today is considered as a way to preserve and popularize the ethnocultural heritage of peoples. The article characterizes the approaches to the term “ethnic tourism” of domestic and foreign researchers. It is worth noting that in the world literature the terms “aboriginal tourism” and “indigenous tourism” are found, which can be used synonymously in relation to ethnic tourism. In the domestic literature, the term “ethnic and ethnocultural tourism” is used. In world practice, unique experience has been accumulated in the development of tourism in places where indigenous peoples live. In the Russian Federation, ethnic tourism, especially in terms of indigenous peoples, is also gaining popularity. First of all, this is due to the multinationality of the state. Primorsky Krai has great potential for the development of this form of tourism. On the territory of the region, there are ethnocultural complexes, national parks, and villages where indigenous peoples live preserving their unique ethnic culture. The external attractiveness of ethnic tourism, upon deeper analysis, demonstrates features that are manifested in both the positive and negative impact of its development on the traditional culture of the Aboriginal people. The paper concludes that at the present stage of the development of ethnic tourism, there are a number of other problems that hinder its development. In the first place, this is the inaccessibility of the places of traditional residence of indigenous peoples, the underdevelopment of transport infrastructure, the consequences of the pandemic, and the ambiguous attitude of the bearers of traditional culture towards ethnic tourism.

Research on Environmental Responsibility Behavior of Tourists in Seaside Ecological Scenic Spots--The Case of Shenzhen Bay Park

Abstract There is a symbiotic relationship between tourists’ environmental responsibility behavior and tourism’s ecological environment. If tourists consciously maintain the tourism ecological environment, their role in environmental protection will be transformed from a “liability” to an “asset”. Based on the SOR model and relevant research, this paper proposes three stimulus variables for tourists’ environmental responsibility behavior: the image of tourist places, environmental emotion, and local attachment. The initial questionnaire for each variable was created, and the final reasonable questionnaire was determined by reliability testing. A survey of tourists in Shenzhen Bay Park was then conducted and analyzed. The results of the study indicate that tourists in Shenzhen Bay Park exhibit high levels of environmentally responsible behavior. The results of the structural equation test showed that there was a significant influence path relationship (P<0.01) between tourist place image, environmental emotion, and place attachment to environmental responsibility behavior. It has also been found that place attachment has a significant mediating effect on tourist place image, environmental emotion, and tourists’ environmental responsibility behavior. This paper proposes the enhancement strategy of tourists’ environmental responsibility behavior to provide a reference for the strategy planning of related departments, which is conducive to the realization of the sustainable development of seaside ecological scenic spots.

MEANING OF PLACE ON ENHANCING RELIGIOUS TOURISM IN THE MASJID RAYA BAITURRAHMAN BANDA ACEH

Tourism has an important meaning for a region because of the unique qualities and characteristics of that region. When tourism becomes one of the supports for economic success, people ask whether tourism in the area is worthy of being a tourist spot? one of which is religious tourism, which is a type of tourism that has a close interest in the religious side and places of worship. Religious tourism has its characteristics, both from the environment of the tourist area, the physical buildings, and the local culture of the local community. Banda Aceh is the capital of Aceh Province which has the nickname Veranda of Mecca, this city has a religious tourism area which is the research area, namely the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque, which is now a religious tourist attraction that is the pride of the local community. The meaning of a place is very important in developing tourism, the presence of distinctive characteristics is the attraction of the place, and it has a lot of knowledge and experience for tourists. The meaning of a place for local tourists and foreign tourists will be different, due to the desire to visit and the experience of being there. Therefore, with research to find out the meaning of tourist attractions for visitors and religious tourism destinations, there will be a comparison of the level of visits by local and foreign tourists, so that the meaning of the place can be seen from the visiting experience, building characteristics for visitors and social interactions. This issue is a complex matter to discuss. As for what will be researched in this place, attachment research is the meaning of place. This research aims to determine the meaning of place attachment to the Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in Banda Aceh on the development of religious tourism. The type of research applied in this research is a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative nature obtained from literature studies, distributing questionnaires, field observations, and interviews; distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents, namely tourists and local communities; carrying out field observations at the research location; and conducted in-depth interviews with eight main informants, namely local community leaders, tourism practitioners, government officials, and academics. This will be analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods to produce comparative findings through the data obtained. This literature review can be applied by stakeholders as an evaluation tool in developing tourism, especially religious tourism in an area.

Demand Forecasting and Project Development of Sports Tourism Based on User Behavior under the Perspective of Harmonious Coexistence of Human and Nature

Abstract Man and nature are interconnected and interdependent. The naturalization of man reflects the scientific nature of the landscape, the development of ecotourism is to establish the development of man and nature in harmony and unity of the development of ideas. This paper proposes measures to enhance the tourism experience based on the above concept. After a series of operations, such as similarity calculation and data cleaning, the user category, consumption level, and geographic location preference are calculated to establish a user model and portrait based on behavioral analysis. Based on LASSO penalty regression, the link between covariates is incorporated into the penalty term to complete the optimization and improvement of the LASSO regression model. Associate the user preference degree model with the tourism demand prediction model based on user preference. The model is applied in practice, and the average error rate for the number of tourists predicted by the LASSO regression coefficient is about 9.9%, which is smaller than the average error rate of the comparison model. Based on the results of the demand prediction, strategies related to the development of sports tourism projects are proposed, and the impact of sports tourism projects on the environment is evaluated. Based on the IPA analysis method, the user’s tourism experience of the subject area is assessed, and the user is more concerned about the internal transportation of the tourist place, with I and P values of 12.455 and 1.457, respectively, and the performance effect of the subject area in this point is poor, which needs to be solved in time.

Innovative Cultural Tourism in the Perspective of Cultural Ecology in the Context of Big Data: Theory, Strategy, Practice

Abstract Taking cultural ecology as the carrier of tourism resources, it fully embodies the significance of the synergistic development of cultural tourism ecology for the innovation of the cultural tourism model. The article establishes a cultural tourism ecological synergy model by integrating cultural ecology and cultural tourism under the guidance of the theory of the life cycle of tourist places and industrial innovation. Taking the nine provinces of the Yellow River as the research object, its cultural tourism data are collected and pre-processed, cultural tourism keywords are extracted by the TextRank algorithm, and the LDA model is established to obtain cultural tourism themes. The Skip-gram model was combined with the GCN network to establish a cultural tourism emotional image perception model, and the Moran index and nearest-neighbor index were introduced to analyze the spatial structure and regional evolution of cultural tourism attractions. The keywords of cultural tourism are mainly embodied in ecology and culture, which all appear more than 1,000 times, and the percentage of tourists’ most concerned cultural tourism themes is 22.15%, and most of the nearest neighbor indices of the spatial structure of the attractions at different levels are less than 1, which is cohesive. The Moran index of tourists’ footprints in 2022 is 0.106, the footprint coverage rate is 0.26 percentage points higher than that in 2012, and tourists’ positive emotional evaluation of cultural tourism destinations reaches 80%. Based on cultural ecology, realizing the synergistic development of cultural tourism and ecology is the way to innovate cultural tourism.

Research on Regional Tea Tourism Product Development Strategy Combined with RMP Analysis

Abstract Tea culture tourism perfectly combines agricultural economic development and cultural tourism, a new trend in today’s tourism industry development. Based on the life cycle theory of tourist places and RMP theory, this paper comprehensively analyzes the three core dimensions of regional tea culture tourism product development: resources, market and products, using Province F as a case study. In the resource dimension, the combination assignment method containing preference information was used to determine the weights, and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model was applied to comprehensively evaluate the tea culture tourism resources. The market dimension analysis covers tea tourism’s development status and the characteristics of tourists’ travel behavior. For the product dimension, a quadrant diagram analysis was conducted using the IPA model by combining tourists’ perceived importance and satisfaction with the product. The study results show that Province F excels in tea tourism product development, with a comprehensive resource evaluation score of 90.756 points. Between 2010 and 2019, the tea tourism market received tourists at an average annual growth rate of 12.28%, reflecting the strong growth momentum of the market. Regarding product development, the average values of tourists’ perceived importance and satisfaction were 3.99 and 3.78, respectively, indicating that tourists’ overall satisfaction with tea tourism products is high. The study will help further enhance the attractiveness and competitiveness of tea tourism products and promote sustainable tourism development.

Self-Efficacy on Accessibility for Sustainable Tourism in Pangururan District, Samosir Regency, Indonesia

Sustainable tourism has emerged as a major focus in the development of the tourism sector worldwide, considering the impact of tourism activities on local communities and the environment. Accessibility is crucial to tourism growth and might affect visitor interest and trust if not effectively supplied. Accessibility in tourism includes highways, docks, parking, pedestrian walkways, and special needs facilities. This study examines sustainable tourism accessibility self-efficacy in Pangururan District, Samosir Regency, Indonesia. This mixed-methods study sent 268 questionnaires to tourists and locals and interviewed tourist site managers, Pangururan regional administration, tourist village leaders, and the Samosir Regency tourism office. Pangururan District’s accessibility fails sustainable tourism requirements. Roads, ports, parking, and pedestrian walkways are well-developed, but special needs facilities are lacking. Thus, more must be done to make tourism places accessible and enjoyable for all tourists, including those with special needs. To improve tourist accessibility in Pangururan District, infrastructure and amenities should be improved.

Urban renewal to turistification: Oaxaca de Juárez's historicwdownwtow.en

The city of Oaxaca, renowned for its rich history and cultural diversity, has undergone a major transformation in recent years. Seeking urban renewal and increased tourism, authorities have dramatically altered the character of the historic city center. This study analyzes Oaxaca's urban renewal and resulting touristification, as well as the socioeconomic and cultural impacts on local residents, with a focus on the historic downtown. Qualitative research methods like interviews, observations, and analysis of historical documents were used, along with quantitative data assessing tourism's effects. While urban renewal can provide economic revitalization, an overemphasis on tourism leads to ‘touristification,’ generating tension between tourism interests and local needs. The findings indicate a rise in Oaxaca's tourism, attracting investment and renewal, but also leading to increased housing costs, resident displacement, and potential cultural loss. Citizens are divided: some welcome economic growth, while others believe tourism undermines Oaxaca's essence. This analysis aims to understand the interplay between urban renewal and tourism in places with deep cultural and historical roots.

AN ECO-TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE STRETCH OF COASTAL AREA FROM DIGHA TO PETUAGHAT, WEST BENGAL

In the stretch of Digha to Petuaghat coastal area of Purba Medinipur district, W.B. is a progressive geomorphic unit. Coastal area includes of land-sea interaction with complex geo-environmental emplacement. Here many geomorphic processes (sea wave, wind, flood, shifting of sand dune, shifting of shoreline, salt water invasion etc.) show and which are most determinant to change of landuse pattern, agricultural practice and Ecotourism. Now agricultural land, fishing land, grazing land, forest land, recreational land and also settlement are changing due to various coastal geomorphic process. Crop cultivation, horticulture, aquaculture are affected due to action of geomorphic hazards. Eco-tourism means tourism based on an interest in observation of nature. This coastal tract is an attractive tourist place where large number of tourists can rejuvenate yourself in the company of sea, sand and sun in the agreeable open air.So greater pressure of tourist puts more pressure on environment which also put harmful effect on coastal biodiversity. If the development of tourism industry is not properly planned and managed, tourism itself produces a myriad of negative effect include the every tourist destination.

Tourist perceptions of tourism destinations choice and loyalty: A perspective on developing sustainable rural tourism in Bangladesh

Tourist perception refers to the emotional and psychological evaluations that tourists form as a result of their encounters with the destination, including its attractions, people, culture, and services. It can significantly influence tourism destination choice and loyalty, which means returning to the same destination or recommending it to others. The primary objective of this research endeavor is to investigate the perspectives held by tourists regarding their selection of destinations and their loyalty towards these destinations. The study specifically concentrates on the advancement of sustainable rural tourism within the context of Bangladesh. The study was based on quantitative methods, the study's premise, and many statistical measurements, such as descriptive statistics, validity, reliability, regression analysis, and the study's hypothesis. The results of the study indicate that the main determinants of tourist site selection and revisiting the tourist spots are based on the dynamic service qualities and availability of basic facilities at the tourist spots, as well as the higher propensity to reenter rural tourist places and localities. The implications for stakeholders encompass the necessity of allocating resources to develop quality services, enhance the basic facilities in tourist spots, and develop comprehensive marketing strategies aimed at promoting rural areas as attractive tourist destinations. This research makes a valuable contribution to the creation of effective strategies for sustainable development in the rural tourism industry of Bangladesh by examining tourist attitudes.
