Digital nomadism as a new part of the visitor economy: The case of the “digital nomad capital”Chiang Mai, Thailand

AbstractDigital nomadism allows individuals to travel worldwide while using various forms of information technology (IT) to work digitally. Places like Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Canggu, Bali/Indonesia, have gained popularity among digital nomads in the past decade. In contributing to the economies of local communities, these nomads, with their unique characteristics, are an interesting, new visitor type. Governments worldwide are starting to recognise the potential of digital nomadism to improve local visitor economies. However, the impacts of digital nomadism on local communities, their culture and economies, are not without challenges and require further understanding. Almost all existing studies on digital nomadism focus on the nomads themselves, while, in this study, we take the perspective of the locals visited by digital nomads. Using the case study of Chiang Mai, the “digital nomad capital”, we answer the following research questions: What are the impacts of digital nomadism on local communities? How do digital nomads compare to other visitor types within the visitor economy of a local community? Our findings reveal diverse socio‐cultural, economic and technological impacts and how locals in Chiang Mai evaluate digital nomads differently compared to other types of visitors. This research, grounded in an in‐depth case study, contributes to a better understanding of digital nomadism by offering new knowledge about its ambivalent impacts on local communities. We also discuss contributions to the wider literature and implications for policy.

Speech units as an educational subject

Teaching and learning are two basic processes underlying the activity of students and teachers nowadays. The learning process puts both parties toward each other,what it teaches, and what it takes, the teacher and the student. Today training students to teach themselves, and their education, equipping them with the skills of independent work with the most advanced methods of conscious, sustainable, active, and creative learning takes great importance. The purpose of this topic is to know the importance of usage of all skills during a lesson hour. The teacher is free to use a variety of methods and strategies for teaching and learning to suit the needs of students in different classes. He combines these methods during the learning process and adapts according to the increasing development of linguistic competence and independence of student development, the consistency of this process. Teaching has at its center the method of communication, task-based methods, functional methods, and situations as real life, etc. These methods are realized through various strategies and techniques, according to language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing). Teachers and students collaborate on the organization of teaching and learning. To facilitate teaching/learning, the teacher finds efficient ways to organize communication activities and provides and suggests source materials for students. In contemporary teaching, the teacher does not only play the role of teacher but also plays the role of supervisor. Together they establish cooperative relations in the process of learning.The teacher clarifies the students and takes their understanding of what happens in the classroom. This means clarifying the rules of the line of work and the responsibilities of students in the process of activities. The teacher suggests and provides the use of audiovisual means, electronic, and helps students to use various forms of information technology within and outside the classroom. It gives students the website in accordance with their age and educational requirements. In teaching, an hour should be applied to all four language skills strategies, but they escalate from level to level depending on the objectives. Setting the students in the spotlight makes the student participate actively in linguistic interaction, preparing them for a new phase of their education or being able to face the demands of the labor market.

Empirical evidence for the diffusion of knowledge in land use change

ABSTRACTChanges and innovations in land management have been hypothesised to spread through knowledge diffusion between land managers. Such diffusion can occur directly between neighbours or, in recent years, through various forms of information technology. Land system models and policy initiatives do not generally account for this process, partly because of a lack of empirical studies of its spatial and temporal properties. We look for evidence of the existence and form of diffusion in UK agriculture and forestry between 1968 and 2015, using logistic models of spatial dependencies in the uptake of new crops and subsidies. Strong evidence is found of spatial diffusion, with no clear evidence that its form has changed systematically over recent decades. We conclude that improved understanding of diffusion is necessary for land use policy-making and modelling to account for the spatial aggregations and time lags that remain characteristic of the uptake of new management practices.

Introducing intelligence-led conservation: bridging crime and conservation science

The multidisciplinary nature of conservation science lends itself to be a unique area of study for those interested in crime science. In particular, crime scientists can contribute to the development, implementation, and evaluation of crime and intelligence analysis that address wildlife crime. Crime and intelligence analysis has gained significant attention from conservationists in recent years due to the increasing accessibility and capabilities of various forms of information technology. This has led to significant gains in the ability to collect and analyse information resulting in the push for intelligence-led approaches to guide wildlife law enforcement. Based on a process evaluation of the Uganda Wildlife Authority’s intelligence strategy, this paper contributes to the literature by introducing an intelligence-led conservation framework, as well as an operational model referred to as the Ranger Analytic Intelligence Network specifically tailored for conservation efforts in Uganda. Several important caveats that warrant consideration prior to and during the development of an intelligence-led conservation approach are also presented. Lastly, implications for policy are discussed.

Developing a Text Messaging Risk Reduction Intervention for Methamphetamine-Using MSM: Research Note

Men who have sex with men (MSM) who use methamphetamine experience high risks for HIV infection due to sexual transmission behaviors often engaged in when under the influence of methamphetamine. Methamphetamine-using MSM use various forms of information technology (IT) communication such as instant messaging, social networking sites, and websites to facilitate a sexual and/or drug “hook up.” Given the acceptability of IT communication in their daily lives, an IT intervention represents an appropriate strategy to reach and intervene with out-of-treatment, methamphetamine-using MSM. The aim of this study was to conduct formative work to develop a text messaging intervention to reduce methamphetamine use and high-risk sexual behaviors among out-of-treatment MSM, which involved conducting focus groups, community partners’ meetings, and a pre-test intervention. These activities culminated in the development of a two-week, text-messaging intervention that delivered real-time electronic correspondence based on the behavioral change theories of Social Support Theory, Health Belief Model, and Social Cognitive Theory. The focus groups, community meetings, and pre-test were used to identify the IT communication device, the text messages that best support risk reduction and healthier behavioral choices, and logo, flyer and website development. The input and feedback from the target population and community partners were critical to the successful development of a culturally appropriate intervention. The knowledge gleaned from the formative work of this study will be vitally helpful in designing future IT studies.

From Origins to Implications: Key Aspects in the Debate over the Digital Divide

Defined as the differential extent to which rich countries and poor countries benefit from various forms of information technology (IT), the global digital divide has been extensively measured and described in national as well as international debates. The problem, however, is that the topic is highly fragmented in the literature, with few attempts to put the parts into a coherent analytical framework. More precisely, there has been no specific attempt to pinpoint the main issues that influence one's view of the importance of the digital divide and the policies demanded by the different points of view. The goal of this paper, accordingly, is to fill this important gap in the literature in an analytical schema that recognizes the ways in which the impact of innovations depends heavily on how they are generated and diffused. At each stage of this sequential process are key issues that influence one's view of the digital divide. It matters a great deal for instance on whether the divide is in some sense unique, or just another manifestation of the general technological relationship between rich and poor countries. It is also the case that the size of the divide depends heavily on how it is measured. Yet another example is that the extent of the potential impact of IT will influence our view of the foregone opportunities associated with limited uptake of this technology in developing countries.

A Life Cycle Model of Continuous Clinical Process Innovation

The changing healthcare environment has created a sense of urgency for continuous innovation in clinical care processes. Managers and clinicians are investing unprecedented funds and energy in the development of various clinical process innovations (CPI) such as clinical pathways, electronic workstations, and various forms of information technology. While increasing attention has been paid to the development of such initiatives, our understanding of how best to disseminate and ensure their use is limited. In this first of two articles dealing with the dissemination and use of CPI in integrated delivery systems, we present a "life cycle" model of the dissemination process and suggest opportunities for managing CPI. The management of CPI requires more than just an understanding of the factors that may facilitate or impede its implementation and use. Managers require an understanding of the actual process so that they can assess the specific implementation stage at which the organization is presently operating, and design appropriate interventions that can affect the process. A future article will identify the factors that facilitate and inhibit the process and suggest some intervention strategies.
