“…); free government supported methods (e.g., NREL's System Advisor Model (SAM) [71] [74]); and open-source methods (e.g., r.sun/GRASS [75][76][77]) available for predicting; weather, solar flux and basic PV systems performance and modeling. This paper uses SAM for the performance and financial model designed to facilitate decision-making for the project considered.…”

“…Such GIS software also derives raster representations of a hemispherical view shed, sun map, and sky map, which are used in the calculation of direct, diffuse, and global solar radiation [81]. A similar approach can be used for free with r.sun and GRASS [76,77,82]. Because of the direction of runways, the planes land and take off in both direction the runways.…”

A source of large surface areas for solar photovoltaic (PV) farms that has been largely overlooked in the 13,000 United States of America (U.S.) airports. This paper hopes to enable PV deployments in most airports by providing an approach to overcome the three primary challenges identified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): (1) reflectivity and glare; (2) radar interference; and (3) physical penetration of airspace. First, these challenges and precautions that must be adhered to for safe PV projects deployment at airports are reviewed and summarized. Since one of the core concerns for PV and airport symbiosis is solar panel reflectivity, and because this data is largely estimated, a controlled experiment is conducted to determine worst-case values of front panel surface reflectivity and compare them to theoretical calculations. Then a general approach to implement solar PV systems in an airport is outlined and this approach is applied to a case study airport. The available land was found to be over 570 acres, which would generate more than 39,000% of the actual annual power demand of the existing airport. The results are discussed while considering the scaling potential of airport-based PV systems throughout the U.S.

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to investigate the influence of ecotourism performance on quality tourism experience and sustainable consciousness. Methodology: Adopted survey questionnaires were given to a sample of 400 tourists in the tourism sector in Davao City. This study employed a non-experimental design utilizing a descriptive correlation technique. The statistical tools used were frequency, mean, Pearson r, and Sobel test. Main Findings: It was found that the level of quality tourism experiences, sustainable consciousness, and ecotourism performance of tourists in Davao City are strongly agreed upon. The correlation between quality tourism experience, sustainable consciousness, and ecotourism performance has a weak but positive relationship, whilst ecotourism performance and sustainable consciousness have a very positive relationship. Implications: This study implies that to have a quality tourism experience and improve ecotourism for everyone, every visitor must be conscious of sustainability in the areas of attitude, behavior, and knowledge. This can be done in that the host must publish educational awareness to be responsible tourists such as campaign posters, innovative digital promotional branding strategies, and the like. Novelty: This study is covering important aspects of quality tourism experience with special reference to Davao City.
