Categorization of tourist attractions and the modeling of tourist cities: based on the co-plot method of multivariate analysis

Distribution and Determining of Tourist Attractions and Modeling of Tourist Cities for the City of Isfahan-Iran

“…Also tourist attractions were defined; Taxonomy model is one of the ranking methods used in different fields. This method has been since 18 the century [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] Recently, using this model has become common. According to a number of indicators, The Method classifies data into homogenous classes [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] .…”

“…Study by Raveh and Shoval [29] studied Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The percentage of visit, average length of stay, average number of visits was used to classify tourist attractions.…”

“…The percentage of visit, average length of stay, average number of visits was used to classify tourist attractions. On the basis of these variables, four classes of tourist attractions were obtained [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] . Cooper [4] , who investigated the spatial behavior of tourists on the Channel Island of Jersey, identified differences in the spatial patterns of tourists according to two variables: stage in Life cycle and socioeconomic status.…”

“…Bowman's work was followed up by Shachar and Shoval [29] who identified segmented tourist spaces based on the different national and religious groups visiting the city. More recently, Shoval [32] reexamined their findings using a statistical model consisting of 10 variables representing tourist and trip characteristics of visitors to Jerusalem.…”

RobCoP: A Matlab Package for Robust CoPlot Analysis

“…CoPlot is used for geometrical representation of multi-criteria decision problems [2] [3] [4], has been utilized in econometric studies [5], in energy and environmental modeling [6], in exploratory data analysis [7], as an outlier detection tool [8] [9] and for presenting DEA graphically [10] [11] [12].…”
