“…On the other hand, the Q2 questionnaire captured the tendency among the younger subgroup in the F groups to obtain the longer time perspectives after the FD workshop, compared to the younger subgroup in the C groups relative to their older counterpart, as shown by the negative significant effect of the cross term of 'young' with 'F' in model (5). This effect remains negative (only weakly) in model (6). The indication of a change in time perspectives among the younger subgroup in the C groups appears in model (8) in its positively-significant effect of 'young' crossed with 's_pro-self'.…”

“…Noteworthy attempts include 'Responsible Research and Innovation' (see Owen et al [4] and Stilgoe et al [5]), which introduced public participation to govern science and innovation as a form of social responsibility. Fitzgerald et al [6] reported on the effectiveness of public participation in forming European Commission regulations. The authors also reported that, despite the help of well-prepared workshop management, "many citizens turned up on the day with a pet subject and tried to dominate the conversation" (p. 257).…”

Impact of Future Design on Workshop Participants’ Time Preferences

et al. 2020

In this paper, we examine the impact of Future Design (FD) on public workshops organized in Matsumoto city, Japan, for its city hall renovation plan. We ran an FD workshop and an ordinary workshop as a control, and the participants were randomly assigned to one of the two workshops. We identified the SVO (social value orientation) type (pro-social, pro-self, and other) and elicited time preference of each participant using simple questionnaires that were independent of the context of the workshops. We found that pro-self individuals tend to have shorter time perspectives than pro-social individuals before the workshops. While the pro-self individuals who went through the ordinary workshop became even more myopic, we did not detect such adverse effects in the FD workshop. This contrast between the ordinary and FD workshops is consistent with the qualitative differences in the policy outcomes between the two workshops. The discussions in the ordinary workshop tended to focus on the resolution of today’s needs, such as acquiring more rooms and more services, etc., while the discussions in the FD workshop focused on the more fundamental functions of the city hall that will be needed in the future, thereby leading to more constructive policy proposals. Such demand-based discussions in the ordinary workshop may have been a result of the growing myopia within the pro-self participants, who insisted on ensuring their current needs.

“…Indeed, “each stage of the consumption behaviour is influenced by different aspects of the technology advancement” (Bavik et al , 2017, p. 413). Data analytics supports business decision-making and research insight (Fitzgerald et al , 2016), analytic insight (IBM, 2014) and enabling large-scale volumes of data to be reviewed in a user-friendly fashion (Mazumder and Dhar, 2018). Other improvements in cloud infrastructure and hardware supporting big data have decreased the costs of these services and have improved their performance (Mazumder and Dhar, 2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine and provide insights into one of the most influential technologies impacting the tourism and hospitality industry over the next five years, i.e. big data and analytics. It reflects on both opportunities and risks that such technological advances create for both consumers and tourism organisations, highlighting the importance of data governance and processes for effective and ethical data management in both tourism and hospitality. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on a review of academic and industry literature and access to trends data and information from a series of academic and industry databases and reports to examine how big data and analytics shape the future of the industry and the associated risks and opportunities. Findings This paper identifies and examines key opportunities and risks posed by the rising technological trend of big data and analytics in tourism and hospitality. While big data is generally regarded as beneficial to tourism and hospitality organisations, there are extensively held ethical, privacy and security concerns about it. Therefore, the paper is making the case for more research on data governance and data ethics in tourism and hospitality and posits that to successfully use data for competitive advantage, tourism and hospitality organisations need to solely expand compliance-based data governance frameworks to frameworks that include more effective privacy and ethics data solutions. Originality/value This paper provides useful insights into the use of big data and analytics for both researchers and practitioners and offers new perspectives on the debate on data governance and ethical data management in both tourism and hospitality. Because forecasts from the UNWTO indicate a significant increase in international tourist arrivals (1.8 billion tourist arrivals by 2030), the ways tourism and hospitality organisations manage customers’ data become important.

“…There could be different ways of manifesting active citizenship, such as the actions of civil organizations, initiatives, and grassroots movements, all of which implicitly become a core matter of the participation of multiple actors in the decisionmaking processes of urban planning. Participation could be problematized as the search for the use of the knowledge and urban experiences of individuals to reach the insights of larger groups (Fitzgerald et al, 2016). At this point, Stivers (1990) argues that active citizenship "can be enacted in an agency setting" through the inclusion of active citizens in administrative processes and by establishing interaction between citizens and administrators, or, in other words, between non-formal and formal agents (p. 86-105).…”

What If You Were A Young Professional? A Scenario on The Critical Grounds of İlhan Tekeli’s Course

This paper attempts to open a critical discussion of Tekeli's graduate course discussing active citizenship and participation in extension with the labor and work of young professionals (as architects/urban planners/urban designers) in our era of urban crisis. With this aim, the fragments of a fictional scenario-which was the final task of the course-are analyzed within a twofold framework: First, the paper elaborates that there are both formal and non-formal agents playing roles in the production of urban space and knowledge of urban space. Not only a variety of formal institutions but also civil organizations and initiatives have emerged considerably since the 2010s in Turkey. Hence, the labor in the production of urban space is pluralized by diversified agents. Secondly, I point out that our generation has been witnessing an era of urban crisis with multiple dimensions such as urban resistance and repression, anti-participatory aggressive production processes of urban space, exploitation of young professionals' labor in parallel with unemployment, and the diminishing capacity of the profession. Through this twofold framework, I argue (and the fictional scenario accordingly ends in such a way) that young professionals could overcome the limits of the profession and generate new critical processes through prompting active citizenship and participation, including multiple actors of the production of urban space. This is the potential of the experiences of the last decade that we have just passed.
