“…The sustainability of leisure agriculture should be adapted to local conditions, unified layout and ecological cycle. Selecting agricultural crops with high carbon absorption levels and compatibility with the natural conditions of the region will allow the realization of the economic benefits of agricultural production and tourism development, while maximizing the carbon sink potential of the crops to obtain good economic and ecological benefits [38]. In this study, the spatial distribution and influencing factors of leisure agriculture in Xinjiang were investigated to promote its environmentally sustainable development [39] and provide suggestions for tourism development and poverty alleviation [40].…”

As a new industry in modern agriculture, leisure agriculture has a strong correlation with rural tourism, and provides rural areas with positive prospects for sustainable development. However, leisure agriculture tends to include a number of bottlenecks. In this study, we investigated the spatial distribution of leisure agriculture in Xinjiang, and the factors that affect it. Kernel density analysis, the nearest-neighbor index, and the geographic concentration index were used to analyze the distribution characteristics of leisure agriculture. Following the conclusion of the ordinary least squares tests, geographically weighted regression (GWR) was conducted to explore the factors affecting spatial distribution. The findings were as follows: (1) The spatial distribution of leisure agriculture in Xinjiang is uneven, and is concentrated in the northern and southern parts of the Tianshan Mountains in western Xinjiang. (2) In terms of the distribution density, there are four high-concentration centers (Bosten Lake, Hami, and the east and west sides of the Ili River Valley) and one subconcentration center (spreading outward from Urumqi). (3) Population, transportation, tourism resources, urban factors, and rainfall, all had significant effects on the distribution of leisure agriculture. These factors had positive and negative effects on the distribution of leisure agriculture, forming high- and low-value areas in space. (4) The leisure agricultural sector responded in varying degrees to the different factors, with large internal variability. Rainfall and population had greater differential effects on the spatial distribution of leisure agriculture compared to transportation, tourism resources, and urban factors, and there were significant two-way effects. Transportation, urban factors, and tourism resources all had consistent, predominantly positive, effects on the distribution of leisure agriculture.

“…For Thailand, part of the major income comes from tourism, with Thailand defining tourism as an important asset of the country. It appears research is bringing innovation and big data to drive research [29]- [31]. Consequently, these have inspired researchers to study and develop this research.…”

Using technology to deliver specific human interests is gaining attention. It results in humans being presented differently with what each individual wants. Therefore, this research aims to develop a culturally tourism recommended application using machine learning technology. It has three objectives: to develop a predictive model for cultural tourism management using text mining techniques, to evaluate the effectiveness of the cultural tourist attraction management model, and to assess the satisfaction of using the application for cultural tourism management. The research data was collected on Facebook conversations from 385 tourists (3,257 transactions) who had traveled to a famous tourist destination in Maha Sarakham Province. The prediction model development tools are three classification techniques including Naïve Bayes, Neural Network, and K-Nearest Neighbor. The model performance evaluation tool consists of a confusion matrix and cross-validation methods. In addition, a questionnaire was used to assess the satisfaction of the application. The results showed that the model with the highest accuracy was modeled by the Naïve Bayes technique with an accuracy of 91.65%. Simultaneously, the level of satisfaction with the application was high, with an average of satisfaction equal to 3.98 (S.D. equal to 0.69). It was therefore concluded that the application was accepted by it to be further expanded to offer more widespread research.

“…The latter was distinguished by their literal meaning, as explained prior. Whereas the object's utility was assessed with the product's functional aspect more than its uniqueness, sustainability is associated with the environmental and socio-economic aspects of Handicrafts (Nguyen et al, 2020). The questionnaire items were randomly distributed to represent these attributes to test the impact of awareness on consumer demand.…”

Indian Handicrafts: A Sustainable future of Utilitarian Consumer Goods

Utilitarian products are those which are designed to be useful rather than attractive. Handmade products are, thus, one among the wonders of Indian artisans, which are both useful and attractive at the same time. World-renowned Indian handicrafts are imported by several countries, which is highly supporting Indian art and culture. This is a source of livelihood for more than half of the unskilled labours and artisans of the Handicraft Industry. But with high-quality décor, luxurious items being exported to foreign lands, middleman income and trade fairs are sucking up most of the profits. Indian artisans and handicraft workers are therefore left with little income in hand except for the very famous art workers of big businessmen. This is one of the major problems which can be solved by encouraging the supply of handicrafts and domestic consumer demand. Since Indian consumers have been evolving through manufactured products, globalization, industrialization, etc. they are producing harmful effects on the environment and socio-economic conditions. Hence, it is very alarming for the handicraft sector to be able to protect its art and small business during an economic crisis. To address the small businesses and art of poor craftworkers this study intends to focus on the utilitarian aspect of handicrafts as being the sustainable alternative. The research broadly focusses on the socio-economic conditions of rural artisans and the environmental benefits of handicrafts by assessing the demand of domestic consumers and their perspectives. Based on primary data collected through the survey method, the study finds that domestic consumers are aware of the sustainable alternative handicrafts have to offer, while the utilitarian aspect has a vague response when it comes to purchasing handicrafts. However, demand for handicrafts is high because of their utilitarian aspect only. The study applied multiple regression analysis to analyse the results and conclude with suggestions based on qualitative research analysis to support rural handicraft artisans and small businesses. The study initiates a broad scope of research in consumer behaviour towards handicrafts in India as a sustainable alternative to mass production. This is one of the ways of supporting the cultural art forms as well as replenishing sustainability in the three major directions, which are economic, environmental & societal. Based on the empirical findings of this study, it concludes with the suggestions of co-existence with culture and sustainable development in India.
