“…Yet, a need to raise awareness of farmers about other sources is also revealed in the study. This is also theorized by Kisusi and Masele (2018) that a combination of strategies in any information and communication strategy is important. A combination of Television broadcasts, radio broadcasts, exhibitions, composed stories, songs, dance, poems, libraries and other methods used can offer positive results for a desired change (see also Masele, 2019).…”

While the role of information in improving small-scale horticultural farming in urban areas is widely acknowledged in the literature, its potential cannot be realized unless the information needs that enlighten the stakeholders about the appropriate information sources are known. This is because horticultural farming is an information intensive endeavour and it is full of uncertainties. This study investigated information needs and the sources used by small-scale horticulture farmers in Morogoro Urban in Tanzania. A mixed-method research design was used to collect data from 133 respondents. Questionnaires, observation, and interviews were used in the data collection process. Descriptive analysis was used inanalysing quantitative data, while content analysis was used for qualitative data. The findings of the study show that farmers needed information on sowing/harvesting time, disease and pest control, erosion control, harvest storage, and produce markets. Friends/colleagues ranked as important information sources, followed by extension officers, libraries, Internet, colleagues, cooperatives, Nanenane exhibitions, radio, and newspapers. The challenges faced including the unavailability of extension officers, and long distances to/from libraries were mentioned as significant factors hindering farmers’ use of small-scale horticultural farming information and horticultural development in general. Recommendations have been provided that, equip small-scale horticultural crop farmers with up-to-date knowledge and skills to shape the farmers' thinking, knowledge, and attitude. Such awareness will add value to the information exchanged through interpersonal relationships. Employing more skilled extension officers and the use of modern ICT to improve horticulture farmers’ information access is also recommended.

This article aims to pinpoint areas for further exploration in the cultural tourism sector of Tanzania and analyze their potential impacts. The study conducted a systematic review of the literature following established inclusion criteria as well as the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and meta-analysis guidelines. A total of 21 articles focused on Tanzania Cultural Heritage Tourism from sources such as Google Scholar and web databases were examined, revealing several research gaps, including theoretical, contextual and methodological aspects. Furthermore, the research offers insights into theoretical implications and recommends avenues for future studies that could advance the field by addressing these knowledge gaps providing valuable direction to new researchers interested in exploring these specific areas as well as practitioners seeking a comprehensive understanding of various aspects related to Tanzania's cultural heritage tourism

“…In recent decades, we have seen an exponential increase in the practise of sports of all types and at all levels [15]. Many of the sporting disciplines attracting more practitioners are those that take place in natural environments, where people can not only do their sport but where the focus is on the intrinsic values of the surrounding area, like nature, animal life, plants or heritage [16].…”

The Mosquera valley, in the heart of the Sierra de Espadán Natural Park, is known for being a true natural treasure, one of the best preserved and most renowned spaces in the Park. However, since the mid-19th century, this space has been profoundly altered by people making commercial use of the forest. Paradoxically, it is precisely this anthropic transformation that makes the place more attractive to visitors, to the extent that it continues to be a leading destination for nature observation and outdoor sports. Since the area was designated as a natural park, visitor numbers have increased exponentially, whilst its use as a managed forest has gone into decline. Both situations pose a challenge for the maintenance and preservation of this mountain area. The aim of this research is to present the strong symbolic component of the Mosquera valley and to evaluate the new uses of this privileged space, the new forms of tourism, the rise of sports practice, the enhancement of heritage or the improvement of behaviour in favour of sustainability.
