“…Mobile applications used in the development of tourism should be functional. The success of an environment-friendly tourism application depends on meeting the needs of the users [31]. With this application, users can perform different operations such as travel planning and ticket purchase.…”

This study aims to examine a user-centered environment-friendly mobile phone app for tourists and residents in Saudi Arabia. To achieve this objective, a new fuzzy decision-making model is constructed. In this scope, by considering a detailed literature examination, eight criteria are identified. Facial expression-based quantum spherical DEMATEL with golden cuts are taken into consideration to examine the possible impact and directions among these criteria. The main contribution of this study is that priority factors in the development of the environment-friendly tourism mobile application can be identified. Moreover, facial expressions of the decision-makers are considered in the fuzzy decision-making analysis. This situation helps us to achieve more appropriate results. The findings demonstrate that user-centeredness is the most significant environment-friendly mobile application performance criterion of the tourism industry. Additionally, functionality is another important determinant with respect to this situation. It is of great importance to ensure customer satisfaction for the mobile applications used in the development of tourism to be successful. Thus, user feedback should be taken into consideration for them to work more effectively. Furthermore, tourism applications should provide users with fast and accurate information. In this context, mobile applications should offer customized offers to users to increase customer satisfaction.

“…With a few simple rules, a small group of staff and few enforcement mechanisms, this organisation facilitates the decentralisation of a massive flow of goods between more than eight million people. Tons of specific items, such as used clothes, furniture, and electronic equipment, are advertised through online messaging platforms and distributed to interested individuals without exchanging money or other goods, practising charity by offering goods to others (Aptekar, 2016;Figueiredo et al, 2021).…”

Purpose: This article shows the proposal of a useful application, which facilitates communication and interaction between two people, promoting and putting into practice the concept of Freecycle. Methodology/Approach: A contextualisation of the theme is done, namely the concept of Freecycle, showing how it emerged and evolved, as well as how technology can be applied to it for its promotion. Based on this study, the information systems and technological architectures of the proposed solution are shown. Findings: Freecycle has been gaining more and more relevance, being seen as a way to reduce the waste of goods, which can lead to the reduction of raw materials spent to produce new goods. The proposed application allows this concept to be put into practice, playing an active role in improving the conditions of our planet. Research Limitation/implication: The application is under development, and this article presents the results achieved so far. In the future, more tests will be done when the application is fully developed with a larger population. Originality/Value of paper: The currently existing applications do not contemplate all the potentialities of Freecycle, so the proposed solution intends to improve the dissemination of this concept and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, protecting our planet.

“…The risk of cyber attacks increases exponentially due to the increasingly widespread use of Information and Communication Technologies -ICT. This evolution in the use of ICT happened in important in areas such as health (Carvalho et al, 2012;Carvalho et al, 2015), wellbeing (Queirós et al, 2010;Carvalho et al, 2022a) or tourism (Carvalho et al, 2020a;Figueiredo et al, 2022). This way, nobody is immune, being a phenomenon that affects from individual citizens to companies, including even government entities, in all sectors of our society (Carvalho et al, 2022b).…”

The widespread use of Information and Communication Technologies - ICT substantially increases the risks related to information security. In fact, due to the increase in the number and type of cyber attacks, Cybersecurity has become a growing concern in today's society. This phenomenon affects not only individual citizens, but also companies and even State entities. Despite the numerous advantages of this "digitalisation" of society, there are several risks, ranging from identity theft, scam emails or phone calls, online fraud, offensive material and child pornography, material promoting racial hatred or religious extremism, access to online services, email account hacking, online banking fraud, cyber extortion or malicious software. In order to determine the impact that cyber attacks have on society it is necessary to understand how people and companies use ICTs, such as social networks, the information they share, their privacy concerns, or the use of electronic services such as online payments or the cloud. This study becomes central not only to try to prevent/minimise risks, showing what has been done in this area, but more importantly, the way forward to try to prevent or minimise possible risks in the future.
