“…The urban–rural tourism nexus shows how urban areas act as gateways to leisure and entertainment, while rural areas offer serene natural attractions. This synergy creates space for spatial substitution, where tourists seek less crowded destinations, contributing to sustainable tourism development that encompasses environmental preservation, social equity, as well as economic efficiency as suggested by Hall (1998).…”

The ‘Happy Feet’–‘Green Beauty’ tourism nexus represents the functional spatial interplay between entertainment‐centered tourism and nature‐based visitors' choices. This paper seeks to explain rural (non‐urban) tourism patterns emerging from the interaction between the two forms of tourism in the context of sustainable destination development, using Las Vegas and its hinterland as a case study. The analysis addresses important key concepts related to the urban–rural tourism nexus, namely deconcentrated concentration of tourism, health tourism, nature/eco‐tourism, tourism crowding, spatial substitution/complementarity in tourism, outer‐inner city tourism synergy, and intervening spatial opportunities in tourism. The study develops a novel methodological framework for identifying the drivers of rural (non‐urban) tourism choices as spillover factors from tourism crowding in major attractions. Mapping out this transition in leisure behavior contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the ‘Happy Feet’–’Green Beauty’ tourism nexus for post‐corona tourism development and informs future research and practical implications in tourism spillover studies.

“…Spatial models use computer language (e.g. FORTRAN) to simulate land dynamics using spatially distributed data (Hall, Hall & Taylor 2000). A variety of software, methods and approaches are used for contemporary models (Chang-Martínez et al 2015) (Verburg & Overmars 2009) and InVEST (Olwero 2013).…”

Mapping forest dynamics in Bangladesh from satellite images: implications for the global REDD+ program

Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is a global climate change mitigation initiative under negotiation by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This initiative provides financial incentives to developing countries for enhancing carbon stocks in their forests by abstaining from deforestation and forest degradation, which would lead to emission of CO2 into the atmosphere. To implement a REDD+ project, developing countries need to measure and monitor anthropogenic changes in their forests and as well as forest carbon to account for CO2 emissions and removals from such changes. It is also important to predict future scenarios of forest/landuse changes and to identify the areas at risk of changes so that appropriate conservation initiatives can be taken. Bangladesh is steadily progressing through its REDD+ roadmap. However, several key research issues still to address include: using remote sensing technology to detect deforestation, forest degradation and associated changes in forest carbon stock, and predict future forest/land-use pattern at local environmental setting. This study developed and evaluated approaches to detect the extent of historic (1995-2015) deforestation and forest degradation (Objective 1), to estimate the emissions of forest aboveground carbon due to deforestation and degradation activities (Objective 2), and to assess the future scenarios, driving forces and risk of deforestation and forest degradation (Objective 3) at Raghunandan Hill Reserve in northeastern Bangladesh using a combination of satellite and field-level data employing various geospatial, statistical and modeling tools. The thesis comprises seven chapters. The significance and background of the research along with aim, objectives, research questions and available literature on the topic were described in chapter 1, 2 and 3. Chapter 4 dealt with the first objective, where changes of forest areas to non-forest areas and one forest strata to another during 1995-2015 were detected with high accuracy (>90%) by applying Monte-Carlo spectral unmixing algorithm to Landsat images, followed by knowledge-based classification approach. The classification was verified using independent randomly drawn reference sample points using high-resolution Google Earth images. A post-classification comparison method was applied to quantify the spatial extent, location and rate of changes of forest classes by generating transition matrices. In chapter 5, emissions of carbon (t CO2e yr-1) from deforestation and forest degradation activities during 1995-2005 and 2005-2015 periods at Raghunandan forest were estimated using Landsat satellite and field-level biomass-carbon data applying regression analysis and geospatial techniques with acceptable accuracy. The accuracy of the estimate was verified using root mean square error iii (RMSE) of estimated carbon with field reference carbon. Results indicated that, during 1995-2005, the total estimated emission was 4589 tonnes (t) CO2e yr-1 from deforesta...
