“…In this context, the study of tourism fits within the framework of social theory by observing the ways in which tourist sites are artfully constructed, and the ways in which they are filled with intended and unintended meaning for tourists (Knudsen & Greer, 2008). The adaptations of the tourist gaze now permit tourism to be redefined in four important ways: first, "the fundamental characteristic of tourist activity is (now) about interpretation upon particular objects or landscapes which are different from the tourist's everyday experiences" (Gaffey, 2004, p. 74); so that tourism is increasingly a "signposted experience" involving the "spectaclization of place" (Urry, 1995, p. 139) where the "industry" is built around the production of symbols to be gazed upon (Urry, 1990, p. 101).…”

This article continues the exploration of factors determining the tourist gaze in differing circumstances. Without intending to engage in a feminist debate, the article focuses on the preferences of women tourists as factors contributing to the development of domestic tourism in Malaysia. It goes further by using their own “tourist gaze” as a tool to explore these perceptions. This approach delivers outcomes that differ substantially from those of previous studies in comparable Western environments. Here, a case study from the resort town of Setiu serves to illustrate the complex array of social forces—a heady compound of nationality, race, culture, religion, and gender—to distinguish the preferences of local tourists and of Malay Muslim women in particular.

“…Open space is defined as all landscape, hardscape, park, and recreational spaces in a city (Knudsen & Greer, 2008). According to Nasution & Zahrah (2012), successful open space can encourage the feeling of security and comfort of the visitors.…”

“…The historical story and nostalgia also embody continuity in the area. The historical story makes a landscape understandable and increases interest in the conservation of cultural heritage (Knudsen & Greer, 2008). It means that instead of describing the area situated in the past, the historical stories also support the preservation of the historical buildings.…”

Spatial planning can improve one’s quality of life by enhancing the environmental quality and its potential. Thus, the application of the concept of identity into the planning process is essential in emphasizing the significance of a place, especially in heritage tourism area, where tourist satisfaction is obtained from the tourism objects peculiarities that become the place identity. However, similar studies are still limited so that this study will contribute to filling the gaps. This study is conducted in Maimoon Palace District, a historic area in Medan. This study aims to examine the application of the concept of spatial planning based on the area identity. A qualitative method is used to collect the data about spatial planning elements in the area. The findings indicate that the existing spatial planning has already contained the place identity. However, many problems in spatial planning elements still cause a chaotic view of the area. Therefore, the government should improve the area not only by improving the physical quality but also increasing tourist satisfaction to enhance tourism attractiveness.

“…The sands moved inland over agricultural fields, silting rivers and estuaries, sometimes destroying villages and forcing the inhabitants to move elsewhere (Clark and Rendell, 2015). Many studies described the impact of sand invasion in different times and places, like the Culbin Estate (1694), in Scotland (Bain, 1900), Soulac (1744), in France (Buffault, 1897), Tvorup (1680Tvorup ( -1750 in Denmark (Knudsen and Greer, 2008), Cape Cod in the USA (1700s) (Freeman, 1862) and the Manawatu-Whanganui region in New Zealand (Smith, 1879: 514-516). Other qualitative studies mainly explore the strategies adopted by coastal populations to face sand hazards (e.g., Freitas, 2004).…”
