“…It classifies the sustainability DC metrics into two sectors, that is, one common and six multidisciplinary DC sets. The proposed system not only advances and operationalizes the targets defined in SDGs regarding infrastructure sustainability (i.e., SDG9 industry, innovation and infrastructure) and urban sustainability (i.e., SDG11 sustainable cities and communities) (Diep et al, 2021), but relieves stakeholders' burdens in examining compulsory sustainability indexes. Considering the heterogeneity between different stakeholders' preferences, it provides stakeholders with the common DC set and a specific disciplinary DC set, in which metrics in other sets are negligibly weighted due to unfamiliarity and subjectivity.…”

The evaluation of urban infrastructure development is a decision-making process with multidisciplinary stakeholder engagement assessing sustainability metrics in different dimensions. However, there are uncertainties in such an evaluation caused by the heterogeneity between different stakeholders' preferences and the difficulty in differentiating sustainability decision criteria (DC). This study aims to formalize a multidisciplinary DC system to evaluate sustainable infrastructure development, which represents the preferences to DC metrics heterogeneously weighted by stakeholders. An empirical survey was conducted to collect the stakeholders' preferences to 50 sustainability DC metrics in which 91 infrastructure professionals from six disciplines (i.e., owner, architect, engineer, contractor, supplier, and consultant) were invited to participate. As a result, this study identified one common and six disciplinary DC sets and defined 20 DC factors with weights information structuring the multidisciplinary decision-making process, which indicates the multidisciplinary DC system is formal to be leveraged on assessing the sustainability performance of infrastructure development. In addition, the proposed multidisciplinary DC system is comprehensive in reducing uncertainties through determining the weights of DC metrics across various disciplines. Theoretically, the multidisciplinary DC system advances the knowledge of sustainability measurement by not only integrating the planet-people-prosperity framework and the product-organization-process framework but mitigating evaluation uncertainty through representing stakeholders' heterogeneity. For practical significance, such a multidisciplinary DC system will serve as a precursor for managers and policymakers in decision-making processes to enhance sustainability performances of infrastructure development.

“…In the second paper referring to Brazil, Diep et al (2020) attempt to connect Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 on water and sanitation to the other SDGs, which similarly relate to equality, pollution control, waste management, and overall well-being. They recommend structuring and integrating policies in such a way that they deliver basic services to the least served population, advancing not only the sanitation goal but also other related SDG targets.…”

The top 12 development journals published a total of 18,329 papers during the period 2000-2020. Out of these, just 51 focused on sanitation and related issues, which are the focus of this review. Results were mixed on the efficiency of sanitation delivery since political factors and administrative characteristics vary across locations. Accountability and leadership, especially at the local level, appear to be important driving forces. There is a need for more case studies that analyze what works, and what does not, in specific locations. Also, further studies will have to investigate how to influence the norms, traditions, and beliefs towards favorably supporting household sanitation decisions. Additionally, governments should enhance their social welfare programs to address socioeconomic inequalities (i.e., income, gender, and rural-urban disparities), which also critically affect individual and household sanitation investments. Efforts at national and international levels are needed to encourage research on the various dimensions of sanitation.

“…Based on this concept, the United Nations has formulated 17 sustainable development goals, proposed new standards for the prosperity and development of the earth, and standardized the assessment methods and indicators for sustainable development (Böhringer and Jochem, 2007;Hacking and Guthrie, 2008;Singh et al, 2009). Since then, the concept of sustainable development has been fully implemented and has gradually become a well-known concept from the perspectives of the environment, economy, and society (Adedoyin et al, 2021;Diep et al, 2021;Zhou et al, 2021). Currently, these three dimensions are identified as the motivations and mechanisms of sustainable development (Steffen et al, 2015;Svensson and Wagner, 2015).…”

Sustainable Development for Film-Induced Tourism: From the Perspective of Value Perception

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The tourism economy has become a new driving force for economic growth, and film-induced tourism in particular has been widely proven to promote economic and cultural development. Few studies focus on analyzing the inherent characteristics of the economic and cultural effects of film-induced tourism, and the research on the dynamic mechanism of the sustainable development of film-induced tourism is relatively limited. Therefore, from the perspective of the integration of culture and industry, the research explores the dynamic mechanism of sustainable development between film-induced culture and film-induced industry through a questionnaire survey of 1,054 tourism management personnel, combined with quantitative empirical methods. The conclusion shows that the degree of integration of culture and tourism is an important mediating role that affects the dynamic mechanism of sustainable development of film-induced tourism, and the development of film-induced tourism depends on the integration of culture and industry. Constructing a diversified industrial integration model according to local conditions and determining the development path of resource, technology, market, product integration, and administrative management can become the general trend of the future development of film-induced tourism.
