“…Food texture again becomes important and can affect variety of foods eaten. The exponential advancement in technology has seen an increase in the pace of life in industrialized civilizations (Mayer & Knox, ). While increased speed is seen in faster cars, and internet speeds, the fast pace of life has also been shown to have an impact on speed of eating (de Graaf & Kok, ).…”

The human feeding, chewing, and swallowing mechanism adapts and changes over the life span. There are opportunities to influence flavor development from as early as life in utero, and through milk feeds. Infants also need exposure to soft lumps to develop rudimentary chewing skills that lay the foundation for mature chewing. Melt-in-the-mouth textures and familiar flavors can help children to bridge to new food and diminish development of picky eating. Similar textures can also be used for the elderly particularly if used with food flavors and compounds that excite the trigeminal system to promote increased food variety. Adults taking medication with dry mouth side effects benefit from moist foods. Special populations, such as those with swallowing difficulties, may benefit from use of micro encapsulated compounds that trigger the trigeminal pathway. Introduction of a food texture labeling system is advocated.

“…The global spread of foodstuff threatens local producers and consumers, as well as traditions developed around food production and consumption. The Slow City movement represents immediate action against such "McDonaldisation" of society (Ritzer, 2004) and represents a resistance to the increased pace of life and "placelessness" (Mayer, Knox, 2009). We can consider The Slow City movement as unexpected and paradoxical expression of rural-urban continuum.…”

“…Community quality-of-life indicator system covering six key areas: environmental policies and planning; the use of infrastructure; integration of technology; promotion of local produce and ways of life; hospitality and the rhythm of life; and sense of place. Each national network of member towns, and each individual town, must develop a set of indicators based on the Charter (Mayer, Knox, 2009). …”

Inclusion of specific rural architectural and planning forms in the urban structure of Moscow is analysed. As a theoretical background, theories of Garden-Cities (Howard, 1902), Rural-urban continuum (Sorokin, Zimmerman, 1929), Slow city (Mayer, Knox, 2009) are considered. Inclusion of rural architectural and planning forms is analysed for different structural elements of Moscow's urban environment -public spaces, industrial areas, residential areas, street and road network. Authors argue that once included into the structure of the city, rural planning and architectural forms do not disappear, but after the termination of the implementation of their parent species and ways of life, which are really related to agriculture and other "non-urban" activities, they are transformed for integration into urban life and the environment, contributing to an increase in their diversity. This pattern can be traced consistently, at least, from the XVIII century.Key words: rural architectural and planning forms, urban planning structure, urban development, urban environment, public spaces, industrial areas, residential areas, street and road network, Moscow.Аннотация: На примере Москвы в статье анализируется включение сельских архитектурно-планировочных форм в городскую среду. В качестве теоретической базы проводится анализ теорий «Города-сада» Э Говарда (Howard,1902), «Сельско-городского континуума» (Sorokin, Zimmerman, 1929), «Медленного города» (Mayer, Knox, 2009). Включение сельских форм анализируется для различных структурных элементов городской среды Москвы -общественных пространств, производственных территорий, селитебных территорий, улично-дорожной сети. Делается вывод, что, однажды сложившись в структуре города, сельские архитектурные и планировочные формы не исчезают, но после прекращения реализации породивших их видов и способов деятельности, реально связанных сельским хозяйством и другими «негородскими» видами деятельности, они трансформируются для интеграции в городскую жизнь и среду, способствуя увеличению их разнообразия. Эта закономерность устойчиво прослеживается, по крайней мере, с XVIII века.Ключевые слова: сельские архитектурно-планировочные формы, городская планировочная структура, городское развитие, городская среда, общественные пространства, производственные территории, селитебные территории, улично-дорожная сеть, Москва.

“…Ekinci (2014) asserted that it is easier to achieve sustainable tourism development at the global level by increasing the number of Cittaslow members, given that the requirements of Cittaslow encompass indicators of sustainable tourism development. Mayer and Knox (2009) also argue that the action-oriented criteria of Cittaslow are a powerful indicator of authentic and sustainable place-making. Hatipoglu (2015) viewed Cittaslow as a model for grassroots urban development, because Cittaslow pursues high quality of local life and a strong sense of community by supporting local businesses, organisations, and alternative local development programmes.…”

The slow movement has recently offered an alternative approach to sustainable tourism development, and this study aims to investigate the potential of Cittaslow philosophy and practices for enhancing local community involvement and empowerment in the tourism sector through which sustainable tourism is better implemented. Qualitative research was conducted on the case of Goolwa in South Australia, the first non-European Cittaslow. The results reveal that not only did Cittaslow accreditation and its accompanying practices encourage local community participation in decision making processes, but also revitalised the locality of Goolwa through promoting local specialities and products, in particular food and wine. A stronger and more effective collaboration among local communities, businesses and residents after the Cittaslow accreditation was noted in the context of psychological and social aspects of local community empowerment, especially for developing and managing tourism. This paper further discusses the implications of Cittaslow through which local community empowerment and sustainability in tourism can be more achievable.
