“…This research shows that changes at this level can only occur with the involvement of the various stakeholders, namely, citizens, companies and commerce, and policymakers. This is supported by several studies carried out at the international level that demonstrate the relevance of this multilevel process [44,72,78,91].…”

The Use of Collaborative Practices for Climate Change Adaptation in the Tourism Sector until 2040—A Case Study in the Porto Metropolitan Area (Portugal)

et al. 2022

When climate change became a global concern in the 1980s, mitigation was considered the best strategy to address all challenges. For a long time, it was thought possible to stabilize atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs), which, according to many experts, brought on an unfit adaptation. There are international agreements designed to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, but the policy measures taken so far are insufficient to achieve this goal. In addition, the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the relevance of placing this issue at the core of international policies and the need for bottom-up measures and options. The purpose of this paper is to explore how collaborative planning can contribute to adapting the urban tourism sector to climate change in the Porto Metropolitan Area (PMA), located in the northern region of mainland Portugal. In this investigation, we used mixed methods based on the following: (1) the discussion of urban tourism’s adaptation planning to climate change with undergraduate students; (2) the application of a modified Delphi questionnaire survey, to 47 international researchers and technicians in the first round and 35 international researchers and technicians in the second round, about the predictability of the adaptation measures; and (3) a theoretical-practical workshop aimed to discuss the main action intentions and ways of adaptation in the short and medium term. All empirical data were collected during the year of 2021. This research highlights the need for more detailed information, the weak interaction between stakeholders and the limitation of resources. Our research identifies the main impacts and local vulnerabilities and determines priorities for adaptation and implementation of actions, aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change and maintaining tourism attractiveness in urban areas. In addition, this investigation allowed the definition of a research agenda, which seeks to guide the area of tourism climatology regarding the new challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…• Assess the feasibility of creating an extra tourist tax up to 4.0% of the basic value of the tourist package. The creation of this extra-fee was based on other studies that refer to the need for additional fees to deal with climate change [72,73] and by taking into account the results of the MDA.…”

“…Several studies have been conducted on the potential impacts of climate change on the tourism sector (e.g., winter tourism, coastal tourism, and so on) and on mitigating these effects (see, for example, Arabadzhyan et al 2021 ; Azam et al 2018 ; Becken et al 2020 ; El-Masry et al 2022 ; Gössling et al 2012 ; Lopes et al 2022 ; Neuvonen et al 2015 ; Raza et al 2017 ; Rutty et al 2017 ; Schliephack and Dickinson 2017 ; Scott 2021 ); nonetheless, research on the impact of tourism on climate change is very limited (see, for example, Azam et al 2018 ; Ben Jebli and Hadhri 2018 ; Danish and Wang 2018 ; Katircioglu 2014 ; Paramati et al 2016 ; Zhang and Zhang 2020 ). Katircioglu ( 2014 ) argued in their research in Cyprus that the tourism sector has a statistically significant long-run effect on CO 2 emissions, which is evidence that tourism development is a determinant of climate change through escalations in energy consumption.…”

Using a non-linear autoregressive distributed lag time-series analysis, this paper investigates the causal relationship between climate change, the tourism sector, and energy consumption in Turkey. The trade-off between a country’s economic growth and the environmental degradation caused by tourism and the energy sector is critical in terms of scientifically addressing the issue and developing economic policies. As a result, climate change is used as the dependent variable and is represented by precipitation and temperature separately; the independent variables are tourist arrivals, energy consumption, and economic growth. Data is gathered by various institutions from 1995 to 2020. According to the test results, while positive and negative shocks contribute to the decrease in precipitation and temperature in renewable energy consumption (REC) in the long-run, they affect the increase in precipitation and temperature in non-renewable energy consumption (NREC). In the long-run relationship between tourism and temperature, a decrease in the number of tourist arrivals causes a decrease in temperature and precipitation. The findings reveal that a decrease in the number of tourist arrivals and an increase in REC may aid in decreasing temperature, while the increase in NREC may cause an increase in temperature. Through a case study of Turkey, decision-makers should consider these scientific findings that are in the frame of non-linear analysis as possible scenarios for mitigating climate change and fostering sustainable economic growth with efficient tourism policies for the world.

“…The Delphi consultation allows researchers to synthesize more reliable consensus from a group of experts on specific issues (Lopes et al, 2022; McKenna, 1994). In the present study, the Delphi consultation aimed to identify whether the domains and items can be used to evaluate the risk perception of disease aggravation in older patients with NCDs.…”

AimThe present study aimed to develop the Risk Perception Scale of Disease Aggravation for older patients with non‐communicable diseases and evaluate its psychometric properties.DesignInstrument development and cross‐sectional validation study were conducted.MethodsThis study contained four phases. In phase I, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify the conception of disease aggravation and risk perception. In phase II, a draft scale was formulated from face‐to‐face semi‐structured in‐depth interviews by Colaizzi's seven‐step qualitative analysis method and group discussions among the researchers. In phase III, domains and items of the scale were revised in accordance with the suggestions from Delphi consultation and patient feedback. In phase IV, psychometric properties were evaluated.FindingsExploratory and confirmatory factor analyses determined four structural factors. Convergent and discriminant validities were acceptable because the average variance extracted coefficients ranged from .622 to .725, and the square roots of the average variance extracted coefficients for the four domains were larger than those of bivariate correlations between domains. The scale also exhibited excellent internal consistency and test–retest reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient = .973, intraclass correlation coefficient = .840).ConclusionsRisk Perception Scale of Disease Aggravation is a new instrument that measures the risk perception of disease aggravation for older patients with non‐communicable diseases, including possible reason, serious outcome, behaviour control and affection experience. The scale contains 40 items that are scored on a 5‐point Likert scale, and it has acceptable validity and reliability.ImpactThe scale is applied to identify different levels of risk perception of disease aggravation for older patients with non‐communicable diseases. Clinical nurses can provide targeted interventions to improve older patients' risk perception of disease aggravation based on levels of risk perception during hospitalization and the period before discharge.Patient or Public ContributionExperts provided suggestions for revising the scale dimensions and items. Older patients participated in the scale revision process to improve the wording of the scale.
