“…More recent research on ECoC cities also emphasises the development of tourism in the context of resilient cities (Ivona et al, 2019), creating a path for more sustainable ECoC cultural tourism. The model for developing tourism in the ECoC context could also be monitored through cultural involvement, with place attachment, in terms of identity and dependence and a focus on positive and negative economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts (Blešić et al, 2022). The concept of transformative tourism within ECoC cities has been developed throughout the TraCEs project (Cultour is Capital, 2019), suggesting that there is a need for cooperation between ECoC cities, the CCI sector, and tourism stakeholders.…”

European Capital of Culture (ECoC), as a long-term cultural initiative of the European Union, has inevitably become intertwined with tourism development in designated cities. For almost four decades, medium-sized and small cities across Europe have been allowed to shift their local economies towards creativity and cultural tourism, driven by the ECoC title, with different cities achieving different levels of success. Since the 1990s, the ECoC initiative has followed the EU's trends, resolutions, and recommendations. The mid-2000s, 2010s, and early 2020s have given the trend a new drive with a more procedural approach in the ECoC bidding process. Sustainable development is one of the EU’s main strategic goals in the new era, and sustainable tourism has also influenced the ECoC initiative, making it one of the key priorities. This paper analyses the concepts of modern cultural tourism and the phenomena of over-tourism and sustainable tourism, especially in the ECoC context. Research methodology is based on secondary sources, including scientific papers, bid books and other official documents drawn up by ECoC cities and ECoC reports. The paper seeks to recognise and systematise the changes in cultural tourism trends in the ECoC context.

“…Numerous research studies have made efforts to comprehend the process of how inhabitants of an area develop emotional connections to the places they live in within a tourist environment. Some of the studies which have been conducted in this area include research conducted by [12][13][14][15][16][17]. Despite the diversity in the areas of focus, some studies have also given attention to the context of heritage tourism, for instance, the research conducted by [18][19][20][21].…”

This study looks at the influence of place attachment on heritage discourse in contemporary places, specifically, Byzantine mosaics in Jordan, where the Byzantine Empire left behind a rich mosaic heritage. Today, these mosaics are replicated in contemporary architectural environments. The purpose of this article is to explore the heritage discourse surrounding Byzantine mosaics in Jordanian contemporary places with a particular focus on the replication and interpretation of the mosaics in contemporary places. To do that, the relationship between the attachments to the Byzantine mosaic places, the community’s level of awareness, and the replicated heritage discourse was examined. The research was conducted using several different methods, where structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to examine the relationship between these factors. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to assess the measurement models of the latent components and examine their construct validity and reliability. In addition, the study was conducted in Madaba Archaeological Park in the Jordanian city of Madaba, known as the “city of mosaics”, which is rich in tourism and culture, as a subject of study. The results show that the phenomena of heritage replications in contemporary places rely on the expanding interest in history, which is manifested through realizing the historical value and unique features of heritage. This attachment, knowledge, and understanding of heritage sites based on socio-cultural norms help shape the discourse of heritage replication in the contemporary built environment. These findings provide an understanding of the reasons behind the replication behavior of heritage designs in contemporary places, which can be supported in future research and used to create an appropriate contemporary sense of place. In addition to the possibility of using it as a strategy for the sustainability of heritage designs in local culture and contemporary places, not only in Jordan but also in other heritage environments, finally, some useful suggestions emerge on which future research can be based.

“…Examples from this scale include "I would not substitute (this place) for any other area" and "this place is very special to me. " Since its development, it has been deployed in numerous studies and demonstrated to be previously reliable (see Blešić et al, 2022;Escolà-Gascón et al, 2023a;Escolà-Gascón et al, 2023b). A single outcome variable was computed for each participant by summing scale items, with a maximum score of 25 indicating greater place attachment.…”

The devastating impact of COVID-19 on the mental health and well-being of individuals has led researchers to increasingly consider the importance of people-place interactions as drivers of positive mental health. This study explores people-place relationships with natural areas through the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on subjective well-being and place attachment. The study was conducted in a system of natural areas in the Niagara Region, Ontario. Through completion of self-report questionnaires, natural area users identified changes they observed in the natural areas over the COVID-19 pandemic and reported their self-perceived impact of these changes. Findings emphasize the importance of managing social and ecological changes in natural areas to preserve ecological health and user benefits.
