“…Industrial rural development has resulted in the evolution of rural functions and the modification of industrial rural structures on a global scale. Although industrial rural and manufacturing models had previously promoted economic development and increased the income of rural residents, they significantly impacted land use patterns and rural environments, which is unfavorable for sustainable development [6]. Recent major economic and social reforms have driven the development of tourism, which has, in turn, promoted the development of the national economy through industrial, agricultural, construction, transportation and trade activities [7,8].…”

Remote Sensing-Based Analysis of Landscape Pattern Evolution in Industrial Rural Areas: A Case of Southern Jiangsu, China

2019

With the rapid economic development of industrial rural areas in Southern Jiangsu, the rural landscape and ecological environment of these industrial rural areas are getting damaged. Based on GIS and RS techniques, Landsat Satellite remote sensing images from 1981, 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2018 were collected for Jiangyin, Zhangjiagang, Changshu and Kunshan, to extract landscape pattern indexes and spatial distribution data. Landscape pattern indexes of the patch-class level and landscape level from each year were calculated by FRAGSTATS. After analyzing and comparing landscape pattern variation of five years, progress, characteristics and driving forces of landscape pattern evolution were explored. At the patch-class level, construction land had continuously encroached on green and cultivated land, exhibiting trends of expansion and centralization. At the landscape level, the number of small patches and degree of landscape fragmentation generally increased. The direct cause of landscape pattern evolution in industrial rural areas of Southern Jiangsu was the encroachment and segmentation of green and cultivated land by construction land, and the dominant factors driving the changes in construction land in the industrial rural areas of Southern Jiangsu were the effects of land and population aggregation exerted by the development of township enterprises and rural industries.

“…The study shows that the diversification of tourism activities within the analyzed context has a statistically significant effect on social sustainability (measured by the HDI), which highlights the relevance of using tourism to promote the development of the region and seeks to mitigate, with the tourism industry and its varieties, the unfavorable conditions mentioned above [11,12,33].…”

“…It is widely recognized that tourism affects the livelihoods of the communities of destination for both good and bad [11,12,33]. Therefore, in the tourism setting, the possibility that a tourist destination or product may go through a phase of decline must be considered.…”

“…In that sense, it is relevant to recognize the impact of the diversity in TSPs on economic growth and social sustainability, given that activities such as ecotourism, rural tourism, soft tourism, alternative tourism, and many other terms describe the tourism activity in peripheral rural areas, and tourism in general is recognized as a sustainable way to develop regions that have abundant tourism resources. Thus, it is interesting to analyze different forms of tourist activities [12].…”

Diversification in Tourism-Related Activities and Social Sustainability in the State of Hidalgo, Mexico

2019

The objective of this paper is to explore the empirical relationships between the economic diversification of tourism-specific products (TSPs) and human development (as a key piece of social sustainability) at the sub-state level using the scenario of the State of Hidalgo in the year 2014 (the most recent period available) as the context for the study. The first step was to develop an algebraic analysis using the reflection method (RM) to map, for the first time, the diversity and ubiquity of the municipalities of Hidalgo in relation to tourism-related activities in the region. Secondly, additional diversity proxy measures were calculated, namely Shannon’s entropy and the Hirshman–Herfindalhl index, using employment data derived from the TSPs. This allowed us to run a series of regressions that show the explanatory power of the diversification of tourism-related activities on human development. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that the diversification of tourism activities within the analyzed context is essential for social sustainability, which frames the relevance of tourism to promote the development of the region. Finally, it is noted that one of the greatest contributions of this research is the provision of empirical evidence regarding the diversity of the TSPs in a specific context, because given the peculiar structure of tourism, it is not easy to quantify the diversification of the tourism sector in an economy.

“…Tourists themselves have evolved over the years (Kastenholz, 2004) they want a personalised tourist experience (Buonincontri et al, 2017), look for authenticity (Peterson, 2005), they have a great interest in the environment and territory (Lanfranchi et al, 2014;Simone et al, 2018), and view their holiday as an opportunity to improve their knowledge of cultures and places (Villani & Dall'Ara, 2015). These new aspects are reflected in the hotel's strategies based on a co-evolutionary approach from-territory in experiential perspective (Cucari et al, 2019). The Albergo Difuso is one of the best example of this evolution: a new way through old or historic structures.…”

The phenomenon of Albergo Diffuso (AD) represents an important development in the competitiveness between destinations and concerns the way in which historical and cultural heritage is used. The concept of AD is a new and innovative meaning of tourism which promotes the sustainable future through the recovery of ancient towns and, in the same time, developes further ways to create entrepreneurship. The goal of this work consists of the economic valuation model and conceptual defining of brand value referred to one case study of AD, Sextantio. It is made up of two parts: the first consists of a contextualization of one of the traditional formulas of Financial-Standard Method of Brand Value, because of the features of brand value in an economic content; the second part consists of a first classification of elements which are tangible and intangible to a brand of AD, related to the specific elements and based on different key performance indicators (KPI), deriving from elements generally relevant in hospitality tourism, and far more in this new concept than against the traditional concept of tourism.
