Hot spring landscapes offer enticing development prospects for investors in China. However, due to mounting economic pressures and a lack of coordination among various authorities, inclusive governance has proven ineffective in overseeing development projects centered around hot spring landscapes. Consequently, this manuscript delves into the potential for implementing inclusive governance strategies to safeguard hot spring landscapes in China. This study selected Linyi City as its study site due to its location above a fault zone, which has resulted in the presence of numerous hot springs. Additionally, it has been officially classified as a ‘hot spring city in China’ by the Chinese Ministry of Land and Resources. This study employed a semi-structured expert interview to investigate the barriers that stand in the way of applying inclusive governance to hot spring landscapes. Moreover, the interview investigates the implications of the lack of utilization of inclusive governance strategies for hot spring landscapes. The analysis of the results indicates that experts believed that the current protection policies were ineffective due to the existence of a multitude of barriers, such as the existence of deficiencies in the current policies, the multiplicity of management authorities, differences in visions in decision-making, limited public participation, a lack of awareness and trust from the public, a lack of balance in development approaches, and a limited role of science and technology. This resulted in a lack of proper communication and delegation of responsibilities with regard to inclusive governance strategies for protecting hot spring landscapes. Furthermore, the analysis unveiled diverse implications arising from the non-application of inclusive governance strategies, encompassing aspects such as tourism, economics, environment, sociocultural, and sustainability.

“…Construction projects distinctive in that they involve several stakeholders, fragmented procedures, and interaction; like to other endeavours, they are limited by time and resources (material and human) that are required to complete the projects [1]. It follows that the protracted process of designing and carrying out construction projects is a complex system that necessitates cooperation and negotiation among numerous stakeholders, including but not limited to clients, designers, contractors, local authorities, and the project's overall environment [2]. Stakeholders in projects are the various parties participating in the project, both directly and indirectly.…”

Due to the involvement of multiple parties, including clients, contractors, subcontractors, regulatory bodies, local communities, and environmental organizations, the construction business is intrinsically complicated. Achieving project objectives, minimizing conflicts, and addressing a variety of interests all depend on effective stakeholder management. In this research, the various challenges faced by the stakeholders are identified. Alongside, the current practices followed by the stakeholders in the construction projects are explored. Based on that, the factors affecting stakeholders’ management on project performance are investigated. This research aims at identifying the most critical factors affecting the stakeholder’s performance across project success through a conceptual framework. This paper explains the direct impact made in project cycle due to stakeholder performance and major problems faced by the construction industries due to improper allocation of stakeholders. A review of earlier stakeholder management research is conducted to accomplish this goal. Keywords: Construction, stakeholders, performance, framework

Communication strategies of promoting goods, services and brands form an integral part of marketing strategies. Resolving the problem of choosing communication strategy is based on expert opinion of one or several specialists, whose position can be taken by professionals in promotion of commercial and social goods. The goal is to choose the best alternative of conducting communication campaigns based on its potential effectiveness. The article uses mathematic tools of fluctuating set of indistinct linguistic terms in order to resolve the problem of choosing communication strategy for social projects. On this basis the task was formulated for decision-making concerning the choice of marketing strategy in conditions of uncertainty and an example was provided for choosing communication strategy of promoting a social project. As an example of using these tools the inter-regional literature camping ‘War and Peace’ was studied, where a multitude of 3 alternatives was formed, expert opinions in the form of linguistic expressions were obtained and the multitude of alternatives was regulated on the basis of non-dominant strategy. Findings of the research show possibility to use indistinct linguistic computing model for decision-making in marketing.
