“…Consequently, the international tourist arrivals are increasing rapidly (as shown in figure.6). As a signatory of the Convention, Jordan was the primary country within the Middle East to be awarded a multi-million dollar pilot project underneath the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to develop a regional model of integrated conservation and development (El-Harami, 2014).…”

“…They're designated for several reasons: the strategic location of the destination, the distinctive ecological characteristics, the unique nature, the link with the local culture and communities, and the most significant reason is its success and positive impact on their communities and economy. These countries also have been selected specifically based on different criteria such as social, economic, environmental and political criteria, as follows (EK, 2016), (El-Harami, 2014), ( Baken, 2010):…”

Community-Based Ecotourism Development (CBE) strategy is considered the logical link between the environment, local community, and tourism industry. It emphasizes on locals' support and the fact that encouragement and motivation are the only ways to attain the protection of the environment and the enhancement of tourism development. Ecotourism practices in many countries faced various obstacles that hinder their success such as lack of training, services, infrastructure, and marketing budget. Therefore, The CBE strategies have been formulated by some developing countries to fill in these gaps. These governments have actually succeeded in the implementation of those strategies, and it showed a positive impact on economic development, environmental management, and local community empowerment. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the characteristics of successful community-based ecotourism initiatives and identify the principles of a successful CBE development strategy and its indicators, by analyzing the different implemented strategies in those developing countries, using the analytical and comparative approach. The paper focused on four developing countries, which are: Kenya, Jordan, Tunisia, and India, in addition to their strategic locations and their unique ecological characteristics, the case studies were selected also based on their followed successful techniques in facing their economic, social, political, and ecological problems and challenges. The paper concludes the methods used to measure the success of these strategies by identifying several and varied indicators that should be taken into account to ensure their effectiveness and sustainability.

Optimizing hybrid thermal systems for domestic heating systems is essential to achieve maximum energy efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and decrease overall expenses. This research focuses on utilizing solar energy through evacuated tube solar water systems in conjunction with fuel-based (LPG or diesel) boilers or electric heat pumps for heating residential homes in various climate zones across Jordan. The contributions of each subsystem of thermal energy production were assessed using a one-year dynamic simulation using simulation software TSOL and Meteonorm. A variety of optimization methods are then employed to study and compare several parameters, including station rankings as well as technical and environmental factors. The optimization methods Best-Worst Method BWM yields the highest and lowest weights for the total solar fraction and solar contribution to heating, respectively. After station rankings were conducted using the ARAS, VIKOR, TOPSIS, MOORA, and AHP methodologies, the Maan and Amman stations were identified as most relevant and inappropriate for ETSW use. The annual production of 115.38 GJ utilizing ETSW at the stations under study reduced CO2 emissions by 12.18 tons. The largest losses, accounting for 60.25% and 33.86% of the total losses, respectively, were identified as thermal and optical losses for Maan station. Thus, this study's findings demonstrate the potential of optimized hybrid thermal systems, integrating solar energy with conventional heating methods, to significantly enhance energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and lower overall expenses in residential heating across diverse climate zones in Jordan.
