“…The push-pull force formed by demand and supply, known as system power, can play a key role in the development of RT. According to demand and supply theory, literature [16] investigated the regional RT development situation and summarized the RT driving mechanism of the trinity of subjective driving mechanism, objective driving mechanism, and intermediate conditions.…”

Rural tourism (RT) and cloud computing are important forces in implementing the rural revitalization strategy, and they play a key role in accelerating agriculture and rural area modernization, urban-rural integration, poverty alleviation in impoverished areas, and so on. RT’s development is influenced by a variety of factors due to its high industrial relevance and strong driving function. The development of RT is examined from the perspectives of data mining and cloud computing in this paper, and a data mining model of the RT development’s driving mechanism is built. Five driving modes of RT development are simulated by adjusting the parameters of industrial economy, resources, environment, and social culture in H city as an example. The simulation results are compared and analyzed in various modes. Finally, the coordinated development model of industrial economy, social culture, resources, and environment is found to be the best model of RT development in H city, and countermeasures and suggestions for RT development in H city are proposed based on the analysis results.

“…The system weights were 0.0380, 0.0380, 0.0866 and 0.2500, with average values of 4.059, 4.289, 3.738 and 3.615, respectively. Therefore, it can be inferred when the university agricultural extension experts are evaluated and encouraged, full account of the nature and characteristics should be taken by the agricultural extension of the university, as reported by REID (2018). The quality and effect of the agricultural extension service should be taken as evaluation standard, of which, the active participation of university experts serves as the guidance, and incentive and evaluation programs suitably customized for agricultural extension personnel.…”

“…The test station helps implement technology and increases crop yields in farmers' fields by providing consultation, demonstration and training the farmers. Additionally, it has eliminated the gaps between experts and farmers, scientific research and production, and education and implementation (TANG et al, 2015;RACHEL & ABIODUN, 2018;STUART, 2018). WEN et al (2018) analyzed the interactive relationship among government, industry, universities, research and extension and proposed a way to coordinate these aspects: taking government guidance and scientific-technological innovation as the driving forces, enterprises as the main body, universities and scientific research institutes as the technical support, and the projects as the link.…”

Wuli-Shili-Renli (WSR) methodology was used to assess the effects of systematic management on university agricultural extension test stations, in order to understand areas for further optimization. We developed a framework model and evaluation index system, of which, the weights of the evaluation index system were determined using AHP. Using an agricultural extension test station of Hebei Agricultural University as an example, we interviewed and surveyed in total of 225 university extension experts from nine test stations. Assessment showed that the test station system organization produces desirable societal benefits and improvements. In addition, the organizational structure and job allocation were found to act as high-impact factors in improving the optimal system function, with the university extension experts functional better in the incentive and guarantee mechanism than other factors. Our investigation validated that the university extension experts were critical in designing the incentives and evaluation programs.

“…In this new millennium, a new trend has emerged in the evolution of universities, the rise of so-called "living laboratories," in which universities are seen as actors, mediators, generators and solvers of environmental impact (Gu et al, 2019). The aforementioned finding surpasses the traditional concept of a "business ecosystem" (Kim et al, 2018), which involves the commitment not only of traditional actors and stakeholders in higher education but also of nongovernmental organizations, local institutions, students, educators, nonprofit organizations, the environment and local community (Reid, 2018;Thomsen et al, 2018).…”

PurposeThis study examines the factors that influence the ecotourist behavior of university students. The understanding of what motivates these students can inform future suggestions for strategies and actions in ecotourism.Design/methodology/approachThe study was applied to university students of the University of Medellín, Colombia. It was an exploratory empirical study that surveyed a total of 696 students.FindingsThe results show that students with a positive attitude toward ecology tend to be interested in nature-related activities, therefore generating an intention to engage in ecotourism. The authors found that those who view ecotourism as an activity that promotes fun and happiness tend to engage more frequently in these activities.Originality/valueThis study is of great interest for research in motivational theory, specifically the analysis of personality profiles and how these relate to specific tourism behaviors. The findings of this study strongly suggest that those interested in the management and development of ecotourism should establish practices and programs that consider factors such as tourist segmentation, effective communication of the positive qualities of ecotourism and environmental stewardship involved in these activities.
