“…The scientific rigor and precision of carbon emission inventories are critical in pinpointing emission sources, evaluating potential reduction measures, and shaping as well as appraising mitigation strategies 34 . Recent research has expanded the ambit of carbon footprint assessments, underscoring the significance of sector-specific analyses in domains such as households 35 – 39 , food systems 10 , 40 , 41 , and transportation sectors 42 – 44 . This underlines the need for quantifying carbon emissions with enhanced spatial and temporal resolution.…”

With the continuous increase in carbon dioxide emissions due to human activities and the resulting severe climate issues, there is global concern about energy conservation and emission reduction. However, detailed data on energy consumption and emissions at a fine-grained scale, particularly regarding spatial dimensions and sector-specific emissions, remains insufficient and in need of refinement and timely updates. In Japan, following the Fukushima nuclear disaster, there has been a significant shift from nuclear power generation to reliance on fossil fuels across various sectors, highlighting disparities in emissions data across different regions and industries. Our work extends the emissions time series for Japan’s 47 prefectures, incorporating their socioeconomic characteristics over a broader time frame and with a more detailed sectoral classification. The emissions inventory, covering the period from 1990 to 2020, is based on the consumption of the three main fossil fuels across 32 sectors, with emissions carefully allocated for regional power generation. This dataset, presented in a unified format, is expanded to include longer time scales and more detailed socioeconomic data. It is anticipated to offer crucial insights for establishing regional emission reduction targets and identifying sectoral priorities for decarbonization.

“…A more specific approach to managing travelrelated carbon footprints is the application of mobility budgets. Scholars have highlighted that the mode of transportation has the most substantial impact on the per capita carbon footprint (Bhoyar et al, 2014;Li et al, 2021). To tackle this concern, adopting mobility budgets offers a more focused strategy for addressing carbon footprints associated with travel.…”

A series of initiatives have been adopted in the European Union to address greenhouse gas emissions and establish a society that is resilient to climate change. In response to these initiatives, the implementation of mobility budgets offers a more precise strategy for addressing carbon footprints associated with travel. Prioritizing localized carbon footprint control, mobility budgets are calculated and customized according to distinct regions, goals, and target demographics. When prioritizing the mobility budget as the central objective in municipal transport route planning, the focus should encompass principles of fairness and equity in travel. This entails considering factors such as accessibility, variety of mobility choices, inclusivity of transportation modes, and social justice. Therefore, this article aims to formulate an enhanced activity modelling methodology that would aid data-driven decision-making in municipal transport route planning, while upholding the principles of travel fairness and equity. Тhe results obtained from scrutinizing data related to public bus services and mobile networks are presented. The evaluation of Jelgava’s city transportation network to facilitate mobility budget reduction is undertaken, and this assessment is based on an analysis of data derived from a survey on public transport use coupled with an examination of the city’s mobility budget. The research presents the communication challenges that municipalities will face in planning and implementing changes that are needed to meet the greenhouse gas emission targets and outlines the possible use of visualization tools for modelling, explanation and communication of scenarios.

“…In the realm of tourism, academia has researched the vital implications of transportation for tourism in the early time and concluded that transportation exists as a cross-domain behavior of tourists to get rid of the spatial constraints posed by geographical locations, which can meet their demands such as the needs for entertainment, consumption, experience, and learning (Ho et al, 2020) and facilitate the effective connection between points of tourist psychological perception. Specifically, the research on the connection of transportation covers a wide range of subjects, including the research on leisure and mobility-oriented use of railway transportation (Li et al, 2021), bus competitiveness based on a comparative assessment of the experience (Altieri et al, 2021), and the impact imposed by the accessibility of air transport on the development of tourism (Papatheodorou, 2021). Previous studies have carried out numerous attempts on the regularity of impact imposed by the special incident of the COVID-19 pandemic, and elaborated on the new situation of COVID-19 with the current measures of pandemic prevention and control, in addition to the resource planning related to the demand preferences of tourists (Florido-Benitez, 2021).…”

As it is essential to explore the influence of social communications on transportation routes in tourism, this article aims to examine the impacts of social communications on transportation routes in the field of tourism and to further explore the relationship between tourism destinations and their psychological perceptions. In terms of links between different tourism destinations in space and time dimensions, our empirical analysis draws the following conclusions: (1) the behavior of tourist flow is a mediating variable on the links between tourist psychological perceptions and tour routes; (2) three modes of point-line interaction are presented in the space and time of tourism destinations; and (3) the scenic city’s location, name, and features are important to tourists’ psychological perceptions.
