“…Walking is positioned and understood as a socio-technical assemblage that enables speci c attention to be drawn to the embodied, material and technological relations and their signi cance for engaging with everyday urban movements on foot (Middleton, 2010). Generating a more grounded and embodied understanding of everyday life and spatial practices (De Certeau & Rendall, 2000;Svensson, 2021) to construct foundation perception of and interaction with surroundings (Krishna, 2012;Li et al, 2023) from the appeals of environmental to the ve senses.…”

“…However, the embodied experiences that lead to cognitive reactions, behavior yet remain unexplained in tourism context (Kock & Ringberg, 2019). Despite an expanding body of work acknowledging tourists' sensorial connections with destinations, sensory research in tourism remains fragmented (Li et al, 2023), as well as the eld of city walk.

The study aims to fill the gaps in theoretical studies of the new travel trend of city walk in Malaysia from the perspective of embodiment with factors of sensory experience, visitor engagement, authenticity, and behavioral intention. Memorable tourism experiences and perceived risk are mediators and moderators between embodied cognition and behavioral intention, MTEs, and behavioral intention. Chinese tourists who are the major international tourist in Malaysia were taken into the investigation. The results show that sensory experience and existential authenticity have a positive effect on behavioral intention, MTEs play a mediating role in the relationships of sensory experience, authenticity, and behavioral intention. there is no significant mediation effect between visitor engagement and behavioral intention through MTEs. Perceived risk also shows no significant moderating effect on behavioral intention in city walk in Malaysia. This study provides new conceptual frameworks and research perspectives on City walk in Malaysia with theoretical and practical contributions leading to further study and city tour development practices.

“…Traditional tourist maps utilize basic elements such as marks, symbols, colors, legends, and scale to represent landmarks and points of interest [9][10][11], or to display self-designed evaluation indicators [18,19] for cities and scenic spots. These methods fulfill the fundamental requirements of tourists, helping them choose potential destinations and plan their routes.…”

Tourist maps provide tourists with destination information that reflects their unique characteristics and cultural connotations and play an important role in attracting tourists and serving marketing purposes. However, existing designs of tourist maps often ignore the importance of cultural resource selection and the relationship between maps and structural linguistics, thereby affecting the narrative function and representativeness of tourist maps. This study utilizes the local chronicle as a data source and proposes a novel visual narrative framework (VNF) for tourist maps. The VNF combines Todorov’s narrative hierarchy and Roth’s visual storytelling tropes to establish a mapping between map elements and narrative elements. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the VNF, the Songshan Scenic Area was selected as a case study. By applying the VNF, highly characteristic and meaningful colors, figurative hand-painted symbols, and scene symbols are selected and integrated into the map design to enhance the artistic value and narrative of the map. This framework reveals the potential cultural value of local chronicles and can serve as a reference for other historical tourist cities, contributing to the preservation of local cultural heritage.

This research was conducted to develop tourist attractions, especially cultural tourism attractions in the community area around Sawaswareesrimaram Temple, Dusit district, Bangkok. The objective is to develop spatial potential by applying geographic information systems for mapping local communities in location determination, planning, and spatial development. The methodology was obtained from field surveys by recording the coordinates of cultural tourist attractions with Global Positioning System (GPS) and using geographic information systems for mapping. It also adopts the principle of analyzing the density of attractions with Kernel Density. The results reveal that there were 4 types of cultural attractions in Dusit District: Institution, Palace and Museum, Religious places, and Restaurant – Street food. The distribution pattern of most cultural attractions was in the south-western area of the study area, with the density of cultural attractions greater than 1 km2. Cultural attractions in the form of Restaurant and Street food were found to have a very high density in the Sri Yan area, showing a level greater than 1 km2 along Sam Sen road and Nakhon Chai Si road. As for Thewet district, there was a density level of 0.2-0.6 km2, which were all distributions of street food, dense at the intersection of roads. In summary, the mapping can provide local people with a tool for planning cultural sites, to enhance their livelihoods, love and cherish their homeland, and increase their income, leading to future tourism developments.
