“…In the previous studies, CA was used to identify the position of overseas golf tourism destinations by Korean golf tourists [13], to the identification of the influence of features of unemployed persons on the unemployment duration [14], to create the perception map for data describing the extent of poverty and some socio-economic characteristics [15]. MCA was used to identify socio-economic factors conditioning voluntary life insurance [16], to diagnose whether (and to what extent) banks affect the decisions and business models of enterprises [17], to know the preferences and motivations of tourists for the choice of destinations to visit [18], to identify candidate genes associated with flowering and sex determination in yams [19].…”

This research aimed to investigate how health behaviors changed during the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify the economic factors influencing these changes. There were considered income situation and labor market situation as the potential economic factors. Additionally, in the analysis, there were included other characteristics: age, gender, and education level. Health condition was considered through the prism of certain unhealthy characteristics: alcohol consumption, smoking cigarettes, lack of physical activity, and unfavorable eating habits. The study was carried out on the stratified sample of adult inhabitants of Poland (N=1067) in November 2020. To achieve the aim multiple correspondence analysis was used. The results show that the pandemic has changed health behaviors. The negative changes mainly concerned physical activity and eating habits, and only one-sixth reported an increase in alcohol use and cigarette smoking. An increase in negative health behavior was mostly associated with the following characteristics: male, lower age (between 30 and 59), employed persons, tertiary education, and higher income (the fourth and the fifth income quintile group). The exception was a physical activity, where all changes (both negative and positive) were associated with females, people with basic vocational and secondary education, the second and third quintile group, pensioners and retirees, 60 and above age.

“…A diverse form of empirical research is that aimed at assessing the benefits of investment in cultural heritage. Some studies look at the valuation of cultural landscapes and at environmental assets defined as cultural heritage [22]. Empirical assessment of the use benefits of heritage is usually straightforward, being based on measurement of observable financial flows generated by market transactions.…”

The paper deals with the topic of the allocation of resources and investment strategies in cultural built heritage. The valorization of cultural assets is often guaranteed by the intervention of public funding. The need to allocate these funds efficiently and effectively, together with the transparency duties to which public administrations are subject, necessitates a careful measurement of the economic, cultural, environmental and social effects. Accordingly, the paper outlines the starting framework of a study on the ex-post evaluation of the effectiveness of public intervention towards the restoration and valorization of three forts in the Umbertine Forts System, located in the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria, southern Italy.The open remarks raised by the preliminary step of the study evoke questions both about the topic of evaluation tools and the methods used in the ex-post evaluation of the effectiveness of public intervention towards cultural built heritage restoration and valorization, and also on the topic of local governance, strategic planning and management of cultural heritage. Keywords: Public investments Á Cultural built heritage Á Ex-post evaluation tools Á Umbertine Forts System Á Cost benefits analysis

International studies are dealing with the promotion of sustainable food systems more frequently. Additionally, places of purchase and sharing in the choice of food to be consumed have become a network system for families. The aim of this work is to analyse the preferences of Swedish consumers for local/artisanal cheeses and the purchase motivations that guide their choices. We also studied the role played by consumers’ favourite shopping locations (retail store, hypermarket, city market, supply chain). On the one hand, we examined the attractiveness and the power exercised by the various stores and on the other hand, we viewed the consumer in relation to the frequency of purchase, and the confidence with the sales points. We interviewed 200 people in the city of Östersund, highlighting habits, consumption preferences and reasons for purchasing. A multiple correspondence analysis explores the reasons behind the purchase preferences of the local ‘Källarlagrad getost’ artisan cheese from the Slow Food brand. The representations of social network analysis are used to show the complex articulations that influence the choices of consumers in terms of type of cheese purchased/consumed and places of purchase/consumption. The results showed that Swedish consumers, in the purchase of cheeses, have a loyalty point at the point of sale, follow the advice of the seller and are attentive to the reputation of the product. Those who buy Källarlagrad getost are sensitive to safety, appreciate artisan cheeses and choose them for their versatility, have a strong connection with the territory and wish to contribute to supporting the local economy. Knowing these characteristics and preferences of Swedish consumers living in a city in the north of the country is important for marketing activities and for promoting tourism and sustainable gastronomy.
