Abstract:
The Cook Islands is the largest of several Pacific island microstates experiencing absolute population decline, raising questions over national viability. Since its peak of 21,300 in 1971 the population has almost halved, mainly through depopulation of the twelve outer islands. The population of the main island, Rarotonga, has remained constant. Decline has been particularly rapid following economic problems and restructuring in the mid-1990s, while return migration has been slight. Skilled migrants, especially health workers, have been most prone to migration, for educational, economic and social reasons, facilitated by unimpeded entry into Australia and New Zealand. Workers increasingly join the health system with the intention of subsequent migration. Both the education and health system are short of skilled workers, and service delivery is worsening. Economic growth through tourism may slow migration, but will not prevent it, and further overall population decline seems probable.

Abstract:
We examine whether tourism sector development measured by visitor arrivals per capita has asymmetric growth effects in the Cook Islands using quarterly data from 2010Q1 to 2016Q3. Asymmetric cointegration, long-run elasticities, and dynamic multipliers are estimated using the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model developed by Shin et al. Asymmetric causality testing is done using the asymmetric vector autoregression approach with insights from Hatemi-J. We identify structural breaks using the Lee and Strazicich multiple endogenous structural break unit root test. The results indicate that a 1% increase in visitor arrivals would increase gross domestic product (GDP) per capita by 0.92%, whereas a 1% decrease in visitor arrivals would decrease GDP per capita by 0.34%. The identified breaks, 2013Q2 and 2015Q3, are positive and significant in the short run only. The causality result confirms a bidirectional association, thus mutually reinforcing the asymmetric relationship between visitor arrivals and economic growth.

Abstract:
Abstract The expected growth of the global economy and the projected rise in world population call for a greatly increased supply of materials critical for implementing clean technologies, such as rare earth elements (REEs) and other rare metals. Because the demand for critical metals is increasing and land-based mineral deposits are being depleted, seafloor resources are seen as the next frontier for mineral exploration and extraction. Marine mineral deposits with a great resource potential for transition, rare, and critical metals include mainly deep-sea mineral deposits, such as polymetallic sulfides, polymetallic nodules, cobalt-rich crusts, phosphorites, and rare earth element-rich muds. Major areas with economic interest for seabed mineral exploration and mining are the following: nodules in the Penrhyn Basin-Cook Islands Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the Clarion–Clipperton nodule Zone, Peru Basin nodules, and the Central Indian Ocean Basin; seafloor massive sulfide deposits in the exclusive economic zones of Papua New Guinea, Japan, and New Zealand as well as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the three Indian Ocean spreading ridges; cobalt-rich crusts in the Pacific Prime Crust Zone and the Canary Islands Seamounts and the Rio Grande Rise in the Atlantic Ocean; and the rare earth element-rich deep-sea muds around Minamitorishima Island in the equatorial North Pacific. In addition, zones for marine phosphorites exploration are located in Chatham Rise, offshore Baja California, and on the shelf off Namibia. Moreover, shallow-water resources, like placer deposits, represent another marine source for many critical minerals, metals, and gems. The main concerns of deep-sea mining are related to its environmental impacts. Ecological impacts of rare earth element mining on deep-sea ecosystems are still poorly evaluated. Furthermore, marine mining may cause conflicts with various stakeholders such as fisheries, communications cable owners, offshore wind farms, and tourism. The global ocean is an immense source of food, energy, raw materials, clean water, and ecosystem services and suffers seriously by multiple stressors from anthropogenic sources. The development of a blue economy strategy needs a better knowledge of the environmental impacts. By protecting vulnerable areas, applying new technologies for deep-sea mineral exploration and mining, marine spatial planning, and a regulatory framework for minerals extraction, we may achieve sustainable management and use of our oceans.

Abstract:
International visitor surveys (IVS) are traditionally designed to provide destinations with marketing data and intelligence. The New Zealand Tourism Research Institute has been developing new approaches to IVS implementation and data collection in the Pacific Islands that can provide a much richer source of information [1]. The research outlined here is the first to utilise an IVS to explore the positioning of cuisine in the culinary identity of a destination – specifically, the cuisine of the Cook Islands. The Cook Islands is known primarily for its sun, sea and sand features, rather than its culinary attributes. Drawing on data mining of the Cook Islands IVS (2012–2016) and a web audit of destination websites and menus, this paper considers the positioning of food and food-related activities within the Pacific nation’s tourism experience. National tourism organisations are increasingly seeking competitive advantage by utilising their local cuisines as tourist attractions. Research suggests that distinctive local cuisines can act as both a tourism attraction, and as a means of shaping the identity of a destination [2, 3]. In addition to providing an important source of marketable images, local cuisine can also provide a unique experience for tourists. This reinforces the competitiveness and sustainability of the destination [2]. The cuisine of the Cook Islands has come up repeatedly in recommendations for how the country can grow its tourism revenue. Recommendations have been made to improve the food product on offer, develop a distinctive Cook Islands cuisine based on fresh, local produce, and to promote a Cook Islands cuisine experience [4, 5], and to use these to market the Cook Islands as a destination for local food tourism experiences [4]. Despite these recommendations, Cook Island cuisine features less prominently than stereotypical sun, sea, and sand marketing images, and little is known about tourists’ perceptions of and satisfaction with food and food-related activities [6]. Our research addresses this gap by mining IVS data to gain a deeper understanding of tourists’ experiences and perceptions of food in the Cook Islands and assessing whether local food can be positioned as means of creating a unique destination identity. Two methods were used to develop a picture of where food sits in the Cook Islands tourist experience: one focussed on tourist feedback; and the other focused on how food is portrayed in relevant online media. Analysis of all food-related data collected as part of the national IVS between 1 April 2012 and 30 June 2016 was conducted (N = 10,950). A web audit also focused on how food is positioned as part of the Cook Islands tourism product. After identifying the quantitative food-related questions in the IVS, satisfaction with these activities was analysed. Qualitative comments related to food experiences were also examined. The results suggest that participation in food-related activities is generally a positive feature of the visitor experience. The web-audit revealed, however, that food is not a salient feature in the majority of Cook Islands-related websites, and when food did feature, it tended to be oriented towards international cuisine with a ‘touch of the Pacific’ rather than specifically Cook Islands cuisine. This reinforced findings from the IVS data mining that Cook Islands food is presented as a generic tropical ‘seafood and fruit’ cuisine that, largely, lacks the defining and differentiating features of authentic Cook Island cuisine. High participation rates in food-related activities and overall positive evaluations by visitors emerged from the IVS data, yet a dearth of images and information on the country’s food suggests that the Cook Islands is not exploiting its cuisine and food experiences to their full potential. As a direct result of this secondary analysis of IVS data, which highlighted the importance of and potential for food-related activities, the Cook Islands Government is now actively addressing this gap by developing a range of food-related resources and information that can better link tourism to local cuisine. In addition to developing a greater presence of local food in online resources, the Cook Islands Tourism Corporation has also taken on board the messages from the IVS to drive the development of Takurua [7] – an initiative to develop and document local, traditional cuisine and share it with the world. This approach is part of a broader ongoing effort to differentiate the Cook Islands from other South Pacific destinations through its unique cultural attributes. Data mining and secondary analysis of IVS data has not been restricted to the identification of food-related opportunities. Secondary analysis of IVS data in the Pacific has also been used to investigate the impact of other niche markets such as events [8] and to gauge the impact of environmental incidents, for example Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu [9] and algal bloom in the Cook Islands [10], thus reinforcing that IVS data are a rich source of information and are indeed more than just numbers.

Abstract:
Islands turismutveckling har genomgått stora förändringar under det senaste decenniet och turismen har ökat rekordartat, vilket har medfört att turismindustrin ligger steget efter utvecklingen på flera plan, däribland turisternas säkerhet. Det framgår att både trafikincidenter och olyckor i naturen ökar i takt med att turisterna blir fler. En av de mest olycksdrabbade natursevärdheterna är den populära lavastranden Reynisfjara. I studien undersöks hur organisationer och aktörer kopplade till turism på Island hanterar och planerar för risker på natursevärdheter. Undersökningen baseras på nio kvalitativa intervjuer med isländska organisationer och turismaktörer, däribland turistrådet, polisen, markägare och ett räddningsteam. Vidare undersöks Reynisfjara i en fallstudie där faktorer som påverkar turisters säkerhet definieras. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna inkluderar planering, riskhantering och kommunikation. Resultatet visar att trafikolyckor är de vanligaste incidenterna bland turister. Således utgör den fysiska planeringen inom infrastrukturen en påverkande faktor för säkerheten. En ytterligare på-verkande faktor är turisters riskbenägenhet och hänsynslöshet gentemot risker. Resultatet visar vidare att turisters säkerhet på natursevärdheter påverkas av i vilken utsträckning inblandade aktörer planerar för riskhantering. Ett systematiskt arbetssätt för planeringsprocessen saknas och säkerhets-åtgärder vidtas främst när en olycka redan inträffat. Samarbetet kring resursfördelning och lagstiftning mellan myndigheter och aktörer inom turismindustrin, visar sig vara avgörande för att öka säkerheten. Avslutningsvis visar studien att de inblandade aktörerna inte är en enhetlig grupp avseende planering, riskhantering och ansvarsområden. Riskhanteringen på Island utgörs idag av ett fleraktörssystem, vilket har lett till en splittrad ansvarsfördelning. Ansvaret för turisternas säkerhet ligger i deras egna händer.
Icelandic tourism development has undergone major changes over the past decade, tourism has increased rapidly, which has lead to the tourism industry being behind in developments on several levels, including tourist’s safety. It appears that both traffic incidents and accidents in the nature increases as the tourists increase. Reynisfjara a lava beach, is one of the most popular nature attractions and also were accidents occure among tourists. In this study organizations and operators connected to tourism in Iceland are examined on how they manage and plan regarding risks in natural attractions. The survey is based on interviews with nine organizations and tourism stakeholders, including the Icelandic Tourist Board, the police, landowner, rescue team and a case study on Reynisfjara where factors affecting tourists safety are defined. The theoretical approach includes planning, risk management and cooperation. The results show that the most common accidents among tourists are traffic accidents. Thus the planning of physical infrastructure is an influencing factor. Another influencing factor is the tourists' tendency and recklessness against the risks. It appears that the tourists' safety in natural attractions are influenced by the extent to which those involved are planning for risk management. A systematic approach to planning is lacking and safety measures are mainly done when an accident has already occurred. Cooperation on the allocation of resources and legislation between the authorities and operators in the tourism industry, proves to be crucial to increase safety. The study shows that the players involved are not a unified group regarding planning, risk management and responsibilities. Risk management in Iceland today consists of a multi-operator system, which has led to fragmented responsibilities. Responsibility for tourists' safety lies in their own hands.

ABSTRACT The cost of doing nothing would be very high on the fragile national ecosystems andultimately on the society of the Seychelles. ’Seychelles National Report 2012 p55 This Minor Field Study, undertaken as a Bachelor’s thesis, aims to research the Seychelleswork with sustainable tourism development and its challenges. The study was conducted onsite for two months in cooperation with the Seychelles Tourism Board. The national strategyfor sustainable tourism development is intended to maintain the uniqueness of Seychelles.Seychelles has for over 30 years been a global leader in protecting biodiversity and naturalenvironment and 51 % of the total land area consists of conservation areas. On the otherhand, Seychelles main source of income is tourism, with 40 % of the inhabitants directly orindirectly depending on tourism. As one of our interviewees put it: “the more tourism, themerrier”. The country will get better infrastructure and more jobs because of it and howcould that spoil the environment? This study looks into hotels perceptions of sustainabledevelopment in the tourism industry, their work with sustainable practices and thoughtsconcerning ecolabelling. Results show dissatisfaction with the government and that betterenvironmental governance is needed. The recent rapid development of new hotels isbecoming a rather problematic situation due to higher competition, infrastructural problemsand lack of labour force. The interest in an eco label is high, although they believe it iscomplicated to implement and is perceived as expensive. On the other hand, hotels are moreor less working in a sustainable way already.Regardless of the sustainable tourism development initiative, our interviewees had afear that Seychelles is becoming a mass tourism destination. They demand that this trend bestopped. We ask therefore, is more really merrier?

Abstract:
Tourism is a salient contemporary context for tangled cross-cultural experiences and representations. Holidaying tourists, and those people who deal with tourists in 'host' countries, focus on making the present holiday moment a significant event. But while emphasis appears to be on the present time this relies on recourse to notions of past. For most tourists to the Cook Islands their own societies' pasts are imagined (even fictionalised), romanticised, and reflected in their experiences on holiday of a simpler, more relaxed pace of life. Further connections are made by contemporary tourists to other pasts - those earlier perspectives of other Western travellers, such as explorers and travel writers, who have gazed at and experienced the islands in former times. Tourists seek authenticity both in themselves and in the people and places they visit and for Cook Islanders engaged in the tourism industry there is also a concern with authenticity. Expressions of national and cultural identities are performed to tourists and to themselves. Tourists are encouraged to participate in life in the Cooks while there, emphasising Cook Islanders' capacity for generosity and inclusivity - a statement of cultural authenticity. This is a story of tourists' ('guests') and Cook Islanders' ('hosts') experiences and representations of peoples and places through the tourism industry. It questions the relationship of 'tourism' and culture' in tourism encounters. Rather than assuming that the hosts' culture is necessarily negatively impacted by tourism, it examines the lived experiences of Cook Islanders who work with tourism and how they talk about and perform their own expressions of identity. The ethnography further questions notions of dwelling and movement, considering tourists and Cook Islanders in place and on the move. Being on the move and being in place are examined through narrative points of reflection made by the ethnographer. Broader reflections on how anthropologists practise and how we conceive of our practice ripple out from this ethnographic inquiry.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the opportunities and constraints of a community economic development approach to tourism planning using the case study of Haida Gwaiil/the Queen Charlotte Islands. This thesis will be useful for tourism planners seeking an alternative approach to tourism development and for CED practitioners interested in how tourism can fit into an overall community economic development plan. Finding alternatives to mainstream tourism planning is increasingly important as many communities are now looking to tourism to fill gaps left in their economies from the decline of more traditional resource-based industries. Planning is the process of trying to put development theories into practice in order to control, or at least influence, future events in our favour. How we approach tourism planning will depend on the development theory to which we subscribe. There are three different approaches to development as they are reflected in tourism planning in the post war period. The first is mainstream development, the second is an ‘impact critique’ and finally, community economic development. In January 19911 was contracted by the Queen Charlotte Is1ands Regional Economic Development Initiative to work (amongst other things) with a citizen’s committee involved with developing a tourism plan for the Islands. The tourism plan began as a mainstream planning exercise concerned only with economic growth. However, as Islanders became more involved it switched first to an impact critique approach and finally to a full CED model. The CED-oriented plan has not yet been completed so in chapter 4 I have delineated what such a plan might look like extrapolating from the materials gathered throughout the process so that we can better evaluate its merits. What I found was that CED does indeed offer an useful alternative approach to tourism planning for some rural communities. It allows for the community to enhance the quality of life for residents, it identifies the special needs of local businesses to compete with outside agents, and it engages people in an educative process which enhances the ability of the community to manage the process once the planning is completed. Still, it is not without its own limitations. The amount of local control existing is seldom adequate for the management of a CED oriented plan. It is likely to bring less money into the economy. It is a difficult and challenging process and requires a significant commitment by the community both in finances and time. Finally, by considering tourism in isolation from other sectors and issues one loses the advantage an integrated community economic development approach.

Abstract:
Tourism is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world and bears significant weight in global economic terms. However, there are concerns about the sustainability of the industry from an environmental and social/cultural perspective. One of the world’s top ten international tourism destinations, Thailand, had a record-breaking 39 million international tourists in 2019 but is expected to fall to around 14 million in 2020, the lowest level in 14 years, due to COVID-19. These impacts can be especially severe in small tropical islands where the land base is small, resources scarce, and local populations have low incomes and limited opportunities for livelihood diversification. Especially amid a global pandemic and the impending risks of climate change, it is crucial to reset, carefully consider concerns about sustainable tourism development, and move forward with management regimes that better embrace sustainability principles. This thesis examines the application of sustainable tourism using Koh Phangan, Koh Samui, and Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand as case studies to aid in sustainability planning for the future, particularly for island tourism destinations. Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire administered to 1261 tourists visiting the three islands during the peak tourism season (January to March) of 2018. The findings are presented within this thesis in three papers. The first paper focussed on the behavioral approach and compared visitors to each island, noting differences in tourist demographics, travel characteristics, motivation factors, and areas of management concern identified. The second paper focussed on the limits of acceptable change approach and used cluster analysis of visitor motivations to identify three types of visitors that were described in terms of the specialization concept: Cluster 1 (“very high importance generalists”), Cluster 2 (“high importance generalists”), and cluster 3 (“mixed importance”). While cluster 1 had the greatest mean importance scores for all environmental, social, economic, and logistical factors, it identified the most areas of concern whereas cluster 3 identified the least. The third paper explored scenario planning as a vehicle for sustainable tourism planning on the island of Koh Phangan and was framed within the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC), Tourism Opportunity Spectrum (TOS), and Ecotourism Opportunity Spectrum (ECOS) models. Most respondents preferred the “green scenario” in terms of accessibility, amount of visitors, development, food and accommodation, transportation around the island, traffic, waste management, water storage, and the scale of tourism. Collectively, these findings suggest that tourists can play an important role in identifying management priorities and that tourists tend to support a more sustainable tourism industry, as opposed to a focus on “mass tourism”, sometimes referred to as “sun, sea, sand” tourism. The study argues for adopting place-based planning practices and creating educational opportunities to ensure that the benefits of tourism are not outweighed by the costs. Especially as the tourism industry continues to expand, there is often a push to enhance visitation and the economic benefits that tourism provides; however, it is important to consider the environmental, social, economic, and logistical capacities of a tourism destination.

O planeamento estratégico turístico é um instrumento que ajuda a definir politicas e processos de implementação de estratégias competitivas e inovadoras num destino. Desenvolve a compatibilidade entre o atendimento das necessidades sociais e económicas com as necessidades de preservação do ambiente, recursos naturais, cultura e costumes, de modo a assegurar a sustentabilidade do destino como produto turístico. Este projeto vem corroborar que, num concelho como Vila Franca do Campo, onde os recursos são limitados, mas com qualidade suficiente para ser um destino sustentável, é essencial a implementação de um plano turístico integrado e estratégico. A partir de uma revisão de literatura relevante neste domínio efetuou-se entrevistas a empresários turísticos, entidades públicas e residentes na comunidade local. Verificou-se que não foi definida, até à data, nenhuma estratégia de planificação do turismo em Vila Franca do Campo. No entanto os agentes locais reconhecem a necessidade e a importância da sua existência, implementação e monitorização. Este plano constitui-se como ponto de partida para a implementação de uma estratégia planeada neste concelho, que permite o desenvolvimento do turismo a nível local e com isto melhorar ou potenciar os benefícios económicos, ambientais, históricos e socioculturais no concelho de Vila Franca do Campo.
ABSTRACT: Tourism strategic planning is a tool that helps policies definition and process implementation of competitive and innovative strategies in a destination. It develops the compatibility between the social and economic needs with the need for environmental preservation, natural resource and culture in order to ensure sustainability in a destination as a tourism product. This project corroborates that in a place like Vila Franca do Campo, where resources are limited but with enough quality to make it a sustainable destination, it is essential to implement an integrated and strategic tourism plan. After a literature review in this area, interviews were conducted with tourism operators, public partners and local residents. It was found that, a planning strategy is not aplicated to date. However, local actors (stakeholders) recognize the need and the importance of its existence, implementation and monitoring. This plan constitutes the starting point for the implementation of a planned strategy in Vila Franca do Campo, which allows the development of tourism at the local level and thus improve or enhance the economic, environmental, historical and socio-cultural benefits in this municipality.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter presents a content analysis of 110 rural, subnational (i.e. municipal, subregional and regional) tourism plans in Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland) to explore several visions and goals for tourism development. Two different patterns are explored to understand the resulting distribution of sustainability concern types: (i) the local openness about negative impacts of tourism, and (ii) (a proxy for) the degree of participation in the development of the subnational tourism development plan relative to the resulting sustainability concern.

Abstract:
Abstract Environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) are groups of concerned citizens, working to improve the quality of life within communities, while preventing environmental degradation from economic activities. These groups assume an important role for populations inhabiting small islands, given their small territory, dependence on the import of goods and a focus on tourism to balance their fragile economies. In order to access the public commitment in developing sustainable tourism practices, key informant interviews were conducted with representatives of the ENGOs based on three archipelagos (Cabo Verde, Fernando de Noronha and Azores) aimed to characterize the ENGOs' mission and collect information on their projects and degree of involvement of local communities. An analysis of capital is applied to each research site in an effort to situate the role of ENGOs in their respective communities. The degree of commitment and official involvement in local tourism planning and management is different among the islands studied.

Abstract:
Having looked at the external and internal challenges facing the move towards more sustainable tourism, and the impacts of tourism, you should now be wondering how sustainability in tourism can be turned into more than an ideal. Perhaps one of the most obvious way to achieve this is simply to regulate the sector. After all regulation worked for the ozone layer: scientists raised the alarm in the 1970s that a hole was appearing in the atmosphere’s ozone layer, caused by Ozone Depleting Substances or ODS (most notably CFCs) and resulting in adverse effects on human health and the environment. By 1987 the Montreal Protocol was established to phase out the use of ODS, and by June 2015, all countries in the United Nations, the Cook Islands, Holy See, Niue and the supranational European Union had ratified the original Protocol. The result was a 98% drop in ODS since ratification, and the hole is expected to have fully repaired itself by 2050. A significant achievement in terms of international cooperation, based on scientific advice.

Abstract:
Core and peripheral destinations are very significant to island tourism because of core and peripheral islands. Peripheral locations may be disadvantaged as they are isolated from the core or economic centers and from the main population. This chapter reviews literature on the complexity of core and peripheral destinations, their development, planning, marketing and management together with local resident's perceptions of tourists and the tourist's expectations. The South Pacific is defined and it's Colonial past discussed together with tourist motivations. It is becoming increasingly difficult for all stakeholders to agree on programs and tourism practices and that various South Pacific countries have different ways of collecting statistical data resulting in few generic standards to adhere to.

Abstract:
Tourism is often prescribed as a powerful catholicon for socio-economic development of island states (Chen et al., 2011; Ribeiro et al., 2013). Although tourism provides some benefits for residents and destinations, its introduction creates adverse impacts as a by-product of its functioning that erodes sustainable development goals (Alipour et al., 2020); therefore, in order to minimize the unintended impacts, the involvement of all stakeholders in the planning process is recommended by many scholars (e.g. Chang & Mak, 2018; Cusick, 2009; Ribeiro et al., 2018). Amongst the many stakeholders einvolved in the sustainable tourism management of an island, residents have been considered as the most important and effective, without whom any plans towards sustainable development goals may be doomed to failure (Lalicic & Önder, 2018). Investigating the attitude of residents about the impacts of any development plan is gaining momentum in tourism, as an essential concern in managing and marketing sustainable tourism products and services (Chen & Chen, 2010; Choi & Murray, 2010; Kebete & Wondirad, 2019; Wang & Chen, 2015). Accordingly, the literature has been enriched with a variety of different studies related to residents’ attitudes, interactions with tourists and different aspects of sustainable development, yet the ambiguity in the perception of these topics by locals is far from adequately explored (Eusebio et al., 2018). Therefore, it is imperative to delve into the host-tourist interactions to have a richer understanding of the residents’ role in sustainable tourism development. Notably, it is vital to consider tourism as one of the biggest industries considered beneficial in developing countries and small state islands due to political and development nature of these areas, yet, there is a lack of adequate studies specifically in the developing nations (Akhshik et al., 2020; Sirivongs & Tsuchiya, 2012).

Abstract:
On the 28 October 2019, the Government of Bali issued a Governor Ordinance No. 45/2019 prioritising(?)clean energy as the solution to the energy crisis in Bali. This crisis has been further exaserbated by the covid 19 pandemic which has decimated the Islands economy in particular, tourism, its primary industry. This has forced Bali to change its tourism orientation from urban tourism to rural tourismpromoting homestay, a shift which will signifcantly influence renewable energy planning for the Island. There are only two solar power plants on the island; one in Bangli and one in Karangasem each with 1 MWp on-Grid capacity. In addition there is a small hydro power plant in Buleleng with 1,95 MWp capacity, with existing rooftop PV power plant in the community generates around 1.3 MWp and 0.07 MWp off-grid. This leaves the Island with a signficant shortfall and must, in acocrdance with the Ordinance, be met through the promotion of community uptake of solar panel for homes and buildings. This paper presents the of the strategic planning approach used by a special task force supervisory team of Bali Clean Energy to implement the Ordinance for the island

Abstract:
The tourist city has been a space with few and weak reflections from the urban discipline. The developed planning, at best, has been uncritically exported from the residential city. However, in these cities, almost 12% of Spanish GDP is generated. The vast majority of Spanish coasts, especially on the Mediterranean coast and in the archipelagos, are occupied by large areas of holiday cities. Many of them were born in the first boom of Spanish tourism in the 60's. The mass tourism model, predominant in our coast, also generates a mass city. The morphology of this city does not follow the common and more consolidated patterns of the residential city. Today many of these tourist destinations begin to show of obsolescence. For this reason, the analysis of its urban form is a valuable tool in the face of its renovation project. In this work, we propose the analysis of the tourist micro-destinations of the Canarian archipelago. In order to this we will identify the main morphological patterns and characterize them from the analysis of a set of descriptive indicators related to public and private space. References Gaja, F.

Abstract:
The exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of Japan has a very large area because Japan consists of many islands. As the worldwide supply and demand of natural resources and food are being tight, the technology for the effective use of the EEZ will become the key for the future development of Japan. From this background, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan (MLIT) started an R&D project of floating offshore platform technologies in 2007. In this project an integrated design support tool, called “Harmonic Design Tool”, has been developed for evaluating economical and safety aspects of the offshore platforms. At the first stage, the tool makes the basic planning based on many kinds of relating datasets. In the second and third stages, safety assessment and economic evaluation are carried out by datasets and numerical simulation programs. In this paper the outlines of the total tool, each stage, some technical components and a trial estimate for seafloor massive sulphides (SMS) mining platform are presented.
