Newing, Andrew. "Incorporating seasonal visitor demand in retail location modelling." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2013. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/5772/.
Full textAbstract:
Retail location planning within the grocery sector employs sophisticated modelling to evaluate the trading potential of proposed new stores and investments. Demand side expenditure estimates are commonly used in conjunction with spatial interaction modelling to analyse consumer flows, determine store catchment areas and predict revenue in advance of store construction. Retailers note that these revenue predictions often underestimate demand in tourist areas, where non-residential demand, originating from visitors, can generate considerable seasonal sales uplift at the individual store level. Modelling visitor demand of this nature is an under-researched area and is addressed within this thesis in order to improve the modelling and revenue estimation capabilities of location planning teams, and to enhance understanding of tourism’s local economic impact. This research is carried out with the support of Sainsbury’s (as an ESRC CASE award partner) and specifically considers location-based modelling for application in the grocery sector. The thesis draws considerably on stores within Cornwall and Kent, especially those in popular (and highly seasonal) coastal resorts. With rare access to store and consumer loyalty card data, this thesis identifies the impact of visitor expenditure on store-level grocery demand. Subsequently, a methodology is developed in order to estimate small-area grocery demand in highly seasonal (coastal) tourist resorts, accounting for the spatial and seasonal variations driven by visitor expenditure. These demand estimates are used in conjunction with a Spatial Interaction Model (SIM) (developed and calibrated specifically for this thesis) to estimate store revenue and market shares in tourist areas. This thesis demonstrates that demand side estimates and a spatial modelling approach are able to generate robust revenue predictions for stores in highly seasonal tourist resorts. The discussion clearly highlights the versatility of the model in addressing demand and supply side interventions, and outlines the impact of this form of analysis on store location based decision making in tourist resorts.

Kern, Christine Luise, and n/a. "Demarketing as a tool for managing visitor demand in national parks: an Australian case study." University of Canberra. Languages, International Studies & Tourism, 2006. http://erl.canberra.edu.au./public/adt-AUC20061114.125254.
Full textAbstract:
Nature-based tourism and recreation is a growing phenomenon around the world. In
Australia, nature-based tourism represents an important part of the tourism sector and is to
a large extent dependent on protected areas such as World Heritage areas, marine parks
and national parks. While tourism and recreation can benefit protected areas, some are
under pressure from visitation and marketing should play a role in managing visitor
demand. To this end, a number of authors have suggested demarketing as a management
tool to address situations of excess visitor demand, however, research on demarketing in
protected areas is limited. To address this research gap, this thesis examines the use of
demarketing in Australian national parks that face excess visitor demand using a case study
on the Blue Mountains National Park. The thesis investigates factors that contribute to high
visitor demand for the park, the use of demarketing to manage demand and factors that
influence when and how demarketing is applied. Demarketing is that aspect of marketing
that deals with discouraging customers in general or a certain class of customers in
particular on either a temporary or permanent basis. In protected areas specifically,
demarketing is concerned with reducing visitor numbers in total or selectively and
redistributing demand spatially or temporarily.
Six factors that contribute to high visitor demand for the national park were identified
including the attractiveness of the park, its proximity to Sydney and the fact that the park is
a renowned destination with icon sites. It was established that no holistic demarketing
strategy is currently employed in the park and that the demarketing measures that are
applied are not consciously used as demarketing. The measures used in the Blue Mountains
National Park were discussed according to their association with the marketing mix
components (4 Ps). Demarketing measures related to �product� include limiting
recreational activities by defining specific areas where they can be conducted, limiting the
duration of activities and closures of sites or features in the park. The measures related to
�place� are the use of a booking system, limiting visitor numbers and group sizes,
commercial licensing and limiting signage. Measures related to �price� are not extensively
used in the park. The promotional demarketing measures applied include stressing
restrictions and appropriate environmental behaviour in promotional material and nonpromotion
of certain areas or experiences in the park. Importantly, these demarketing
measures are not employed across the whole park or for all user groups, but are used for
certain experiences in specific contexts and circumstances.
Three types of factors influence the use of demarketing in the Blue Mountains National
Park: pragmatic considerations, resource considerations and stakeholder interests.
Pragmatic considerations include the feasibility and effectiveness of certain demarketing
measures, which are influenced by the specific context of the national park. Resource
considerations relate to financial, human and temporal resources and the findings suggest
that a lack of resources influences and at times inhibits the use of demarketing measures. It
was also found that various stakeholders have a profound influence on the use of
demarketing measures. The stakeholder groups have diverse interests and therefore
influence the use of demarketing in different ways by supporting or impeding certain
measures.
Based on the findings and limitations of this study, recommendations for government and
future research are made. These emphasise among others the need for more consistent and
comprehensive collection of visitor information to tailor management actions more
effectively. It is also suggested that a more conscious and holistic application of
demarketing measures may help to manage visitor demand to parks proactively to ensure
that the resource remains for future generations.

Patmavanu, Tierra. "Determinants of Las Vegas Tourism Demand." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1975.
Full textAbstract:
This paper focuses on finding the key determinants influencing Las Vegas tourism demand from years 1987 to 2016. Based on previous tourism literature, this study explores various macroeconomic variables and Las Vegas-specific variables in explaining the effect on Las Vegas visitor volume.
The results of this study indicate that U.S. gross domestic product (GDP), world GDP, and Las Vegas housing prices are major factors in determining Las Vegas visitor volume. Additionally, Las Vegas housing prices are inversely related to Las Vegas tourism demand. These variables are statistically significant and help explain visitor volume in Las Vegas.
As expected, this article indicates that U.S. GDP, world GDP, U.S. median household income, and employment per population ratio have a positive relationship whereas U.S. unemployment rate and airline fare index per CPI have a negative correlation with Las Vegas visitor volume. In addition, this paper also finds that tourism in Las Vegas is considered a normal good, as indicated by the coefficients of greater than 1 for log U.S. GDP and log world GDP in most models.
Overall, these findings are consistent with earlier tourism studies that macroeconomic variables including GDP, income, and employment are positively related to tourism. However, transportation costs and relative prices are negatively related to tourism demand.

Full textAbstract:
The Rappahannock River Basin Commission is undergoing a collaborative water supply planning process for Virginiaâ s Rappahannock River Basin. Participants in the planning process have indicated an interest in technical information about the possible impact conservation programs may have on reducing residential water demand. The potential influence of conservation programs is identified through a literature synthesis and a statistical analysis of residential water demand for a locality within the basin (Stafford County). In the literature synthesis, conservation programs are classified as voluntary or mandatory. Voluntary programs utilize financial incentives (such as water pricing and rebates) or educational incentives (such as radio ads and bill inserts) to encourage conservation, and mandatory programs utilize regulatory incentives (such as plumbing standards and bans on outdoor water use). The water demand statistical model was estimated to more specifically identify how Stafford residential water customers respond to water pricing/rate structure changes (financial incentives), imposition of federal regulations on plumbing standards (regulatory incentives), and a voluntary conservation program utilizing educational incentives. The results indicate that while many studies have found residential customers are responsive to price changes, Stafford residential water users have not significantly changed their water demand in response to price/rate structure changes. Previous literature also suggests federal plumbing standards potentially have a significant impact on water demand. The influence of new plumbing standards in the Stafford demand model was inconclusive and warrants further analysis. Consistent with the literature, voluntary conservation programs utilizing educational incentives alone did not substantially alter residential water demand in Stafford County.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: O objeto desta pesquisa é a Visita Domiciliar (VD), um dos instrumentos da prática do enfermeiro na Atenção Básica (AB). Práticas em saúde foram compreendidas como trabalho, ou seja, uma atividade previamente intencionalizada para transformar as necessidades de saúde, com a finalidade de aprimorar respostas a elas. Necessidades de saúde foram compreendidas como necessidades de reprodução social dos grupos sociais que conformam a área de abrangência das Unidades de Saúde. A VD na AB é uma prática dirigida à população socialmente marginalizada, com vistas a fiscalizar e controlar comportamentos e hábitos considerados não saudáveis. Pressupõe-se que a VD pode constituir-se como prática emancipatória, ou seja, pode ser implementada a partir da reflexão sobre a origem das necessidades de saúde, para instrumentalizar os sujeitos para acessar seus direitos e lutar por eles, incentivar valores de solidariedade e resgatar a condição humana como condição social. Objetivo: Apresentar a VD, como prática emancipatória na AB. Método: Pesquisa-ação emancipatória, realizada com 12 enfermeiras da Coordenadoria de Saúde Centro Oeste, do município de São Paulo, que participaram de 12 oficinas para a elaboração de um roteiro de VD, que se constituirá em material pedagógico. O processo de elaboração conjunta do roteiro teve início com o aprimoramento conceitual e a reflexão sobre as práticas desenvolvidas pelo enfermeiro na AB. O conteúdo das oficinas, gravado em áudio, foi transcrito e analisado à luz das categorias analíticas processo de trabalho em saúde e necessidades de saúde, propostas pelo campo da Saúde Coletiva. Resultados: O processo de elaboração do roteiro de VD promoveu reflexão e análise crítica das práticas tradicionais da AB, que reduzem a complexidade das necessidades de saúde a problemas e agravos clínicos. Apreenderam as necessidades de saúde como objeto das práticas na AB e expressaram a possibilidade de ampliação dessas, mediante a incorporação dos determinantes sociais do processo saúde-doença ao objeto do trabalho. As participantes identificaram que na AB a finalidade das práticas tem respondido a interesses alheios às necessidades de saúde da população, privilegiando o cumprimento de metas e indicadores pré-estabelecidos por programas ministeriais. O processo foi concluído com a elaboração de um roteiro para VD, como prática emancipatória Conclusão: A pesquisa-ação emancipatória efetivou a elaboração do roteiro de VD emancipatória pelas enfermeiras, por meio da reflexão das práticas tradicionais hegemônicas na AB à luz de conceitos da Saúde ColetivaIntroduction: The aim of this research is the Home Visit (HV), one of the instruments for nursing practice in Primary Health Care (PHC). Health practices were understood as work, meaning a previously intended activity to transform health needs, with the goal of improving the response to them. Health needs were understood as the social reproduction needs of the social groups which conform to the range of the Health Units. The HV in PHC is a practice directed to the socially marginalized population, aiming to monitor and control behaviors and habits considered unhealthy. It is assumed that HV can be an emancipatory practice, meaning that it can be implemented through the reflection on the origin of the health needs, to aid subjects in accessing their rights and fight for them, incentive the solidarity values and restore the human condition as a social condition. Aim: To present HV as an emancipatory PHC practice. Method: Emancipatory research-action done with 12 nurses from the West Central Health Coordination, in the city of São Paulo, who participated in 12 workshops to elaborate a HV script, which will constitute pedagogical material. The group elaboration process for the script began with the conceptual improvement and reflection on the practices developed by nurses in PHC. The content of the workshops, recorded in audio, was transcribed and analyzed in light of the analytical categories of the work process in health, and health needs, proposed by the Collective health field. Results: The process to elaborate the HV script promoted reflection and critical analysis of the traditional HV practices, which reduce the complexity of health needs to clinical problems and aggravations. The health needs were raised as an object of the HV practices and these expressed the possibility of expansion, with the incorporation of social determinants to the health-sickness process for the object of the work. The participants identified that in HV the aim of the practices has responded to interests foreign to the health needs of the population, privileging the fulfillment of goals and pre-established indicators from ministerial programs. The process was concluded with the elaboration of a HV script, as an emancipatory practice. Conclusion: The emancipatory research-action made possible the elaboration of the emancipatory HV script by the nurses, through reflection on the traditional hegemonic practices in PHC in light of Collective Health concepts.

The need for the study was prompted by discussions with my fellow photographers and friends that fewer people visited the Kruger National Park the last few years. Various reasons were given for it. I discussed it with Professors G. Puth and A. N. Schreuder, and members of the National Parks Board. Initially it was decided that a study should be done of why there was a decrease in the demand for accommodation in the Park, and how it could possibly be improved. Mr. P. Fearnhead and Professor A. N. Schreuder suggested that it would be better if a price sensitivity study should be done with a new computer program, namely conjoint analysis. This type of study has not been done in South Africa before. One of the major purposes of a conjoint analysis is to measure consumer preferences among competitive products and services. Basically it measures preferences of tourists by making trade-offs between five attributes and seventeen levels, and that consumers make complex decisions not on one factor alone but on several factors "jointly". Thus it was named conjoint analysis. Ranking a number of different combinations of attribute levels on a nine-point rating scale indicated their preferences. The results were then processed by a computer program, Conjoint Value Analysis (CVA), Version 2.0 system. They indicated their preferences by ranking a number of different combinations of attribute levels to give utility values for the attributes. Six representative camps (three large and three small ones) were used for a stratified sample of 428 respondents. The findings will give recommendations that can be used. AFRIKAANS : Die behoefte vir die studie is aangespoor deur gesprekke met my medefotograwe en vriende dat minder mense die Nasionale Kruger Wildtuin die laaste aantal jare besoek het. Veskeie redes is daarvoor gegee. Ek het dit met Professore G. Puth en A. N. Schreuder, en lede van die Nasionale Parkeraad bespreek. Oorspronklik is besluit dat 'n studie gedoen behoort te word oar hoekom daar 'n afname in die vraag vir akkommodasie in die Wildtuin was, en hoe dit moontlik verbeter kon word. Mnr. P. Fearnhead en Professor A. N. Schreuder het voorgestel dat dit beter sou wees indien 'n prysssensitiwiteit-studie met 'n nuwe rekenaarprogram, nl. gesamentlike analise ("conjoint analysis"), gedoen sou word. Hierdie tipe studie was nag nie voorheen in Suid-Afrika gedoen nie. Een van die hoof oogmerke van 'n gesamentlike analise is om verbruiksvoorkeure tussen mededingende produkte en dienste te meet. Basies meet dit voorkeure van toeriste deur kompromiee ("trade-offs") tussen vyf eienskappe en sewentien vlakke te maak, en dat verbruikers komplekse besluite maak nie oar een eienskap aileen nie, maar verskeie eienskappe gesamentlik ("jointly"). Daarom is dit gesamentlike analise ("conjoint analysis") genoem. Hulle voorkeure word gewys deur die toekenning van 'n rangorde aan 'n aantal veskillende kombinasies van eienskap-vlakke op 'n nege-punt skattingskaal. Die resultate is daarna deur 'n rekenaarprogram, Conjoint Value Analysis (CVA), Version 2.0 sisteem, verwerk. Hulle wys hulle voorkeure deur die toekenning van 'n rangorde van 'n aantal van verskillende kombinasies van eienskap-vlakke om nuttigheidswaardes vir die eienskappe te gee. Ses verteenwoordigende kampe (drie grates en drie kleintjies) is gebruik vir 'n gestratifiseerde steekproef van 428 respondente. Die bevindings sal aanbevelings gee wat gebruik kan word.Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 1999.

Scholtz, Marco. "The influence of the 2008/2009 economic recession on travel behaviour of visitors to the Kruger National Park / Marco Scholtz." Thesis, North-West University, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10394/4509.
Full textAbstract:
During the recession period of 2008/2009, global tourism declined by 8%. This was also
evident is South Africa with the domestic travel market shrinking by 8% as well. However,
this did not apply to the Kruger National Park (KNP) which experienced a sustained
Accommodation Unit Occupancy growth of 1.6% during the same period. Visitors to the KNP
thus see it as an attractive holiday destination irrespective of tough economic conditions
characterised by less disposable income. To sustain this growth, it is important to be aware
of the reasons visitors still visit the KNP during a recession.
The aim of this study was to determine the reasons why visitors still travelled to the KNP
during the 2008/2009 recession. This can be done by analysing the visitors’ behaviour and
the motivational factors (internal feelings of the visitors) and determinants of the demand
(income and exchange rates for instance) that influenced visitors’ choice to visit the KNP. To
achieve this aim, a survey was conducted at the KNP between 15 and 20 December 2009
(high season). A total of 355 questionnaires were completed, after which a number of
analyses were done to determine the effects of the recession on travel behaviour. For the
purpose of this study, two articles were written.
Article 1 is titled: “Motivations of visitors to the Kruger National Park during the 2008/2009
recession period”. The aim of this article was to determine the motivations of visitors to the
KNP during the recession. A factor analysis on the motivations to visit the park was
conducted, of which the following factors obtained the highest mean values: Escape, Wildlife
experience and Family benefits. Push factors to the KNP were important to such an extent
that visitors regarded visiting the park as a primary need or lifestyle. The results furthermore
showed that visitors might have adapted their spending behaviour at the park to still afford to
visit the park during the recession. This article provides a better understanding of visitors’
feelings towards the KNP, especially amidst recessions which, in turn, will improve niche
marketing and a competitive advantage.
Article 2 is titled: “Factors that influenced demand to the Kruger National Park during the
2008/2009 economic recession”. The aim of this article was to identify the determinants that
influence the demand for visits to the KNP. Due to the homogeneous nature of the park’s
market, the results of the stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed a few socio-demographic and behavioural determinants that influenced visitors’ demand to the park. The
motives Escape and Souvenirs were the only two behavioural determinants while the
provinces Gauteng and Mpumalanga were the only socio-demographic determinants. These
two provinces are the two main markets for the KNP. Visitors indicated that visiting the KNP
is a great way of escaping their busy metropolitan areas, especially in the Gauteng province.
Mpumalanga residents have many tourism attractions in their province thus lowering the
chances that they will visit the KNP. The determinant Souvenirs indicates that visitors
adapted their spending at the park to still be able to afford visits. It was also found that
demand to visit the park was not greatly influenced by the recession, because visitors could
adapt their spending at the park.
This is the first time the determinants of demand to a national park during a recession period
have been conducted. The study indicated that visiting natural areas may have become a
primary need or part of a lifestyle, especially during the 2008/2009 recession period. This
article gives park management guidelines that will ensure the sustainability of the KNP
because this information now allows for well-planned, thorough marketing and management
of the park. In the case of KNP, which has a homogeneous market, the number of
determinants identified influencing demand for visiting the park is fewer than has been found
in other studies done on heterogeneous markets. This study therefore also makes a valuable
methodological contribution in relation to analysing demand of homogeneous and
heterogeneous markets.Thesis (M.Com. (Tourism))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

La Gestió Infermera de la Demanda (GID) és l’atenció de les urgències per patologia de baixa complexitat per infermeria en base a protocols d’actuació on s’explicita: l’anamnesi, l’exploració física, els motius d’exclusió (que són derivats directament al metge), el tractament (la prescripció farmacològica validada per metges) i les normes de reconsulta (quan ha de tornar el pacient). Des del 2008, l’Institut Català de la Salut (ICS) inicia la GID a partir d’experiències satisfactòries prèvies d’altres proveïdors. Es van incloure protocols d’actuació a l’Estació Clínica informatitzada (ECAP) en patologia de baixa complexitat permetent-ne la gestió autònoma per part d’infermeria.
Objectius: Avaluar l’eficàcia de la GID en la resolució de visites urgents a l’Atenció Primària (AP) i el grau de satisfacció dels pacients en 5 CAP de l’ICS Girona.
Material i mètodes:
Primer treball (pilot): Estudi observacional i transversal
Segon treball: Estudi observacional, transversal i multicèntric
Mesures principals: Variables sociodemogràfiques (edat, sexe i origen dels pacients) i assistencials (CAP, Unitat Bàsica Assistencial (UBA) del pacient, motiu de consulta i antiguitat d’infermeria al CAP). L’eficàcia es va valorar mitjançant l’anàlisi de noves consultes pel mateix motiu de salut (reconsultes) en les primeres 48 hores el primer treball pilot i en les 72 hores en el segon i per les derivacions al professional mèdic. La satisfacció va valorar-se a través d’una enquesta telefònica.
Resultats: Primer treball (pilot): S’analitzaren 296 consultes. L’edat mitjana va ser de 34,4 ± 25,5 anys, 53,3% dones i 25,3% immigrants. El principal motiu de consulta van ser les ferides (12,5%). El 77,4% no va reconsultar les primeres 48 hores (80,5% motius de consulta protocol·lizats vs 73,2% no protocol·lizats p = 0,14). Els motius protocol·litzats (57,1% de les consultes) tingueren un menor percentatge de derivació al metge (33,1% protocol·lizats vs 64,6% no protocol·litzats p < 0,001). La reconsulta en els motius protocol·litzats fou menor en immigrants (12,1% vs 29,4% p = 0,04) i en els pacients més joves (31,6 ± 24 anys vs 41,1 ± 25,4 anys p = 0,04).
Segon treball (multicèntric): S’analitzaren 587 consultes. L’edat mitjana va ser de 36,9±22,8 anys, 51,8% dones i 13,7% immigrants. Els principals motius van ser les ferides (12,8%) i el quadre de vies altes (10,2%). El 86,9% (IC 95%:83,8%-89,4%) no va reconsultar en 72 hores. 383 visites (65,2%) no es derivaren al metge, 350 (91,4%) no van reconsultar. El principal factor predictor de reconsulta fou l’edat >36 anys, OR 2,32 (IC 95%:1,07-5,03; p=0,033). La satisfacció global mitjana va ser de 9/10, sent major en el grup que no va reconsultar (9,07 vs 8,55; p=0,025). El 93,3% dels pacients tornarien a ser atesos per infermeria pel mateix problema de salut.
Conclusió: La GID és eficaç per resoldre visites urgents per motius protocol·litzats a l’AP amb un alt grau de satisfacció dels pacients.The Nurse Demand Management (GID) is the care of the emergencies of low complexity pathology by nursing based on protocols of action that explains: anamnesis, physical examination, reasons for exclusion (which are derived directly to the doctor), the treatment (prescribed pharmacological validated by doctors) and the rules of reconsider (when the patient must return). Since 2008, the Catalan Institute of Health (ICS) has started the GID based on satisfactory experiences from other providers. Operational protocols were included in the computerized Clinical Station (ECAP) in low complexity pathology, allowing autonomous management by nursing. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of the GID in the resolution of urgent visits to Primary Care (AP) and the degree of patient satisfaction in 5CAP of the ICS Girona. Material and methods: First work (pilot): observational and transversal study Second work: Observational study, transversal and multicentre Main measures: Socio-demographic variables (age, sex and origin of patients) and care (CAP, Basic Unit of Assistance (UBA) of the patient, cause of consultation and antiquity of nursing in the CAP). The effectiveness was assessed by analyzing new consultations for the same reason of health (reconsider), during the first 48 hours for the first pilot work and during the first 72 hours for the second, and for referrals to the medical professional. Satisfaction was valued through a telephone survey. Results: First work (pilot): 296 consultations were analyzed. The median age was 34.4 ± 25.5 years, 53.3% women and 25.3% immigrants. The main reason for consultation were wounds (12.5%). 77.4% did not reconsider during the first 48 hours (80.5% protocolized queries vs. 73.2% non-protocolized p = 0.14). The protocolized reasons (57.1% of the consultations) had a lower percentage of referral to the doctor (33.1% protocolized vs 64.6% non-protocolized p <0.001). The reconsideration (in the protocols was minor in immigrants (12.1% vs 29.4% p = 0.04) and in younger patients (31.6 ± 24 years vs 41.1 ± 25.4 years p = 0.04). Second work (multicenter): 587 consultations were analyzed. The median age was 36.9 ± 22.8 years, 51.8% women and 13.7% immigrants. The main reasons were wounds (12.8%) and the colds (10.2%). 86.9% (95% CI: 83.8% -89.4%) did not reconsider during the first 72 hours. 383 visits (65.2%) did not get to the doctor, 350 (91.4%) did not reconsider. The main predictor of reconsideration was age> 36 years, OR 2.32 (95% CI: 1.07-5.03; p = 0.033). The average global satisfaction was 9/10, being higher in the group that did not reconsider (9.07 vs 8.55, p = 0.025). 93.3% of patients would be treated again by nursing for the same health problem. Conclusion: The GID is effective in resolving urgent visits for protocols in the AP with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

Doctoral thesis Specifics of Consumer Behavior on Cultural Heritage Market is a market research based analysis of visitors of museums and galleries. The main goal of the work is to describe and segment the audiences, find out stimuli influencing visitor behavior, visitor motivation and lifestyle in order to suggest new marketing strategies attracting either new visitors or to turn occasional visitors into clients. The first part uses the theoretical microeconomic approach for analyzing the demand for cultural heritage; the price policy and price strategies of museums and galleries, and results in socially justified price of merit goods. The second part compares the Czech "consumer" of cultural heritage with an average consumer behavior in the same markets within the European Union and the U.S.A. The main part of the thesis consists of the research project based on quantitative descriptive research among museum and gallery visitors. The sample size is 543 respondents. Respondents were interviewed from September 2008 to March 2009 (personal intercept interview) in 25 organizations (from large and important institutions to small and regional organizations). The research project uses the nonprobability (convenience) sample of those who came to a museum, gallery or exhibition. The thesis results in the recommendation of marketing strategies for museums and galleries.

Introdução: O objeto deste estudo é o audiovisual pedagógico que tem como tema a Visita Domiciliar (VD) emancipatória. A escolha da VD, um instrumento do trabalho em saúde, foi realizada por ter potencialidade para a captação de necessidades em saúde dos grupos sociais, portanto, no âmbito do coletivo. O grupo social escolhido foi o grupo das famílias com instabilidade nas condições de trabalho e de vida. O processo de produção coletiva do audiovisual pautou-se na abordagem emancipatória, a qual pressupõe a participação dos sujeitos envolvidos no processo educativo na busca de respostas aos problemas por eles identificados. Neste estudo, o processo de construção conjunta ancorou-se nos conceitos de educação emancipatória, determinação social do processo saúde-doença, necessidades em saúde dos grupos sociais e processo de trabalho em saúde. Objetivo: construir audiovisual pedagógico sobre a VD e material gráfico que sirva de guia para a utilização do vídeo em processos educativos. Método: Pesquisa-Ação emancipatória. Participaram do vídeo cinco enfermeiras que atuam na Atenção Básica (AB) na área pertencente à Supervisão Técnica de Saúde Butantã (STS) e de outras STS que compõem a Coordenadoria Regional de Saúde Centro-Oeste, inclusive a autora dessa pesquisa. P a r t i c i p a r a m também uma Agente Comunitária de Saúde, um usuário da USF Jardim Boa Vista e trabalhadoras da EEUSP. Critério de inclusão: enfermeiras deveriam ter o trabalho envolvido com a AB. A gravação foi feita a partir de roteiro desenvolvido em pesquisa anterior. Resultados: este estudo tem como produtos um audiovisual pedagógico sobre VD realizada em Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) e um material gráfico nos moldes de guia para estudo dirigido, disponível em: http://eaulas.usp.br/portal/video.action?idItem=7035. O audiovisual é um instrumento pedagógico desde a construção coletiva (elaboração do roteiro, planejamento da gravação) até a sua finalização (vídeo e guia). A intencionalidade é que o vídeo, a finalização do processo, seja utilizado como instrumento em processos de educação em saúde. O guia gráfico sinaliza a importância do reconhecimento dos problemas que acometem a comunidade através do levantamento das necessidades em saúde dos grupos sociais, do reconhecimento do território, e dos perfis de reprodução social. As cenas do vídeo retratam e sinalizam essas observações ao longo da apresentação do audiovisual, esses itens apontam possibilidades de aprimoramento teórico e prático sobre esses temas considerados relevantes para o processo educativo. Considerações finais: A construção conjunta de instrumentos pedagógicos, desde que realizada em processos educativos emancipatórios possibilita resultar em produtos para uma prática de saúde crítica, reflexiva e transformadora. O audiovisual se constitui como importante ferramenta a ser utilizada nos processos de formação e capacitação. No que se refere ao aprimoramento das práticas em saúde, os trabalhadores dos serviços de saúde devem ter apoio para viabilizar espaços para o desenvolvimento de processos que visem à construção conjunta de respostas às necessidades em saúde dos grupos sociais que compõem os territórios.Introduction: The purpose of this study is the educational audiovisual whose theme is the emancipatory Home Visit (HV). The choice of the HV, an instrument of health work, was held to have potential for raising health needs of social groups, so in the context of collective. The chosen social group was the group of families with instability in working and living conditions. The collective production process of audiovisual was based on the emancipatory approach, which presupposes the participation of the subjects involved in the educational process in the search for answers to the problems they have identified. In this paper, the joint construction process was anchored in the concepts of emancipatory education, social determination of the health-disease, health needs of social groups, and health work process. Objective: To build on the educational audiovisual HV and graphic material to serve as a guide for the use of video in educational processes. Method: It is an emancipatory Action Research. Participated on the video five nurses who work in Primary Care (PC) in the area belonging to the Health Technical Supervision Butantã (HTS) and other HTS that make up the Midwest Regional Coordination of Health, including the author of this research.Moreover, a Health Community Agent, a member of the USF Jardim Boa Vista, and EEUSP workers contributed with this study. Inclusion criteria: Nurses should have the work involved with primary care. The recording was made from script developed in earlier research. Results: This study has as products an educational audiovisual about the HV performed in Basic Health Unit (BHU) and a graphic material in the templates of guide for the directed study, available in: http://eaulas.usp.br/portal/video.action?idItem=7035. The audiovisual is an educational tool since the collective construction (preparing the script, recording planning) to the finish (video and guide). The intention of this video is to be used as a tool in the process of he alth education. The graphic guide indicates the importance of the recognition of the problems that affect the community through a survey of the social groups health needs, the territory recognition, and social reproduction profiles. The scenes of the video show and reveal these comments throughout the presentation of the audiovisual, these items link theoretical and practical improvement possibilities on these topics relevant to the educational process. Final Considerations: A joint construction of pedagogical tools, if carried out under emancipatory educational processes, enables products to result in a practice of critical health, reflective and transforming. The audiovisual constitutes an important tool to be used in training and capacity building processes. As regards the improvement of health practices, workers health services must have support to make space for the development of processes aimed at joint construction of health needs the answers of the social groups that make up the territories.

Full textAbstract:
Kenya’s electricity sector faces extensive development as the country strives to achieve the goal of universal access to electricity by 2020 and the national blueprint Kenya Vision 2030. With a history of overestimating the future electricity demand, it is important to make investment decisions based on realistic demand prognoses. In this study, we evaluate a cost-optimal energy mix for electricity generation in 2030 for scenarios following business-as-usual (BAU) and Kenya Vision 2030 demand forecasts, using the spatial electrification tool OnSSET and the energy system modelling tool OSeMOSYS. Kenya is vulnerable to climate change and faces the challenge of frequent droughts, making water management a national priority. This study considers the nexus of Climate, Land, Energy and Water (CLEW). We look at how a climate change scenario, following a worst-case development according to Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5, can affect the hydrology of the Tana River and thereby the electricity generation from its hydro power plants. Results show that the share of grid connected households increase with a higher demand forecast, that the investment cost of meeting the electricity demand of Kenya Vision 2030 is 106 % higher than the investment cost at BAU demand and that extreme climate change reduces the electricity generation of hydropower, leading up to that 2 % of electricity production must be supplied by other (non-hydro) sources in 2030. A conclusion drawn from this study is that the demand estimation has a central role for the investments in electricity technologies and is suggested to be based on trends of Kenya’s actual growth rather than visionary goals. Another conclusion is that a scenario of climate change impacts the future usage of hydropower, making the nexus to other natural resources important to include in the development of the electricity system.Kenyas elsektor står inför omfattande utveckling när landet strävar efter att ge hela befolkningen tillgång till elektricitet och att uppfylla de nationella utvecklingsmålen enligt Kenya Vision 2030. Då elbehovet tidigare överskattats är det viktigt att investeringsbeslut grundas på realistiska efterfrågeprognoser. I den här studien utvärderas en kostnadsoptimal energimix för elgenerering år 2030 i scenarion som följer prognostiserade elbehov enligt business-as-usual (BAU) och Kenya Vision 2030, med hjälp av modelleringsverktygen OnSSET och OSeMOSYS. Kenya är utsatt för klimatförändringar och har problem med återkommande torka, därför är vattenplanering högt prioriterad i landet. Den här studien tar hänsyn till hur Klimat, Land, Energi och Vatten (CLEW) påverkar varandra. Vi tittar på hur ett extremt klimatförändringsscenario som följer Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 kan påverka hydrologin i floden Tana och därmed elgenereringen från dess vattenkraftverk. Resultaten visar att andelen elnätsanslutna hushåll bör bli större vid ett högre elbehov, att investeringskostnaden för att möta elbehovet enligt Kenya Vision 2030 är 106 % högre än investeringskostnaden i ett BAU-scenario och att extrema klimatförändringar kan göra att elgenereringen från vattenkraft minskar, vilket gör att 2 % av elgenereringen måste ersättas av andra energikällor år 2030. En av slutsatserna i studien är att efterfrågeprognosen har en central roll för investeringar som görs i elsystemet och bör baseras på utvecklingstrender snarare än visionära mål. En annan slutsats är att klimatförändring påverkar den framtida produktionen från vattenkraft, vilket gör att kopplingen till andra naturresurser är viktig att inkludera i utvecklingen av elsystemet.

Full textAbstract:
The ABSA Klein Karoo National Arts Festival (KKNK) is one of the biggest and most popular
Afrikaans arts festivals in South Africa, and since its modest beginnings in 1994, the festival has
grown significantly with an estimated 85518 visitors attending the festival in 2010. The festival
furthermore has a considerable economic impact on the host community of Oudtshoorn and the
surrounding regions. The direct spending by festival visitors during the 2010 festival was estimated
at R109.7 million, that consists of tickets bought at the festival, memorabilia, food, restaurants and
beverages, transport, accommodation and entertainment. Benefits associated with these spending
patterns include an increase in job opportunities for the residents, more entertainment
opportunities, improvement of residents’ lifestyles and opportunities for expanding businesses to
name but a few. However, the number of tickets bought for shows and productions at the KKNK
has decreased drastically over the last six years, visitor numbers have decreased and this will
result in a decrease in the total revenue and economic impact this festival has on the local
community of Oudtshoorn. Therefore, the festival needs to be managed in a sustainable way
through improving the entertainment offered at the festival. The festival guide and promotion
material should be designed in such a way that they meet the needs of visitors and offers the
necessary information services to create a unique festival experience for visitors. The specific
services visitors need must be provided, such as shuttle services and security.
The purpose of this research is to identify the key success factors (KSFs) in managing the visitors’
experience at the KKNK. To achieve this, a quantitative survey was done by distributing 500
questionnaires amongst the visitors to the festival in 2010 from the 1st to the 8th of April. A total of
443 completed questionnaires were received back.
In Chapter 2, an analysis on the background and different theories of event tourism, special events,
arts festivals, management and KSFs were investigated. Previous studies on the KSFs were also
identified which rendered valuable and proved that different tourism operations including events
and arts festivals have different KSFs. Furthermore, this analysis revealed that there exist different
markets with their own individual needs and reasons for attending the arts festivals and therefore
have their own expectations of what needs to be included in a unique festival experience.
Chapter 3 consists of Article 1, and the main purpose of this article was to identify the various key
success factors visitors to the KKNK see as important in satisfying their needs and providing a
unique festival experience. A factor analysis was performed and identified the following KSFs:
Safety and Personnel, Marketing and Accessibility, Venues, Accommodation and Ablutions,
General aspects and Social impact, Parking and Restaurants and Shows and Stalls. The results
indicated that professional staff, adequate safety and emergency services, clear indications, easy
accessible venues, quality accommodation, affordable children activities, quality food providers and
a variety of shows are important KSFs to provide visitors with an unforgettable festival experience.
Chapter 4’s (Article 2) main purpose was to divide or segment visitors to the KKNK based on their
travel motivation to attend the festival and their rating of the importance of the KSFs into separate
markets. This purpose was achieved by performing a factor analysis on the travel motivations to
identify the main travel motives for visitors to attend the KKNK, this was followed by a cluster
analysis based on the travel motives where three clusters were identified namely Escapists,
Festival Junkies and Culture seekers. The clusters festival organisers should focus their
management skills and resources on are the Festival Junkies and Culture Seekers. After
performing ANOVA and Chi–square tests the results showed statistically significant differences
between the three clusters based on age, years attended the festival, length of stay, total spending,
all the KSFs, gender and rock shows as visitors preferred type of show or production. The results
therefore reveal that there are three different markets based on their travel motives who attend the
KKNK, furthermore each of these three clusters has their own preferences, characteristics and
ratings on which KSF will contribute in enhancing their festival experience.
This was the first study of its kind in South Africa. Therefore, it contributes to the event
management literature. Festival organisers can also use the results of this research to improve the
KKNK’s sustainability and success by applying the KSFs and increase tickets sales for shows and
productions, attract a younger market and attract visitors who spend more at the festival, by
providing for the needs of specific markets and creating a unique festival experience for each
visitor.Thesis (M.Com. (Tourism))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this travel cost study is to determine how rider behaviors and site characteristics influence repeat visits for equestrian trail riding in Kentucky. Primary data was collected via a survey developed and administered to trail riders in person and online. The average surveyed trail rider tends to be female, about 46 years old, with some higher education, and an annual household income of $65,000. She makes 11 trips to a specified site per year, 8 of which are daytrips, usually in the fall, and traveling 132 miles round trip. From other information gathered, an index of trail characteristics was developed to identify positive attributes of trails. To account for overdispersion of the number of visits per year, a negative binomial distribution in the estimation was used. The primary variables significant to explaining repeat visits to a site include distance in miles, the index of characteristics, and gender. Given consumer surplus estimates of $800 per equestrian it is recommended that established trails maximize desired characteristics. For new trail development it is recommended that trail characteristics are maximized and that they are built closer to the urban areas of the state since most riders are coming from these areas.

A presente dissertação é desenvolvida no âmbito do Mestrado Profissional em Gestão e Avaliação da Educação (PPGP) do Centro de Políticas Públicas e Avaliação da Educação da Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (CAEd/UFJF). O caso de gestão apresentado discute os problemas de gestão acadêmica das demandas por trabalhos de campos e visitas técnicas, entres outras denominações por experiências formativas, realizadas em espaços distintos do campus da UFJF, que chegam à Pró-Reitoria de Graduação por meio de pedidos de custeio. Dessa forma, este estudo tem por objetivo geral analisar os processos de viagens formativas nos eixos pedagógico e administrativo. Especificamente objetiva-se: i) descrever os fatos que caracterizam a falta de sistematização de processos para custeio de trabalho de/em campo dos cursos da graduação, como um problema de gestão da PROGRAD; ii) analisar a dimensão do problema, nas perspectivas pedagógicas e gerenciais; iii) propor um Plano de Ação Educacional, envolvendo ações administrativas e gerenciais, para a resolução do problema. Assumimos como hipóteses que a temática envolve ações administrativas entre diversos setores, não existem processos sistematizados para atendimento às demandas das viagens e não há um sistema eficiente de difusão de informações e conhecimentos sobre o tema. A metodologia utilizada para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho possui natureza aplicada, com abordagem qualitativa e descritiva de estudo de caso, buscando analisar como são constituídos os processos administrativos e pedagógicos para viagens formativas e qual a importância do tema para a formação discente. Para tanto, utilizamos como instrumentos a pesquisa documental, a pesquisa bibliográfica e as entrevistas com coordenadores de sete cursos de graduação do campus de Juiz de Fora. Com base nas evidências trazidas pelas pesquisas, propomos ações administrativas participativas, interativas e transparentes, visando à implementação de processos sistematizados e à difusão da gestão do conhecimento para o atendimento e fomento das viagens formativas nos cursos de graduação da UFJF.
The development of the present dissertation is inside the scope of the Professional Masters in Management and Evaluation of Education (PPGP) of the Center for Public Policies and Education Evaluation of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora (CAEd / UFJF). This dissertation discusses the problems of academic management of the demands for fieldwork, technical visits and other concepts by educational experience outside the UFJF campus area, which arrive at the Graduation Rectory through cost requests. This study has as general objective to analyze the processes of training trips in the pedagogical and administrative axes. Specifically, it aims to: i) describe the facts that characterize the lack of systematization of processes for labor costing of the field of graduation courses, as a problem of PROGRAD management; ii) analyze the dimension of the problem, in the pedagogical and managerial perspectives; Iii) to propose an Educational Action Plan, involving administrative and managerial actions, to solve the problem. We assume as hypotheses that the issue involves administrative actions among several sectors, there are no systematic processes to attend the demands of travel and there is an efficient system to disseminate information and knowledge on the subject. The methodology used for the development of this work has an applied nature, with a qualitative and descriptive approach of a case study, seeking to analyze how is constituted the administrative and pedagogical processes for training trips and what is the importance of the theme for the student formation. For that, we used as instruments the documentary research, the bibliographic research and the interviews with coordinators of seven undergraduate courses of the campus of Juiz de Fora. Based on the evidence presented by the research, we propose participative, interactive and transparent administrative actions, aiming at the implementation of systematized processes and the diffusion of knowledge management for the attendance and promotion of training trips in UFJF undergraduate courses.

Introdução: A infecção pelo vírus da Hepatite B (HBV) é um grande problema de saúde pública, uma vez que cerca de 257 milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo são acometidas pelo vírus. Mundialmente, devido ao grande movimento migratório, descrevem-se mudanças no perfil dos pacientes portadores de HBV. Desta forma, objetivamos caracterizar a população de pacientes portadores HBV atendidos no ambulatório A2MG404 de Hepatites Virais do HC-FMUSP. Métodos: Este foi um estudo retrospectivo descritivo de 617 novos pacientes com exames sorológicos positivos para HBV, em seguimento no ambulatório A2MG404 entre janeiro de 2005 e dezembro de 2015. Dados demográficos, epidemiológicos e clínicos foram obtidos de prontuários eletrônicos institucionais (SIGH-PRODESP, HCMED e ProntMed). A coleta e gerenciamento de dados foi realizada utilizando o software on-line REDCap (V6.16.4). A análise estatística foi realizada utilizando o software R (V3.3.0). O teste de Shapiro-Wilk foi utilizado para testar a normalidade dos dados; dados não paramétricos foram comparados utilizando-se o teste de Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney; as proporções entre populações foram comparadas utilizando-se o Teste Z. Foram considerados estatisticamente significativos valores de p < 0,05. Resultados: Foi observada predominância do sexo masculino (60,9%); mediana de idade de 48 anos; raça branca (70,8%) e nível de escolaridade baixo [ensino fundamental completo (37,4%)] entre os pacientes. A maioria deles eram brasileiros (93,5%), residentes no estado de São Paulo (98,4%), principalmente na cidade de São Paulo (63,6%). Pacientes residentes em outros estados do Brasil também foram atendidos no serviço (1,6%), bem como estrangeiros (6,5%). Coinfecção por HCV foi identificada em 7,8% dos pacientes; e por HIV em 1,3% destes. De base, 109/617 (17,66%) pacientes eram AgHBe positivo [infecção crônica: 42/617 (6,8%); hepatite crônica: 67/617 (10,8%)]; 350/617 (56,72%) pacientes eram AgHBe negativo [infecção crônica: 290/617 (47,0%); hepatite crônica: 60/617 (9,7%)]; 104/617 (16,9%) pacientes eram Anti-HBc Total e Anti-HBs positivos; 49/617 (8,0%) pacientes eram Anti-HBc Total isolado; e 5/617 (0,8%) pacientes eram portadores de perfil sorológico anômalo da hepatite B. Entre o início e término de seguimento foram observados diminuição significativa dos valores de ALT, AST, APRI, carga viral (p < 0,001), hemoglobina (p=0,007) e bilirrubina total (p=0,011), bem como aumento significativo de bilirrubina direta e INR (p < 0,001). O FIB-4 não apresentou diferença estatisticamente significativa no mesmo intervalo. A análise mostra que 30,3% dos pacientes receberam tratamento com antivirais, sendo Tenofovir (28,3%) o mais prescrito, seguido de Lamivudina (19,8%), Tenofovir+Lamivudina (19,8%) e Entecavir (19,2%). Entecavir apresentou a maior taxa de soroconversão de AgHBe (6/9; 66,66%), enquanto que Lamivudina apresentou a maior taxa para AgHBs (5/30; 16,66%). Tenofovir possui maior potencial para redução de carga viral, aumento de plaquetas e melhora de enzimas hepáticas do que Lamivudina e Entecavir (p < 0,05). No total, foram realizadas 5412 consultas médicas, sendo a maioria delas do tipo \"seguimento\" (85,8%). Faltas foram registradas em 11,9% das consultas médicas agendadas no período. Conclusões: A população atendida no serviço é heterogênea, com representação de diferentes sexos, etnias, faixas etárias e nacionalidades; ao menos 14 nacionalidades representadas, refletindo o fenômeno da migração observado globalmente. São necessárias ações educacionais para promoção da adesão aos cuidados médicos adequadosBackground: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major public health problem with significant burden across all global regions, once they affect about 250 million people around the world. Worldwide, due to the great migratory movement, changes were described in the profile of patients with hepatitis B. In this way, we aimed to characterize the population of patients with chronic hepatitis B seen in the ambulatory A2MG404 of Viral Hepatitis of HC-FMUSP. Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study of 617 new patients with positive serological tests results for HBV, followed up in the A2MG404 ambulatory between January 2005 and December 2015. Demographic, epidemiological and clinical data were obtained from institutional electronic medical records (SIGH-PRODESP, HCMED and ProntMed). Data collection and management was performed using REDCap online software (V6.16.4). Statistical analysis was performed using R software (V3.3.0). Shapiro-Wilk Test was used to test the normality of the data; non-parametric data were compared using Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Test; proportions among populations were compared using the Z-Test. Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Male predominance (60.9%); median age of 48 years; white race (70.8%) and low educational level (37.4%) was observed among the patients. Most of them were Brazilian (93.5%), living in the State of São Paulo (98.4%), mainly in the city of São Paulo (63.6%). Patients living in other Brazilian states were also assisted in the service (1.6%), as well as foreigners (6.5%). HCV coinfection were identified in 7.8% of patients; and HIV in 1.3% of these. At baseline, 109/617 (17.66%) patients were HBeAg positive [chronic infection: 42/617 (6.8%); chronic hepatitis: 67/617 (10.8%)]; 350/617 (56.72%) patients were HBeAg negative [chronic infection: 290/617 (47.0%); chronic hepatitis: 60/617 (9.7%)]; 104/617 (16.9%) patients were Total Anti-HBc and Anti-HBs positive; 49/617 (8.0%) patients were Anti-HBc Total isolated; and 5/617 (0.8%) patients had anomalous serological profile of hepatitis B. Significant decrease in ALT, AST, APRI, viral load (p < 0.001), hemoglobin (p = 0.007) and total bilirubin (p = 0.011); as well as significant increase of direct bilirubin and INR (p < 0.001) of patients were observed during the follow-up. FIB-4 score didn\'t present a statistically significant difference in the same interval. The analysis shows that 30.3% of the patients received antiviral treatment, being Tenofovir (28.3%) the most prescribed, followed by Lamivudine (19.8%), Tenofovir+Lamivudine (19.8%) and Entecavir (19.2%). Entecavir presented the highest HBeAg seroconversion rate (6/9; 66.66%), whereas Lamivudine presented the highest rate for HBsAg (5/30, 16.66%). Tenofovir has greater potential for viral load reduction, platelet increase, and hepatic enzymes normalization than Lamivudine and Entecavir (p < 0.05). In total, 5412 medical appointment were performed, most of them was classified as \"follow up\" type (85.8%). Absences were recorded in 11.9% of the medical appointments scheduled in the period. Conclusions: The population served in the service is heterogeneous, with representation of different genders, ethnicities, age groups and nationalities. In it, at least 14 nationalities are represented, reflecting the phenomenon of immigration observed worldwide. Educational actions are required to promote adherence to the necessary medical care for these patients

Full textAbstract:
Dans un contexte de grandes transformations de la médecine générale, cette thèse s’intéresse aux déterminants de l’offre de soins des médecins généralistes. Nous avons développé différentes stratégies micro-économétriques pour dans premier temps comprendre l’effet de la féminisation sur les revenus des médecins généralistes et plus particulièrement sur leurs comportements d’activité en termes de volume de soins fournis mais également de composition de l’activité. Dans un deuxième temps, nous cherchons à étudier les déterminants du choix du lieu d’installation des jeunes médecins généralistes, au sein d’une région et à identifier les leviers qui pourraient améliorer leur répartition sur le territoire. Nos résultats confirment que les femmes ont d’une part une offre de soins quantitativement plus faible que celle des hommes et que le contenu de leur offre est également différent. Toutefois, ils adoptent des comportements d’installation similaires. Les facteurs qui influencent le choix du lieu d’installation sont plutôt des caractéristiques du lieu, comme les caractéristiques associées à l’offre de soins, à la demande de soins, ou aux équipements. L’objectif de ce projet de recherche est, à travers une approche micro-économétrique, de mieux appréhender les préférences des médecins. Nous souhaitons comprendre ces préférences à travers les arbitrages travail/loisir du médecin et donc l’intensité de l’offre de travail (arbitrage entre nombre d’actes et durée de consultation), mais aussi selon les choix d’installation du médecin tant par le choix du lieu que par les modalités de cette installation, à savoir une activité libérale et ou salariée tout en sachant que ces décisions dépendent fortement des revenus espérés et donc de contextes différenciés de demande de soinsIn the context of changes of general practice (uneven distribution of young general practitioners (GPs) across the country, strong feminisation), this thesis focuses on the determinants of the outpatient care supply of general practitioners. Using different micro-econometric analyses, firstly we want to understand the impact of feminization on the incomes of general practitioners and specifically on their private practice behaviours in terms of volume of care provided but also composition of the activity (consultations, home visits). Secondly, we study the determinants of the practice location choice within the region and we identify the levers that could improve the distribution of GPs in the area. Our results confirm that female GPs provide fewer services than male GPs and they also have a different composition of private practice activity. However, we show that male and female GPs adopt a similar practice location choice. Factors characterizing the place of installation as the characteristics associated with the supply of care, the demand for care, or equipment influence the practice location choice

In this study, five methods such as single exponential smoothing、H-W exponential smoothing、Fourier series analysis、ARIMA model and Artificial Neural Network were used to establish the Forecasting Models for the Visitor Arrivals in Taiwan. By using the MAPE、RMSPE and Theil’s Inequality Coefficient to access the forecast ability of above methods. The results suggested that H-W exponential smoothing、ARIMA model and Artificial Neural Network are more suitable to forecast the Visitor Arrivals in Taiwan. The Back-propagation Network, BPN, was used in this study to availably increase the precision of fitting by conducting the appropriate trend element in Input layer. Also from the results obtained from sensitivity analysis, it was able to reasonably reduce the number of element of input layer. In accordance with bursting SARS event, the intervention function of sustained unit step function was introduced into the Input layer of Artificial Neural Network in this study. This method was able to precisely simulate both the Outlier during the SARS bursting period and reasonably forecast visitor arrivals in Taiwan during general period. The forcast results indicated about 3 million 500 thousands visitor arrivals in Taiwan for 2006 and 3 million 700 thousands visitor arrivals in Taiwan for 2007. From this trend, it is still having a large gap to achieve the Tourist Doubled Plan as 5 million visitor arrivals in Taiwan for 2008.

Full textAbstract:
The live music performance industry is growing tremendously in South Africa, with more and more international artists performing on our shores year after year. Competition is growing and various companies are beginning to identify this as a business opportunity to make money. However, managing live music performances is a complex task which involves managing various aspects (critical success factors) of the event in order to ensure that it is a success. Apart from this, visitors attend these performances hoping that their expectations will be exceeded and the performance is something which can be treasured and is worth remembering once everything is over. This is referred to as a memorable experience. In order to ensure a memorable visitor experience, it is essential for managers to be aware of what the visitors regard as important critical success factors. These are aspects that management can control and improve. Thus, the critical success factors should be implemented effectively in order to ensure that the event is memorable for visitors attending the live music performance.
While various critical success factors are familiar to event organisers, they differ from event to event. Thus, the critical success factors of one event cannot be implemented at another with the same expectation of success. This is due to the heterogeneous groups of people who attend these events and who cannot be regarded as being the same, as each individual will have different expectations of the same event. Therefore, it is also important for the managers of live music performances to determine how the visitors to the different genre events regard the various critical success factors that are vital for a memorable experience. This is significant, as various music genres attract different attendees who each have their own expectations of a music genre and which may differ from those of visitors to other music genres. For example, the expectations for a memorable experience of individuals attending a classical live music performance will differ from individuals attending a rock or pop live music performance. In addition, it is also important for management to compare those critical success factors identified by the visitors to their own ideas of what is important for a successful event in order to identify any shortcomings. Thus, it was expedient to seek answers to the questions of what visitors to live music performances regard as important critical success factors as well as what the managers consider to be important for a memorable experience. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the critical success factors for managing a memorable visitor experience at live music performances from both the demand and supply sides. The said factors were subsequently compared in order to establish whether any shortcomings exist.
This thesis comprises three articles. Firstly, the research was conducted from a demand (visitors) side. Thus, the aim of Chapter 3 was to determine what attendees at live music performances regard as being critical success factors for different music genres so as to enhance memorable visitor experiences. Surveys were conducted at various genres of live music performances which included classical music (Il Divo), R&B (Usher), rock (Sting), blues (Michael Buble), pop (Roxette) and Afrikaans music (Steve Hofmeyr). A total of 4 110 questionnaires were administered and a general profile of the visitors in terms of the different genres was compiled. A factor analysis was subsequently performed in order to determine the critical success factors for all six genres. Thereafter, an Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied in order to compare the critical success factors of the various genres with one another. The results indicated significant statistical differences amongst the different music genres with regard to that which the visitors to the different live music performances regard as being important for a memorable visitor experience.
Secondly, the research was conducted from a supply (managers) side and the objective of Chapter 4 was to determine what the managers consider to be important critical success factors in ensuring a memorable visitor experience at a live music performance. A qualitative research method, by means of interviews, was used to obtain the relevant information from the selected participants. All the data collected in the process were transcribed into text and presented in a narrative form. The six step method formulated by Cresswell (2009:185-189) for data analysis and interpretation was used to analyse the data. Four major themes emerged from the analysis where each theme was differentiated in terms of various categories and subcategories. This process contributed greatly towards gaining detailed information regarding the main purpose of organising a live music performance; identifying the aspects that managers consider to be important when organising a live music performance and those aspects that are important in pre-, during- and post-event planning phases as well as how managers define a memorable experience. Lastly, in Chapter 5 a comparison was performed between the demand and supply sides of live music performances in order to establish whether any differences exist amongst the aspects that management consider to be important compared to the critical success factors that the visitors regard as being important to achieve a memorable visitor experience. Both qualitative (supply side) and quantitative (demand side) research methods were implemented in this research. The results of the critical success factors drawn from the first and second articles were used to conduct this research. The results of both the demand and supply sides were subsequently compared with one another where significant differences had been identified.
This was the first time that research was conducted from both the demand and supply sides within the live music performance environment. The results of this research contribute greatly to literature and to the music industry. In addition, this was also the first time that both a qualitative and a quantitative research method were applied in research conducted at live music performances and which were subsequently compared with one another. Determining the differences between the critical success factors identified contributes towards event specific education and information for current as well as future live music performance managers. Therefore, results of this research can be employed to educate and inform current and future managers in the live music performance industry regarding important aspects relating to the enhancement of the important critical success factors that contribute to a memorable experience when individuals attend a live music performance.PhD (Tourism Management), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

The main emphasis in managing a recreational area is to satisfy tourists’ leisure and recreational needs. The key to successfully running a recreational area is to stay informed of tourists’ leisure activities and needs. The objectives of this study include the following: (1) Explore the existing ecology, tourism and scenic elements of the Tsengwen Reservoir; (2) Analyze the relationships between tourist characteristics, participatory behavior and leisure needs; (3) Examine whether existing scenic elements and activity design are capable of satisfying tourists’ demands with respect to environment, activities and experience. In our concluding remark, we offer some recommendations for the Reservoir Administration to refer to in addressing the demand gaps. We adopted the convenience sampling method in completing our survey. In total, 500 tourists were selected to complete the questionnaire, out of which 330 were valid. Results of our study are as follows: 1.32.1% of the respondents are passive participants. The majority of the tourists are under the age of 20, traveling with friends and classmates on a coach tour. The maximum stopover time is 1 hour with most of the time spent viewing the dam’s water exploitation. 2.35.2% of the respondents are moderately active participants. Most of them learnt about the attraction through relatives and most of them travel by coach. The stopover time exceeds 8 hours. The majority of the participants are senior citizens (aged 60 and over) from Central or Eastern Taiwan. 3.32.7% of the respondents are active participants. Most of them travel with family or relatives by car. Average spending ranges between $101 and $500. The majority of the participants are from Northern Taiwan. 4.We conducted an ANOVA analysis on the number of visits and tourists’ leisure needs (environment, activities and experience). We observed no significant variance with respect to environment and experience but significant variance with respect to two activity needs namely, “Arrange an ecological guided tour and educational activities” (α=5%) and “Arrange cultural and art activities” (α=10%). Based on the results of our study, we recommend that the Reservoir Administration should host more ecology tours or cultural/art events and appeal to tourists through word-of-mouth management and effective promotion. Certainly, it is also essential to offer tourists a safe and risk-free recreational environment and abundant space for them to relax and unwind to satisfy their overall leisure needs.

Cross-strait economic, personnel and culture exchanges are greatly influenced by policies and politics; therefore all policies, formulated in the context of the immediate political atmosphere, must be negotiated and discussed by both governments across the Strait and have relevant regulations adjusted before full implementation. The opening up of Mainland China tourist visits to Taiwan is an important policy of President Ma after taking office; the Taiwanese tourism industry also had high expectations for the policy, hoping that the great increase in tourist numbers to Taiwan will bring about significant economic benefits. This study has conducted empirical analysis on the policy of opening up for Mainland China tourist visits to Taiwan and the possible impact the 2012 Presidential Elections has on Mainland China tourists’ inclination for traveling to Taiwan, with the aim of better understanding the influence of policies and politics have on demands of Mainland China visits to Taiwan. Taking into reference the number of Mainland China visits in the period from July 2008 to June 2012, this study has adapted the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model (SARIMA) in creating a model on the demands of Mainland China visits to Taiwan. Furthermore, by examining the model’s predictive ability through RMSE, MAE, MAPE, and THEIL measures, the study has singled out the SARIMA(2,1,3)(1,0,1)12 as the best predictive model for the demands of Mainland China visits to Taiwan, and has used it to conduct intervention analysis. Empirical evidence shown from the intervention analysis indicate that there is an obvious seasonal cycle for Mainland China visits to Taiwan, and that the train accident in April 2011 temporarily lowered Mainland China tourists’ will to visit Taiwan. Moreover, evidence of the study also show that estimated coefficients for policies of opening up cross-strait direct flights and Mainland China individual tourists to Taiwan proved to be positive, implicating that the two policies are conducive to the increase in Mainland China tourists to Taiwan, which is in accordance to the study’s predictions. It can also be seen through the study’s evidence that the 2012 Presidential Elections had a negative impact on the number of Mainland China group tours to Taiwan, but a positive impact on that of individual tourists to Taiwan. The results of evidence also show that there was a negative estimated coefficient for the policy of raising maximum Mainland China tourists’ maximum limit to 4000 per day, which does not conform to predictions. Also, due to high sample variance, the estimated coefficients for the concerned issues of this study on opening up cross-strait direct flights, opening up for Mainland China individual tourists to Taiwan, increasing Mainland China tourists’ maximum limit to 4000 per day, and the impact of the 2012 Presidential Election were shown to be statistically insignificant.

This thesis mainly investigates the relationship between physician visits for children aged from 0 to 5 years old and characteristics of family as well as copayment from 1997 to 2000. It attempts to estimate the effect of every factor that potentially affects physician visits for children. Data mainly come from the fee application form of National Health Insurance Bureau and the Survey of Family Income and Expenditure from 1997 to 2000. The results obtained from the random effects model using the panel data indicate that children’s demand for physician visits decreases as children gradually grow up. The copayment is positively significant for children aged from 0 to 2 but insignificant for children aged from 3 to 5. The variable for density of physician is also positively significant. Other variables such as parents’ age, mother’s education and rate of mother’s participation in job market are insignificant. These results are consistent with the following hypotheses. First, children become stronger as they grow up, and, in the meantime, parents’ experience accumulates as their children grow up. Parents do not rush to send their children to hospitals or clinics whenever their children look sick as before. Second, the fact that the copayment policies are not designed uniformly in every area in Taiwan does not indicate that the impact of copayment is negatively significant, which is, at least, partly due to the fact that the amount of copayment is not much.

The main purpose of this study is to understand the differences of cognition and demand of B&B tourists in Shin-She area with various socio-economic background and the relationship between tourists’ c. As to the future business strategy of B&B owners, they should also focus on the fact that if the tourists nowadays have higher levels of cognition with B&B, and then to explore in depth the specific needs of tourists on accommodation issues, to facilitate future planning in serving more diversified services and to meet the needs of tourists of different socio-economic background requirement. This study method was conducted using questionnaire survey, aiming at the tourists of Shin-She area with a convenience sampling method. 450 questionnaires were distributed. A total of 420 questionaires were considered valid. Analysis methods include descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, t test, correlation analysis and factor analysis to verify the hypotheses. The results show that Shin-She area B&B visitors have an average congnition and demand level of 3.74 and 4.08, which demonstrate the fact that B & B visitors have positive evaluation of cognition, while demand at all levels has shown a high demand state. The cognitive aspects of Shin-She B&B visitors can be divided into the following four factors: "human resources", "economic efficiency", "interpersonal relations", "pastoral style", while the one "human resources", has the highest level. In aspect of demand with B&B, it can be divided into the following four factors: "intangible services", "natural resources", "physical service", "packages", and among which the "invisible service" has the highest level. The results also indicate that the levels of demand with B&B and cognition toward B&B of ShinShe area visitors are affected by the tourists’ demographics. The factors include gender, age, education level, occupation, marital status, average monthly income, place of residence. The level of demand with B&B and the level of cognition toword B&B industry correlate into a positive relative relation, which means that when the level of cognition toword B&B becomes higher, the level of demand with B&B is increasing.

In many countries, tourism industry has already become one of the important indexes in the national economy. Lots of activities are getting involved in tourism industry, which benefits the transportation, accommodation, catering, entertainment and retailing sectors. It is, therefore, the main source of improving economy and earning foreign exchange. Visiting the market hugely and extremely, potentially in the face of the economic output value must be through combining local peculiar visiting resources with natural humanity in order to create the tour appeal (Tourism attractive) to match visitors, demand motive coming to travel. Furthermore, it is really an important subject for researchers in the tourism field to study on how to use the accurate method to effectively forecast and assess the number of people who come for sightseeing. The traditional forecasting model uses a large number of historical data to construct the model, and to explain variables and it must be matched (satisfied) with the statistical ways. The grey forecasting theory is aimed at the system model under the uncertainty, information integrality, and it only needs the minium 4 data to forecast. It can obtain the good result of prediction in short term forecasts. Therefore, we use grey forecasting model to predict the number of outbound visitors. The data used to be analyzed in the article gets from the Tourism Bureau, to compare accuracy and error rates with other forecast models. The results of the research hopefully can offer the government and to be a decision basis and reference of the follow-up researches.

Hot spring bathing has gradually become a tourist fashion in Taiwan. Most SPA managers regard it as the leisure service industry for both physical and mental health purposes. The spatial experiences of SPA tourism are poor, because the service quality varies a lot. They couldn’t provide good space and facilities for the comfortable services for visitors. Previous literature was focused on the discussions of the history of changes in hot spring quality, geological and geographical aspects. Along with the booming spa industry, relevant literature on spa hotel service quality and satisfaction is increasing. B&B lodges have gradually been accepted. However, current literature of this concern still lacks in terms of the relationship between various accommodation services and satisfaction. Therefore, further study on the B&B and a hotel service quality and visitors’ satisfaction is necessary. The purposes of this study included: (1) to understand the differences in recreation demand by visitors of different backgrounds and characteristics, (2) to understand the differences in expectation by visitors of different backgrounds and characteristics, (3) to understand the differences in service quality by visitors of different backgrounds and characteristics, (4) to understand the relationships among visitors’ recreation demand, expectation and service quality, (5) to understand the relationship between recreation service quality perceptions and their overall satisfaction. This study applied the convenient sampling approach to collect data from 271 respondents at Chihpen Spring B&B and 309 at hotels to fill out the questionnaire, respectively. The SPSS statistical software was used to analyze the data. The findings of this study included that: (1) there are no significant differences in recreation demand for visitors of different backgrounds and characteristics, (2) there are significant positive relationships among recreation demand, expectation and service quality, (3) There is significant positive relationship between service quality and satisfaction. The study results have suggested that health journey should be promoted and water quality control indicators should be implemented to satisfy the requirement of tourists on their relaxation and spiritual happiness. In addition, this market should pay attention to the customers like government employees, military officers and teachers who could use their Citizen Travel Cards to cover their spendings to reach high-quality and low cost consumption style. In the aspect of management improvement, this study suggests that staff education and training should be enhanced, and the overall marketing strategies and the creation of bathing cultural style also should be emphasized.

Recently due to the implementation of two days off weekly system and upgrading concept of leisure resort, people in Taiwan has more choice to their entertainment activities. With the spread of comedy-adventure American film in 2006, Night At The Museum, it arouses people interest in history culture. Visiting the History Museum has become a good idea for physical and mental relaxing, exploring the history origin and learning the tradition and of ancestors. This study aims to survey on factors that are affected to the visitors, and to analyze all information about their basic information, motive of attendance, demanding of interpreter, willing to pay for guide service, and price would like to be paid, and so on. As the service of interpreter shall not be counted same as ordinary market price, Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) is adopted in this study. Through this non-market valuation method, we estimate the price that the visitors are willing to pay for the interpreter service. This study used open-ended method for the price, and the result showed that the 46.4% visitors would like to pay for the interpreter service under arrangement of the Museum. Moreover, 93% visitors agreed that if the Museum arranged to provide the interpreter service, then it advantaged to resort the experience and cultural knowledge for the visitors. In the factor of willingness to pay on interpreter, the male with college education background and the housewife had a high willing. Others like self-employments and workers who lived in the southern part of Taiwan had not. In the aspect of value of willingness to pay, military servicemen, civil servants and teachers, service industry, self-employment, retiree who were among 41 to 50 years old as well as 21 to 30 years old had high demand. Contrary, the visitors with 40000 to 100000 income and college education background had low demand to the interpreter service. We learned from the result of this research that it had a high demand for interpreter from the visitors in Taiwan, and most of the visitors were willingly to pay for this service. In order to satisfy to this demand on interpreter service, we suggested that the Museum issues different entry ticket with additional NT50 to NT100 dollars, and let the visitors enjoy better resort quality if they would like to pay higher fee for this extra interpreter service. Furthermore, we suggested that the interpreter should be cultivated and fostered by a qualified public organization, and they should be awarded an accredited certification before employment. By this chance, the cultivated interpreter should make use of what they have learned. Not only to supply the labor market but to upgrade the quality of domestic tourism. The visitors can enjoy high quality of the intellectual trip. Keywords: Demand of Interpreter, Willingness to Pay, the Taiwan History Museum

This paper uses convenience sampling to explore visitors’ recreation motives, facility demand and satisfaction to Kaohsiung World Games Main Stadium. The results show that: (1) Male visitors outnumbers female ones; the age of visitors is between sixteen and thirty; most visitors have college degree or above, come from other cities, ride motorcycles, enter the park with friends in the afternoon and stay about one to two hours; about 50% of visitors visit the park during weekends. (2) In terms of facility demand, visitors who have strong recreation motives show high demands for restrooms, facility maintenance and lighting. High satisfaction is shown in large space, convenient parking and convenient transportation. (3) In terms of recreation motives, the competency, challenge and commitment of male visitors are significantly higher than female ones. Facility demands vary with visitors’ age, educational level, transportation, visiting time and companions. (4) Visitors who have higher facility demands are not satisfied with the current functions of exercise, environment and space and convenience.

Tourists’ choice of tourist destination and their tourism behaviors are mainly affected by destination image. If we can understand the formation of destination image and the tourism behavior elements generated from influences of such image, we’ll be able to design recreational activities that satisfy tourists’ demands. This paper makes a research on Taroko National Park, which is representative of natural resources, historical culture and tourism. It adopts factor analysis as theassessment method to extract factors concerning tourists’ cognition of the destination (Taroko National Park) image (e.g. cognitive factors, emotional factors and unique factors), uses cluster analysis to divide different groups of destination images, and further utilizes cross-over analysis to investigate different national park destination image groups’ differences in tourism behavior, experience quality and social and economic backgrounds. Then, travel cost method is used to construct a model of national park’s recreational demands, and above-described destination image groups are integrated into the model. The appropriate On-Site Poissonmodel of count data model is utilized to estimate the model of Taroko National Park’s recreational demand; factors affecting such demands are also analyzed. Finally, contingent behavior approach is used to establish model ofTaroko National Park’s tourism demands; four kinds of schemes that enhance Taroko National Park travel quality are proposed: “improving infrastructure”, “increasing service quality”, “strengthening profession of interpretation” and “intensifying environmental management”. Under these four schemes, Panel recreational demand model is adopted to analyze relevant factors that influence tourists’ recreational needs; different national park destination image groups’ differences in recreational benefit, price flexibility and income elasticity are further estimated. This study obtained four empirical results.First, a cluster analysis identified four clustered segments for five destination image factors in which the multi-purpose image seekers were found to be the most important segment. Second, destination image clusters differ significantly in terms of national park demands.Third,the “natural-attraction image clusters” has the highest CS values than other destination image clusters.Fourth, “travel quality enhancement scheme” can significantly increase economic benefits of Taroko National Park. Especially, “improvement in service quality” makes the greatest contribution to recreational benefit enhancement. Results of this study will not only help Taroko National Park know tourists’ recreational demand behaviors in the park and formulate tourism destination marketing strategies, but also assist in national park recreation resource management and planning as well as budget allocation.

Owing to the implementation of two days off weekly system and upgrading concept of leisure resort, people in Taiwan has more choice to their entertainment activities. Since the worldwide popular fashion to be affected by "the visiting on the museum for natural and deep cultural trip", the National Museum of Natural Science becomes a good and ideal place to visit recently for physical relax and mental enrichment of the great nature. This study aims to survey on factors that are affected to the visitors, and to analyze all information about their basic information, motive of attendance, demanding of interpreter, willing to pay for guide service, and price would like to be paid, and so on. As the service of interpreter shall not be counted same as ordinary market price, Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) is adopted in this study. Through this non-market valuation method, we estimate the price that the visitors willing to pay for the interpreter service. This study used open-ended method for the price, and the result showed that the 59.3% visitors would like to pay for the interpreter service under arrangement of the Museum. Moreover, 90% visitors agree that if the Museum arranged to provide the interpreter service, then it advantages to the visitors for their resort experience and cultural knowledge. In the aspect of demand on interpreter, the six-sevens among 70% visitors would like to pay for the interpreter service. Under survey, it proves that the demand of interpreter and the willingness to pay of the visitors is a positive correlation. Every time each visitor would pay $32.24 (NT$) to the Museum for interpreter service. We learn from the result of this research that it has a high demand for interpreter from the visitors in Taiwan, and most of the visitors are willingly to pay for this service. In order to satisfy to this demand on interpreter service, we suggest that the Museum issues different entry ticket sold at two prices, and let the visitors enjoy better resort quality if they would like to pay higher fee for this extra interpreter service. Furthermore, we suggest that the interpreter shall be cultivated and fostered by a qualified public organization, and they shall be awarded an accredited certification before employment. By this chance, the cultivated interpreter should make use of what they have learned, and the visitors can enjoy high quality of the intellectual trip.

The aims of this study were prompted to realize the viewpoints of tourists on service demand of interpreter and their willingness to pay. Because the service of interpreter did not own the price like in general market, therefore the Contingent Valuation Method was used to estimate the willingness price that tourists would pay for interpreter at National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in this study. Also the privacy data, motivation and influence factors on willingness to pay of tourists were examined. The opened questionnaire for asking price was conducted in this study. The results showed that 39.3% visitors had the willing to pay for interpreter service. And about 75% visitors agreed that it was helpful for raising the tourism experience and knowledge if the museum could provide such service. Meanwhile, on the level of demand of interpreter, 14% visitors had the willingness to pay among the 53% visitors who needed this service. It displayed that the visitors would pay the average of NT$ 72.1 per hour for this service. From empirical results, it showed that the level of demand of interpreter was very high in Taiwan. And the visitors also had the strongly willingness to pay on this service. For satisfying the visitor’s demand of interpreter, it is suggested that such museum can establish the paying system of interpreter service to let those visitors who need this service have better quality. Also the training of interpreter, we suggested that government should standard the code of conduct, and approve and conduct them to career market for enhancing the level of interpreter.

The key of cultural heritage preservation is to deeply enhance the public cognition and to develop the correct public behavior regarding the cultural heritage preservation and the livelihood. In this research, we targeted on Taiwanese Dalongdoug Baoan temple, the culture heritage medal from The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. This study also applied travel cost method to estimate the On-Site Poisson tourism demand function, and investigated the relationships between perceived value clusters and visit demand. And then, this investigation is measured the consumer surplus (CS) by perceived value clusters from the Dalongdong Baoan Temple. There are five research conclusions in this investigation. First of all, the factors of perceived value by Dalongdong Baoan Temple’s visitors caused from Mind Adscription、Express Service、Literary Art Enlightenment、Heritage Maintenance and Region Development. Second, “Multi-Purpose Perceived” is the major group of market segmentation. Third, the different cluster and type of visitors are not the influence on Culture Heritage of perceived value、relationship quality and behavior intention. Fourth, if the “Service Perceived” visitors’ perceived value is higher, the frequency of visits will be increasing. Last but not the least, the consumer surplus (CS) value of “Literary Art and Emotion” visitors is higher than other perceived value visitant.

The purposes of the study was to evaluate an effect of increasing balance task demands and visual tracking task demands, on stability and visual tracking performances, with possibility of any interaction among them. Twenty healthy participants were asked to perform various visual tracking tasks, with different attentional demands, while standing on various support surfaces. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measure design was performed to estimate significant effect. Support surface properties showed significant effects on stability measures but no significant effect on visual tracking performances were noticed. Significant effect of increasing visual tracking task demands on visual tracking performances were found. However, increasing visual tracking task demand did not show any significant effect on stability measures. Significant interaction effect was also found between surface properties and visual tracking task demands for stability measures. In conclusion, increasing balance demands effect stability and increasing visual tracking demands effect visual tracking performances.
