Public transport plays an important role in urban mobility. Public transport planners seek to improve existing public transport networks to better serve existing passengers and recruit new passengers, particularly as demand patterns change with evolving demographics and land use. One strategy for network improvement is to add new routes, which can improve service by reducing circuity in the network. In large, complex, and multi-modal public transport networks, it is challenging to determine where new routes should be added. A systematic approach for incremental network improvements, such as adding new bus services, is needed. This research proposes a new approach to network-level public transport planning by combining origin-destination (OD) level analysis with new spatial aggregation methodologies, and develops a comprehensive framework for the identification of corridors for new bus services. In the context of this framework, this dissertation contributes several new methodologies. First, it proposes a methodology for defining zones that reflect the spatial characteristics of a public transport network. This produces zonal pairs that are appropriate for OD level analysis of travel in the network. Second, the dissertation develops metrics and rules for the identification of OD pairs that can benefit from new bus services, and proposes methods for estimating the expected benefits of such services at the OD level. Finally, a new methodology for spatially clustering OD pairs into corridors is developed, based on trajectory clustering methods. This final methodology represents a new way of aggregating OD level information to accomplish the first step in bus network design: the definition of corridors for new services. The framework is demonstrated for the identification of corridors for new bus services in the London public transport network. Bus stops and rail stations are clustered into 1,000 zones. A subset of zonal OD pairs with circuitous service are identified as candidates for improvement through new bus routes. An algorithm that clusters OD pairs into corridors for bus service is developed and applied. Several promising corridors are identified, and their potential is confirmed in post-analysis.

The institutional and financial circumstances at many transit agencies significantly constrain the bus planning process. Long-term planning focuses on major infrastructure projects, while short-term planning focuses on scheduling and minor service adjustments. Medium-range bus planning is given limited attention in many agencies, especially those with significant capacity constraints. Recent research has developed a new method of assembling data that has the potential to be very useful to service planners: origin, destination, and interchange inference (ODX), which uses farecard and vehicle location data to provide a previously unavailable level of geographically precise disaggregate data on passengers' linked trips. This research develops a framework for using ODX for medium- to long-range bus planning. It proposes a service planning process that targets limited resources at the areas that need them most. It develops tools and methods for using ODX data to design and evaluate realistic, practical, and incremental service changes to improve accessibility to key parts of the agency's service area. The process has five phases: identification of target locations, analysis of those locations, development of proposed service changes, evaluation of those proposals, and post-implementation review. Several case studies are presented using data from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), the transit agency for the Boston region. First, three target locations in the MBTA service area are analyzed. Service changes that would improve access to each of these locations are proposed and evaluated, including additional frequency on an existing route, the creation of a new route, and extensions of two existing routes. ODX and related data are used to analyze each proposal in detail in a process that can be replicated by other agencies with similar data.

Streszczenie:

A critical understanding of stakeholders' involvement in destination tourism planning and development, and the factors that influence their perceptions, opinions and involvement in the decision-making process and evaluation of the destination competitive strategies, is not only important for tourism destination planners and managers, but also for the host community's support for tourism development and the destination's competitiveness. It has been widely recognised that tourism destinations need to plan their development strategies to succeed internationally and gain a sustainable competitive advantage. However, there is scant empirical evidence that addresses approaches in which stakeholder participation in the planning process contributes to destination competitiveness. This study examines the interrelationships between various destination-specific situational factors, including economic, social, political, environmental, and cultural factors, community participation, community attachment, and impact on the development of the Sultanate of Oman's tourism resources and attractions, and in turn the support of its competitive strategies. Furthermore, it investigates potential effects of those interrelationships on the government's initiatives in formulating and implementing tourism development, management and marketing policies/strategies. The key objective is to develop and empirically test a conceptual framework of tourism destination competitiveness that focuses on a stakeholder's perspective of Oman, and investigates the interrelationships between its constructs. Such an approach echoes the stakeholder perspective of 'Third Way' tourism planning suggested by Burns (2004). This study utilises social exchange and stakeholder theory. Accordingly, the research problem is: How does the interrelationship between destination-specific situational factors, stakeholders' perceived power (community participation), and community attachment, impact on the development of Oman's tourism resources and attractions, and in turn the support of its competitive strategies? Furthermore, what effects may those interrelationships have on the government's approaches in formulating and implementing tourism development and marketing policies? A four-step methodological approach including qualitative and quantitative methods was applied. Following research refinement and pilot studies, a total of 987 usable questionnaires were collected from Omani stakeholders using a convenience and quota sampling method. The final empirical results were submitted to three focus groups in Oman for elucidation and confirmation of results, with a particular focus on the practical implications. The hypotheses testing indicated that tourism stakeholders' preferences about tourism resources and attractions development are a function of socio-cultural impacts, economic impacts, and community participation. Furthermore, the results highlighted a strong link between stakeholders' preferences about tourism resources and attractions and support for competitive destination strategies such as destination marketing efforts and activities, and sustainable destination management and practices. Additionally, empirical results supported the existence of a relationship between community participation and community attachment constructs; however this relationship was somewhat negative. The study also did not prove the existence of any relationship between community attachment and preferences about tourism resources and attractions development constructs. Furthermore, new findings that were not hypothesised indicated that tourism stakeholders who perceived socio-cultural and economic impacts were most likely to support further tourism development and competitive destination strategies. Additionally, stakeholders' attachment to their communities had a weak but positive effect on their perception about tourism's environmental impacts and sustainable destination management and practices. The focus group participants mostly confirmed the study's empirical findings with a few diverging opinions regarding some issues such as environmental impacts and mass tourism versus alternative tourism policies. Thus, the study's findings provided various theoretical and methodological contributions, closing the gap in the notions of destination competitiveness and stakeholders' active participation in tourism planning and development. As well, the practical implications of the study's findings could be adopted by Oman's tourism planning authorities to enhance the destination's competitiveness in the international tourism marketplace. This study is considered a personal effort. Thus, I used the first person 'I' throughout the study to express and reflect my personal work. The use of 'I' in research is not an unacceptable notion, however, it is recommended that the researcher not take cover behind using 'we' or the 'researcher' in his/her work (Gummesson, 2000, p.xi).

Streszczenie:

Responding to the needs of a rapidly growing urban population, Stockholm is investing in multiple urban development projects, one of which being Slatkthusområdet, the so-called meatpacking district located in the southern area of the city. Atrium Ljungberg, the Swedish developer responsible for a big parcel of the land in the area, envisions making the slaughterhouse district into an attractive destination for business, society and people in search of cultural life. The developer aims to transform the location from an industrial site to a lively neighbourhood for the society, with a diversity of activities that will work together with a food market in one of the main buildings of the area. Their plan is to establish a food destination that will have a leading role in Slakthusområdet. In the long run, the food destination will become the hub and the unifying link between the various actors and residents of the area, but also a destination that will lift Stockholm as a reference city for gastronomic experiences. It is a crucial issue to look at the identity and experience of a place, especially when proposing the urban renewal for an area that has long been known to have a significant representation in a city. By utilizing placemaking tools and lessons from the feminist urban planning movement, I ask how can we - urban planners, designers, and architects - contribute to placemaking by encouraging certain behaviours, such as collective cooking? Furthermore, from a commercial point of view: how to brand a place? Is it possible to make a win-win, where the developer, the inhabitant, the city, all gain from a place establishing an identity through food? While using Slatkthusområdet as a case study, this thesis project aims to undergo a review of the actions happening in the area, and the actors involved, in order to propose a strategic plan for the urban renewal of the neighbourhood. This plan could be used by the authorities responsible for making decisions regarding urban planning in the city of Stockholm. The celebratory nature of food is universal In search of the universal element that could inspire the creation of public spaces in Slakthusormrådet and extend the domestic life from indoors to outdoors, food as a social tool was continuously appearing as a recommendation during my search. Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations. Sometimes food means survival, sometimes a status, and in many cases, it is a synonym for pleasure. Regardless of the reason, everyone needs to eat, and the process of cooking and preparing each meal is part of many domestic lives around the world. Slakthusområdet is the ideal scenario to experiment with this concept: their history is connected to food production, and the leading developer of the area has the intention to establish the site as a food destination in the city. Thus, I aim to use eating habits to bringing different groups to the public spaces attracted by one common interest: food

Technological innovation with the advances in new media has increasingly become a focus as a strategy to gain competitive advantages for a holiday destination. Yet, there is a lack of understanding about to what extent new media such as social media effects a destination branding from the consumers' perspective. By utilising a mixed method approach and testing the proposed model with multiple destinations, this study provides a more complete and comprehensive understanding of the consumers' engagement with social media in the context of travel planning and its subsequent impacts on the destination brand performance. This study is part of a growing body of research on new media's effects in marketing area and thus will contribute to future research on similar topic.

Streszczenie:

This thesis argues that while analysing markets and developing strategies to exploit the external market place and to attract tourists remains a central focus for tourism marketers, it is not enough on its own to achieve sustainable tourism destination development. The researcher substantiates this argument by exploring the 'participatory tourism planning' concept in detail. Based on this approach, the community is identified as a primary customer for whom tourism marketers have ignored involving in their marketing attention, messages and programmes. The fundamental concept - marketing orientation and customer orientation - combined with emerging marketing theories were reviewed in order to help examine how destination marketing, a community-driven approach, should be implemented within a destination area. This examination of marketing and community based tourism planning set a platform for this research. This analysis examines relevance, applicability and potential for an integration of these two pervasive approaches for tourism planning. Guided by the theoretical examination, an integrated community-based tourism planning and marketing model was proposed. In order to explore gaps between the proposed model and its practicality, three destination areas (Phuket, Samui and Songkla-Hatyai) in Thailand were studied and evaluated. At this pragmatic level, this thesis identified impediments confronting national and local tourism organisations. The findings of this study draw a particular attention to institutional challenges which require clear identification of responsibilities and coordination of all actors involved in the planning and marketing process. These selected case studies have not only provided critical commentaries to assist tourism planners improve strategically their marketing approaches within community tourism planning, but they also have helped provide avenues for future research.

Streszczenie:

The meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions (MICE) industry generates billions of dollars in direct and indirect spending annually, and is considered one of the fastest growing segments of the tourism industry. Destinations that want to capitalize on this industry must understand what drives its planners. The current study used Orlando, Florida as a case study, and investigated whether there are differences between the three meeting planners' types (association, corporate, 3rd party) in regards to destination selection attributes and the recent recession impact. The study further identified attributes that affect future bookings to Orlando. Data was collected from a nationwide survey of meeting planners with a usable sample of 2,388 completed phone surveys and 118 completed online questionnaires. Only one significant difference was found between the three meeting planners' types. This research was performed in the midst of the recent recession. Some effects of the recent economic downturn on the events industry are decreased attendance and more conservative cost management. Most association meeting planners did not cancel or postponed their events, although all planners agree that attendance to their meetings decreased. Third party planners seemed to be the most sensitive to budget allocations. Recommendations for the Orlando Orange County Conventions and Visitor's Bureau include marketing the variety and quality of its meeting facilities better, its extreme weather insurance and its website. It is also wise to pursue more local associations, because those can be the main source of income during recessions.

Streszczenie:

Tourism is often utilised by governments of developing countries to enhance economic development opportunities that will increase the quality of life of citizens. The overreliance on economic growth stimulated by tourism has in many cases compromised environmental and social aspects of sustainable development. Possible solutions to these issues lie in incorporating all dimensions of the development model to address socio- ecological issues, and in improving the role of the tourism industry in shaping sustainable societies, towards a better quality of life for the community. The purpose of this study is to explore key factors influencing the adoption of a people- centred approach to sustainable development within a tourism destination, in particular to achieve greater social outcomes within the sustainable development of Vietnam. In this study, a people-centred approach to sustainable destination management and tourism planning puts people at the centre of sustainable development. The key aspect of a people-centred approach to tourism destination management is the effective engagement of stakeholders in the development process, which aims to ensure the socio-cultural viability of the host community. Underpinning such an approach is a practice of shared moral responsibility among the stakeholders. Through exploring a case study in Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa province, Vietnam, the study employed both qualitative and quantitative approaches in order to examine how a people-centred approach can be applied or enhanced in the study site. In-depth interviews were conducted with governmental officers and content analysis was undertaken to analyse the responses. Two sets of questionnaire surveys were used to seek the responses of tourists and local residents for use in multivariate analysis. A mixed methods approach was used to help answer the applied nature of the research questions.

Lövholmen är ett stadsutvecklingsprojekt där Stockholms sista centrala industriområde omvandlas till en ny, tät stadsdel. Detta examensprojekt redogör (i) en kritisk analys av den aktuella strukturplanen, (ii) och min alternativa illustrationsplan för Lövholmen; “Färgholmen – Ny Stadsform”. Med arkitektonisk nyfikenhet och ett kritiskt perspektiv undersöker jag hur en tät stadsdel kan tillgodose essentiella värden såsom, grönytor,dagsljusförhållanden, publika och offentliga rum. Jag invänder mig mot stadens tillvägagångssätt att maximera lönsamhet med hög exploatering. Genom att frigöra mig från de låsningar och positioner som uppstår med nuvarande fastighetsgränser, kan jag gestalta Ny Stadsform som ger utrymme för essentiella värden och en genhet i staden. Projektets målsättning är att skapa en levande stadsdel i symbios med sig själv och Stockholm; en destination för konst och kultur, ett avtryck i historien som speglar vår samtid. Mitt förslag uppnår 90% byggnadsyta jämfört med stadens förslag, men ger mer utrymme för publika och offentliga rum samt grönområden, i.e. en centraliserad grön park och generösa bostadsgårdar. Låg bebyggelse som gradvis ökar i höjd utifrån kajstråket, skapar varierad skala och typologi vilket även förbättrar mikroklimat och dagsljusförhållanden längs med vattnet. Detta examensprojekt visar en ny stadsform som lyfter de essentiella värdena och samtidigt uppnår en tät, levande stad.
Lövholmen, Stockolm´s last central industrial area, is to be transformed into a high-density residential area. This thesis presents (i) a critical analysis of the proposal from the City of Stockholm, (ii) and my alternative proposal for Lövholmen; “Färgholmen - New Urban Form”. I have approached this thesis project through an architect’s curiosity and a questioning perspective, aiming to understand how to promote essential values such as green areas, daylight conditions, civic space, and varied typologies that include mixed housing and achieve high exploitation. I challenge the City´s profit driven developments that lack the aforementioned essential values. I challenge the boundaries between different property owners. I aim to holistically create a neighbourhood that is connected within itself and with Stockholm City; a destination for art, culture and community, an imprint in history that reflects our contemporary time. My proposal achieves 90% of the developed built space, compared to Stockholm’s proposal, whilst increasing green area and shared space, i.e. in form of a centralised green park. Low rise buildings along the coastline gradually increase in height, creating diverse typology and scale whilst reducing wind tunnels and shadows. This thesis shows a new urban form, promoting essential values whilst achieving a dense living city.

This thesis is focused on the issue of tourism planning within the context of sustainable competitive advantage which can be reached by an engagement of regional stakeholders into the phase of strategy implementation. Its aim is to evaluate cooperation between regional destination management organization and destination's stakeholders during the implementation process of strategic priorities defined in the Tourism Development Strategy in the South Bohemia Region. The thesis utilizes information from representatives of the destination management organization and regional stakeholders to be able to realize so-called Stakeholder analysis. It analyses the destination stakeholders from the point of view of free key attributes. It also pays its attention to the forms of their involvement in the planning of tourism development and their experience with this process. On this basis it formulates the basis for future actions which should lead to an improvement of the current state of cooperation with key regional stakeholders.

Streszczenie:

The Golden Gate Bridge, and the surrounding national parks, are one of the most iconic tourist destinations in the world. Although this area is idyllic in many ways, its underlying governmental set-up creates traffic problems on the US-101 highway that angers tourists and commuters alike. One piece of land that exacerbates the increasing congestion on this section of US-101 is the Vista Point parking lot that is just North of the Golden Gate Bridge. This parking lot’s entrance is just off of the Northbound side of US-101, and during summer and holiday weekends cars will queue onto the freeway completely stopping the right-most lane. Vista Point presents a complex traffic problem to solve because of the multiple layers of overlapping governmental jurisdictions that actually govern this parking lot. Research for this thesis consists of 16 personal interviews with stakeholders involved in solving this congestion issue, and relevant studies and background information on all the political actors interviewed. This research results in an exploration of how these agencies work together to communally solve a traffic issue, and where disconnects occur during the overall planning process of Vista Point.

Uppsatsens titel: Stockholm – the fashion capital of Scandinavia? En studie i strategiskplanering utifrån detaljhandelns företagsperspektiv, i samverkan med turismsektorn. Kurs: Kandidatuppsats i företagsekonomi, inriktning marknadsföring, 15 hp, StockholmsUniversitet Författare: Linda Holdo, Hanna Jäderholm och Mariah Lindborg Handledare: Doktorand Andrea Lucarelli Nyckelord: Detaljhandeln, turismsektorn, strategisk planering, varumärkesbyggande,destination, detaljhandelsmarknadsföring, Stockholms stad Problemformulering: Handeln vill nyttja den växande turismsektorn för att vinnamarknadsandelar. Problematiken för detaljhandeln är avsaknad av strategisk planering, isamverkan med turismsektorn, som bottnar i bristande kunskap och erfarenhet. Syfte: Syftet är att skapa ett förslag på strategisk planering som detaljhandelsföretagen, i samverkan med turismsektorn, kan använda för att fylla det praktiska gap som i dagsläget existerar. Metod: Studien har genomförts med 12 stycken kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med relevanta personer inom respektive bransch. Deltagande i två seminarier samt granskning av fyra rapporter utgör primärdata. Sekundärdata är baserad på vetenskapliga artiklar samt litteratur. Tolkning av insamlad data har gjorts utefter en hermeneutisk ansats. Teori: Teoridelen utgörs av litteraturgenomgång följt av teoretisk referensram. Litteraturgenomgången presenterar citymarknadsföring utifrån ett destinationsperspektiv. Teoretiska referensramen behandlar huvudämnet strategisk planering med anledning att skapa en tillförlitlig strategisk modell ur ett företagsperspektiv. Därefter redogörs faktorer som ligger till grund för strategisk planering. Därefter redovisas varumärkesbyggande med fokus på image och- identitetsskapande samt skapande av kundvärde ur ett företagsperspektiv. Ämnet fördjupas sedan i detaljhandelns värdekedja, kunddrivet värdesystem, kundlojalitet ochrelationsmarknadsföring samt upplevelser som en betydande faktor för detaljhandeln. Slutsats: Slutsatsen består av en modell för detaljhandelns strategiska planering. Modellen inleds med definiering av målgruppen. Därefter kartläggs turistgruppens behov samt lösning inom respektive kärnaktivitet i företaget. Nyttjande av strategin resulterar i en tillfredsställd kund, vilket kan generera ekonomiska fördelar, public relations samt marknadsandelar. Det krävs att en aktör tar övergripande ansvar för att verkställa den strategiska planeringen och skapa tydlig kommunikation mellan detaljhandelsbranschen och turismsektorn.

Along the client's needs a solution. Use of the strategy result in customer satisfaction, which can generate economic benefits, public relations and market share. It requires that an operator takes an overall responsibility for the execution of the strategic planning and creating clear communication between the retail and tourism sectors.

Hållbar destinationsutveckling ses idag som en viktig motor för regional tillväxt och utveckling. Trots detta råder en osäkerhet om vad det innebär i praktiken och det saknas en tydlig vägledning för hur destinationer kan utvecklas utan bekostnad på samhällsutvecklingen och den befintliga omgivningen. Genom en diskursanalys av material inhämtad via plandokument och en intervju har vi undersökt hållbarhetsaspekter samt drivkrafter och motsättningar i samband med etableringen av semesterresorten Lalandia i Motala kommun. Vi finner att avvägningar mellan ekonomiska, ekologiska och sociala värden görs till förmån för den ekonomiska tillväxt som är en stark drivkraft i etableringen av Lalandia. Studien talar därmed för att tillväxtdiskursen dominerar i projektet, vilket föranletts av kommunens starka ekonomiska intresse i projektet. Resultaten påvisar även att vad som bedöms hållbart respektive ohållbart beror på den enskilda aktörens tolkning av begreppet hållbarhet, vilket bekräftar vad som återfunnits i tidigare forskningsstudier.
Sustainable destination development is regarded as an important engine for regional growth and development. Despite this, there is an uncertainty about what it means in practice and there is no clear guidance to how destinations can be developed without expense at the development of society and the existing environment. Through a discourse analysis of material obtained via planning documents and an interview, we have investigated sustainability aspects as well as the driving forces and contradictions in the establishment of Lalandia, a holiday destination, in Motala municipality. We find that trade-offs between economical, ecological and social values are made in favor of economic growth, which is a strong driving force in the establishment of Lalandia. The study thus indicate that the growth discourse dominates in the project, which is a result of the municipality's strong economic interest in the project.The results also show that what is considered sustainable or unsustainable depends on the individual actor's interpretation of the concept of sustainability, which confirms what has been found in previous research studies.

The presented dissertation thesis deals with a set of problems related to the strategic planning of tourism development in the context of tourism policy. By making full use of the strategic benchmarking method, the thesis tries to make a certain contribution to the improvement of strategic planning in tourism which represents an important factor of tourism destination competitiveness. The objective of the presented dissertation thesis is to postulate and in practice verify a methodology related to strategic benchmarking, aimed at regional tourism development strategies and at selected aspects of the process of their formation. The dissertation thesis postulates a complex procedure thus making it possible to evaluate and compare the tourism developing strategies of the Czech, Slovak and British regions on the basis of stipulated criteria and fuzzy scales. This procedure is implemented into an on-line evaluating application, which can be used by key regional actors for the evaluation of the particular developing strategies. The evaluation results are used for benchmarking gap analysis and for selection of suitable benchmarking partners by means of fuzzy TOPSIS method. Consequently, selected partners are submitted to an external benchmarking investigation focused on methods of how to create strategies, and managerial approaches to planning. The acquired information is used for an identification of good practices for a regional planning of tourism development.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Tourism is emerging as one of the most important socio-economic sectors for developing as well as developed countries. Tourism incorporates features of the information society such as globalisation, mobility, and information reach and richness. A national Tourist Office or as commonly referred to Destination Marketing Organization is the core tourism product of any nation. The new forms of ebusiness are offering major opportunities for all tourism destinations and suppliers, whether large or small, to improve their business and remodel such in a more cost-effective manner. The study discusses the impact and existing relationship between ICT and tourism as an emerging ecommerce sector in the Zambian tourism industry. It focuses on the tremendous changes in consumer expectations for the Zambia tourism sector caused by the impact ofInternet revolution. The World Wide Web through Information and Communication Technology (lCT) is the driving force that is changing the tourism landscape and affecting the production, distribution and consumption of its products. This symbiotic relationship existing between ICT and the tourism sector provides an opportunity for the Zambian tourism industry to create a competitive advantage for the 21st century.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Toerisme kom as een van die belangrikste sosio-ekonomiese sektore in beide ontwikkelende sowel as ontwikkelde lande voor. Kenmerke van die inligtings-gemeenskap soos globalisasie, mobiliteit, inligtings-toegang, -reikafstand en -rykheid word ook in toerisme aangetref. Die kern toerisme-produk van enige nasie is 'n nasionale Toeriste Buro of, soos algemeen verwys word, 'n Bestemming Bemarkings Organisasie (BBO). Toerisme bestemmings en verskaffers, klein of groot, word vele geleenthede aangebied om ten middele van nuwe vorme van e-handel hulle besighede op koste-geskikte manier te verbeter en te hervorm. Die studie bespreek die impak van en die bestaande verwantskap tussen Inligtings en Kommunikasie Teknologie (IKT) en die toerisme-bedryf in die Zambiese toerisme industrie as 'n ontwikkelende e-handel sektor. Daar word hoofsaaklik op die geweldige impak van die Internet-revolusie op verbruikersverwagtinge in die Zambiese toerisme bedryf gefokus. Deur middel van IKT word die Wereld-Wye Web (WWW) die dryfkrag wat die toerisme landskap verander en die produksie, verspreiding en verbruik van sy produkte beïnvloed. Die wedersydse verwantskap tussen IKT en die toerisme sektor verskaf 'n geleentheid vir die Zambiese toerisme industrie om 'n mededingende grondslag vir die 21ste eeu te skep.

Streszczenie:

It has become increasingly common for cities and municipalities to take greater account of the place marketing, and to see the physical location as a brand. An early step in this process is to make the image measurements of the place, in order to develop better marketing strategies. A method often used in tourism research for this type of measurements is Etchner and Ritchie's theoretical framework. The framework is initially designed to measure visitor's image of a tourist destination.

Almost all previous research in this area is based on the visitor's perspective, but Olofsson and Skredsvik have used this framework to measure a location's image among the residents. They feel that the residents of a place can be seen as ambassadors of the place because they know the site well. To be aware about the image among the residents makes it possible to improve the things that the residents are unhappy with, but also enhance the images of the place which is positive.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate whether Etchner and Ritchie's framework can be adapted to measure a location's image among its inhabitants, from the viewpoint of Olofsson and Skredsvik's adaptation of this particular framework. In order to generate data to answer the purpose of this paper, an image study among the residents in Botkyrka was carried out according to the method used by Olofsson and Skredsvik.

In addition to the results from the image study of Botkyrka, the paper has contributed methodological expertise in destination image research. Some of the main conclusions obtained in this paper is that the adaptation of Etchner and Ritchie's framework overall has worked well to measure a location's image among the residents. The original framework is of such a general nature which makes it possible to make adjustments to it, as long as the essential components of the framework remain. Another contribution from this study is that the material collected by this method can be used to statistically test the differences between various groups within the sample.

Det har blivit allt vanligare att städer och kommuner tar större hänsyn till platsmarknadsföring, och att se den fysiska platsen som ett varumärke. Ett tidigt led i denna process är att göra imagemätningar av platsen, för att bättre kunna utforma marknadsföringsstrategier. En metod som ofta används inom turismforskningen för denna typ av mätningar är Etchner och Ritchies teoretiska ramverk. Ramverket är ursprungligen utformat för att mäta besökares bild av en turistdestination.

Nästan all tidigare forskning på detta område utgår från besökarens perspektiv, men Olofsson och Skredsvik har använt detta ramverk för att mäta en plats image bland de boende. De menar att de boende på en plats kan ses som platsens ambassadörer då de känner till platsen väl. Att känna till platsens image bland de boende gör att man kan förbättra saker som de boende är missnöjda med, men även förstärka de bilder av platsen som är positiva.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utvärdera om Etchner och Ritchies ramverk går att anpassa för att mäta en plats image bland dess invånare, vilket gjorts med utgångspunkt från Olofsson och Skredsviks anpassning av detta ramverk. För att generera underlag till att kunna uppnå syftet så har en imagemätning bland de boende i Botkyrka genomförts utifrån den metod som Olofsson och Skredsvik använt i en studie av Vara kommun.

Förutom de resultat som kommit fram om Botkyrka kommuns image så har uppsatsen bidragit med metodologisk kunskap inom destinationsimageforskningen. Några av de viktigaste slutsatserna som framkommer i detta arbete är att anpassningen av Etchner och Ritchies ramverk överlag har fungerat väl för att mäta en plats image bland de boende. Det ursprungliga ramverket är av så pass generell natur vilket gör att det går att göra anpassningar av det, så länge som de väsentligaste komponenterna av ramverket återstår. Ett annat bidrag som studien kommit fram till är att materialet som samlas in med denna metod går att använda för att statistiskt testa skillnader mellan olika grupper inom urvalet.

Streszczenie:

In the era of globalization, countries compete with each other for attention, respect and trust of potential consumers, investors, tourists, media and governments of other nations. Branding is the most powerful tool that a nation can utilize for effective differentiation strategies and for creating competitive advantage over other nations. Unfortunately, not every nations or destination marketers have a broad understanding of the concept of branding and how a country can be successfully branded. Hence, this study has proposed a model that could be used as a valuable guide for country branding. Also the model is recommended for countries struggling with image crisis; on the mission to improve the image internationally. Nigeria is a good example of countries with image crisis; it is one of the most populated countries in the world with a population of about 160 million inhabitants and growth rate of 2.553percent annually. Despite the abundant resources (e.g. coal, petroleum, natural gas etc.) that the nation is endowed with, it is quite disappointing that the population below poverty line is still at the alarming rate of 70percent of the total population. The mismanagement and poor leadership of the nation characterised by corruption, fraud, embezzlement of public fund etc. has culminated into serious image crisis that is slowing down the potential for investment and economic growth. However, there has been series of image rebranding campaigns but no tangible achievement has been recorded. It is quite questionable though, if image rebranding will provide the kind of future that Nigeria envisaged, considering the socio-political situation and the economic imbalance; compounded by the obvious fact that the nation has no known brand. Therefore, this paper argues that there is need to redirect the effort invested on image rebranding to the creation of a unique and competitive brand for the country. It was established from the study that a nation’s brand is capable of improving the reputation of the nation as well as stimulate the expectation of the target audience. However, it was also established from the study that a wrong approach to branding could mislead the target audience and attract negative publicity. Hence, as a contribution of the study to the field of branding, a model was proposed as a functional guide for country branding. Also, considering the abysmal performance of Nigeria’s image in the international community and to strengthen the argument that brand creation is required for the country; an experimental application of the proposed model was conducted using Nigeria as the case country. The first phase of the model suggested a major improvement in the society; this is required to further enhance the strengths of the country and to motivate the much needed community participation and confidence in the brand creation. It is the conclusion of the study that a strong nation brand can offset the image problem if it is built on something concrete, genuine, and uniquely identifiable with the country, capable of connecting to the cognitive psychology of the target audience.

Streszczenie:

Nas últimas décadas, o Turismo consolidou-se como um dos principais sectores económicos à escala mundial, nacional, regional e local, sendo amplamente reconhecido o seu efeito multiplicador, alavancando riqueza no seu próprio sector e no desenvolvimento de outros sectores económicos. No entanto, o desenvolvimento da actividade turística nem sempre acarreta impactes positivos, podendo incompatibilizar-se com os desígnios patentes no conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável. Neste contexto, o paradigma da sustentabilidade aplicada à actividade turística representa actualmente um dos maiores reptos que o sector enfrenta. A presente investigação incide sobre a problemática da sustentabilidade nos destinos turísticos. Desta forma, corporiza o cruzamento dos modelos conceptuais existentes, evidenciando sinergias e boas práticas e, delimita os princípios inerentes a uma gestão integrada dos destinos turísticos com o enunciado dos pressupostos e das vantagens decorrentes. Aplica o modelo conceptual ao caso concreto do destino Alqueva de forma a verificar quais as condições que devem estar reunidas para que esta região se possa afirmar turisticamente num contexto nacional e internacional de concorrência acrescida.
In recent decades, tourism has established itself as one of the leading economic sectors not only at the global scale, but also at national, regional, and local levels, and its multiplying effect is widely recognised, leveraging wealth in its own area of activity and across other economic sectors. However, tourism development does not always entail positive impacts, and it might actually be inconsistent with the principles endorsed by the concept of sustainability. In this context, the paradigm of sustainable development applied to the tourism activity constitutes one of the biggest challenges for the sector. The present research focuses on the issue of sustainability addressed to tourism destinations. Thus, it embodies the intersection between the existing conceptual models, highlighting synergies and best practice, and determines the inherent principles in tourism destinations’ integrated management, by foregrounding assumptions and their resulting benefits. It applies the conceptual model to the Alqueva’s tourism destination so as to understand the essential conditions for this region to become a renowned tourism destination within the scope of the escalating national and international tourism competition.

Streszczenie:

In the 1976, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) compiled their first Handbook of guidelines and methods for evaluating development-level transportation impacts, specifically vehicular impacts (Institute of Transportation Engineers 1976). Decades later, these methods--essentially the same as when they were originally conceived--are used ubiquitously across the US and Canada. Only recently, with the guidelines in its third edition of the ITE's Trip Generation Handbook (Institute of Transportation Engineers 2014) new data and approaches have been adopted--despite substantial evidence that questions the accuracy of older data, automobile bias, and lack of sensitivity to urban contexts. This dissertation contributes to this literature by focusing on the data, methods, and assumptions so commonly included in development- or site-level evaluation of transportation impacts. These methods are omnipresent in development-level review--used in transportation impact analyses or studies (TIAs/TISs) of vehicular or mode-based impacts, vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and estimates of emissions, scaling or scoping development size, and evaluating transportation system development, impact or utility fees or charges. However, few have evaluated the underlying characteristics of these foundational data--with few exceptions--this manuscript takes aim at understanding inherent issues in the collection and application of ITE's data and methods in various urban contexts. This manuscript includes a compiled dissertation, four papers written consecutively. The first, evaluates state-of-the-art methods in Chapter 2--identifying gaps in the literature. Two such gaps are explored in Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. In Chapter 3, a larger implicit assumption present in ITE's methods--that the existing land-use taxonomy is an optimal and accurate way to describe land use and segment data. Results indicate a simplified taxonomy would provide substantial reductions in cost corresponding with a minor loss in the model's explanation of variance. Following, Chapter 4 explores a common assumption that requires ITE's vehicle trips be converted into person trips and applied across contexts. The results point to the need to consider demographics in site-level transportation impact analysis, particularly to estimate overall demand (person trips, transaction activity) at retail and service development. In Chapter 5, the findings from this research and previous studies are extrapolated to evaluate and quantify the potential bias when temporal, special, and social contexts are ignored. The results indicate the compounding overestimation of automobile demand may inflate estimation by more than 100% in contexts where ITE should be applicable (suburban areas with moderate incomes). In the conclusions (Chapter 6), the implications of this work are explored, followed by recommendations for practice and a discussion of the limitations of this research and future work.

Streszczenie:

As pesquisas de origem e destino (Pesquisas O/D) são tradicionalmente realizadas a partir do relato dos participantes de todas as viagens ocorridas nos últimos dias. No entanto, uma série de estudos realizados recentemente aponta que existem equívocos nos relatos dos participantes nas pesquisas O/D tradicionais, principalmente em relação à distância e ao tempo dos percursos relatados. Esses estudos apontam a utilização da tecnologia GPS (Global Positioning System) como uma forma confiável para a obtenção de informações sobre cada etapa de viagem. A tecnologia GPS, apesar de suas limitações, está disponível popularmente nos últimos anos e apresenta resultados significativos de registros em tempo real, inclusive de viagens curtas. Dessa forma, foram levantadas as experiências internacionais de estudos de pesquisas O/D segmentadas por etapa de viagem, utilizando a tecnologia GPS. Com base nisso, foi aplicada uma pesquisa de origem e destino na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre com GPS e com Entrevistas posteriores. Os estudos estrangeiros apontam que essa é a melhor forma para obtenção dos dados e minimização dos erros. Os dados coletados na pesquisa O/D foram tabulados em um banco de dados e as informações registradas foram tratadas em softwares gráficos gratuítos. Sendo assim, foi possível cruzar os dados relatados pelos participantes na entrevista com os dados registrados pelo aparelho GPS. As análises apontam que todos os indivíduos apresentaram discrepâncias no relato da duração e da distância, em comparação aos dados efetivamente registrados. Essas discrepâncias foram tanto positivas quanto negativas. As implicações dessas diferenças entre os dados relatados e registrados no GPS para fins de modelagem foram vistas nos modelos de escolha modal Logit Multinomial elaborados. O modelo elaborado a partir de dados registrados pelo GPS aponta ajustes apropriados e resultado significativo de variáveis. O modelo elaborado com base nos dados relatados não se comporta como o esperado, conforme as hipóteses previamente estabelecidas, e apresenta variáveis não significativas.
Origin and destination surveys are traditionally made from the participants' reports of all trips occurring in the last days, known as Diary Trip. However, a number of recent studies show that there are mistakes in the accounts of participants in traditional origin and destinations surveys, especially in relation to distance and time. These studies point the use of GPS (Global Positioning System) technology as a reliable way to obtain information about each trip leg. GPS technology, despite its limitations, is popularly available in recent years and presents significant results of real-time records, including short trips. Therefore, we surveyed the experiences of international origin and destination studies segmented by leg trip, using GPS technology. Based on this, a origin and destination survey was applied in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre with GPS and Diary Trip. Foreign studies indicate that this is the best way to obtain the data and minimizing errors. The data collected in the origin and destination survey were tabulated in a database and the information recorded was treated in free graphics software. Therefore, it was possible to cross the data reported by the participants in the Diary Trips with the data recorded by the GPS. The analyzes suggest that all subjects had discrepancies in reporting the duration and distance, compared to the data actually reported. These discrepancies have been both positive and negative. The implications of these differences, between reported and recorded on the GPS data, for modeling, can be seeing in the modal choice model Multinomial Logit elaborate. The model developed from data recorded by the GPS indicates appropriate adjustments and significant outcome variables. The model developed based on reported data does not behave as expected, as previously established hypotheses, and presents no significant variables.

Streszczenie:

En stor andel av Sveriges skatteberäknade inkomster genereras av besöksnäringen. Sverige har på grund av denna närings kraftiga ökning skapat en nationell strategi för både staten och näringslivet. Ett av nyckelorden i denna strategi handlar om hållbar destinationsutveckling, vilken ska öka fler av landets destinationers konkurrenskraft på ett hållbart sätt för att tillsammans skapa en starkare konkurrenskraft för Sverige internationellt. Roslagen är en region som består av fyra kommuner, varav tre av dessa kommuner har bildat ett destinationsbolag som heter Visit Roslagen AB. Denna undersökning fokuserar på hur planeringen gällande besöksnäringen sett ut över tid i regionen Roslagen. Den belyser även hur denna planering ser ut idag gällande samarbete och kommunikation mellan den offentliga samt den privata verksamheten. Undersökningen beskriver även hur planeringen kring Roslagens besöksnäring styrs idag av bolaget via avtal med kommunerna, och hur vida denna utveckling anses vara den bästa lösningen för regionen. Slutligen undersöks även hållbarhetsaspekterna av hur destinationen utvecklas och styrs. I denna undersökning används en kvalitativ metod och ett hermeneutiskt synsätt. För att undersöka planeringen av Roslagens besöksnäring användes primär och sekundär data. Denna primära data består av intervjuer med Norrtäljes och Östhammars näringslivschefer vilka under lång tid och fortfarande arbetar med besöksnäringens utveckling samt är med och säkerställer att bolaget Visit Roslagen sköter det som avtalet anger. För att få en bredare bild av Roslagens planering har även Visit Roslagens VD intervjuats. Den sekundära datan består bland annat i en tidigare undersöknings intervju av Visit Roslagens projektansvarige och några tidningsartiklar samt en beskrivning av avtalen mellan Bolaget och kommunerna. För att bilda en förförståelse i ämnet destinationsutveckling har tidigare forskning och facklitteratur använts kring destinationsutveckling, planering och management, intern och extern kommunikation samt identitet och image, slutligen i teoristycket beskrivs effekter och hållbar utveckling av besöksnäringen. Slutsatserna i denna undersökning visar att Roslagen över tid har fått ett stakare samgående mellan det offentliga och privata genom initiativ av den offentliga verksamheten som först var de som stod för planeringen av destinationsutveckling i regionen. Den nationella strategin var betydande i denna utveckling, och skapade motivation till att bilda ett bolag för denna typen av utveckling. Bolaget har ett avtal med varje kommun. Kommunernas avtal liknar varandra och innebär att bolaget ska sköta; -turistutveckling, -turistservice, -marknadsföring och -försäljning. Den påverkan som kommunen har på bolaget är genom avtalen som sedan följs upp av de två kommunernas näringslivsansvariga. Utöver avtalet sköter bolaget all planering kring besöksnäringen själv. Kommunerna anser att denna bolagisering av besöksnäringens planering är bra för att den blir mer långsiktig då inte olika politiska förändringar kan påverka olika utvecklingsbeslut i regionen, utan att det istället finns en långsiktig planering som enligt avtalen ska i samråd mellan besöksnäringen och det offentliga via avtalen mellan kommunerna och bolaget. Slutligen kan Roslagens planering kring destinationsutveckling anses som hållbar då det finns en planering och ett ökande samspel mellan de offentliga och privata aktörerna på destinationen. Med denna planering ökar sannolikheten att sociala och miljömässig hållbarhet skyddas då dessa faktorer är det besöksnäringen tjänar pengar på.
A large proportion of Sweden's tax estimated revenue generated by the tourism industry. Sweden is due to this nutritional sharp increase created a national strategy for both government and business. One of the key words in this strategy is on sustainable destination development, which will increase more of the country's destinations' competitiveness in a sustainable way in order to create a stronger competitiveness in Sweden and internationally. Roslagen is a region that consists of four municipalities, three of these municipalities have formed a company called Destination Visit Roslagen AB. This study focuses on the planning regarding the hospitality industry seen over time in the region Roslagen. It also illustrates how this design looks today regarding cooperation and communication between the public and the private business. The study also describes how the planning around Roslagens tourism industry is controlled today by the company through agreements with municipalities, and how far this development is considered to be the best solution for the region. Finally also examines sustainability aspects of the destination developed and controlled. This study used a qualitative approach and a hermeneutic approach. To examine the planning of Roslagens tourism used primary and secondary data. The primary data consists of interviews with Norrtälje and Östhammar business leaders who for a long time and still work with the tourism industry development, and is with and ensures that the company Visit Roslagen care what the contract states. To get a broader picture of Roslagens planning also Visit Roslagens CEO interviewed. The secondary data consists, among other things, in a previous interview survey by Visit Roslagens project manager and some newspaper articles and a description of the agreements between the Company and the municipalities. To form an understanding of the topic destination development has previous research and literature used on destination development, planning and management, internal and external communications as well as identity and image, finally, in theory, paragraph describes the effects and sustainable development of the tourism industry. The findings in this study show that Roslagen over time have received a stakare merger between the public and private initiatives of public affairs who first were those who stood for the planning of destination development in the region. The national strategy was significant in this development, and created the motivation to form a company for this type of development. The Company has an agreement with each municipality. Local government agreements are similar and means that the company will manage; -turistutveckling, -turistservice, -Marketing and sales. The influence of the municipality of the company is through the agreements which are then followed up by the two local business managers. In addition to the agreement the company manages all planning on the tourism industry itself. Local authorities believe that this incorporation of the tourism industry planning is good for it to be more long-term when not various policy changes could affect various development decisions in the region, but that it instead is a lngsiktig planning under the agreements should be made in consultation between the tourism industry and the public through Agreements between local authorities and the company. Finally, Roslagens planning on destination development considered sustainable when there is a planning and an increasing interaction between public and private actors on the destination. With this planning increases the likelihood that social and environmental sustainability are protected when these factors are the hospitality industry makes money.

Streszczenie:

Vi ses fram på torget är en uppsats som berör attraktiva mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet. Den postmoderna människan söker återigen kontakt med andra i det offentliga rummet men saknar möjligheten att interagera. Till stor del fokuserar därför uppsatsen på social interaktion mellan invånarna och hur den kan underlättas på offentliga mötesplatser. I teorin finns användbara begrepp, vägledning och idéer för hur attraktiviteten ökar. Här behandlas även hur offentliga mötesplatser påverkar den enskilda invånaren och kommunen. Mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet kan ge invånarna välmående, hälsa och tillfredsställelse. Genom exempelvis engagemang och kvalitet knyts ett band mellan människan och kommunen. Om invånaren känner tillhörighet och lojalitet på platsen förstärks dess identitet. Kommunen kan därmed öka i konkurrensfördelar och värde för turister och invånare.Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta fram en ny modell som kan ligga till grund för utvecklingen av mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet. Modellen utgår från teorier och existerande modeller inom event, marknadsföring och stadsutveckling. Modellen Att skapa attraktiva mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet tas fram, prövas och utvecklas i uppsatsen. Det här är en fallstudie applicerad på torget i Lidköping. I empirin får fokusgrupper, bestående av kommunens invånare, diskutera kring attraktiva mötesplatser, interaktion och Lidköpings torg. De uppskattar trygga och levande platser med möjlighet för aktivitet, interaktion och avkoppling. Attribut som sittplatser, naturliga element och event efterfrågas av fokusgrupperna.I uppsatsen framgår att modellen Att skapa attraktiva mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet är användbar vid utvecklingen av mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet. Utifrån genomförd studie kan hela modellen fyllas i med invånarnas åsikter och förslag. Därigenom är modellen ett användbart verktyg som kan utvecklas och användas i nutida och framtida forskning. En större empirisk undersökning bland invånarna i Lidköping är att rekommendera för att kunna generalisera det resultat studien presenterar på populationen. Uppsatsen presenterar hypotetiska förslag på hur en attraktiv mötesplats kan utformas på torget i Lidköping. Modellen är även tillämpningsbar på andra platser. Forskningsområdet är nu påbörjat och öppnar upp för vidare arbete med Lidköpings kommun.
Vi ses fram på torget (Local expression of Lidköping for ‘meet you at the square’) is a thesis about attractive meeting places in public spaces. The post-modern person is once again searching to connect with others in public spaces but is lacking interaction opportunities. Therefore this thesis is largely focusing on social interaction between town inhabitants and how to favour it in public meeting places. In theory there are concepts, guidance and ideas on how to increase the attractiveness and effectiveness. It also covers how public meeting places effect the individual inhabitant and the municipality at large. Meeting places within public spaces have the possibility to give its inhabitants increased well-being, health and satisfaction. Through, for example; involvement, quality and safety strings are attached between a human and the municipality. If the inhabitant is experiencing affiliation and loyalty to the place itself it enhances its identity and strengthens mutually beneficial interaction. The municipality could consequently increase its competitive advantage and value for tourists and it’s own inhabitants.The purpose of the thesis is to create a new model that can form the basis for developing meeting places in existing public spaces. The model is based on previously un-tested theories and existing models of events, marketing and urban development. The model Att skapa attraktiva mötesplatser i det offentliga rummet (To create attractive meeting places in public spaces) is designed, tested, developed and expanded in the thesis. This is a case study applied to the Lidköping square. In the observed focus groups, consisting of inhabitants of Lidköping municipality, discussion focused on attractive meeting places, social interaction, and the Lidköping square itself. A set of empirical findings to use as a study base was the object of the exercise. It was generally found that people appreciate places that are safe and alive with possibilities for activities, interaction and relaxation. Attributes such as seating areas, nature elements and events are requested by the focus groups.This thesis argues that To create attractive meeting places within existing public spaces is a useful development tool and enables productive meeting places within public spaces. Based on the performed study the model is successfully filled in with the inhabitants opinions and suggestions. With some modification and further empirical study the model will be a useful tool that can be developed and used in current and future research. The thesis presents hypothetical suggestions on how to actually create an attractive meeting point at the Lidköping square. The model is also applicable to other places. This field of research is now started and opens up for further work involving the Lidköping municipality.

Retirement age migration is not new. However, it has recently been garnering the attention of both researchers and local policy makers. Older migrants present the possibility of economic stimulus without creating additional pressure on the labor market. That said, a majority of works on retirement migration come to the same conclusions. Conventional theories state that older people move to places based on natural amenities and recreation opportunities. Further, these findings are often utilize a binary dependent variable based on whether a county has achieved a certain level of growth from inmigration of all people age 60+. I argue that this view is too narrow. Older age migrants move for a variety of reasons. These motives also vary across different age, sex, and race-ethnicity characteristics of the migrants in question. Further, not all counties that attract older migrants have bountiful natural or recreation amenities. Not only have these unconventional retirement destinations (URDs) had different historical trajectories, they also possess a different kind of amenities that appeal to older people who have relocated to the area. Finally, a focus on binary retirement classifications misses both diversity in retirement patterns and fails to explicitly account for the influence of space in county desirability. The goal of this work is to address these issues. First, I discuss the history and theories of retirement migration. Second, I develop models accounting for variation across older age migrant groups with varying demographic characteristics. Third, I identify and describe URD counties. Fourth, I present the results of a small-scale survey, community leader interviews, and a new model with additional variables to get at what other kinds of things should be labeled as “amenities.” Finally, I examine the role of space in migration research. My analysis demonstrates that there is much to be learned from looking at spatial models, micro-regional effects, and relative advantage between neighboring counties. Results indicate that conventional theories of retirement migration, while not necessarily wrong, are at least incomplete. The addition of diversity, new amenities, and space may greatly enhance our understanding of older age migration and migration research as a whole.

Streszczenie:

The purpose of this research is to develop and test a widely available, ready-to-use method for adjusting the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Handbook vehicle trip generation estimates for urban context using regional household travel survey data. The ITE Handbook has become the predominant method for estimating vehicle trips generated by different land uses or establishment, providing a method for data collection and vehicle trip estimation based on the size of the development (e.g. gross square footage, number of employees, number of dwelling units). These estimates are used in traffic impact analysis to assess the amount of impact the development will have on nearby transportation facilities and, the corresponding charges for mitigating the development's negative impacts, with roadway expansions, added turning bays, additional parking or traffic signalization, for example. The Handbook is often criticized, however, for its inability to account for variations in travel modes across urban contexts. For more than fifty years, ITE has collected suburban, vehicle-oriented data on trip generation for automobiles only. Despite the provision of warnings against application in urban areas, local governments continue to require the use of the ITE Handbook across all area-types. By over predicting vehicle traffic to developments in urban developments, developments may be overcharged to mitigate these developments locating in urban environments despite the lower automobile mode shares, discouraging infill development or densification. When ITE's Trip Generation Handbook overestimates the vehicle impact of a development, facilities are also overbuilt for the automobile traffic and diminishing the use of alternative modes. When ITE's TGH underestimates this impact, adjacent facilities may become oversaturated with traffic, pushing cars onto smaller facilities nearby. Currently, there is momentum amongst practitioners to improve these estimation techniques in urban contexts to help support smart growth and better plan for multiple modes. This research developed and tested a method to adjust ITE's Handbook vehicle trip generation estimates for changes in transportation mode shares in more urban contexts using information from household travel surveys. Mode share adjustments provide direct reductions to ITE's Handbook vehicle trip estimations. Household travel survey (HTS) data from three regions were collected: Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; and Baltimore, Maryland. These data were used to estimate the automobile mode share rates across urban context using three different adjustment methodologies: (A) a descriptive table of mode shares across activity density ranges, (B) a binary logistic regression that includes a built environment description of urban context with the best predictive power, and (C) a binary logistic regression that includes a built environment description of urban context with high predictive power and land use policy-sensitivity. Each of these three methods for estimating the automobile mode share across urban context were estimated for each of nine land use categories, resulting in nine descriptive tables (Adjustment A) and eighteen regressions (Adjustments B and C). Additionally, a linear regression was estimated to predict vehicle occupancy rates across urban contexts for each of nine land use categories. 195 independently collected establishment-level vehicle trip generation data were collected in accordance with the ITE Handbook to validate and compare the performance of the three adjustment methods and estimations from the Handbook. Six land use categories (out of the nine estimated) were able to be tested. Out of all of the land uses tested and verified, ITE's Trip Generation Handbook appeared to have more accurate estimations for land uses that included residential condominiums/townhouses (LUC 230), supermarkets (LUC 850) and quality (sit-down) restaurants (LUC 931). Moderate or small improvements were observed when applying urban context adjustments to mid-rise apartments (LUC 223), high-turnover (sit-down) restaurants (LUC 932). The most substantial improvements occurred at high-rise apartments (LUC 222) and condominiums/townhouses (LUC 232), shopping centers (LUC 820), or coffee/donut (LUC 936) or bread/donut/bagel shops (LUC 939) without drive-through windows. The three methods proposed to estimate automobile mode share provides improvements to the Handbook rates for most infill developments in urban environments. For the land uses analyzed, it appeared a descriptive table of mode shares across activity density provided results with comparable improvements to the results from the more sophisticated binary logistic model estimations. Additional independently collected establishment-level data collections representing more land uses, time periods and time of days are necessary to determine how ITE's Handbook performs in other circumstances, including assessing the transferability of the vehicle trip end rates or mode share reductions across regions.

Non-work destinations refer to the locational choices of people regarding where they go for non-work activity. My exploration focuses on the daily trips with a primary purpose of shopping, entertainment, dining and refreshment in Singapore. The uniqueness of non-work trips, compared with home-to-work commuting trips, is that we do not observe the spatial tractability of the alternatives (home and work locations are known). Travelers have flexibility in location and schedule for non-work destination choices, and such selections repeat day after day. The flexibility to choose a non-work destination turns the modeling and forecasting of these trips into a complex task because a combination of factors, including the location of the supply of non-work activities, the activity pattern of the traveler, and the cost of traveling, affects the selection of non-work destination alternatives. This thesis utilizes a spatial-temporal scanning tool on cellphone-locational data to improve the spatial representation of places with high concentration of human activity, and use these places as a proxy of non-work destinations. Then, a clustering algorithm characterizes the spaces at the interior of those previously identified places by the geometry, diversity and density of the commercial establishments that they contain. Finally, the results of two statistical models that estimate housing price and destination choice indicate that the characterization of places capture additional information, which are useful in identifying the characteristics of neighborhoods (or space) and representing the destination alternatives of non-work activity. The model of destination choice shows the potential of the method to construct richer spatial nested structures of destination choice to what is currently in the literature. The main contribution of this thesis is the systematic development of measures that are useful to urban planners in characterizing places. These measures can help us to improve our understanding of non-work destination travel behavior. Another finding is that the spatial organization of the offer of non-work activities in Singapore is reminiscent of Central Place Theory. The spatial structure of non-work activities is highly monocentric, supplemented by additional facilities spread across clearly defined satellite suburban places. Three places in Singapore emerge as the top non-work destinations: Bugis, Orchard Road and Downtown. The distinctive attribute of these three places is that they comprise a diverse and dense number of patches or sub-spaces catering to various audiences.

Streszczenie:

This study contributes to the literature on national long-distance travel demand modeling by providing an analysis of households' annual destination choices and time allocation patterns for long-distance leisure travel purposes. An annual vacation destination choice and time allocation model is formulated to simultaneously predict the different destinations that a household visits and the time it spends on each of these visited destinations, in a year. The model takes the form of a Multiple Discrete-Continuous Extreme Value (MDCEV) structure (Bhat, 2005; Bhat, 2008). The model assumes that households allocate their annual vacation time to visit one or more destinations in a year to maximize the utility derived from their choices. The model framework accommodates variety-seeking in households' vacation destination choices in that households can potentially visit a variety of destinations rather than spending all of their annual vacation time for visiting a single destination. At the same time, the model accommodates corner solutions to recognize that households may not necessarily visit all available destinations. An annual vacation time budget is also considered to recognize that households may operate under time budget constraints. Further, the paper proposes a variant of the MDCEV model that avoids the prediction of unrealistically small amounts of time allocation to the chosen alternatives. To do so, the continuously non-linear utility functional form in the MDCEV framework is replaced with a combination of a linear and non-linear form. The empirical data for this analysis comes from the 1995 American Travel Survey Data, with the U.S. divided into 210 alternative destinations. The empirical analysis provides important insights into the determinants of households' leisure destination choice and time allocation patterns. An appealing feature of the proposed model is its applicability in a national, long-distance leisure travel demand model system. The annual destination choices and time allocations predicted by this model can be used for subsequent analysis of the number of trips made (in a year) to each destination and the travel choices for each trip. The outputs from such a national travel modeling framework can be used to obtain national-level Origin-Destination demand tables for long-distance leisure travel.

The study focus on the analysis of travel behavior from the perspective of gender. The literature review explores the concepts of gender, mobility and acessibility, searching for results in the intersection of these concepts. The study uses data from the Origin- Destination surveys for the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo, conducted in 1997, 1987, 1997 and 2007. Longitudinal analyses using different approaches explore the hypothesis that there are systematic differences in travel and activity patterns between genders. A unified database was constructed, allowing the longitudinal analysis of descriptive statistics, to perform cluster analysis and to estimate logistic regressions. The results allowed the identification of groups of similar behavior, to look at their composition and to select relevant dependent and explanatory variables for disaggregate modelling of travel demand. Groups resulting from cluster analysis have coincided with each of the four data collection periods, confirming the need to conduct longitudinal analyses. To better represent the concept of gender, a combination of the variables sex and position in family structure were used to define segments for analysis with quasi-poisson regression, using variables selected from previous stages of analysis. The results indicate significant differences in the daily number of trips between men and women, conditioned by their family roles. The understanding of these differences can improve transportation planning and policy making.

I denna studie beskriver jag problemet hur planering och zonering av destinationer för friluftsliv och ekoturism kan göras. Genom att utveckla och analysera teori och resultat abduktivt har analys och slutsats utvecklats med Kristianstad Vattenrike som utvalt studerat område. Kristianstad Vattenrike är ett av Sveriges fem biosfärområden och sträcker sig nästan över hela Kristianstad kommun med en mångfald av olika naturtyper. Som utnämnt biosfärområde ska man bidra till hållbar utveckling och utveckla området utefter ledorden bevara, utveckla och stödja och planera området i kärnområden, buffertzoner och utvecklingsområden. För att uppnå studiens syfte att abduktivt visa i teoretisk och analytisk växelverkan hur man kan planera och zonera en destination för friluftsliv och ekoturism så har jag valt att beskriva hur planering av friluftsliv kan göras, om zonering, om planering för ekoturism och rural turismutveckling. Dessa har utvecklats abduktivt med utvald kvalitativ metod för analys av en destination, Kristianstad Vattenrike, och hur det planeras i praktiken för eventuell zonering av friluftsliv och ekoturism enligt tre intervjuer och skriftliga källor om Kristianstad Vattenrike. I studiens resultat och analys analyseras tre frågeställningar för syftet: 1) Vilka förutsättningar för friluftsupplevelser och ekoturism erbjuder natur, landskap samt infrastruktur i Kristianstad Vattenrike?, 2) Hur planeras det för friluftsliv och ekoturism i Kristianstad Vattenrike? och 3) Varför ska zonering användas som medel för att planera hållbara destinationer för friluftsliv och ekoturism? Här beskrivs vilket brett utbud av naturtyper som erbjuds i ett friluftsliv som hela tiden utvecklas med behov och efterfrågan på området, men också med produktutveckling. Det beskrivs att de använt bl a plan för att utveckla badplatser inom Kristianstad Vattenrike som kan utvecklas generellt för friluftslivet. För ekoturism görs vissa näringslivssatsningar men inget som direkt lyckas inspirera till ett hållbart ansvarstagande för företag, men ett par uthålliga entreprenörer har lyckats med utveckling av säsonger för upplevelse av Vattenriket över året. Zonering som medel för planering av friluftsliv och ekoturism beskrivs och klargörs att det är en eftersatt modell i Sverige för planering av friluftsliv och ekoturism och även så i Kristianstad Vattenrike. Efter granskade resultat och analyser så dras slutsatser med studien att zonering behöver en svensk uttalad definition för att lättare kommuniceras och förstås för implementering som destinationer som Kristianstad Vattenrike skulle dra fördel av vid planering och zonering för friluftsliv och ekoturism.

Streszczenie:

Architecture forms an inherent part of urban tourism. Nevertheless, so far little research has been carried out regarding the interdependencies between urban tourism and architecture in general, as well as contemporary architecture in particular. Furthermore, there is a lack of literature regarding the reasons for contemporary architecture attracting tourism. Therefore, the present thesis is based on two principle research questions: 1. What is the role of contemporary architecture in urban tourism destinations? 2. Why is contemporary architecture attracting tourism? Taking a twofold approach, the theoretical part of the thesis was based on a comprehensive literature review – including a wide variety of related disciplines – and dedicated to the first principle research question. Thus, by means of a contextual view, it was demonstrated that contemporary architecture can play a multitude of important roles in urban tourism, and contribute to the image of an urban destination. Devoted to the second principle research question, the empirical part of the thesis was built on exploratory case study research at the locations of Berlin and Beijing. First, by means of content analysis of travel guidebooks, for both case study locations a sample of contemporary architecture with significance for tourism has been identified. And secondly, for each of the samples’ units of analysis, a specific level of touristic significance, related to different roles (or types) of tourists, has been measured. Furthermore, specific features and characteristics, distinguishing the selected architectures, have been observed and allocated. Using univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis techniques, during the ensuing data evaluation, those features and combinations of features with an influence on the touristic significance of contemporary architecture have been identified. As a result, around 50% of the analysed relations showed significant signs of dependency. Important modalities for the touristic significance of contemporary architecture turned out to be, for instance, having a touristic function, being accessible for visitors, being of large size and showing predominance towards the surrounding built environment. However, depending on the evaluated roles of tourists, the results differed.
L’arquitectura forma una part inherent del turisme urbà. Malgrat aquest fet, fins ara han estat molt poques les recerques portades a terme que facin referència a la interdependència entre el turisme urbà i l’arquitectura en general; així com de l’arquitectura contemporània en particular. Cal constatar també la manca de literatura pel que fa a les raons per les quals l’arquitectura contemporània atrau al turisme. Tenint en compte tot el anteriorment mencionat, la següent tesis es basa en la recerca de dues preguntes principals: 1. Quin és el paper de l’arquitectura contemporània en les destinacions de turisme urbà? 2. Què és el què fa que l’arquitectura contemporània atragui al turisme? Tenint en compte aquesta doble aproximació, la part teòrica de la tesis fou basada en una exhaustiva ressenya (incloent una àmplia varietat de disciplines relacionades) i dedicada a la pregunta principal de la recerca. D’aquesta manera, partint d’una visió contextual, s’ha demostrat que l’arquitectura contemporània pot jugar múltiples i importants papers dins el turisme urbà, així com contribuir a la imatge d’una destinació turística urbana. Lleial al segon principi de la pregunta de la recerca, la part empírica de la tesis fou construïda en l’exploració d’un cas d’estudi de recerca en els emplaçaments de Berlín i Pekín. Primerament, i mitjançant l’anàlisi del contingut de guies de viatges, en l’estudi d’ambdues localitzacions s’ha identificat una mostra d’arquitectura contemporània amb significança pel turisme. En segon lloc, i per cadascuna de les mostres de les unitats d’anàlisi, s’ha mesurat un nivell de significança turística específic que es relaciona amb els diferents papers (tipus) de turisme. També s’han observat trets i característiques específiques que es poden distingir entre les diferents tipologies de turisme observades i establertes Emprant tècniques d’anàlisis d’una, dues i múltiples variables, al llarg de la avaluació resultant de la informació, s’han identificat aquells trets i combinacions de trets amb una influència en la importància del turisme en l’arquitectura contemporània. Com a resultat, al voltant del 50% de les relacions analitzades mostraren indicis de dependència significatius. Modalitats importants per a la significança turística de l’arquitectura contemporània foren per exemple tenir una funció turística, ser accessible als visitants, ser de grans mides i mostrar predominança respecte a l’entorn construït. Malgrat tot, i depenent de l’avaluació dels diferents models de turisme, els resultats difereixen.

This thesis depicts the cultural transformation of Australia’s Gold Coast over the last decade. Informed by my own professional experience in the arts community, I present qualitative research conducted with artists, youth, cultural policymakers and industry leaders from 2010-2011 at a time when the city was on the cusp of cultural change. This is accompanied by my own autoethnographic observations and reflections since the data was collected, affording me a wide lens through which to contextualise the study. Drawing on the voices of artists and cultural practitioners, I describe how the discourse of paradise— ‘sun, sand, surf and sex’—positioned the Gold Coast as a ‘cultural desert’ in the Australian imaginary. More broadly, I discuss the spatial politics of paradise within the context of global place competition, hyperneoliberal development and urban cultural policy. I draw on the concept of the cultural cringe to illustrate how artists and cultural practitioners worked to resist and dismantle the paradise apparatus with the aim of realigning the Gold Coast’s cultural landscape. By adopting entanglement theory and transdisciplinarity alongside an historical approach to conversation, this thesis documents the emergence of a cultural voice. At a point in time when the cultural cringe was endemic and cultural governance was limited, this thesis shows how artists and cultural practitioners were at the forefront of advocating for better cultural policy and infrastructure. In doing so, it highlights the cultural politics of paradise across four milieus: community, youth, industry and policy. In my own observations, I reflect on the erosion of the cultural cringe as the city embraces arts and culture in an attempt to reposition itself as a cultural oasis. The findings have wide-ranging implications for cultural policy and planning on the Gold Coast as well as other paradise destinations more globally.

Streszczenie:

Humans are inherently drawn to places of naural scenic beauty. Alone in Australia's national parks; the demand on these locations is increasing because of increased population plus increasing regional domestic travel. It is important to understand how tourists are utilising nature-based tourism resources to ensure that tourist attractions, facilities and services provided in parks are not exposed to loss events. Environmental and human losses, when combined with their likelihood of occurrence, will constitute risk. Heavy use of popular sites in particular times of the year, beyond the carrying capacity, may result in an irreparable environmental loss. Besides, human risks in terms of becoming lost in the wilderness or falling down from the cliff are significant factors that park managers are considering. It is becoming utmost important to investigate how these visitors are interacting with the natural environment, in what ways at highly vunerable sites. Park managers are now required to understand the needs, demands, preferences and motivation of visitors to vist the parks. A proactive planning to manage potential risk particularly in relatively more fragile and vulnerable environments is needed. This thesis documents a study of visitors to Loch Ard Gorge Site within the Port Campbell National Park, Victoria. Visitors were monitored for their spatial behaviour using the GPS receivers. Visitor's attitude, interests, opinions and motives to travel to the study location is surveyed using onsite self-administrated questionnaire. Total 102 individuals were surveyed to determine their preferences and to obtain their socio-demographical profiles.These were latter coupled with their GPS track movements in order to derive their elicited spatial behaviour. It is well-established fact that visitors' attitude, preferences, and socio-demographical profiles are important factors to identify risk taking spatial behaviour. Hence, this research underpins the exhibited spatial behaviour of tourist to deliver their associated spatial behavioural risk typologies. Statistical classifications of visitors, based on survey responses were categorised using K-means Cluster Analysis. As a result, six different tourist types were obtained. They are; Mid-Allocentics possibly Risk Takers. Allocentrics and confirmed Risk Takers. Mid-Psychocentrics and Risk Averters. Allocentrics and Dependent Risk Takers. Psychocentrics and confirming Risk Averters. Psychocentrics and Risk Averters Mass Tourists. The mean values of all clusters (cluster centroids) are interpreted to understand tourist's risk taking and/or risk averting preferences. Visitors' actual spatial behavioural were spatially analysed using movement pattern maps. The typologies subsequently were verified using Discriminant Function Analysis and in this process tests of equality of group means (Significance of F-test), ANOVA classification are discussed. The final part of Discriminant Function Analysis is to determine the linear regression equations for prediction of group membership of data points in future using classification Function Matrix (Fisher's Linear Disceriminant Function). The developed tourist typologies may help park managers to regulate and mitigate human risk prior to its occurrence by understanding the visitors personality and preferences and their risk taking probabilities.

Streszczenie:

During the past three decades, research in travel behavior has generally proceeded from broad-level, aggregate analysis of mode share--the proportions of walking, bicycling, transit, and vehicle travel occurring in traffic analysis zones, census tracts, neighborhood, or other geographical units--to fine-grained, disaggregate analysis of mode choices and other trip-making attributes at the individual level. One potential issue is whether there are differences in the types of conclusions drawn from results of analyses performed at these different levels, as these results directly inform transportation planning and policy. This thesis aims in part to confirm whether the types of conclusions drawn from different levels of analysis are different, and to what extent. We also examine the relationships between the built environment and non-work travel choices from a unique analysis perspective. To do this, we use data from a 2011 travel intercept survey in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan region that was administered at convenience store, bar, and restaurant establishments. We estimate, for each of the travel modes--walk, bicycle, and automobile--two analysis models: one binary logistic regression model for mode choice of the individual traveler going to the establishment and one multiple linear regression model for mode share of shoppers at the establishment. Both models control for socio-demographics, trip characteristics, and built environment measures of travelers. For the binary logistic regression models, the data are disaggregate and particular to the individual traveler. These models also controlled for attitudes and preference towards travel modes. For the multiple regression models, data are aggregated to the establishment. The built environment data in each model represent characteristics of urban form surrounding the establishment. The data being oriented to the destination-end of the trip, as well as providing controls on land use make this analysis unique in the literature, as most non-work travel studies use residential-based data. Results suggest that analyses performed at the two different levels provide policy-relevant but somewhat different conclusions. In general, characteristics of the individual and the trip have stronger associations with mode choices of individuals than when aggregated to the establishment and analyzed against the mode share patterns of shoppers. Instead, mode shares have stronger relationships with characteristics of the built environment. The built environment surrounding the destination has a much more pronounced association with mode shares at the establishment than with mode choices of individuals. The results highlight the usefulness of simple aggregate analysis, when appropriate. We also find large differences between modes in which characteristics are important for mode choice and mode share. Walking and automobile models behave somewhat similarly but in opposite directions, while bicycling behaves quite differently. These differences suggest on their own a move away from non-motorized travel to be considered as equivalent or assessed as one item in research and in practice.

O turismo tornou-se ao longo das últimas décadas um dos maiores setores económicos no mundo, apresentando um crescimento rápido e sustentado, sendo como tal considerado um importante meio para o desenvolvimento, prosperidade e bem-estar socioeconómico dos concelhos, regiões e países. Apesar dos benefícios associados, o desenvolvimento desregulado e descoordenado do turismo pode conduzir a um conjunto de riscos e impactos negativos na sociedade e nos recursos. O planeamento estratégico dos destinos turísticos surge assim um processo fulcral para o desenvolvimento equilibrado do turismo, tendo por objetivo o estabelecimento de uma estratégia a longo prazo, a promoção da melhoria do desempenho e o aumento da competitividade da atividade turística, numa lógica sustentável. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho de projeto procura fazer um estudo aprofundado do sistema turístico do concelho de Tomar, incidindo particularmente nos processos de planeamento e gestão do destino, identificando falhas e respetivas causas, bem como oportunidades a explorar, objetivando-se o desenvolvimento e otimização da atividade turística. Nesta investigação desenvolve-se um suporte teórico assente nas atuais abordagens de referência sobre planeamento e gestão de destinos turísticos. A avaliação do destino é suportada pela pesquisa efetuada, que consiste no levantamento, diagnóstico e análise do sistema turístico do concelho e dos seus recursos. O inventário de recursos turísticos concebido e respetiva classificação conduz à determinação do nível do aproveitamento e potencial dos recursos. Partindo desta avaliação, complementada por análise estatística, análise de entrevistas a stakeholders locais e inquéritos a visitantes, tendo sido recolhidas 310 respostas, é feita a análise estratégica dos produtos turísticos. Neste sentido, é desenvolvida a matriz de análise SWOT do concelho de Tomar enquanto destino turístico, que serve de base ao estabelecimento da visão, estratégia e objetivos para a atividade, culminando num conjunto de medidas, ações e orientações para o desenvolvimento turístico no concelho, segundo os eixos identificados como mais relevantes.
Over the last decades, tourism has become one of the largest economic sectors worldwide, with a rapid and sustained growth, being considered an important vehicle for the development, prosperity and socioeconomic well-being of municipalities, regions and countries. Despite the associated benefits, the unregulated and uncoordinated development of tourism can lead to a set of risks and negative impacts on society and resources. Therefore, the strategic planning of tourist destinations is presented as a key process for the balanced development of tourism, aiming to establish a long-term strategy, promoting the tourist activity enhancement of performance and competitiveness, complying with the sustainable development principles. In this sense, this work pretends to conduct a thorough examination of the tourism system established in the municipality of Tomar, focusing particularly on the planning and management, identifying failures and their causes, as well as opportunities to exploit, with the objective of developing and optimising the activity. This research develops a theoretical support based on the current approaches of reference to the tourist destinations planning and management. The destination evaluation is supported by the research, which consists in the survey, diagnosis and analysis of the municipality's tourism system and its resources. The inventory of tourism resources and classification leads to the establishment of the resources levels of utilization and potential. Based on this evaluation, complemented by statistical analysis, analysis of interviews with local stakeholders and visitor surveys, with 310 collected responses, the strategic analysis of the tourism products is carried out. In this regard, the SWOT analysis of the tourism system is developed, which is the basis for establishing the vision, strategy and objectives of the activity, resulting in a set of measures, actions and guidelines for the municipality tourism development, according to the defined priority axes.

Nesta pesquisa, discutem-se, à luz da teoria de Butler dedicada ao ciclo de vida da destinação turística, as particularidades que tornam a experiência de visitação da Vila de Alter do Chão, distrito de Santarém e pertencente ao Pólo turístico do Tapajós, situado a oeste do Estado do Pará. Com base numa abordagem teórico-empírica, constata-se que houve, naquele distrito, um percurso cíclico, com a transformação gradual de um pequeno vilarejo de pescadores e artesãos em um destino integralmente turístico. Como processo metodológico para a realização desta investigação fez-se uso de um vasto exame da literatura especializada, referente ao modelo de ciclo de vida da destinação. No intuito de ampliar o raio de ação da base teórica aqui visitada e atestar in loco os detalhes que fizeram de Alter do Chão uma referência no cenário turístico regional e nacional realizou-se entrevistas com quatro segmentos sociais do destino (Comunidade, Sociedade civil organizada, Poder Público e Iniciativa privada), complementadas por pesquisa documental. Dentre os itens analisados, observou-se a existência do atrativo em fase de exploração e envolvimento, porém, sem o aporte de infra-estrutura adequada e com deficiências de gestão turística pública e privada. Daí a necessidade de um planejamento voltado à sustentabilidade do turismo em Alter do Chão - PA.
It has been discussed on this research based on Butlers Theory of the life cycle of a tourist destination, particular features associated with the experience of visiting the village of Alter do Chão, Santarém district, belonging to Tapajós Tour Pole, located on the western portion of Pará State. Based on a theoretical and empirical approach, it can be stated that there is a cyclical path in that district with a gradual change from a small fishermen and craftsmen village into a tourist destination. Method involved a broad literature review about the model life cycle of a destination, acquisition of secondary data from official documents and primary data collect through field interviews conducted with representatives of four social segments of the destination (community, organized civil society, Government and private sector). Results show that this tourist destination is positioned exploration and involvement phase. They also show that there is no appropriate infrastructure investment, and, the private and public tourism management bodies are still deficient. Therefore, there is a needs for better planning that should focus on the sustainability of the tourism in Alter do Chão - PA.

Streszczenie:

L'aportació principal d'aquesta tesi és l'anàlisi de la gestió turística i les estratègies que els municipis del litoral català han desenvolupat per fer front a la crisi (o a la sensació de crisi) del model turístic tradicional que es va manifestar a principis dels anys noranta del segle passat. També proposa una nova visió de l'estructura territorial del litoral i aporta noves dades sobre l'evolució de l'oferta d'allotjament turístic a nivell municipal de tota la costa mediterrània espanyola entre els anys 1981 i 2001.
El cos de la tesi s'estructura en tres parts: un marc teòric on es fa una anàlisi sistemàtica de les principals interpretacions sobre l'evolució de les destinacions madures, un capítol dedicat al models territorials litorals que, a més de l'anàlisi estadística descriptiva de les dades fa una anàlisi de conglomerats jeràrquics per definir els clusters territorials turístics, i finalment, una classificació de les estratègies que han desenvolupat els municipis litorals per adaptar-se a les noves formes de la demanda turística.
Per a aquest darrer capítol s'ha entrevistat a 150 persones relacionades amb la gestió turística local i territorial dels municipis litorals catalans, a més d'estudiar els plans urbanístics i els documents d'estratègia turística. Això ha permès constatar que és principalment de l'àmbit local d'on parteixen les estratègies per adaptar-se a les noves formes de la demanda, i que aquestes respostes són diverses per què depenen del context (l'habitus habermasià) de cada municipi. Malgrat la diversitat, s'han pogut classificar les estratègies en cinc grups: les que intenten recrear l'espai turístic per convertir-lo en una autèntica ciutat per viure-hi tot l'any, les que es basen en la sostenibilitat, les que aposten per la hiperealitat, les que desenvolupen esdeveniments efímers i les que impulsen la millora de la qualitat del producte turístic tradicional. Generalment aquests canvis es desenvolupen per assaig-error, per intuïció, sense que responguin a un model preestablert. Una de les principals conclusions d'aquest apartat ens indica que hi ha pocs municipis que puguin explicitar el fons i la forma de la seva política turística. Per això es desenvolupen estratègies que es superposen, es barregen i, a vegades es contradiuen, fent que la política turística del municipi es reinventi contínuament. De fet, com dedueix una altra de les altres conclusions, el model turístic actual es basa en la innovació constant.
Pel que fa al capítol teòric s'identifiquen les principals interpretacions sobre el canvi de model turístic i es classifiquen en cinc grups: les teories evolucionistes (Butler, Doxey, Miossec, Gormsen, Holder) que estableixen que les destinacions turístiques han de passar necessàriament per determinades fases, les teories que pronostiquen el col·lapse del sistema per superació de la capacitat de càrrega, les interpretacions que es basen en el canvi de l'escala, que parteixen de la idea que el turisme ha deixat de ser una activitat regional a un fenomen global, les que atribueixen als avenços tecnològics el canvi en el model i les que emmarquen els canvis turístics en un canvi més ampli que afecta a una societat que passa a ser postmoderna. De l'estudi teòric es desprèn que hi ha consens sobre la idea de crisi del model turístic però no hi ha unanimitat sobre les causes d'aquesta crisi ni sobre el nou model turístic que ha de sorgir.
L'estudi empíric de les variables de l'oferta turística litoral, que és l'aportació principal del capítol dos, ha permès treure moltes conclusions, tant per l'estudi descriptiu de les dades com per l'anàlisi de conglomerats jeràrquics. En aquest breu resum només destacarem dues idees. La primera d'elles contempla que el litoral no és homogeni sinó que està constituït per cinc tipus diferents de municipis que formen unitats orgàniques que es repeteixen per tota la costa. Entre aquests tipus de municipis hi ha el que hem anomenat ociurbs, que concentren gran part de l'oferta turística, els nuclis turístics que tenen un nombre important de població resident i aporten mà d'obra i serveis, i les ciutats perifèriques que tot i estar a la costa viuen al marge del negoci turístic. L'altra idea a destacar és que en vint anys la distribució de l'oferta turística en el territori ha canviat poc: als lloc on hi havia una gran concentració de places al 1981, l'any 2001 encara són els llocs que ofereixen més serveis d'allotjament. S'observa però un important canvi en la tipologia dels allotjaments: en els 20 anys estudiats els habitatges turístics s'han consolidat com la modalitat d'allotjament emergent, a molta distància dels càmpings i l'oferta hotelera.

Um conceito bastante em voga atualmente e o de cidades inteligentes. Ele define um tipo de desenvolvimento urbano capaz de reduzir os impactos ambientais, melhorando os modelos atuais de acesso a recursos naturais, transportes, gestão do lixo, climatização residencial e sobretudo a gestão da energia (produção e distribuição). O massivo volume de dados produzidos por cidades inteligentes oferece uma grande oportunidade para analisar, compreender e melhorar o modo como elas funcionam e se desenvolvem. Esta explosão na quantidade de informações tem elevado a importância do aprendizado a partir de dados a um patamar extremamente elevado. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo descrever uma metodologia para aquisição e exploração de dados de um dos mais importantes pilares de cidades inteligentes: o sistema de transporte público. Como obter, armazenar e utilizar tais dados a fim de prover a todos os envolvidos, serviços telemáticos de alto valor agregado e o problema que se busca resolver neste trabalho. Cinco serviços telemáticos são propostos sob forma de prova de conceito: avaliação da cobertura da rede de transporte atual, seguida de uma proposta de novas linhas de ônibus; avaliação indireta da ocupação diária dos ônibus da cidade; cerca-eletrônica com os limites geográficos definidos pelos itinerários das linhas; serviços de alerta de velocidade e de manutenção. Os resultados são bastante coerentes e promissores, abrindo um grande leque de possíveis trabalhos futuros a serem explorados.
Smart city is a very trendy concept today. It defines a type of urban development capable of reducing environmental impacts, enhancing current models of access to natural resources, better transportation systems, waste management, residential climatization and, above all, energy management (production and distribution). The huge data volume produced by smart cities offers a great opportunity to analyze, understand and improve the way cities work and grow. This explosion in the amount of digital information has elevated the importance of learning from data to a higher level. This document aims at describing a methodology for acquiring and exploring data from one of the most important pillars of smart cities: the public transportation system. How to acquire, store and use such data in order to provide to all stakeholders telematics services with high added value is the problem that is sought to solve in this work. Five telematics services proof of concept are proposed: assessment of current network coverage followed by the proposal of some new bus lines; indirect evaluation of buses’ passengers occupation during the day; geofence with geographical boundaries according to itineraries; speed alert and maintenance reminder services. The results are very coherent and promising, opening up a wide range of possible future work to be explored.

The decision to expand the operational base of the company into developing markets is but one of the many decisions that executives of multinational companies should be considering in today’s age of increased globalisation. As foreign direct investment can provide excellent alternatives to formal development capital, developing economies are increasingly leveraging this option to develop their home economy and industries within it. This research paper investigates the determinants of foreign direct investment by multinational United States based chemical companies into the chemical industries of the world. This offers a potential solution as to what the strategic reasons for this investment may be, as well as determines what the local country can do better to improve its position. The research clusters 26 variables into five cluster groupings that include the value of human capital, level of country infrastructure, industry performance factors, governance indicators and environmental compliance indicators. The variables within the cluster groupings are subjected to a regression analysis with the investment of US multinational companies into worldwide chemical industries as the constant variable. The results yield a model with a R² value for the regression of over 0.8 with six variables considered significant contributors to the model.

Cruise tourism has enjoyed significant growth in both the capacity deployment and the market-size of passengers in Asia recently. Operating both as a turnaround port and a destination port, Keelung Port has been the most outstanding one among all the ports in Taiwan in cruise visits and passenger volumes. With this booming trend in Asia, it’s critical for the port managers of Keelung to come up with well-defined development and operations strategies. Following our motivation above, this study would focus on the strategic analysis and planning for Keelung Port as a destination port. We would apply Balanced Scorecard to examine the strategic goals and key concerns from four perspectives, carefully build the logic links between two neighboring perspectives, establish strategy maps, and propose the corresponding action items as the means to improve the service quality of cruise lines and visitors as destination port for Keelung.

Social media has been a widely discussed subject in the marketing and tourism literature. Even though most of tourism entities have adopted social media as marketing tool, its real potential and benefits still remain unclear for most of companies and businesses involved. Also, there is little evidence on the purposes of using social media in the travel planning and whether these platforms are relevant or not for companies to market their products and destinations. This project aims at understanding the role of social media in tourists’ travel planning while analyzing the current role of Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) in destination promotion. This study comprised a survey with 200 tourists visiting the city of Lisbon. It was examined their usage of social media in travel planning, sites content information and influence in their travel plans and destination image. The analysis suggests social media is a relevant source in tourists’ travel planning, providing a wide range of information and used throughout all travel planning stages. Also, research claimed social media content is perceived as trustworthy and it will influence tourists travel plans as well as tourists’ destination overall image. In addition, the current level knowledge and satisfaction with Portuguese DMOs social media sites content and features was also analyzed and further combined with a qualitative study of two DMOs interviews. This work provides insights of social media usage in the travel context and ultimately point solutions for DMOs to use them as a marketing tool. Given the fact this is one of the first studies analyzing Portuguese DMOs social sites, several recommendations are provided for future research.
O tema das redes sociais tem sido amplamente discutido na literatura de marketing e turismo. Ainda que a maior parte das entidades turísticas tenha adotado as redes sociais como ferramenta de marketing, o seu potencial e benefícios ainda parecem não ser totalmente conhecidos pela maior parte das empresas e negócios. Acresce a isto, parece predominar pouca fundamentação científica relativamente aos motivos de utilização das redes sociais no planeamento de viagens, e na importância destas plataformas para as empresas na promoção de produtos e destinos. A presente tese procura aprofundar o papel das redes sociais no planeamento das viagens pelos turistas e analisar o papel atual das Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) portuguesas na promoção do destino. Este estudo compreendeu uma pesquisa quantitativa a 200 turistas que visitavam a cidade de Lisboa. Foram examinadas a utilização das redes sociais no planeamento das viagens, conteúdo dos sites e influência nos planos de viagem e imagem do destino. A análise sugere que as redes sociais são uma fonte relevante no planeamento das viagens pelos turistas e usada durante as fases de planeamento da viagem. Sugere-se ainda que o conteúdo apresentado nas redes sociais é confiável e que este influencia os planos de viagem bem como a imagem do destino pelos turistas. O nível de conhecimento e satisfação como os sites de redes sociais dos DMOs portugueses foram também analisados e posteriormente combinados com um estudo qualitativo de duas entrevistas a DMOs nacionais. Este projeto visa contribuir para uma melhor compreensão da utilização das redes sociais no âmbito turístico e sugerir soluções para os DMOs para utilização destas plataformas como meio de promoção. Sendo este estudo pioneiro na análise das redes sociais destas entidades turísticas, é apontado um número de sugestões para pesquisa futura nesta área.

Mehrabian-Russell Theory believes that tourists' positive or negative reactions to the attraction's emotions will cause their reaction of approaching or avoiding; however, dark tourism is a tourism type that is surrounded by tragedy which often triggers tourists’ negative emotions. These emotions are completely different from leisure activities that tourism is generally considered to be entertaining. The purpose of this study is to understand the degree of travelers’ preference for dark tourism attractions by using online travel planning sites. This study is conducted in empirical method, aiming at Matsu's dark tourism attractions. To explore traveler’s acceptance degree of dark tourist attractions, the study is carried out through dark tourism information disclosure and the use of two-factor design of different time-constrained. There are 249 subjects involves in this study and they are divided into four groups. The results reveal that there is a significant negative effect on travelers’ desire toward dark tourism due to the dark tourism elements and time constraints. As for dark tourism attraction, the results represent that the disclosure of dark tourism information has a significant negative effect on tourists’ travel intention and recommendation attitude toward dark tourism attractions. Yet, there is a significant positive effect on tourists’ negative emotions. Also, there is an obvious correlation between travel intention and the attitude recommendation attitude toward dark tourism attractions. The result of this study can be viewed as the feedback of tourists’ travel intentions and emotional reactions, and it could be the reference for travel agencies and management units of dark tourism attractions to develop more attractions and organize marketing strategies.

The intent of this research was to identify the effectiveness of a destination brand as determined by international tourists visiting the destination. The Caribbean can be viewed as a homogeneous region to many individuals seeking sun, sand, and sea; therefore, product differentiation is essential. Destination branding represents and distinguishes a country among competing nations. This concurrent mixed methods study set forth to investigate the effectiveness of the Saint Lucia destination brand. The following objectives underlie this research: i) to explore how the current destination brand was chosen, ii) to evaluate tourists’ perceptions and images of the destination, iii) to explore the relationship between tourists’ perceptions and destination choice, and iv) to evaluate the extent to which the destination brand influenced destination choice. The research findings indicate a lack of awareness concerning the new destination brand. A lack of brand communication and insufficient exposure has been detrimental to the overall success of the destination brand. A conceptual model for the development process of a destination brand was suggested to enhance destination brand effectiveness. The six essential stages include market research, destination image, targeting and positioning, brand identity, communication of the brand, and continuous monitoring and evaluation throughout. It is recommended to engage in monitoring and improvement initiatives of the brand to better gauge its effectiveness; to enhance exposure of the brand through effective niche marketing initiatives that showcase the diversity and unique attributes of Saint Lucia; and finally, to work towards transforming the destination brand into a national brand.

abstract: Tourism is not always a lighthearted affair. Visitors are often attracted to places associated with dark and complex pasts, where communities host a wide range of lived experiences, memories and associations. While tourism has potential to facilitate progress and create opportunities, it may also emphasize a place’s hardships or its controversial history. For tourism development to be ethical and sustainable, it is vital to understand its community impacts, including how it may influence residents’ perceptions and wellbeing.This research investigated residents’ senses of affect and emotion within touristic spaces of Mostar, a re-emerging destination city in Bosnia and Herzegovina that experienced some of the worst physical destruction and human casualties during the Bosnian War of the 1990s. An interdisciplinary, multiple-methods approach employed qualitative and quantitative methods, including an intercept survey, resident interviews, participant observation, and autoethnography. In Part 1, construal level theory of psychological distance was applied in quantitative, survey-based research to understand how tourism may impact residents’ affective responses to local places. In Part 2, fourteen young adult residents were invited to experience their city as “tourists for a day,” visiting attractions alongside the researcher and reflecting upon their experiences via a three-stage interview process. The resulting article specifically explores the concept of affective atmospheres, drawing connections to interdependence theory. Part 3 employed a creative and introspective autoethnographic approach incorporating journaling, poetry and photography to examine the researcher’s own experiences and observations as a visiting researcher in a post-war city. This inquiry was inspired by works from cultural geography engaging non-representational theory and affect theory. These three discrete studies under a shared thematic umbrella allowed for an in-depth exploration of affect, emotion, and lived experiences within touristic spaces of a post-war, recovering city. Overall, findings suggest that residents perceive tourism as a generally positive force, fostering senses of pride and creating opportunities for the city to move on from the persistent social and economic repercussions of war. However, the social and affective impacts of war are deeply engrained within the fabric of the city, and tourism has the capacity to emphasize differences and discomforts amongst residents and visitors alike.

The potential of the Chinese outbound tourism market is substantial; however, research on this market to Canada is limited. This may be due, in part, to the lack of Approved Destination Status (ADS). This study examined the possible perceived image of Canada obtained by potential Chinese tourists, and to compare to the marketing position of Canada by CTC China Division-in effect, to conduct a product-market match between two concepts. Content analysis and an importance and performance analysis were used in the study. A questionnaire distributed at the Beijing Capital International Airport solicited perceptions of tourism in Canada, importance of selected attributes in travel decision making, performance of selected attributes on Canada, and trip preferences. The marketing position of Canada was examined through a content analysis of the promotional materials circulated from CTC China Division in Beijing, China. The coherences and gaps between perceived image of Canada and marketing position of Canada provide some marketing implications. This study concludes that the general tourism image of Canada is vague but positive, which is probably derived from the historically favorable image of Canada in china. Potential Chinese tourists had little knowledge on specific tourism sights; however, they recognized star attractions of Vancouver, Niagara Falls, and Toronto. Potential Chinese tourists prefer slow-paced trips; group tours; two weeks in length; in fall season; featuring mid-budget accommodation, preferably bed-and-breakfasts; on motor coach; visiting nature based sights at majority; and providing foods of various cultures. The current marketing position of Canada reflected through promotional materials by CTC and its partners has coherences in promoting tourism attractions in Canada to the image of Canada. Gaps exist on the promotion of travel issues and unconventional attractions, which inspires the marketing implications. Promotional resources should be allocate to unconventional tourism attractions with consideration rather than the presence of Chinese and mandarin speaking environment in Canada because of Chinese tourists’ demand for culture diversity. Promotion should include more information about travel expense and visas to establish reasonable consumer expectations.

The purposes of the study were to investigate the formation process of destination image and measure factors of planning graduation field trip of the ninth grade student. The researcher hope the study can provide destinations suggestions and measure factors for teachers and planners for planning graduation filed trip.
