Cambodia serves as a prime example of a developing country where the local community necessitates sustained stakeholder support to foster empowerment and promote local economic development. Ecotourism and conservation are among the major issues of concern in the study of community development. This study used the main five eco-tourism areas in Cambodia as examples. It looks at the connections between eco-innovations in tourism products, community engagement, co-creation experiences, support for CBET, perceived impact likelihood outcomes, community economic benefits, environmentally responsible behavior in ecotourism sites, and biodiversity conservation. The study employed a quantitative research approach to investigate and parameterize the dynamic ecotourism components as well as to explore key factors that influence the CBET. We collected the data using a self-administered survey on 398 local eco-based tourism communities that sell services and products to tourists. We also asked for structured questionnaire items of local communities that provide tourism services to visitors in eco-tourism destination sites in 2022-2023. The SEM results showed that this study significantly impacted and confirmed all relationships among research variables, as proposed in the conceptual model. We also discuss in detail the research findings of this study.展开更多

In a broader sense, the human-centered equivalents of experience and trust apply to D2D interaction. Ubiquitous computing (UbiComp) embeds intelligence and computing capabilities in everyday objects to make them effectively communicate, share resources, and perform useful tasks. The safety of resources is a serious problem. As a result, authorization and access control in UbiComp is a significant challenge. Our work presents experience as an outcome of history (HI), reliability (RL), transitivity (TR), and Ubiquity (UB). This experience model is easily adaptable to a variety of self-regulating context-aware access control systems. This paper proposes a framework for Experience-Based Access Control (EX-BAC) with all major services provided by the model. EX-BAC extends attribute-based access control. It uses logical device type and experience as context parameters for policy design. When compared with the state-of-the-art, EX-BAC is efficient with respect to response time.展开更多

文摘In recent years,managing rural living environments has become a vital component of the rural revitalization strategy.Jiangsu Province,rich in economic and cultural resources,has accumulated valuable experience in exploring rural environmental governance by integrating culture and tourism.This research analyzes the practical logic of rural environmental governance in Jiangsu from both theoretical and practical perspectives.It emphasizes the importance of integrating culture and tourism to enhance environmental governance while addressing the associated challenges.The results show that the integration of culture and tourism not only enhances rural ecological environments and living facilities but also boosts regional economic development and the preservation of cultural resources.Nevertheless,there are still challenges in aspects such as the collaboration of stakeholders,the establishment of long-term mechanisms,and the application of digital technologies.Based on real cases in Jiangsu,this study suggests optimization strategies and policy recommendations to improve rural environmental governance within the framework of cultural and tourism integration.
文摘Exploring the spatial evolution patterns of land use in creative urban tourism complexes provides theoretical and decision-making support to foster creative tourism projects.This study focuses on the Hangzhou Leisure Expo Garden as a case study,utilizing a land use change index model to analyze the spatial evolution characteristics and dynamic processes of creative urban tourism complexes,as well as to explore their spatial differentiation mechanisms.The analysis indicates that Hangzhou Leisure Expo Garden,initially a derelict industrial area dominated by production and residential land use,has evolved into a creative urban tourism complex with tourism comprehensive service land at its core,going through the pattern evolution processes of“constrained sprawl,”“intensive expansion,”and“random integration.”From the perspective of tourism human-land relationships,the formation of land use evolution patterns in creative urban tourism complexes results from various stakeholders(government,tourism enterprises,residents,tourists,etc.),as humanistic factors,continuously adapting to specific urban spaces,which are considered as geographical elements and have locational advantages and are oriented towards economic and social values.Based on the acquisition of stakeholder interests,the transformation of resource-disadvantaged areas into tourism advantage areas is facilitated,thereby achieving the re-creation of tourism creative space and promoting intensive spatial growth.
文摘Cultural ancient roads,known in Chinese as gudao,serve as heritage trails that carry historical exchanges across various regions in China.Due to their extensive preservation,wide geographical distribution,diverse thematic variations,and considerable tourist appeal,these paths have emerged as representative heritage trails,increasingly transforming into a novel tourism product experience that is highly favored by tourists and recognized by government authorities.However,research on ancient roads for tourism in China currently lacks a systematic theoretical framework,as well as relevant policies,regulations,and standards to guide their practical development.Therefore,there is a pressing need to draw upon international best practices and conduct foundational research to develop an experience element system that aligns with the perceptions,behaviors,and consumption characteristics of Chinese tourists,thereby advancing theoretical exploration in this field.This study focuses on the representative Ancient Shu Road as a case study and employs a mixed-method approach that integrates qualitative and quantitative research.It aims to construct a tourist-centric scale for the experience elements of ancient road tourism while analyzing the interactive relationship between these experience elements and tourist needs.This study addresses a significant gap in the development of indicator systems for domestic studies of ancient road tourism experiences.Ultimately,the study establishes a comprehensive scale that encompasses three core categories—trail resources and environment,facilities and services,and modes of tourism activities—along with eight primary dimensions:core resources,surrounding cultural environment,surrounding natural environment,tourism reception facilities and services,infrastructure and support services,information facilities and information services,and outdoor and recreational activities.This scale consists of thirty-two specific items,providing a robust reference for future research endeavors.Additionally,the study proposes specific development strategies related to key mechanisms,spatial configuration,and facility construction to enhance the overall development of ancient road tourism.
文摘Experience is a sociological concept and builds over time. In a broader sense, the human-centered equivalents of experience and trust apply to D2D interaction. Ubiquitous computing (UbiComp) embeds intelligence and computing capabilities in everyday objects to make them effectively communicate, share resources, and perform useful tasks. The safety of resources is a serious problem. As a result, authorization and access control in UbiComp is a significant challenge. Our work presents experience as an outcome of history (HI), reliability (RL), transitivity (TR), and Ubiquity (UB). This experience model is easily adaptable to a variety of self-regulating context-aware access control systems. This paper proposes a framework for Experience-Based Access Control (EX-BAC) with all major services provided by the model. EX-BAC extends attribute-based access control. It uses logical device type and experience as context parameters for policy design. When compared with the state-of-the-art, EX-BAC is efficient with respect to response time.

文摘Tourism resources that span provincial boundaries in China play a pivotal role in regional development,yet effective governance poses persistent challenges.This study addresses this issue by constructing a comprehensive database of transboundary natural tourism resources(TNTR)through amalgamation of diverse data sources.Utilizing the Getis-Ord Gi^(*),kernel density estimation,and geographical detectors,we scrutinize the spatial patterns of TNTR,focusing on both named and unnamed entities,while exploring the influencing factors.Our findings reveal 7883 identified TNTR in China,with mountain tourism resources emerging as the predominant type.Among provinces,Hunan boasts the highest count,while Shanghai exhibits the lowest.Southern China demonstrates a pronounced clustering trend in TNTR distribution,with the spatial arrangement of biological landscapes appearing more random compared to geological and water landscapes.Western China,characterized by intricate terrain,exhibits fewer TNTR,concurrently unveiling a significant presence of unnamed natural tourism resources.Crucially,administrative segmentation influences TNTR development,generating disparities in regional goals,developmental stages and intensities,and management approaches.In response to these variations,we advocate for strengthening the naming of the unnamed transboundary tourism resources,constructing a geographic database of TNTR for government and establishing a collaborative management mechanism based on TNTR database.Our research contributes to elucidating the intricate landscape of TNTR,offering insights for tailored governance strategies in the realm of cross-provincial tourism resource management.
