The disastrous fire of 2022
No full textČlanek predstavlja mnenja, poglede in stališča prebivalcev in strokovnih delavcev glede pogozdovanja Krasa po velikem požaru leta 2022, zaradi katerega je pogorel velik del kra-ške krajine na slovenski in italijanski strani meje. Požar je postal izhodiščna točka raziskave, ki se je odvijala od avgusta do decembra 2023 na Univerzi na Primorskem, Fakulteti za humanistične študije (UP–FHŠ), v sklopu raziskovalnega programa Življenjski prostori Slovenije: preteklost – sedanjost – prihodnost (ŽIVS). Glavno raziskovalno vprašanje, do katerega se članek opredeljuje, je: Ali je pogozdovanje Krasa po požarih nujno? Odgovor na dilemo je podan na osnovi analize zgodovinske literature in etnografske terenske razi-skave, ki upošteva poznavanje, ki ga ima kraško prebivalstvo o podobi in funkcijah kulturne krajine Krasa v preteklosti. Iz raziskave izhaja, da sta opuščanje kmetovanja ter nasploh pomanjkanje skrbi za urejanje in ohranjanje krajine pomemben razlog , da se je požar leta 2022 hitro razširil na obsežen predel Krasa. Kot so sogovorniki večkrat poudarili, je danes kraška krajina pretežno »zapuščena«, »zaraščena« in »zanemarjena«.This article presents the opinions, views and attitudes of residents and professionals towards the reforestation of the karst landscape after the disastrous forest fires of 2022, during which a large part of the Kras region on the Slovenian and Italian sides of the border burnt down. The fire became the starting point of a research project taking place at the University of Primorska, Faculty of Humanities (UP-FHŠ), as part of the research programme “Slovenia’s Living Spaces: past - present - future (LIVS)” (August – December 2023). The main research question addressed in the paper is whether there is a need for reforestation in the Kras region after the fires. The answer to the dilemma is based on the analysis of his-torical literature and ethnographic fieldwork data, considering the vernacular knowledge of the Kras population rooted in past representations of the region’s cultural landscape. The research shows that the abandonment of farming and the general lack of care for landscape management and conservation have contributed to the rapid spread of the 2022 fire over an extensive area. As the interviewees have repeatedly pointed out, the region’s karst landscape is nowadays largely abandoned, overgrown, and neglected
A classification of Q-polynomial distance-regular graphs with girth 6
No full textLet Γ denote a Q-polynomial distance-regular graph with diameter D and valency k≥3. In [Homotopy in Q-polynomial distance-regular graphs, Discrete Math., {bf 223} (2000), 189–206], H. Lewis showed that the girth of Γ is at most 6. In this paper we classify graphs that attain this upper bound. We show that Γ has girth 6 if and only if it is either isomorphic to the Odd graph on a set of cardinality 2D+1, or to a generalized hexagon of order (1,k−1)
Uporaba krajinskih risb za preučevanje dojemanja destinacij
No full textThis paper represents a narrative literature review on gamification within tourism and hospitality sector (T&H). Out of 61 studies, 55 papers examined the importan-ce of adopting gamification in this industry but failed to acknowledge the role of motivational affordances that are responsible for invoking gameful experiences in tourism apps and promoting sustainable travel practices which benefits all gamifi-cation parties specifically app designers, core service providers, third party service providers, and tourists or players. Motivational affordances are crucial for the fulfil-ment of basic psychological needs for relatedness, autonomy, mastery, and purpose, that in turn induces further behavioural outcomes reflected in achieving meanin-gful users’ interaction, engagement, and loyalty in addition to potentially achieving rewards. Hence, the researchers have searched in a number of databases including Elsevier, ResearchGate, Routledge, Springer, and Scopus to reveal whether gamifica-tion literature within T&H sector provided enough examinations for motivational affordances and their ultimate effects on psychological and behavioural outcomes. Finally, the researchers elaborated on specific future research directions.Ta članek predstavlja raziskovalno študijo, v kateri je uporabljena kvalitativna razi-skovalna metoda, ki temelji na risanju - tehnika skiciranja krajinske podobe (LIST) za raziskovanje predstav ljudi o turističnih destinacijah. Ta metoda vključuje ude-ležence, ki s skiciranjem simboličnih prizorov izražajo svoje dojemanje določenih krajev. V nasprotju s prejšnjimi študijami, ki so temeljile na risanju, metoda LISTuporablja štiriaspektni model zaznavanja krajine za interpretacijo predstav ljudi ter prepoznavanje njihovih vrednot in interesov. Kot študijo primera smo raziskali podeželski turizem v avtonomni regiji Guangxi Zhuang na Kitajskem, pri čemer smo zbrali skice podob 166 lokalnih študentov tretjega letnika, da bi osvetlili njihovo dojemanje podeželskih destinacij. Metoda LIST se je izkazala za koristno pri razumevanju funkcionalnih značilnosti podeželskih destinacij Guangxija ter pri odkrivanju psiholoških doživetij, ki jih anketiranci pričakujejo. Članek obravnava tudi mož-nosti in omejitve uporabe metode LIST pri raziskavah podobe turističnih destinacij
Vpliv duhovne romarske izkušnje na odločitev o ponovnem romanju v indonezijsko Wali Songo
No full textThis study explains the roadmap that connects pilgrims’ spiritual experience with the revisit intention of the tomb of Sunan Wali Songo in Central Java, Indonesia. Explaining how pilgrims’ spiritual experience creates revisit intention in the religious tourism industry is important. A theoretical model involving attitude toward pilgrimage and pilgrim satisfaction is built based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and tourist experience literature. For this purpose, around 303 pilgrims were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) based on AMOS 23.00, which is combined with the IBM SPSS 21. The results show that revisit intention can be improved by utilizing four pathways: (1) direct path of spiritual experience, (2) indirect path through attitude toward pilgrimage, (3) indirect path through pilgrim satisfaction, and (4) indirect path through attitude toward pilgrimage and pilgrim satisfaction. This study is expected to contribute to developing TPB and tourism marketing literature by providing a holistic model of spiritual experience and its influence on attitude toward pilgrimage, pilgrim satisfaction, and revisit intention. This study also offers important insights for managers engaged in the religious tourism industry.Pričujoča raziskava pojasnjuje potek, ki povezuje duhovno izkušnjo romarjev z njihovo namero po ponovnem obisku grobnice Sunan Wali Songo v osrednji Javi v Indoneziji. Razumevanje, kako duhovna izkušnja romarjev ustvarja namero po ponovnem obisku v okviru verskega turizma, je pomembno. Teoretični model, ki vključuje odnos do romanja in zadovoljstvo romarjev, je bil oblikovan na podlagi teorije načrtovanega vedenja (angl. Theory of Planned Behaviour – TPB) in litera-ture s področja turistične izkušnje. V ta namen je bilo analiziranih približno 303 ro-marjev s pomočjo strukturnega modeliranja enačb (angl. Structural Equation Mo-delling – SEM), ki temelji na programu AMOS 23.00 in je kombiniran s programom IBM SPSS 21. Rezultati kažejo, da je mogoče namero po ponovnem obisku izboljšati preko štirih poti: (1) neposredne poti prek duhovne izkušnje, (2) posredne poti prek odnosa do romanja, (3) posredne poti preko zadovoljstva romarjev ter (4) posredne poti preko odnosa do romanja in zadovoljstva romarjev. Pričujoča raziskava naj bi prispevala k razvoju TPB in literature s področja trženja turizma z zagotavljanjem celostnega modela duhovne izkušnje ter njenega vpliva na odnos do romanja, za-dovoljstvo romarjev in namero po ponovnem obisku. Razsikava prav tako ponuja pomembne vpoglede za menedžerje, ki delujejo na področju verskega turizma
