Perspectives for community‐driven tourism in Cape Verde
Full text linkIn developing countries, most of the time, tourism is characterised by an exogenous variable.
Instead of reducing social issues, not only does this characteristic feature increase them but it also has
negative repercussions on a cultural level and on the environment, with complete disregard for the key
principles of sustainable development. Local communities are not usually able to interpret the potential
for tourism development since they do not share common core needs with it. Consequently, the underlying
needs of international tourism flows are neither interpreted nor understood. In this paper, the proposed
strategy is community‐based
tourism. Its core can be found in the integral mapping and management of
every single component of Cape Verdean tourism that is given in the most interesting areas in terms of
environment, landscape, and culture on the island. The development of identifying social and cultural traits
plays a fundamental role when considering the balance between the tourist’s needs and expectations, and
the needs of the host population
Turismo e tecnologia. Molteplici narrazioni, dallo smart tourism all'esperienzialità creativa
No full textProspettive, scenari e fabbisogni formativi per un turismo sostenibile nel Lazio
No full textL’importanza di proporre una formazione supportata e accompagnata da attività di ricerca è per la Fondazione ITS una tradizione ormai consolidata. Gli Organi della Fondazione hanno deciso di dare avvio alla presente collana editoriale con l’intento di assicurare percorsi formativi sempre innovativi e rispondenti alle esigenze di un mercato in continuo cambiamento, nella piena convinzione che, in un settore così dinamico com’è il turismo, uno spazio di approfondimento per studi e ricerche potesse supportare al meglio le decisioni inerenti il piano didattico e l’istituzione di nuovi corsi. Collana che, nel decennale della Fondazione, giunge, con questa pubblicazione, Prospettive, scenari e fabbisogni formativi per un Turismo sostenibile nel Lazio, ad ospitare il suo quarto volume. La ricerca qui proposta, nel focalizzarsi su un’analisi regionale orientata a definire l’evoluzione del fenomeno turismo, nella sua parte iniziale, riporta e sistematizza dati di scenario internazionali e nazionali. Un’indagine a tutto tondo, dunque, che intende supportare e motivare l’obiettivo dell’individuazione di nuovi target di mercato, definendo il ruolo di comparti in espansione quali il Food & Beverage, che si orienta a definire il valore dell’innovazione tecnologica nel e per il turismo, per approdare ad individuare profili professionali con competenze che possano rispettare gli ambiti tradizionali del settore turistico ma, allo stesso tempo, connettersi e orientarsi alle esigenze di un mercato in continuo cambiamento.
La ricerca in questione, nella sua parte di analisi, si è conclusa a ridosso del diffondersi del Covid-19 e pertanto considera solo in parte le evidenze legate alla pandemia, ma mantiene inalterato il merito di fornire un quadro interpretativo compiuto sul posizionamento dell’Italia, e della Regione Lazio in particolare, sul mercato internazionale del turismo ed è fortemente vocata a definire fabbisogni formativi comunque attuali e necessari, pronti, anche nella particolare congiuntura che viviamo, a fornire risposte alle sfide della contemporaneità.
Ai Curatori e agli Estensori dei diversi capitoli vanno i miei ringraziamenti, quelli degli studenti e delle nuove professionalità che si formeranno a partire da queste analisi.
All’attività di ricerca che seguirà la presente pubblicazione, già avviata dalla Fondazione, sempre grazie al supporto della Regione Lazio, l’onere di attualizzare i dati e di avviare ulteriori percorsi formativi in grado di comprendere gli stravolgimenti portati dal diffondersi del Covid-19 e di fornire competenze a territori fragili ma che continuano a vedere nel turismo opportunità di riscatto
Contemporary art museum and territory: The case study of Rome
No full textThe big urban cities like Rome represent a subject for the creation of a new social project system in which the groups set new relational networks based on creativity, information, commerce and work. Museums dedicated to contemporary arts and settled within the big cities correspond to one of the possible contact points of the variety of these circuits. The case study that this paper intends to analyze, in terms of local development and internalizations, concerns the museums network of contemporary arts of Rom
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
