Coastal landscape and 'disappearing' territories
No full textThe relationship between climate and tourism is very close, and this connection is even more evident for tourism in coastal areas. The various impacts of climate change have long been obvious in many destinations. In addition, like all sectors, also tourism contributes to the production and emission of greenhouse gases, with devastating consequences for certain areas. Through a case study, this contribution aims to reflect on territories that are disappearing due to climate change combined with excessive tourism. A new form of tourism, known as last chance tourism, has emerged as a result. In recent decades, warming in the Mediterranean has been much faster than in the rest of the world, causing serious territorial and economic consequences. Entire areas traditionally dedicated to tourism today have to deal with a drastic decrease in the number of tourists or, in some cases, an excessive increase in them to visit places with an uncertain future
Le aree rurali dopo la pandemia. Una riflessione sul ruolo del turismo e la gestione delle nuove sfide
No full textIl tema della marginalità, di grande interesse per gli studi geografici, rappresenta certamente una questione problematica riconducibile prima di tutto al depauperamento della risorsa umana, registrato in molti territori. Sia che si tratti di aree interne piuttosto che montano-collinari e rurali, l’abbandono demografico assume il carattere della trasversalità geografica, riguardando
dimensioni territoriali diversificate ma connotate dal comune impoverimento delle attività economiche e sociali e da un rallentamento, o dal vero e proprio arresto, del progresso tout court
Il ruolo del patrimonio dismesso nello sviluppo del turismo lento di prossimità
No full textIl 2022 è iniziato con il risorgere della pandemia dovuta al Covid-19.
Senza dubbio gli operatori e le destinazioni turistiche dovranno continuare ad
operare in quello che si chiama la fase del “turismo post-Covid” e far fronte
ad una situazione complessa ed imprevedibile.
Sin dagli anni Ottanta dello scorso secolo, il turismo è stato caratterizzato
da rilevanti e veloci cambiamenti che hanno determinato la ridefinizione
dell’esperienza turistica con particolare accento sulla dimensione
culturale e sensoriale, dove accanto alla frammentazione della domanda è
emersa una maggiore sensibilità verso le identità locali e il genius loci dei
luoghi visitati
Wine tourism as a vector of local and regional development. Case study Prahova County
No full textWine and gastronomic tourism is now emerging as one of the most promising segments of the tourism sector. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the Romanian wine heritage, with an impressive historical past, to highlight the considerable potential regarding the development of wine tourism in Romania, the factors that attract and motivate this alternative form of tourism, respectively the efficiency of a network of thematic routes in Dealu Mare vineyard. The study performs a radiography of wine tourism in Dealu Mare region, of the ways in which thematic routes, such as the Wine Road, 14 years after launch, can contribute to the socio-economic development of the Sub-Carpathian region of Prahova, through moderate investments and rapid results. The goals of local development are to encourage an attractive territory and a well-defined identity, with a competitive and efficient agriculture and rural economy with respect for the environment
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
