Possibilities of transforming Međimurje into a destination of sustainable tourism
No full textOvaj diplomski rad istražuje mogućnosti transformacije Međimurja u održivu turističku destinaciju, fokusirajući se na očuvanje prirodnih resursa, kulturne baštine i poticanje ekonomskog razvoja. U radu se analizira kako se principi održivosti mogu integrirati u turistički sektor Međimurja, kako bi se osigurala dugoročna korist za okoliš, lokalnu zajednicu i gospodarski razvoj. Međimurje, smješteno na krajnjem sjeveru Hrvatske, posjeduje bogatu prirodnu i kulturnu baštinu koja pruža temelj za razvoj održivog turizma. Međutim, regija se suočava s izazovima poput sezonalnosti turizma i nedostatka prepoznatljivog turističkog identiteta. Unatoč tim izazovima, postoje značajni potencijali za razvoj turističkih inicijativa koje uključuju ekoturizam, kulturni turizam i agroturizam. Postojeći projekti poput revitalizacije rijeke Mure i razvoja vinskih cesta već su donijeli značajne koristi regiji, promovirajući održivost i očuvanje okoliša. Budući projekti, kao što su zeleni koridori i razvoj pametnih destinacija, predloženi su kako bi dodatno ojačali kapacitete regije za održivi turizam i diversifikaciju turističke ponude. Zaključak rada naglašava važnost integracije održivih praksi u turistički sektor te potrebu za suradnjom svih dionika, uključujući lokalnu zajednicu, vlasti i privatni sektor. Kroz odgovorno upravljanje, edukaciju i promociju Međimurja kao održive destinacije, regija može postati lider u održivom turizmu u Hrvatskoj, osiguravajući dugoročne koristi za sve uključene strane.This thesis explores the potential for transforming Međimurje into a sustainable tourism destination, focusing on the preservation of natural resources, cultural heritage, and the promotion of economic development. The research analyzes how sustainability principles can be integrated into Međimurje's tourism sector to ensure long-term benefits for the environment, the local community, and economic growth. Located in the northernmost part of Croatia, Međimurje is rich in natural and cultural heritage, providing a strong foundation for the development of sustainable tourism. However, the region faces challenges such as seasonality in tourism and a lack of a distinct tourism identity. Despite these challenges, there are significant opportunities for developing tourism initiatives that include ecotourism, cultural tourism, and agritourism. Existing projects like the revitalization of the Mura River and the development of wine routes have already brought substantial benefits to the region, promoting sustainability and environmental conservation. Future projects, such as green corridors and the development of smart destinations, are proposed to further enhance the region's capacity for sustainable tourism and to diversify its tourism offerings. The thesis concludes by emphasizing the importance of integrating sustainable practices into the tourism sector and the need for collaboration among all stakeholders, including the local community, authorities, and the private sector. Through responsible management, education, and the promotion of Međimurje as a sustainable destination, the region can become a leader in sustainable tourism in Croatia, ensuring long-term benefits for all involved parties
Turistic Offer of Međimurje County
No full textDanas je turizam jedna od najbrže rastućih aktivnosti svijeta i svi žele biti dio tog modernog, globalnog trenda. Neki uspijevaju, a drugi su manje uspješni. Međimurska županija u turističkom smislu zasigurno spada u ove prve. Uspjehe koje ova županija na sjeveru Hrvatske ostvaruje posljednjih godina nitko ne može opovrgnuti. Iako turizam nije dio tradicije na sjeveru, danas čini okosnicu gospodarstva Međimurja, kraja i inače gospodarski razvijenog u okvirima Hrvatske. Povoljan geografski položaj u blizini srednjeeuropskih zemalja, odlična prometna povezanost, bogata baština i tradicija veliki su aduti Međimurja. Turistički su pokazatelji dobri, a kako bi bili još bolji izuzetno je važna tranzicija međimurskog turizma prema ekonomiji doživljaja. Komponenta ekonomije doživljaja danas je nezaobilazna i kvalitetan doživljaj potrebno je turistu omogućiti na svakom koraku. Najveći komparativni minus Međimurja nedostatak je snažnog i prepoznatljivog brenda. No unatoč tomu, županija je uspjela turistički znatno napredovati. Stoga je vrlo vjerojatno kako će ambicioznost i kreativnost lokalnih ljudi u budućnosti biti ključan faktor postizanja još boljih turističkih rezultata kroz ponudu novih, modernih turističkih proizvoda vođenih idejom ekonomije doživljaja.Today, tourism is one of the fastest growing activities in the world and everyone wants to be a part of this modern, global trend. Some succeed and others are less successful. Ina terms of tourism, Medjimurje County is certainly one of the first. Nobody can deny the successes that has been achieved in the north of Croatia in recent years. Although tourism is not part of the tradition in the north, today it forms the backbone of the economy of Medjimurje, a region that is otherwise economically developed within Croatia. Favorable geographical position near Central European countries, excellent transport links, rich heritage and tradition are the great assets of Medjimurje. Tourism indicators are good, and in other to be even better, the transition of Medjimurje tourism towards the economy of experience is unavoidable today and it is necessary to provide a quality experience to the tourist at every step. The biggest comparative minus of Medjimurje is the lack of a strong and recognizable brand. But despite this, the county has managed to make significant progress in tourism. Therefore, it is very likely that the ambition and creativity of local people in the future will be a key factor in achieving even better tourism results through the offer of new, modern tourism products guided by the idea of the economy of experience

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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
