For the fixed tourist routes in the scenic spot, the longer the journey is, the slower the speed is, and the easier the congestion is. This study is an exploratory study. In this paper, Yudaokou grassland forest scenic area, a nature reserve crossed by national No.1 scenic road, is selected as the research object. Based on the point- axis gradual diffusion theory, the mobile app is used to record the travel process of tourists on the same tourist route in the same scenic area, so as to calculate the travel speed of tourists on different road sections, and then predict the future congestion of the scenic area, the smaller the speed, the greater the probability of congestion; the greater the speed, the less time, the smaller the probability of congestion. Finally, the paper discusses the significance and theoretical contribution of the study on the two aspects of tourists’ moving behavior and moving mode in scenic spots.

<p>El Centro de Emprendedurismo CCEEmprende de- sarrolla, desde 2007, un programa de apoyo a emprende- dores. Para mejorar su gestión, resulta de gran importancia analizar, en forma preliminar, los emprendimientos en una de dos categorías: éxito o fracaso. En este artículo se identifican los principales factores asociados al éxito de un emprendimiento y cómo se vincu- lan para anticipar el futuro del emprendimiento. Se presenta un caso de estudio con base en los datos de una encuesta realizada a emprendedores participantes del programa, aplicando técnicas de clasificación. Las dos técnicas utilizadas de data mining son árbol de decisión y regresión logística, en ambas se obtuvieron resultados coincidentes. Los hallazgos muestran que los dos elementos más relevantes para anticipar el éxito de un emprendimiento son contar con financiamiento y que, anteriormente, la situa- ción laboral del emprendedor sea trabajador independiente. Estos primeros resultados obtenidos en el estudio de caso revelan información útil acerca de las mejores formas de apoyo al emprendedor, cómo generar incentivos al em- prendedor y la definición de herramientas o actividades que incidan favorablemente en el éxito de los emprendimientos. Si bien desde la teoría o para otras realidades existe infor- mación sobre los factores que colaboran en la determina- ción del éxito, para la realidad del Uruguay no se identifican estudios similares.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstract</strong> </p><p>Since 2007, the CCEE Entrepreneurship Centre has developed a supporting program for entrepreneurs. A preliminary analysis to determine if the venture was successful or a failure is made to improve the program’s management . In this article, the authors identify the main factors associated with entrepreneurship’s success, and how they can anticipate entrepreneurship’s performance. The case study is based on a survey data applied to the Entrepreneurship Program participants. The two data mining techniques are decision trees and logistic regression. The results were consistent across both tech- niques. The findings show that the two most important elements to predict entrepreneurship’s success are fun- ding and previous experience as self-employed. The results provided very useful insight about the best ways to support entrepreneurship, how to encoura- ge entrepreneurs, and define tools or activities to impact positively ventures success in Uruguay, since similar stu- dies have not been developed.</p>

Gamification design in educational environments is not trivial and many variables need to be considered to achieve positive outcomes. Often, educators and designers do not know when the students intentions on the use of gamified environments might influence their experience. Based on this premise, this paper describes an exploratory study on the users intention to use gamification, focusing on its influence in the field of education. We conducted a survey study with participants (N=1.692) and analysed their answers using unsupervised data mining techniques. As a result, we obtained empirical evidence showing that demographic and contextual variables influence (positively and negatively) peoples intention to use gamification. This evidence can support designers and educators better understand whether and when they should or should not gamify a learning environment.

In the context of growing concerns regarding the deterioration of the environment and the increase in social inequalities, the concept of sustainability emerged as a response of companies, in order to contribute to community goodwill. The drivers and obstacles for the businesses engaging in sustainable policies have been explored at large by scientific literature. However, research gaps were observed, namely regarding SMEs, that tend to have a less formal and more fragmented approach to sustainability. The goal of our study is to determine the main barriers and facilitators for sustainability that Romanian SMEs face, and the connections between them and with the firms’ characteristics. Our study identifies the main barriers and facilitators for adopting sustainable practices in SMEs located in Romania, based on a study on a panel of 71 firms. The association rule method of data mining and quantitative statistic methods were used to explore barrier–facilitator relationships and how they vary depending on the firms’ or managers’ characteristics. The results show a wide range of drivers and obstacles for implementing sustainability in SMEs, while identifying connections between different barriers and facilitators and correlations with the firms’ characteristics. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of factors that impact sustainable behavior in SMEs and identify further aspects to be explored.
