The present research addresses the push–pull winescape traits of the hedonic wine tourism segment and discusses their attitudinal and behavioral intentions. The self-governing pen-and-paper survey conveniently sampled 301 wine tourists in situ at the Swan Valley winery in Western Australia. Push–pull winescape qualities generated a segmentation basis for cluster analysis, which defined four divisions— Inspireds, Self-Drivens, Market-Drivens, and Inerts. Inspireds exhibited the most favorable attitude toward the winery and were the most willing to recommend the winery, whereas Inerts demonstrated the converse effect. Theoretically, the segmentation bases, building on the Push–Pull winescape properties, provide a fresh and more nuanced description of the wine tourism categories in Australia’s rising wine tourism sector. Idealistically, this new image is important in delivering marketing insights to fewer Australian wine producers whose only connection to regional retail and export markets is via direct sales at the winery gates.

By drawing from the dynamic capabilities approach, this study examines innovation from the perspective of winery owners and managers representing four different countries. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 56 participants. As many as 12 common forms of innovation were revealed among the four groups, with intangible aspects conforming the large majority. For instance, sensing comprised efforts to increase export markets, new winery equipment and technologies, whereas seizing included more presence in social media and wine tourism, focusing on niche-batch production, or preserving and rescuing ancient varietals. Reconfiguring was manifested through consistency in product quality, more knowledge of foreign languages, networking and by trying new ways, particularly in production processes. A resulting theoretical framework, which reveals a circular process among sensing, seizing and reconfiguring, is subsequently proposed. Similarly, a developed roadmap aligned with wineries’ way of innovating suggests important implications for wineries and their industry.

RESUMO: Apresenta-se neste trabalho a solução adotada para execução das fundações do Parque de Usina Eólica localizado no Ceará, com a utilização das estacas injetadas autoperfurantes, executadas em presença de solos arenosos. No qual consiste em perfurar o solo com altíssima velocidade por rotação e “pull down”, através da injeção simultânea de nata de cimento com medias pressões. Ocasionando na estaca um diâmetro final que pode obter o dobro do bit de perfuração, de acordo com o tipo de solo, gerado pelo efeito do jato da nata de cimento. Detalhando os processos executivos, verificando os aspectos técnicos e operacionais, para melhor compreender as características estruturais deste elemento. De forma a verificar “in situ” o desempenho deste novo tipo de fundação profunda, foram realizadas provas de carga, em estacas com diferentes diâmetros e comprimentos, realizadas em perfis estratigráficos de solos arenosos, para melhor avaliação de sua capacidade de carga. Analisando-se os ensaios das provas de carga interpretados a base da extrapolação da curva carga versus recalque e das previsões da capacidade de carga, obtidas por meio dos métodos semi-empíricos de correlação com ensaios de penetração (SPT), avaliando os padrões de execução desta tipologia de estaca injetada para comunidade geotécnica. ABSTRACT: This paper aims to establish the selected solution to except the foundations of the Wind Energy Park in Ceará (Brazil), with an executive methodology of the self-drilling injection piles framed in loco in Sandy soil. In which the soil drilling is done with the highest speed by rotation and pull down, through the simultaneous injection of grouting with medium pressures. This kind of drilling causes in the pile a final diameter that can get the double bore bit, according to the type of soil, done by the grouting blast. The executive processes are detailed as a whole, and also presenting the pile materials composition, in order to understand the structural characteristics of this element. To verify the performance of this new kind of deep drilling, instrumentations were done: settlement control and load tests in constructions with different structural characteristics, in self-drilling injected piles with different diameters and length, done in stratigraphical sandy, for a better evaluation of its load capacity. Analyzing the essays of load tests interpreted in the basis of curve extrapolation load versus settlement and the previsions of the load capacity, obtained by semi-empirical methods correlating with the penetrations methods (SPT), offering information to the geotechnical community.

The article considers the problematic issues of the development of the tourism industry in the Russian Federation. In the context of global challenges, the tourism sector of the Russian Federation retains significant potential to accelerate growth and strengthen its role in the development of the economy. On the example of individual tourist projects, the author summarizes and identifies possible areas of activity of public authorities. The study makes comprehensive proposals for the development of the tourist destination at the territorial level, including in the preparation of strategic documents, the adoption of regulatory measures on the business activities of the self-employed in the tourism sector, increasing the revenue base of local budgets through the development of tourism through the introduction of an additional fee.
