Asian organic foods consumers’ behaviour is worth investigating to sustain the continuous growth of organic foods consumption. Hence, Fiona has the ambition to employ the innovation diffusion theory to profile and understand organic foods consumers in Hong Kong in her research proposal. The process of writing an acceptable research proposal is challenging, tedious and time consuming as depicted in Fiona’s experience. Hence, this case study provides the opportunity for educators, students, and organic foods sellers and retailers to discuss and address Fiona’s challenges.

Tourism Destinations

Recent decades have revealed profound changes in population leisure paradigms, strengthening social representations attributed to the enjoyment of natural spaces and leading to the growth of informed, demanding, and conscious visitors. Responsible nature tourism assumes a continuous growth in tourism destinations and their marketing strategies. Without the attractiveness of the hot-water islands, the Azores follow a development model towards differentiation factors based on the quality and notoriety of the destination privileging, among others, specialized markets anchored in this territory's main resources and potentialities. The current expression of whale watching in these islands, assumed as one of the main representations of nautical tourism in the region, seems to raise important questions about the real impacts of its practice. This chapter proposes to synthesize this segment as a case study, presenting a successful and recurrent sustainable product and several valorisation strategies to promote its responsible development.

The continuous growth of cities in combination with future climate changes present urban planners with significant challenges, as traditional urban sewer systems are typically designed for the present climate. An easy and economically feasible way to mitigate this is to introduce a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) in the urban area. However, the lack of knowledge about the geological and hydrogeological setting hampers the use of SUDS. In this study, 1315 ha of high-density electromagnetic (DUALEM-421S) data, detailed lithological soil descriptions of 614 boreholes, 153 infiltration tests and 250 in situ vane tests from 32 different sites in the Central Denmark Region were utilised to find quantitative and qualitative regional relationships between the resistivity and the lithology, the percolation rates and the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils at a depth of 1 meter below ground surface (m bgs). The qualitative tests enable a translation from resistivity to lithology as well as a translation from lithology to percolation rates with moderate to high certainty. The regional cut-off value separating sand-dominated deposits from clay-dominated deposits is found to be between 80 to 100 Ωm. The regional median percolation rates for sand and clay till is found to be 9.9 × 10−5 m/s and 2.6 × 10−5 m/s, respectively. The quantitative results derived from a simple linear regression analysis of resistivity and percolation rates and resistivity and undrained shear strength of cohesive soils are found to have a very weak relationship on a regional scale implying that in reality no meaningful relationships can be established. The regional qualitative results have been tested on a case study area. The case study illustrates that site-specific investigations are necessary when using geophysical mapping to directly estimate lithology, percolation rates and undrained shear strength of cohesive soils due to the differences in soil properties and the surrounding environment from site to site. This study further illustrates that geophysical mapping in combination with lithological descriptions, infiltration tests and groundwater levels yield the basis for the construction of detailed planning maps showing the most suitable locations for infiltration. These maps provide valuable information for city planners about which areas may preclude the establishment of infiltration-based SUDS.

Teresina-Timon conurbation (TTC) area is an example of urban agglomeration, situated in the semiarid environment of the northeast region of Brazil, which has shown an accelerated process of urban development over the last four decades (1985–2019). In this study, we developed a semi-automatic urban land mapping framework at the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform to (a) evaluate spatiotemporal sprawl of the TTC area (1985–2018); and (b) quantify current urban fabric structures of TTC area (2019). The main empirical results demonstrate that the use of the Landsat historical dataset is a suitable option for generating consistent urban land maps across the years in semiarid environments. Teresina and Timon expanded, respectively, from 70.34 km2 and 12.20 km2 in 1985 to 159.02 km2 and 30.68 km2 in 2018, increasing annually at 3.05% and 3.69% averaged rate, showing an underlying tendency of continuous growth, and magnitude similar to Asian cities. The results of the urban fabric (UF) structures mapping demonstrates a high complexity of the urbanized surfaces, characterized by irregular shapes and variability of urban coverage. In 2019, the TTC metropolitan area was covered by urban land use classes as ceramic roofs, other types of roofs, and impervious surface, in the proportions of 28.02%, 11.97%, and 5.67%, respectively.
