Coordination Degree

The integration of agricultural heritage and tourism industry contributes significantly to regional heritage protection, rural revitalization, and cultural inheritance. Based on the coupling coordination degree model, a quantitative research was conducted to study the integration of agricultural heritage in terms of the jasmine and tea culture system in Fuzhou with the local tourism industry. The results showed that both the development of Fuzhou’s jasmine and tourism industries have advanced significantly and are currently leading in the country. However, they are not developing at the same pace. The results also showed that the coordination degree between Fuzhou’s jasmine and tourism industries have increased in recent years, with deepened mutual effects and improved coordination. Moreover, the coupling coordination degree has been rising over the past 13 years, with the coupling coordination level transforming from “extreme disorder” to “quality coordination,” demonstrating a slow integration progress of Fuzhou’s jasmine with the tourism industry at the early stage, but a sound development momentum at the later stage.

Bhutan is an important tourist destination in South Asia, and its tourism industry has emerged as the second highest revenue generator next to hydropower. Retaining and enticing first-time tourists to revisit their country is an important policy adopted by many countries of the world. However, the growth trajectory of tourists’ flow to Bhutan changed with a sharp decline in the repeat tourists over the past straight 8 years (2011–2018) with an annual negative growth of 19.1%. Against this backdrop and the non-availability of any meaningful study on tourists’ revisit dynamics, this study investigates the factors associated with the Bhutan revisit intentions of regional and international tourists by using both quantitative and qualitative data. The quantitative data are analysed using multinomial logistic regression and are triangulated with qualitative findings. Factors such as perceived value of money, safety and control variables, viz. gender, age, category of tourists and employment are found significantly affecting tourists’ Bhutan revisit intentions. Eventually, this study also discusses policy implications at the level of the state and tour operators.

Coordination Degree

The rapid development of the tourism industry, range expansion, and intensity growth of human tourism activity have all caused intensifying ecological environmental problems while bringing considerable economic benefits. The ecological environment is currently faced with huge pressures due to the unreasonable tourism resource development, annual decrease in bearing capacity of the tourism environment, and excessive tourism consumption. To coordinate the relationship between tourism economic growth and ecological environment, this work carried out a case study based on Shandong Province, China. First, four aspects of environmental pollution caused by tourism were analyzed. Second, the tourism economy-ecological environmental coordination degree model and index system were established and then the coordination degree in Shandong Province from 2002 to 2019 was estimated. Results show that the tourism industry causes the following typical pollutions: water, soil, air, and noise. The coupling coordination degree (D) between the tourism economy and ecological environment in Shandong Province increased from 0.100 in 2002 to 0.995 in 2019, indicating the transition from serious imbalance to a high-quality coordination state. It is suggested to further promote tourism economy-ecological environment coordinated development by innovating the tourism-economy coupling development mode, creating the entire tourism industrial chain, increasing efforts in tourism reform, and exploring and implementing ecological compensation policies. Research conclusions have important significances to further study and explore the development status between the tourism industry and ecological environment and realize the coordinated development between the tourism industry and regional economy.

From hard to soft: theory and Neolithic studies in Scotland

The Past

The Scottish Theoretical Archaeology Group (STAG) conference organisers expressed some doubts about how far theory has changed, and impacted, archaeological establishment and academia in Scotland. In this paper, I will argue that Scotland is certainly not isolated in a theoretical sense, although in the past, Scottish archaeology could be accused of being theoretically conservative, or at least dependent on ideas and models developed elsewhere. A case-study looking at Neolithic studies will be used to illustrate that despite some recent critical historiographies of the study of the period in Scotland, archaeologists in Scotland and those working with Scottish material have been theoretically innovative and in step with wider paradigm changes. The study of the Neolithic in Scotland, it could be argued, has been shaped by theory more than the study of any other period; we are not isolated, but rather part of wider networks of discourse.

Globalisation combined with resources of oil and gas has led to an industrial society in Malaysia.  For the past 30 years, rapid urban growth has shifted from 73% rural to 73% urban population. However, the peak oil crisis and economic issues are threatening the growth of urbanisation and influencing the trends of population mobility. This paper documents the beginnings of a reverse migration (urban-to-rural) in Malaysia.  The method adopted case study that involves questionnaires with the urban migrants to establish the desires, definite intentions and reasons for future migration. Based on this data, it predicts a trend and rate of reverse migration in Malaysia.

Some of the renowned world tourism countries have special peculiarities in character in terms of their nature reserves and built environments; that made them stand out for their attractions and visits. These qualities range from conservation and preservation of nature reserves, built environments- epoch architectural supports over the years; historical heritage; political; religious; socio-economic; cultural; and  high technology that enhance culture. The virtues of multi- ethnic groups and multi- cultural nature gave Nigeria a rich cultural heritage, and she is blessed with natural wonders, unique wildlife, and a very favorable climate. More often than not less attention and importance are placed over the nature reserves and built environments to the detriment of tourism in lieu of other sectors. Summarily the country lacks the culture of conservation and preservation of her abundant resources to promote cultural tourism. Case study strategy was applied in the research tours with reports of personal experiences, documentaries and analyses of sites visited in Europe and Nigeria were highlighted with references to their attributes in terms of structures and features that made up the sites as relate to culture and attraction.The task in keeping rural, city landscapes and nature reserves alive stands out as the secret of communication link from the past to present and the future; which tourism developed nations reap as benefits for tourist attraction.

Abstract Inclusion of cerium (Ce) oxide particles as an abrasive into chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) slurries has become popular for wafer fabs below the 45nm technology node due to better polishing quality and improved CMP selectivity. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has difficulties finding and identifying Ce-oxide residuals due to the limited region of analysis unless dedicated efforts to search for them are employed. This article presents a case study that proved the concept in which physical evidence of Ce-rich particles was directly identified by analytical TEM during a CMP tool qualification in the early stage of 20nm node technology development. This justifies the need to setup in-fab monitoring for trace amounts of CMP residuals in Si-based wafer foundries. The fact that Cr resided right above the Ce-O particle cluster, further proved that the Ce-O particles were from the wafer and not introduced during the sample preparation.

Tourism is an important component of the Indonesian economy as well as a significant source of the country’s foreign exchange revenues. According to the Center of Data and Information - Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the growth of foreign visitor arrivals to Indonesia has increased rapidly by 9.61 percent since 2010 to the present. One of the most potential tourism destinations is Komodo Island located in East Nusa Tenggara. With the island’s unique qualities, which include the habitat of the Komodo dragons and beautiful and exotic marine life, it is likely to be one of the promising tourism destinations in Indonesia and in the world. In 1986, the island has been declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Ministry of Culture and Tourism continuously promotes many of the country’s natural potential in tourism through various media: printed media, television and especially new media. However, there are challenges for the Indonesian tourism industry in facilitating entrepreneurship skills among the local people in East Nusa Tenggara. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (2011), East Nusa Tenggara is considered as one of the poorest provinces in Indonesia where the economy is lower than the average, with a high inflation of 15%, and unemployment of 30%. This research is needed to explore further the phenomenon behind the above facts, aiming at examining the role of new media in facilitating entrepreneurship in the tourism industry in Komodo Island. The results of this study are expected to provide insights that can help local tourism in East Nusa Tenggara. Keywords: Tourism, Entrepreneurship, New Media
