Traditionally and socially, the tourism in Constanta is considered to be important to the local economy. Sun and beach locations are both a draw for locals and tourists to the city, on the Black Sea. However, vacation-oriented activities in the city only have a seasonal cycle. In this paper, we proposed to analyze the mass tourist activity in Constanta, taking into account economic, social, and environmental conditions. Additionally, we attempted to build a model based on the data available. The model was developed using a PESTEL analysis to determine the supportability factor of the indicators identified. We also set out to create a projection of the activities proposed for analysis by 2050. To create a model for coastal areas, the data used in this research must be accurate and consistent. Furthermore, correctly identifying indicators and their relationships is a critical step in conducting a thorough study. Last but not least, finding the calculation coefficient for the activity in question is critical, as collecting data from various activities might be challenging when trying to find a feasible model.

ResumoObjetivou-se desenvolver e validar um instrumento adequado para avaliar o impacto de um programa piloto de intervenção no ambiente alimentar local para promoção da alimentação saudável em comércios de varejo de alimentos da Zona Noroeste em Santos/SP, região caracterizada como deserto alimentar. Foi realizada pesquisa formativa para validação do instrumento, incluindo reuniões de pesquisadores, varredura no território estudado para identificação dos comércios de alimentos, visitas a atores do canal de distribuição de alimentos, oficinas comunitárias com a comunidade local e entrevistas em profundidade com proprietários dos estabelecimentos para validação de conteúdo e validade aparente. Foi testada confiabilidade do instrumento por coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach. O desenvolvimento do questionário incluiu questões para avaliação da Identificação e Caracterização do Comércio; Parâmetros de Comercialização, incluindo importância de fatores para a inclusão de um novo alimento, frequência de aquisição de produtos, rentabilidade; e Escala de Fatores Psicossociais, incluindo expectativa em relação às vendas de alimentos saudáveis, expectativa em relação ao impacto, e autoeficácia em relação à comercialização de alimentos saudáveis. A validação permitiu revisão de todas as questões e alternativas de resposta do questionário, com alfa de Cronbach variante de 0,440 a 0,967 nas questões do instrumento final. Este resultado indica que o instrumento proposto foi capaz de identificar características relevantes do sistema de distribuição de alimentos á nível local e pode ser utilizado em estudos epidemiológicos para avaliação de políticas públicas territoriais elaboradas para aumento do acesso a alimentos saudáveis.Palavras-chave: Estudos de Validação; Saúde da População Urbana; Ambiente Alimentar AbstractThe objective was to develop and validate a culturally appropriate instrument to evaluate the impact of a pilot intervention program in the food environment to promote healthy eating in small food stores in an urban food desert. A formative research was carried out for the validation of the instrument, including meetings of researchers, visits to all the streets in the study's region to identify food stores, visits to food distribution system agents', community workshops with the local community and in-depth interviews with food store owners for content and apparent validity. Instrument reliability was tested by Cronbach alpha coefficient. The development of the instrument included questions to evaluate the Identification and Characterization of Store; Marketing Parameters (i.e. influencers for including new food itens and frequency of product acquisition and profitability); and Psychosocial Factors Scale (i.e. expectations regarding healthy food sales, expectations regarding impact of intervention, and self-efficacy in relation to the marketing of healthy foods). Validation process allowed a review of all questions and questions' responses, with Cronbach alpha between 0.440 to 0.967 in the final instrument questions. It can be concluded that the instrument was developed to identify relevant characteristics of the food distribution system and can be used in epidemiological studies and public policies to evaluate increase access to healthy foods.Key words:Validation Studies; Urban Health; Food Environment

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of vernacular architecture and traditional knowledge to building resilience in Nepal and the impact of modernisation on that resilience and architectural diversity. Design/methodology/approach Using an action research approach, including field observations and discussions with local community members, artisans, architects, engineers and other international experts, the study examines the resilience of traditional building typologies to natural hazards in Nepal, including earthquake; the changes that have occurred over time leading to the failure and/or rejection of traditional construction; and a review of post-earthquake reconstruction options, both traditional and modern. Findings Although traditional approaches have been cyclically tested over time, this study found that changes in building materials, technologies, knowledge and skills, access to resources, maintenance practices, urban environments and societal aspirations have all contributed to the popular rejection of vernacular architecture following the earthquakes. Research limitations/implications The research is limited to traditional timber and masonry construction in the Kathmandu Valley and surrounding mountain areas. Practical implications To improve resilience the study identifies the need for capacity building in both traditional and modern construction technologies; adoption of approaches that use local materials, knowledge and skills, whilst addressing local timber shortages and access issues; a transparent construction certification system; good drainage; and regular maintenance. Originality/value The study critically evaluates the impact of technological, environmental, social and economic changes over time on the resilience of vernacular housing in Nepal.

ABSTRAK: Paparan terhadap zat tambahan pada plastik (plasticizers) berdampak luas terhadap kesehatan, khususnya pada janin dan anak. Plastik digunakan secara luas sebagai kemasan makanan dan minuman. Mengetahui bagaimana memilih dan menggunakan jenis plastik yang tepat yang akan berkontak dengan makanan penting untuk menghindari risiko paparan bahan kimia berbahaya pada plastik. Program pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan diseminasi temuan ilmiah terkini mengenai dampak plasticizers terhadap kesehatan melalui program edukasi masyarakat yang ditargetkan pada pemuka masyarakat di Kecamatan Bungus Teluk Kabung, Padang. Edukasi disampaikan dalam bahasa lokal dan diikuti dengan diskusi bebas dengan peserta. Dampak program dinilai menggunakan kuesioner pra- dan pasca-intervensi. Analisis respon pra-intervensi menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar peserta tidak mengetahui cara menggunakan plastik yang benar sebagai kemasan makanan dan minuman dan tidak mengetahui klasifikasi plastik. Namun, sebagian besar setuju bahwa penggunaan plastik harus dibatasi dalam pemrosesan makanan dan usia anak rentan terhadap bahaya plasticizers. Analisis pasca-intervensi menunjukkan terjadinya perubahan respon peserta. Disimpulkan bahwa program edukasi ini secara efektif memodifikasi sikap dan pengetahuan peserta mengenai risiko penggunaan plastik dalam pemrosesan dan kemasan produk makanan dan minuman.Kata Kunci: edukasi, kesehatan, makanan, minuman, plastik ABSTRACT: Environmental exposure to plasticizers has a wide health impact, particularly to the fetus and children. Plastics are widely used as food wrapping and beverage container. Knowing how to choose and to use the right kind of plastics for contact with foods and drinks is important to safeguard against the health-risks imposed by chemicals in plastics. Our objective was to disseminate scientific findings on the health impact of plasticizers through a community education program targeting key persons in the District of Bungus Teluk Kabung, Padang. Educational material was presented in local language, followed by a free-flow discussion with participants. We assessed the impact of the program by using pre- and post-intervention questionnaire. Analysis of pre-intervention responses showed that most participants did not know how to correctly use plastics as foods and drinks container and had no knowledge on the classification of plastics. However, most agreed that the use of plastics for food processing should be limited and that children are susceptible to the harmful effects of plasticizers. Post-intervention analysis showed a shift in participants’ responses. In conclusion, our program effectively modifies participants’ knowledge on the health risk imposed by using plastics in processing and keeping consumable products.Keywords: education, health, food, drink, plastics

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss academic spinoffs (ASO) as an expression of the value creation of university technology transfer (TT) investments. More recently, scholars have emphasised intellectual capital’s (IC) importance, also for universities in obtaining competitive advantages and by creating value. Such spinoffs are key to regional development, as a primary aspect of universities’ IC. Design/methodology/approach The authors tested the aim through a sample of the University of Pisa’s spinoffs. The authors measured the value the university’s third mission investment generates on the area by means of entrepreneurship through two different approaches. First, the authors defined a multiplier of the TT investment (university TT multiplier) and then explored the IC components’ contributions to the ASOs’ enterprise value (EV). Findings The results show that the University of Pisa’s TT investments positively impact the local community through the spinoff system, both in economic terms and in IC. In the long term, these investments can enrich scientific humus and entrepreneurial mindsets. Research limitations/implications This is an exploratory study of the University of Pisa’s impacts on the local economy. The results are limited to the context of Pisa and to the TT policy. Another limitation is the subjectivity of the EV estimation. Practical implications The results can have some practical implications. The large portfolio of university stakeholders (policymakers, families, students, companies, financiers, etc.) ask for information, especially on long-term results: in a simple way, the multiplier is able to communicate important feedbacks to support their decision-making process. Social implications With the multiplier, the authors give a tool to measure the social enrichment. Originality/value In the study, the authors propose a new tool to measure the impact of the investment in TT on the local community.

Abstract - “Bandung the Champ” is a program organized by Bandung’s Municipal Government to develop the local economy and increase the quality of urban life. One of these programs is called the Kampong Champ, which puts forward the concept of the Creative Kampong. The purpose of this program is to develop the economy of the local community by way of exploring the potential of the citizens, and to create a kampong fit for tourism. The Creative Kampong at Dago Pojok has been built and expanded from 2010 up to the present. The phenomenon that has taken place consists of the change made in the spatial lay-out to accommodate tourist activities based in these quarters that are of a temporary kind. This research project aims to identify the change mentioned above as a consequence of the marked shift from daily activities in the neighborhood to tourism-related ones and to reveal the influence of the change in spatial arrangement made in this kampong on the spatial lay-out of the Dago Pojok area. The methods employed for this research consist of the qualitative method and the descriptive method along with field observation using the technique of observing place-centered mapping. The study of the discussion starts off with identifying the arrangement of physical space that has undergone change due to a change in activity, followed by an analysis of the influence of the architectural elements on the change made in the lay-out of physical space and the approach to the morphological aspects of the city to identify the impact of these changes on the planning of this urban area. The results of the study indicate that the changes made in the arrangement of the activity space and the circulation have been caused by the change in daily activities into tourism-related ones coming from the Creative Kampong so that the latter’s spatial lay-out cannot accommodate these activities properly. As a consequence, the space needs to be rearranged with the element of semi-fixed features due to the density of the relatively tall buildings in this urban kampong. The changes in spatial arrangement made in the various areas under observation have exerted an influence on the urban kampong’s spatial lay-out, amounting to a structural change in the lay-out and orientation as well as the formation of hierarchy and datum in the area of Dago Pojok.

A cultura dos povos está ligada à alimentação e para entender sua diversidade e especificidade tornam-se imprescindíveis resgatar aspectos históricos, visitar o passado e trazer hábitos, costumes e crenças de cada etnia. Este estudo objetiva resgatar a memória gastronômica das etnias formadoras do Oeste de Santa Catarina. Como metodologia utilizou-se a pesquisa-ação, onde além da revisão de literatura buscou-se descrever as ações de um projeto de extensão denominado Patrimônio Gastronômico do Oeste de Santa Catarina. Como resultado chegou-se aos ingredientes chaves de quatro etnias: italiana, alemã, cabocla e polonesa e a partir deles criou-se um novo prato representando-as, o Revirado. AbstractThe objective was to develop and validate a culturally appropriate instrument to evaluate the impact of a pilot intervention program in the food environment to promote healthy eating in small food stores in an urban food desert. A formative research was carried out for the validation of the instrument, including meetings of researchers, visits to all the streets in the study's region to identify food stores, visits to food distribution system agents', community workshops with the local community and in-depth interviews with food store owners for content and apparent validity. Instrument reliability was tested by Cronbach alpha coefficient. The development of the instrument included questions to evaluate the Identification and Characterization of Store; Marketing Parameters (i.e. influencers for including new food itens and frequency of product acquisition and profitability); and Psychosocial Factors Scale (i.e. expectations regarding healthy food sales, expectations regarding impact of intervention, and self-efficacy in relation to the marketing of healthy foods). Validation process allowed a review of all questions and questions' responses, with Cronbach alpha between 0.440 to 0.967 in the final instrument questions. It can be concluded that the instrument was developed to identify relevant characteristics of the food distribution system and can be used in epidemiological studies and public policies to evaluate increase access to healthy foods.Key words:Validation Studies; Urban Health; Food Environment
