Sustainable tourism considers economic, social, and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment, and host communities. Additionally, sustainable tourism development requires the informed participation of all relevant stakeholders and strong political leadership to ensure participation and consensus building. Nevertheless, maintaining sustainable tourism is necessary to encourage a high level of tourist satisfaction and to be able to ensure a new experience for them, while raising their awareness and promoting sustainable tourism practices. This research aims to study the sustainability of transportation in Lebanon in its broadest scope. This will be done by exploring the problems and solutions that can improve the transportation sector. Due to the lack of sustainable transportation, this research could help fill gaps to improve Lebanon's transportation sector. The study relied on qualitative method, through the utilization of Questionnaires for both residents and visitors and an expert in the field targeted through an Interview. The main findings presented in this paper have shown problems and solutions to Lebanon's transportation sector and the relation between transportation and tourism sustainability.

Few empirical studies on the effect of tourism impacts on residents’ support for tourism development have linked an environmental justice perspective with sustainable tourism. This study aims to explore spatial distributive differences in residents’ perceptions of tourism impacts to understand their support for sustainable tourism development. A total of 1057 residents of the Lu-Kang destination in Taiwan were surveyed using an on-site questionnaire. Employing the kernel density method and the local K function for spatial point analysis, the results indicated that spatial clustering of residents’ perceptions of both positive and negative tourism impacts occurred in the specific locations. Further, high household income, high education, and more personal benefits from tourism promoted the formation of localized spatial clusters where residents had positive perceptions of tourism impacts which, in turn, led to a high level of support for tourism development. Conversely, low income, low education, and less personal benefits from tourism cultivated the development of spatial clusters with negative perceptions of tourism impacts which, in turn, caused a low level of support for tourism development. The implications for sustainable tourism planning and strategies are discussed.

Kajoetangan or Kayutangan kampong heritage is a new tourist spot in Malang that emphasizes the empowerment of local communities in realizing settlement-based sustainable tourism that existed during the colonial era which was composed of dozens of Indische architecture in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Kayutangan heritage villages are composed of settlements with a small size with access in the form of a small footpath combined with a mural and various outdoor plants. The houses in the area have not changed for nearly a hundred years, which have been passed down from generation to generation. Descriptive qualitative method is used in this research by combining the data obtained based on in-depth interviews, survey and combined with literature studies. Purpose of this research is to explore historical sequences and processes of sustainable tourism management controlled by local residents with financial assistance from various partners. The results of the study show that the role of local communities is quite positive in efforts to support tourists either by being directly or indirectly involved by building supporting facilities for core tourism such as culinary spots and souvenirs. Collaboration with several government agencies, universities and banks also makes the additions and directions in making and using additional facilities more structured.
