City branding has become a massive effort by many cities as tourist destinations to promote the city nationally and internationally. Ambon City, the Capital of Maluku Province, known as the “City of Music,” and the City of Solo with “Solo the Spirit of Java,” are examples of city branding. In North Maluku Province, Ternate City has a long history of colonialism, international trade, and a developing city. Unfortunately, inconsistencies still exist in how the city should be known. This study aims to identify and define city branding by using the constructivist grounded theory method. The themes identified were quality tourism, economic value, community engagement, stakeholder consensus, legendary ancient leadership, and historic and renowned commodity. Six main themes are theoretically based on how to branding Ternate city and involving seven important participants. These themes are then used to define the branding of Ternate City. Current research offers a testable model to brand a place or city based on the identified subjects.

The successful development of a territory as a tourist destination is not always associated with a variety of recreational resources. In the modern conditions of informatization, of great importance is a favorable image of the territory, which helps to promote the created recreational center. Our study aims to identify the factors that have contributed to the recreational development of the Finnish city of Kouvola, which, in the absence of significant recreational facilities, is one of the most important tourist destinations in southeastern Finland. We have analyzed the features of the economic and geographical position of the city, and identified the most attractive objects of tourist interest based on the content analysis of reviews about Kouvola on tourist Internet portals. We have also examined how careful attitude to the industrial history of the city made it possible to create new attractive recreational objects. The following factors have been found among those making Kouvola attractive for tourists: the border position of the city and its location at the intersection of important transport routes, as well as the presence of interesting recreational facilities in the adjacent territories and large shopping centers in the city itself. Consequently, Kouvola is used as an ‘entry point’ into adjacent territories with richer recreational potential. At the same time, the most important factor in the tourism development of Kouvola is no t the position near the border, but the location on the way of tourist flows. On the other hand, the tourist infrastructure created in the city contributes to the fact that tourists also use it as a point of main stay. Analysis of the recreational development experience of such places can be applied for planning tourism development of geographically similar territories.

In recent years, the value of city culture has become a core element of city development, and the creation of city culture through “cultural regeneration” has become an important element of establishing a city branding. However, city branding cannot be effectively activated through simple city cultural resource development, publicity and activities, and there are limitations in creating branding uniqueness and resonance with citizens or tourists. Only by grasping the characteristics of the city to form a unique urban creativity and continuously update it can citizens or tourists experience the special features in the city, and thus successfully activate the city branding. In order to enhance the competitiveness of cultural cities, it is necessary to fully combine the characteristics of modern cultural heritage and contemporary city culture to create city charm. Through the construction of city branding identity with the participation of local society and residents, it will enrich the city culture, improve the quality of life, and contribute to the vitality of the regional economy. Shanghai selected as the research object was designated as one of the five trades in 1843, starting the history of the concession. Although it left many modern cultural heritages and formed a unique Shanghai-style culture, it did not disclose different city branding to the outside world. Therefore, in order to make Shanghai build a variety of cultural content, express its cultural power different from other cities, and create cultural value, this research aims to effectively use Shanghai’s distinctive history, culture, places and other core resources to establish a branding identity strategy different from similar cities at home and abroad.

The question of how successful a project is beyond the handover stage is still echoing in the literature on project management and more magnified in international development (ID) projects. In addressing the question, this study aims to demonstrate the importance of time frame in assessing project success, particularly identifying the success criteria at the post-handover stages (outcome and impact stages). This study used a qualitative approach that was rooted in interpretivism, allowing the use of constructivist grounded theory method (CGTM) in an ID project as an example. The study identified eight success criteria: Convenience, Development, Documentation, Maintainability, New Capability, Price of Service or Product, Training, and Usability. The study also found that, first, each participant had different emphases on different success criteria; second, most of the identified success criteria were still under the outcome stage; and lastly, usability received the highest responses from the participants as the most concerned criterion at the post-handover stages. This last finding verified the importance of time frame where the other criteria became less important if the outputs were useful to deliver the institutions’ strategic objectives. Future studies that use more sampled participants and different types of institutions are also encouraged.

Brand is an important concept in the marketing of products, booth goods and services. Giving a city a brand is needed to provide an identity for the city. With a strong brand, a city can "sell itself" and open up more extensive employment opportunities, both through tourism excellence (culinary, tourism, handicraft, arts, and culture), as an education center, as well as industry excellence that has the potential to attract investors inside and outside country. Banda Aceh, which is reported strictly with Islamic values, often makes this city unworthy of being a tourist destination. By promoting Islamic tourism, Banda Aceh still lacks in tourist arrivals, though many of Banda Aceh's culture and tourist destinations are fascinating to visit. Given the importance of communicating the superiority of destination related to Banda Aceh, stakeholder training needs to be developed in developing a city branding strategy. Stakeholders have an essential role in promoting the image of the city, primarily through various media. This training focuses on providing insights and knowledge, as well as skills in developing attractive and effective city branding strategies through multiple media to communicate the image of Banda Aceh.

This chapter analyzes city branding efforts in Istanbul in the context of urban tourism. The chapter focuses on the evolution of promotional practices from disorderly and inconsistent marketing strategies to a coherent city brand. This relatively brief but complex history of city branding in Istanbul is divided into three analytical and interrelated phases: Self-Orientalism, the City of Religions and the Multi-Faceted City. In analyzing this process, the main representations, themes, slogans and other methods of city branding are discussed. In doing so, this study attempts to introduce a historical/chronological approach to the city branding literature in the case of Istanbul. Next, in the light of this approach and the case study, the study aims to discuss general implications and reasons about changes of city brands over time.

<p>Siracusa is an important historical city of Greek origin, located on the southern part of the eastern coast of Sicily. The old town developed on the island of Ortigia, and expanded on the near mainland, but later it declined and during the Middle Ages it occupied only the island. The development of the built areas on the mainland restarted at the end of the nineteenth century, with the construction of a number of new quarters. Nowadays the island of Ortigia is connected to the rest of the town by two drive-over bridges. The history of Siracusa as well as of the eastern coast of Sicily is marked by destructive earthquake events that caused significant damage and many fatalities, and also by lethal tsunamis (occurred in the years 1169, 1693 and 1908). Indeed, this region is one of the coastal areas most prone to tsunami attacks in the Mediterranean Sea, being affected by local-source tsunamis and also by those generated by earthquakes in the Western Hellenic Arc.</p><p>For these reasons, in the last decade the need has developed to prepare adequate evacuation measures to respond to tsunami hazardous events. This work, using the method proposed by Pagnoni et al. (2020) and applied to the near town of Augusta, studies the tsunami risk for different inundation levels. The results are provided in terms of the Human Damage (HD), which is the number of people involved and the number of fatalities, and of the Economic Loss (EL), which returns the loss of economic value of buildings affected by tsunamis. Maps of HD and EL per each inundation scenario allow one to understand which areas of Siracusa are most involved and also to identify evacuation paths to potential safe collection areas and/or buildings for efficient emergency plans.</p>
