The main aim of this paper is to analyze the development of the railway network in Sicily (Italy), where it runs close to the sea on two of the three sides of the island, and give an overview of the related impacts on coastal environment and tourism. In order to achieve such an objective, the impacts of the railway network were analyzed according to coastal typology (distinguishing between rocky and sandy coastal sectors) and distance from the shoreline (dividing distance values in concrete intervals). Rails were mostly emplaced in flat coastal areas due to the island’s rugged terrain: out of 1592 km of railway, ca. 350 km is located less than 1000 m from the shoreline (123 km on rocky sectors and 227 km on beaches and coastal plains). On sandy beaches and low sandy coastal sectors, approximately 6 km of track is within 25 m from the shoreline, a value rising to 16 km if a 50 m distance is considered, 48 km at 100 m and 103 km at 200 m distance. In correspondence of rocky platforms and high cliffed sectors, data reported for short distances between the rail and the shore are similar to ones observed along sandy coastal sectors, but differ when distance increases, i.e., there is only 32 and 47 km of railway respectively within 100 and 200 m from the shoreline. The emplacement of the railway embankment on beaches and dunes favored coastal squeeze and enhanced coastal erosion due to wave reflection on the embankment, which had to be protected by hard structures. Impacts on rocky sectors, with respect to beach and dune systems, are generally low because such sectors are usually stable (they do not need to be protected), less attractive to tourists and present small urban development. Tourism was affected by reducing landscape quality, beach access and width. More detailed studies and monitoring programs are necessary to locally assess the detailed impacts of the railway network, with this study constituting a preliminary but useful approximation to determine which coastal sectors are potentially the most affected. Results obtained in this paper can stimulate similar researches in other countries to prevent or decrease railway impacts on “Sun, Sea and Sand” tourism and, in general, on the coastal environment.

The Relationship

This analysis presents a methodology for measuring the efficiency of train dispatching as a product of three variables: (a) the type of train control system (measured by latency, defined here as the interval between occurrence of a schedule deviation and initiation of corrective action); (b) the physical capacity of the route (track kilometers per route kilometers); and (c) train minutes per route kilometer (a measure of both capacity and dispatcher competence). A mathematical relationship among these three variables is postulated, and a log-log regression analysis is used to develop coefficients that relate each of the three independent variables to dispatching efficiency. To do this, actual train-movement data and minimum train running times for 28 U.S. Class I railroad line segments are used. Results of the regression analysis indicate a statistically valid relationship among latency, track capacity, traffic volume, and dispatching effectiveness. Dispatching effectiveness, calculated by placing track kilometers per route kilometer, train minutes per route kilometer, and latency at their mean values, was 71.3 percent (the mean latency was about 17 min). At a latency of 3.5 min, average effectiveness is 81.3 percent. Examples of the trade-off between latency and effectiveness and between track capacity and effectiveness also can be calculated. For the average line, when latency is progressively reduced from the current value of 15 min to 3.5 min, dispatching effectiveness increases from 71.3 to 81.3 percent. When track kilometers per route kilometer are increased from the average value of 1.3 to 2.0 (double-tracking the entire railroad, holding all other values constant) dispatching effectiveness can be increased from 71.3 to 89.5 percent—a larger increase than that realized from a reduction in latency, but at much higher cost. To quantify the dollar benefits of such an increase in dispatching effectiveness for U.S. railroads, further analyses were carried out. Based on a previous study of Burlington Northern operations, train delay costs ranged from $163/hr to $266/hr. To simplify calculations, a value of $200/hr is used. According to U.S. railroad statistics, there are about 21 million train hours of traffic each year. Benefits available from installing communications-based train control are calculated in terms of additional train minutes per route kilometer available with an increase in dispatching effectiveness based on this analysis. Based on this analysis, it should be possible to save (1 − 0.713/0.813) or 12.3 percent of total train hours. The benefit of this would be $200 × 0.123 × 21 × 10 or $520 million annually. The Association of American Railroads has estimated the cost of positive train control for the entire U.S. railway network to be between $843 million and $1.1 billion.

Coastal Strip

Kenya's coastal strip has not yet developed a tourism product beyond the three Ss (sun, sand, and sea). Consequently, Kenya's coastal tourism has been regarded as "tired" and less competitive product in today's marketplace. This is despite the coastal strip boasting of rich untapped heritage tourism potential. Thus, even though heritage tourism has gained attention in academia and generated a growing body of literature, its application as a value-addition strategy has hardly been investigated. This study explored how Kenya's coastal tourism destination, with a declining touristic appeal, can be incentivized using heritage to stimulate an enhanced tourism experience. The study conveniently sampled seven heritage sites at the Kenyan coast. Within the sites, a site manager/representative and a tour guide were purposely sampled. In total, 15 heritage site managers and 10 tour guides participated in the study through unstructured in-depth interviews. Systematic literature review as well as field observations were also done. The article argues that traditional coastal tourism products can be enhanced through heritagization to spur sustainability. The study concludes that for Kenya's coastal tourism to rebound, beach tourism cannot continue to be a stand-alone tourism product. Instead, heritage sites need to be integrated into the existing beach tourism offer to create a holistic presentation of Kenya's coastal destination with enriched customer experience.

As an island state with about 900 miles of coastline, Sri Lanka is endowed with a large natural resource: its 720 miles of sandy beaches. The coastal zone is under stress by a burgeoning population, living in the coastal belt, and a variety of other demands with conflicting interests. Due to natural causes and interference of men, erosion is a serious problem in the densely populated southwest part of the island. This paper describes the principal characteristics of the coastal environment and discusses the nature of some of the basic problems. In the recommendations, emphasis is placed on the setting up of an organizational structure to study the problems, both in the field and in the laboratory, with respect to the management aspects in the coastal zone.
