Though measuring and monitoring tourists' responsible behavior is considered as a key indicator of assuring Responsible Tourism (RT), it is highly ignored in most of the tourist destinations in Bangladesh. Hence, this research aims at investigating how responsibly the tourists behave in the context of an ecotourism destination, Saint Martin Island, Bangladesh. To address the research aim, this paper follows the quantitative research approach where both primary and secondary data are used. The study employed 18 RT behavioral traits under five broad themes to measure Responsible Tourist Behavior (RTB). The findings show that there exists a positive significant relationship between RTB and behavioral trait themes (environmental, economic, cultural, development and promotional, legal and ethical behavioral traits). It is also found that the tourists are very careless about using usual tourist path, local tourist guide, creating noise and wearing local dresses but they play a significant role for the promotion and development of the destination during their visit.

Marketing means the strategies and tactics an organization undertakes for attracting consumers to promote the buying or selling of a product or service. Active marketing is about receiving messages from potential buyers to create ways to influence their purchasing decisions. Advertising is one of the most prominent marketing strategies to promote products to consumers. It is well known that advertisement has a significant impact on the sale of certain goods or services. In this paper, we consider two mediums of advertisement, such as Facebook (which is an online medium) and Newspaper (which is a printed medium). We consider a dataset representing the advertising budget (in hundreds of US dollars) of an electronic company and the sales of that company. We apply the quantitative research approach, and the data which are used in this research are secondary data. For analysis purposes, we consider a statistical tool called simple linear regression modeling. To check the significance of the advertising on sale, definite statistical tests are applied. Based on the findings of this research, it is observed that advertising has a significant impact on sales. It is also showed that spending money on advertising through Facebook has better sales than newspapers. The finding of this research shows that the use of computer-based technologies and online mediums has a brighter future for advertising. Furthermore, a new statistical model is introduced using the Z family approach. The proposed model is very interesting and possesses heavy-tailed properties. Finally, the applicability of the proposed model is illustrated by considering the financial dataset.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh kegiatan budidaya tambak udang terhadap ekosistem mangrove dan memberikan rekomendasi terhadap pengelolaan ekosistem mangrove kedepan. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah kombinasi penelitian kuantitatif kualitatif. Jenis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data sekunder. Data sekunder yang dimaksud adalah luasan mangrove pada waktu yang berbeda, luasan budidaya tambak pada waktu yang berbeda, perkembangan volume produksi budidaya tambak, dampak lingkungan, ekonomi dan sosial akibat degradasi ekosistem mangrove. Sumber data sekunder diperoleh dari hasil penelitian terdahulu yang sesuai dengan topik bahasan dalam penelitian serta publikasi dari instansi terkait. Metode pengumpulan data penelitian ini adalah studi pustaka kemudian dianalisis dengan metode analisis data sekunder secara deskritif dan dipresentasikan dalam bentuk tabulasi dan grafik. Dampak yang timbul akibat degradasi ekosistem mangrove adalah: (1) Terjadinya erosi garis pantai dan sempadan sungai; (2) Sedimentasi; (3) Pencemaran; (4) Berkurangnya fungsi ekologi dan secara langsung akan mempengaruhi fungsi ekonomi dengan berkurangnya jumlah tangkapan nelayan; serta (5) terjadinya intrusi air laut. Implikasi pada sosial ekonomi adalah ketahanan pangan menjadi rawan dan tingginya perpindahan penduduk untuk mencari sumber mata pencaharian lainnya. Rekomendasi kebijakan untuk memperbaiki ekosistem mangrove dan mengurangi dampak adalah melakukan rehabilitasi ekosistem mangrove dengan melibatkan masyarakat secara aktif dan melakukan praktek perikanan yang berkelanjutan sebagai contoh menerapkan perikanan organik yang saat ini menjadi dasar untuk pembelian ekolabeling sebagai bentuk peningkatan sertifikasi sebagai komoditas ekspor serta pembentukan ekonomi baru yang kreatif dalam pemanfaatan mangrove seperti ekowisata, penyediaan warna alami untuk batik dan pembuatan olahan makanan.Title: Impact of Shrimp Fish Pond towards to Mangrove EcosystemThe objectives of this study are to identify the impacts caused by shrimp fish pond activities on mangrove ecosystem and provide recommendations for the management of the future mangrove ecosystem. The research approach used a combination of qualitative quantitative research. The type of data used in this study is secondary data. Secondary data consist of the extent of mangroves at different times, the extent of fish pond at different times, the development of the volume of production of fish ponds, environmental, economic and social impacts due to the degradation of mangrove ecosystems. Secondary data sources were obtained from the results of previous studies in accordance with the topic of discussion in research and publications from relevant agencies. The method of collecting data in this study is a literature study and then analyzed by descriptive secondary data analysis method and presented in the form of tabulations and graphs. The impacts arising from the degradation of the mangrove ecosystem are (1) the occurrence of shoreline erosion and river boundaries, (2) sedimentation, (3) pollution, (4). reduced ecological functions and will directly affect economic function by reducing the number of fishermen’s catches and (5) the occurrence of seawater intrusion. The implications for socio-economic conditions are food security is vulnerable and the high population movement to find other sources of livelihood. Policy recommendations to improve mangrove ecosystems and reduce impacts are to rehabilitate mangrove ecosystems by actively involving the community and carrying out sustainable fisheries practices as an example of implementing organic fisheries which is currently the basis for purchasing ecolabeling as a form of increasing certification as export commodities and forming a new creative economy in the utilization of mangroves such as ecotourism, providing natural colors for batik and making processed foods.

This research explores the determinants of executive compensation in South African state-owned enterprises (SOEs). A quantitative research approach wasfollowed and secondary data analysis was carried out. The target population consisted of 222 executives in 21 SOEs. This research has shown that the size of the organisation, type of industry and job function can be considered significant and positive determinants of executive compensation in South African SOEs. The findings of the present research also show that demographic characteristics are not significant determinants of executive compensation and should therefore not be taken into consideration when determining executive compensation in South African SOEs.
