Many coastal areas and infrastructure suffered from unprecedented hazards such as storms, flooding, and erosion. Thus, it is increasing the vulnerability of urban coastal areas aggravated with the absence of coastal green infrastructure. Given the state of coastal environments, there is a genuine need to appraise the vulnerability of coastal cities on the basis of the latest projected climate scenarios and existing condition. Hence, to asses, the vulnerability level of Mataram coastal, the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) accompanied by pre-assessment of readiness to climate disruption. The CVI used to map coastal into five classes of using GIS. As a case study, this approach applied to Mataram City: one of the tourism destinations in Lombok. Two of sub-districts in Mataram City, Ampenan and Sekarbela, laying in the shorelines have undergone coastal flooding and erosion. One of them, Ampenan sub-district, experienced flooding due to river-discharge and became the most severe location during inundation. Results indicated that along ±9000 meters of Mataram coast possess vulnerability level in moderate to very high-risk level. The assessment also showed that sea-level rise is not the only critical issue but also geomorphology and shoreline changes, the existence of green infrastructure, also human activity parameters took important part to be assessed.

The quality of a Software Requirements Specification (SRS) is measured in terms of quality properties such as completeness, conciseness, consistency and understandability. In general, evaluation of the SRS quality is done manually during review sessions. The evaluation process, however, is hugely dependent on the expertise of human experts i.e. the reviewers. In fact, the judgment of the human experts could also be inconsistent due to various factors including experience, knowledge and domain. The objectives of this study are to (1) identify feasible rules to measure SRS quality; and (2) help requirements engineer to improve their SRS quality. In this study, we analyzed SRS quality properties from the literature and identified quality factors that are feasible to be automated. From here, we identified two types of properties that are (1) requirements sentence quality (RSQ) and (2) requirements document quality (RDQ). For each of the type, its relevant quality indicators were identified. From here, rules on how to identify the quality indicators were further investigated and documented. As a case study, we implemented SRS Quality-Checker tool concept for demonstrating how the rules were implemented to measure the SRS quality

The median filter is used to reduce the effect of noise, but it treats all pixels, whether they are noise points or not, which negatively affects many non-noise values in the digital image, and the negative effect increases as the noise ratio increases. In order to get rid of some of the disadvantages of the median filter, we will present in this research paper a detailed study that works on treating the unaffected and infected pixels so that this treatment leads to improving the performance of the filter by raising the values of the quality factors of the filter. The improvements added to the median filter will raise the efficiency of the noise reduction process, especially for high noise ratios.

Do Major Sports Events Enhance Tourism Destinations?A growing number of destinations are utilizing sport events as a strategic tool for revitalizing and re-qualifying themselves. The aim of this paper is to explore the value of sport events in enhancing the "quality" (in terms of image, tourist attractiveness, quality of life, etc.) of a tourist destination. This assessment is based on a case study analysis regarding the effects of sport initiatives adopted by a number of cities and countries in Italy, Europe and worldwide. The findings suggest that sport events can have different implications for host destinations: from fostering an economic and social urban "regeneration", to putting a city on a worldwide tourist map, or even changing the unequal participation of a country in the global economy.

Tourism activities are considered, among others, the backbone of the local economies. However, tourism activities lead to adverse environmental impacts, especially in coastal zones. Coastal areas are considered and recognized as of strategic importance due to the fact that several activities take place, from leisure to business. At the same time, coastal areas are under pressure from tourist activities, and the waste generated is a very serious issue. Therefore, there are limited studies related to the environmental dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic in the coastal environment. This paper provides answers to the hypothesis that the pandemic lockdown scenario would improve environmental performance due to reduced usage and, therefore, waste, taking into account specific key performance indicators (KPIs) as these KPIs are used to evaluate the performance of an area. The results showed that the study area improved, as did the selected KPIs, i.e., clean coast index (CCI), waste accumulation rate (WAR), and waste accumulation index (WAI). Additionally, according to the final results, the concentration of micro-, meso- and macroplastics on the beach reduced, and the main issues remained the solutions on cigarette butts, straws, and other plastic containers. Furthermore, the final results are considered very useful to local authorities, stakeholders, consultants, policymakers, and any other competent authorities, to reschedule their waste management strategies, to improve waste infrastructures and their level of services (LOS), as well as, to suggest frequent awareness-raising activities to their visitors on how to protect the coastal environment, taking into account a pandemic scenario, as well as, the policy alternative impacts on EU coastal zones 2000–2050.
