In the process of globalization, the integration of world tourism is becoming more and more obvious. With the rapid development of China’s tourism industry, Tourism in many provinces and cities has become a pillar industry or key industry, The various risks it faces are also gradually highlighted. Driven by regional economy, the capitalization operation of national culture is considered to be an effective way to protect national culture and develop economy in ethnic areas. However, national culture has brought many social problems in the process of concrete operation. This paper discusses the realistic dilemma of cultural capitalization in the tourism development of Miao villages in Xijiang, This paper points out that only by clarifying the relationship between the stakeholders in the operation of cultural capital and further clarifying the marketing strategy of cultural capital operation can we ensure the sustainable development of national culture capitalization.

The rapid development of tourism has brought us great economic benefits. However, more and more negative effect on ecology has begun to emerge with large resources and energy consumption. At present, how to improve harmonious development of tourism economy and ecological environment has been a study focus. The mathematic model of the relationship between tourism economy and ecological environment was constructed in this paper, in order to achieve an empirical analysis on the harmonious development of tourism economy and the ecological environment in Harbin City from 2000 and 2010. The results shows that the alternative augmentation of tourism economy and the ecological environment has improved from being slight disorder to being primary coordinated. The tourism economy and the ecological environment share a positive interaction and harmonious development with a coupling coordination. Nevertheless, the level of coupling degree and coordination is still too low. And some countermeasures should be taken to promote the sustainable development of tourism.

The rapid development of the tourism industry has been accompanied by an increase in CO2 emissions and has a certain degree of impact on climate change. This study adopted the bottom-up approach to estimate the spatiotemporal change of CO2 emissions of the tourism industry in China and its 31 provinces over the period 2000–2015. In addition, the decoupling index was applied to analyze the decoupling effects between tourism-related CO2 emissions and tourism economy from 2000 to 2015. The results showed that the total CO2 emissions of the tourism industry rose from 37.95 Mt in 2000 to 100.98 Mt in 2015 with an average annual growth rate of 7.1%. The highest CO2 emissions from the tourism industry occurred in eastern coastal China, whereas the least CO2 emissions were in the west of China. Additionally, the decoupling of CO2 emissions from economic growth in China’s tourism industry had mainly gone through the alternations of negative decoupling and weak decoupling. The decoupling states in most of the Chinese provinces were desirable during the study period. This study may serve as a scientific reference regarding decision-making in the sustainable development of the tourism industry in China.

AbstractThe rapid development of the tourism industry in mountain areas has resulted in intense changes in land use structure and exerts a strong influence on terrestrial ecosystems. This paper takes Luanchuan County (typical mountainous terrain in western Henan Province, China) as an example and employs land use data from different times and spaces and the binary logistic method to study tourism land spatial variation and influence factors in mountain areas. The research shows that: (1) spatial variation in land use in scenic spots reveals a chain reaction of land use type transformation caused by construction land expansion, a key driving force of spatial variation in land use and land use type transformation, and (2) the changes in tourism land use types result from human utilization and development of land for economic benefits. The key influence factors of spatial variation in land use are altitude; gradient; and the distance to rivers, highways and villages. (3) A plan of tourism land management and control should be established with construction land as the key indicator.

Tourism industry has been put within potentially fragile environment such as coral reefs, mangroves, and polar areas, and has become one of the major factors shaping landscape and sea in coastal zones. In order to improve the sustainable development of coastal tourism, there is a need to focus on the negative effect of tourism on environment in coastal zone. The aim of this paper is to examine this prior researches related to this topic. The study revealed that the environmental impacts caused by tourism can be seemed as a complex system including diverse internal and external interacted factors, and the relationships between coastal tourism and environment adapts over time in different stages of coastal destination development.

The interest in harnessing wind energy keeps increasing globally. Iceland is considering building its first wind farms, but its landscape and nature are not only a resource for renewable energy production; they are also the main attraction for tourists. As wind turbines affect how the landscape is perceived and experienced, it is foreseeable that the construction of wind farms in Iceland will create land use conflicts between the energy sector and the tourism industry. This study sheds light on the impacts of wind farms on nature-based tourism as perceived by the tourism industry. Based on 47 semi-structured interviews with tourism service providers, it revealed that the impacts were perceived as mostly negative, since wind farms decrease the quality of the natural landscape. Furthermore, the study identified that the tourism industry considered the following as key factors for selecting suitable wind farm sites: the visibility of wind turbines, the number of tourists and tourist attractions in the area, the area’s degree of naturalness and the local need for energy. The research highlights the importance of analysing the various stakeholders’ opinions with the aim of mitigating land use conflicts and socioeconomic issues related to wind energy development.

Saltwater intrusion risk assessment is a foundational step for preventing and controlling salinization in coastal regions. The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) is highly affected by drought and salinization threats, especially severe under the impacts of global climate change and the rapid development of an upstream hydropower dam system. This study aimed to apply a modified DRASTIC model, which combines the generic DRASTIC model with hydrological and anthropogenic factors (i.e., river catchment and land use), to examine seawater intrusion vulnerability in the soil-water-bearing layer in the Ben Tre province, located in the VMD. One hundred and fifty hand-auger samples for total dissolved solids (TDS) measurements, one of the reflected salinity parameters, were used to validate the results obtained with both the DRASTIC and modified DRASTIC models. The spatial analysis tools in the ArcGIS software (i.e., Kriging and data classification tools) were used to interpolate, classify, and map the input factors and salinization susceptibility in the study area. The results show that the vulnerability index values obtained from the DRASTIC and modified DRASTIC models were 36–128 and 55–163, respectively. The vulnerable indices increased from inland districts to coastal areas. The Ba Tri and Binh Dai districts were recorded as having very high vulnerability to salinization, while the Chau Thanh and Cho Lach districts were at a low vulnerability level. From the comparative analysis of the two models, it is obvious that the modified DRASTIC model with the inclusion of a river or canal network and agricultural practices factors enables better performance than the generic DRASTIC model. This enhancement is explained by the significant impact of anthropogenic activities on the salinization of soil water content. This study’s results can be used as scientific implications for planners and decision-makers in river catchment and land-use management practices.

AbstractMore than half of the European population of the Barbary Partridge is in Sardinia; nonetheless, the researches concerning this species are very scarce, and its conservation status is not defined because of a deficiency of data. This research aimed to analyse the habitat selection and the factors affecting the abundance and the density of the Barbary Partridge in Sardinia. We used the data collected over 8 years (between 2004 and 2013) by spring call counts in 67 study sites spread on the whole island. We used GLMM to define the relationships between the environment (topography, land use, climate) both the occurrence and the abundance of the species. Moreover, we estimated population densities by distance sampling. The Barbary Partridge occurred in areas at low altitude with garrigue and pastures, avoiding woodlands and sparsely vegetated areas. We found a strong relationship between the occurrence probability and the climate, in particular, a positive relation with temperature and a negative effect of precipitation, especially in April–May, during brood rearing. Furthermore, dry crops positively affected the abundance of the species. We estimated a density of 14.1 partridges per km2, similar to other known estimates. Our findings are important both because they increase the knowledge concerning this species, which is considered data deficient in Italy, and because they are useful to plan management actions aimed to maintain viable populations if necessary.

The urban fringe, as a part of an urban spatial form, plays a considerably major role in urban expansion and shrinking. After decades of rapid development, Chinese cities have advanced from a simple expansion stage to an expansion–shrinking-coexistence stage. In urban shrinking and expansion, the urban fringe shows different characteristics and requirements for specific aspects such as urban planning, land use, urban landscape, ecological protection, and architectural form, thereby forming expanding and shrinking urban fringes. A comprehensive study of expanding and shrinking urban fringes and their patterns is theoretically significant for urban planning, land use, planning management, and ecological civilisation construction.
