The Impact

Transport is an integral part of tourism and the latter would not function without the development of the former. The issue of transport accessibility is of particular importance, when it comes to both reaching an area and the possibilities for moving around within it. A lack of convenient transport possibilities diminishes the tourist potential of a given area. Public transport is essential in naturally-valuable areas. Because of the massive development of tourism and its negative effects on the environment, sustainable development principles assume importance and questions arise regarding the limits of tourism’s development. The aim of this paper was to answer a specific question of relevance to the above, i.e. does the regression of public transport in the naturally-valuable areas that are Poland’s Low Beskid (Beskid Niski) and Bieszczady Mountains lead to unsustainable development? The authors carried out a questionnaire survey and analysed changes in the public-transport network between 2019 and 1990. Questionnaires were addressed to tourists visiting these mountains and included questions on accessibility to these mountain regions in the first place, as well as the possibilities for moving around within them. A database of public-transport timetables (valid as of the beginning of 2019) was created to analyse connections on an average working day, as well as during the weekends or holidays that are of special importance from the point of view of tourists. The survey results suggest that we may be dealing with the phenomenon of forced motorisation in tourism. In the case of the Low Beskids, and especially the Bieszczady Mountains, we can talk about a certain impoverishment of the offer regarding transport, with this ensuring – even during the holiday season – that tourists are forced to use private cars both on their way into the mountains and while travelling around within them. The interest tourists show in the Low Beskids, and especially the Bieszczady Mountains, has increased very markedly over the last 30 years. Unfortunately, the development of the offer as regards public transport has not merely failed to match that, but has followed an opposing trend. Scheduled bus and minibus services have stopped reaching many mountain villages. While these still reached many destinations as of 2019, they did so less often, or were confined to school days, hence implying a basic unsuitability for use in tourism. The role of rail transport in the studied area is marginal. Overall, the results obtained mediate against any possibility of truly sustainable development of transport in the area under study. Nevertheless, with a view to such a model for sustainable transport in the area studied being provided, the authors have sought to make certain recommendations. A favourable situation as regards this tourist region’s accessibility by public transport from places of residence is of course a precondition for any decision-making choice when it comes to selecting modes of travel that potential or actual tourists are in a position to make. Furthermore, direct connections will be important conditioners of desirable decisions, as will be timetables better tailored to the particular needs of tourists. As regards the making of transfers, greater frequency of connections and shorter travel times are further favourable aspects. On the other hand, it is important that the impact of individual motorisation around tourist destinations (or whole regions) should be limited, with this achievable where overall priority is assigned to scheduled public transport (as inevitably enjoying partial support from regional authorities).

Despite the rapidly growing expenditure on digital advertising, the effectiveness of the functioning of the digital advertising ecosystem is becoming less and less visible. This is related to the fact that only a small part of the expenditure incurred by organizations on various forms of digital advertising brings the expected results. For several years now, a phenomenon that stifles the effectiveness of the digital advertising ecosystem and deteriorates the ROI (return on investment) of advertisers has been the widespread practice of blocking advertising, known as ad-blocking. In this context, the aim of this article is to analyze the scale of the phenomenon of ad-blocking and its causes in terms of its impact on the effectiveness of the functioning of the digital advertising ecosystem and its sustainable development, which is extremely important from the point of view of the development of electronic commerce. In order to carry out this study, a literature analysis was conducted on the genesis of this phenomenon, its scale, causes, and economic effects. After this stage of research, in order to obtain primary data, a questionnaire survey was conducted on a group of individual Internet users. The results of the research indicated three main reasons for the development of ad-blocking. These are: excessive number of advertisements, their excessive invasiveness, and the mismatch between the advertisements displayed to the user and the user’s interests. In the context of these results and of the continued sustainable functioning of the digital advertising ecosystem, it is essential that the advertising industry be able to offer users alternatives to ad-blocking that they consider valuable from their own point of view and that take the users’ expectations into account.

The Impact

Coastal areas and other tourist destinations are popular with ‘day trippers’, who have a substantial effect on local tourism economies and may help to stabilize seasonal demand fluctuations. However, day trippers can also accelerate resource degradation, burden municipalities with higher policing and maintenance costs, and create image problems. Daytona Beach is a destination for which day tripper visitation generates both positive and negative effects which local policy makers need to assess. Analyses of what influences beach area selection, frequency of visitation and party size, and annual per capita spending are used to shed light on public policy issues such as restricting beach driving and an over-dependence on events-based tourism.

China’s “industrial restructuring” has expanded the proportion of the tertiary industry in the economy and promoted the development of local tourism. The ongoing “industrial structure upgrading” is intended to make the industry bigger and stronger, which will promote the growth of local tourism. As a tourist resort, nature reserves have been attracting a large number of tourists and have great development potential and economic value. Under this situation, various management agencies of nature reserves have successively carried out tourism activities and carried out tourism development and construction. However, there is no doubt that both tourism activities and development will have an impact on the ecological system of nature reserves. The existing legal system of nature reserves in China emphasizes the prohibition of behaviors that directly destroy the ecological environment and ignores the impact of human tourism activities. The continuous increase in the number of tourism in our country, brought on nature reserves of rich tourist income at the same time, a large number of facts show that tourism has become a source of environmental pollution, so it is necessary for tourism environmental pollution the main way to do a summary and its particularity, summing up the basic law of tourism affect the environment, thus provide the basis for strengthening the environmental protection from the point of view of tourism management. The emergence and development of tourism culture is inseparable from the influence of the environment, and tourism culture also affects the environment. The negative effects and negative effects of tourism culture development on the environment are becoming more and more evident, which has aroused people’s general concern. In recent years, the negative impact of tourism and cultural activities on the environment has been paid much attention to by many scholars at home and abroad. This paper discusses the impact of tourism activities on nature reserves, and discusses the causes of this problem, so as to analyze the strategies to ensure the harmony and order of nature reserves in tourism activities.

The article discusses the changing of the lifeworld under the influence of virtualization, the dominant tendency of the modern digital era. The main aim is to analyze the transformations of the lifeworld in the virtualization of human being, which determines the formation of a new sociocultural paradigm. The authors solve a twofold problem. Firstly, the semantic connotations of the concept “lifeworld” are restored from the point of view of the historical and philosophical tradition. A significant place is given to the conceptual analysis of the positions of E. Husserl, M. Heidegger, A. Schütz, J. Habermas and others. Secondly, they reveal the ontological, anthropological and axiological refractions of the lifeworld due to its fusion with the virtual environment. The methodological strategy is based on the potential of multivariate analysis, which includes a quadriga that combines objectivity, processuality, projectivity and environmental characteristics. The specific features of a virtualized lifeworld are analyzed taking into account the findings of both modern Western researchers: J. Sullins, S. Mehdizadeh, V. Miller, A. Clark, and Russian ones: M. Antipov, A. Voiskunsky, V. Volkov, I. Kasavin, N. Motroshilova, D. Martyanov, N. Smirnova, Zh. Toshchenko, V. Fedotova et al. The focus is on such phenomena of the virtualized lifeworld as “content viewers”, “digital skills”, knowledge rental, “double update”. In describing the contours of the new paradigm, attention is drawn to the replacing of being with its virtual counterparts, creating quasi-events that accompany the constitution of a “different order” of reality. The authors substantiate an ambivalent assessment of the virtualization of the lifeworld, taking into account its positive and negative effects. An analysis of the transformations of the lifeworld in modern conditions is concretized by considering the impact of networked computer games on human consciousness, and shows a decrease in the meaningfulness of actions, the violation of identity and the illusion of the denial of mortality. The authors come to the conclusion that the virtualization of the lifeworld sets other sociocodes, transforming the entire system of connections and relations. Its ontological projection indicates the construction of a “different being” rather than an “everyday life” with significant temporal changes and a new kind of digital alienation. Anthropological transformations are caused by the emergence of a new form of sociality – the sociality of the network, a request to improve digital skills that ensure existence in the digital world. A digital person is associated with the need for a “double upgrade” and can position a completely different identity. Axiological transformations testify to the deformation of conceptual thinking, to the design of new criteria for success and forms of motivation, to the self-sufficiency of network communication.

Abstract The aim of this study is to identify the impact of visual management on achieving a sustainable development from the point of view of the employees at Basheer Alseksak & his Partners’ Company. To reach to the wanted aim, the descriptive approach has been used. The study population consists of the (68) administrative workers at the company’s main branch at Gaza city. The researchers have used the comprehensive survey and a questionnaire as the tools of the study. Fifty (50) valid refunds have been recovered (73.5%). The results of the study have showed that there is a statistically significant effect between the visual management (the fixed variable, the strategy of developing the rules of working, the cleansing strategy / diagnosis) and the sustainable development. In addition, it has showed that the strategy of eliminating the waste has a weak effect, i.e., it does not affect the sustainable development. The study has firstly recommended the need to reduce the obstacles that impair the possibility of implementing the visual management strategies in the plant. This step would promote the sustainable development and progress in all areas. Secondly, the contribution at Arab programs to combat the poverty, reduce the level of unemployment, and enhance some employment opportunities at the community in coordination with the relevant parties. Finally, the development and enhancement of the participation in the community at the national and regional levels.
