Aplikasi Pertimbangan Wisata di Pulau Lombok dengan Metode Fuzzy Mamdani & Algoritma Genetika

<p class="Abstrak">Pulau Lombok memiliki pariwisata berupa keindahan alam dan kebudayaan yang menarik, sehingga juga mendapat tiga penghargaan pada <em>World Halal Tourism Awards</em> 2016 dengan faktor pertumbuhan kunjungan wisatawan sebesar 13% pada tahun tersebut. Adanya sebuah aplikasi yang dapat membantu wisatawan dalam menentukan keputusan perjalanan wisata mereka adalah wajib. Aplikasi ini dikembangkan dengan logika <em>Fuzzy</em> Mamdani dan Algoritma Genetika dengan tujuan memberikan rekomendasi pariwisata.Logika <em>Fuzzy</em> Mamdani memberikan pertimbangan wisata berdasarkan 5 parameter (anggaran, rencana perjalanan, akomodasi, makanan dan minuman, serta biaya transportasi) yang kemudian menjadi 5 fungsi keanggotaan untuk membangun kombinasi aturan pada fuzzy dan menghasilkan keluaran berupa pertimbangan wisata, yaitu: Tidak Memungkinkan, Cukup Memungkinkan, dan Memungkinkan. Kombinasi lima fungsi keanggotaan tersebut, menghasilkan 10.080 aturan, yang digunakan untuk mengetahui seseorang memungkinkan, atau tidak untuk berwisata ke pulau Lombok dengan <em>constrain</em> parameter yang dimiliki, yang dibangkitkan dengan menggunakan fungsi Defuzzifikasi <em>Mean of Max</em> (MOM). Algortima Genetika digunakan dalam memberikan alokasi penggunaan budget yang optimal dalam berwisata di Pulau Lombok.Hasil pengujian dengan perhitungan manual dan model defuzzifikasi yang berbeda memiliki akurasi 100%. Untuk implementasi Algoritma Genetika, aplikasi memperoleh alokasi anggaran optimal pada <em>probabilitas crossover</em> (pc) dan probabilitas mutasi (pm) dengan (pc) 0,7 dan (pm) 0,2.</p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p class="Abstrak"><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Abstract"><em>Tourism in Lombok has an interesting culture, it makes Lombok got three awards at the 2016 World Halal Tourism Awards and became a growth factor for tourist visits by 13% that year.

Toward contextual understanding: antecedents of work-family interface in India

PurposeThe current study examined cultural (diffuse orientation), organizational (organizational work-family climates) and individual (role centrality) antecedents of key work-family (WF) experiences (WF conflict, WF enrichment and WF boundary management) in India.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data were collected from 586 white-collar employees in India. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.FindingsAnalyses revealed interesting culture-specific insights into the WF dynamic. For example, less demarcation between WF boundaries (diffuse orientation) did not increase WF conflict, but significantly fostered WF enrichment, challenging the findings in the Western cultural contexts. A supportive organizational WF climate was found to be a crucial factor that alleviated WF conflict, whereas greater investment in work role led to greater WF enrichment.Research limitations/implicationsThis study addresses a dearth of research on antecedents of WF interface that simultaneously examines the positive and negative aspects of WF interface. It also advances the WF literature by generating empirical evidence related to the cultural dimension of diffuse orientation.Originality/valueThis study provides a holistic view of WF interface in the Indian context by incorporating various antecedents in one model.

Visitors’ Perceptions towards Traditional and Regional Products in Trabzon (Turkey) and Podhale (Poland)

Gastronomy tourism is defined as a type of tourism that deals with the relationship between food and beverages and culture in the context of the local culinary culture. Local dishes, recipes, and culinary culture, which express the lifestyle of cities, are an important part of tourists’ choice of destinations. According to many studies undertaken in recent years, tourists have seen an increase in the number of trips conducted to taste a cultural dish and to learn cooking techniques and cooking skills. In this study, the Trabzon (Turkey) and Podhale (Poland) regions were selected as a study area. These regions are characterised by unique, very interesting culture and art and, especially, folklore. The cuisines from Podhale and from the Trabzon region are equally attractive. The study was conducted on 151 people in Trabzon and 102 respondents in the Podhale region. The study revealed that only 15 out of 253 respondents had not heard about regional and traditional products. The authors analyzed whether people from different age groups had specific habits concerning the place of purchasing regional products in the analysed regions of Poland and Turkey. Regarding the question of whether the motivation to buy regional products was the same in households with a larger and smaller number of residents, it was found that only one correlation proved to be statistically significant: the correlation between household size and buying regional products because of their price.

Proizvodnja kamilice (Matricaria chamomilla L.) kao poduzetnička prilika

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is a widespread herb since it grows on different types of soil making it an interesting culture for intensive production. Increasing demand for medical herbs as well as chamomile launches entrepreneurial ideas that need to be checked through market analysis, technical equipment analysis, agrotechnics analysis and economic analysis for efficiency of the business venture. The aim of the paper is to identify the meaning of entrepreneurship in chamomile production, analyse input and output prices, and establish technological procedures for expected production results and economic efficiency. In this paper, analytical procedures are applied for determining the economic efficiency of chamomile production as an entrepreneurial opportunity. The first part of the paper contains the recommendation of agrotechnics that is necessary to gain the expected yields in chamomile production. It was found that chamomile is drought tolerant, grows on very poor soils, enriches the soil with humus, improves soil structure, and does not require use of plant protection products or special previous crop. The second part of the paper consists of analytical methods used for checking entrepreneurial idea in order for the chamomile production to really become an entrepreneurial opportunity. The results of the analysis confirm economic (1.31) and profitable (23.72%) production. Positive financial results can be achieved with relatively low investment, and chamomile production has a total assets profitability of 31.09%. By planning and analysing, entrepreneurs can acquire a complete information database for achieving the economic efficiency of the business venture

Importance–performance analysis as a strategic tool for tourism marketers: The case of Taiwan’s Destination Image

Today’s travelers, facilitated by increased leisure time, rising levels of disposable income and more efficient transportation networks, have the means to choose from among this much larger variety of destinations. As a result, tourism marketers are now faced with influencing consumer decision-making in an increasingly complex and competitive global marketplace. The purpose of this study is to engage discussion of different perceptions of travel to Taiwan particularly as a travel destination. It also will try to understand tourist’s grievances and shortcomings of Taiwan as a travel destination and attempt to offer suggestions on improving these things. This study investigated international perceptions of Taiwan as a tourist destination and examined holistic attributes of a destination according to positive and negative contexts to determine the relation between travel customer satisfaction and travel attribute importance and performance. We also researched the level of difference in the perceived travel attributes of importance and performance as an indicator of service quality strengths and weaknesses. Our study results reveal the overall image of Taiwan to be a fun, free, hospitable place with friendly locals and an interesting culture. Climate, opportunity to increase knowledge, safety, political stability, relaxation, and scenery all scored as positive aspects of Taiwan. Free elicitation also corroborates this with the top four physiological attributes as friendly, fun, safe, and relaxing. Taiwan could use these attributes to its marketing advantage.

En rammefast filmskolekultur

Om dogmer på Den Danske Filmskole A firmly framed Film School Culture: About The dogma of The National Film School of DenmarkThis article is dealing with the fact that culture is not only something we can study through a tradition of cultural studies. In a much younger and less explored field we find a growing interest in studying the way culture is established in different organizations. I introduce theories from this field and employ The National Film School of Denmark as an illustration of an organization that has developed a certain kind of culture based on a mix between trust and restrictions. In explaining the use of restrictions further, I introduce and elaborate on the educational term ‘scaffolding’. Through the use of several levels of scaffolding – in the learning methods and in the way the Film School is organized – this organization has created an interesting culture that produces innovation in new Danish film. My point is elaborated with help from Barry Schwartz, an American psychologist and author of the book The Paradox of Choice (2004). His research and my article are helpful for understanding how the use of scaffolding can reduce stress and complexity and thereby produce good results within the culture of an organization like The National Film School of Denmark.

Tracing the Big Five in parents' free descriptions of their children

Because of the impressive replicability of the Five‐Factor Model (FFM) in adult personality psychology, developmental psychologists have recently begun a search for the antecedents of these five adult dimensions in childhood. The FFM originates in rating scales applied to ‘personality words’, notably adjectives, selected from dictionaries. To test the explanatory power of the FFM as a model for individual differences in childhood, we used a different source for the lexicon of personality. Parents of children aged 3, 6, 9, and 12 years were asked simply ‘to describe your child’. The audiotaped interviews were transcribed literally and then coded using an elaborate coding scheme. We here describe data from three of the countries involved in this cross‐cultural project (Holland, Belgium, and Greece). The data are the results of coding free descriptions for a total of 186 3‐year‐olds and 229 9‐year‐olds. These data represent the first phase of a four‐phase project that includes researchers from The Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Poland, Germany, the USA, and China. Results from this first phase were very similar over the participating countries although there were some interesting culture‐specific differences. In the second phase, questionnaire items based on the free descriptors in each category of the coding scheme will be written by the research teams. Such items will be rated by new samples of parents. Factor analyses will reduce the item pool to about one hundred items. These will then be given to new samples of parents of children of the ages indicated above. In the last phase, the factor structures will be compared across cultures and be analysed for their resemblance to the FFM, as well as other models of the structure of temperament and personality in childhood.
