Systems and models of intelligent connection and interaction for society 5.0

The need to design new modes of interaction for the enjoyment of urban environments and cultural heritage includes the component related to the experiential factor, memory and the possibility of exploring the different levels of knowledge. The role of design is to visualise content and improve the sharing and dissemination of information. Starting from the analysis of the new challenges of the hyper-connected and datacentric society and of the current models and intelligent systems of advanced and interactive fruition, the contribution gives an overview of the most significant innovations that have characterized the changes in contemporary society in terms of usability and accessibility. By investigating contemporary phenomena, it will be possible to draw up a complete map of the characteristics of the approach and classification of the variables, guidelines for the design of new systems and models of connections and interactions for the intelligent and creative "5.0 Society", able to absorb innovations from the fourth industrial revolution and improve productivity in support of social problems. Over the years, digital and virtual solutions have been developed that have changed the fruition of urban environments by proposing models of "intelligent cities" that are configured as digital and flexible places. The designer, reinterpreting the technologies of interaction, reorganizes the user's skills, increasing social knowledge by changing the experiences and interpretation of urban contexts to configure new forms of "humanization".

Investigating the Tourism Experience of Thai Cooking Classes: An Application of Larsen's Three-stage Model

Cooking classes have emerged as popular activities for international tourists seeking to learn and participate in Thai culinary culture. Applying Larsen's psychological three-stage model for understanding the tourism experience, this study identifies motivational and experiential factors of tourists' participation in cooking classes, and their subsequent behavioral intentions. Drawing on functional motivational theory and Pine and gilmore's experience economy concept, a quantitative instrument is developed to survey 300 tourist participants in cooking classes in Chiang Mai, Thailand. results suggest that the top-most motivational factor for participation in cooking classes is socioutilitarian needs—a combination of social and utilitarian items, whereas the top-most experiential factor is "Ent-escapist"—a combination of Pine and gilmore's entertainment and escapist realms. The results indicate that both the motivational and the experiential facets of cooking clases are influenced by a combination of factors. These findings offer implications for the marketing of cooking class products by destination management organizations.

De la economía de experiencias al turismo experiencial. Las series de ficción como creadoras de experiencias e inductoras a la visita de destinos turísticos

We are immersed in the so -called experience economy, hence all sectors and industries look somehow affected by it. In the case of tourism is developed in parallel experiential tourism in the tourist becomes lover of emotions, feelings and experiences. On the other hand, the impact that may have on certain sectors other is a reality, not having developed independently and can cooperate in the search for beneficial objectives for both. This is the case of the audiovisual sector and the benefits it reports to the tourism sector in promoting destinations. Hence, in this investigation the role of fiction series as inducing sensations (experiential factor) while favoring visit destinations viewings there in are analyzed.

Nonlinear experiential influences on the development of fear reactions

Failure to find an obvious or linear relationship between a developmental experiential factor and a developmental outcome often leads investigators to posit concepts such as “biological preparedness” and “evolved predispositions” that allude to hypothetical geneticmechanisms that may not exist. However, experiential nonlinearities alone may explain the development of certain instinctive behaviors, as shown by studies on alarm call responsivity in mallard ducklings.
