“…Historic districts are certain historical and cultural heritage areas featuring distinctive social and economic traits, lifestyles and local elements of historical origination (Lu et al, 2015). European historic city centers have been identified as one of the core parts of European cultural heritage (Skotis & Livas, 2022).…”

“…These are cities with vast concentrations of tourism traffic and tourism hotspots on a relatively small surface of central, historic quarters (Amore et al, 2020). The old cities are usually well-preserved districts giving visitors not only the possibility to see monumental, often medieval, buildings but also the experience of immersion in a historic ambiance (Skotis & Livas, 2022). The old cities are also usually inscribed in the UNESCO List of World Heritage, which underlines their historical value.…”

Purpose This paper aims to check if destinations with powerful similarities also show similar tourism/overtourism effects that differentiate them from other destinations. This paper gathers and compares data on overtourism in European historic cities already presented in the existing literature and points out features and problems typical for these destinations. Design/methodology/approach This paper was based on the systematic literature review method, which allowed the author to indicate the most commonly studied European historic cities and the characteristics of overtourism problems. Findings The results of this study reveal that several European historic cities share similar tourism development patterns and the overtourism problems manifest numerous similarities. Significantly, these problems are characteristic of historic cities only and partially different from those observed in European urban destinations such as metropolises. Research limitations/implications This study enhances a proper understanding of overtourism and the contradictory results published in the existing literature. This study is the first step in building a more situational approach to overtourism and adjusting the theory to particular destinations' features. Practical implications The outcome of this study offers local policymakers several hints regarding effectively facing the overtourism problems. Historic cities require special attention when actions toward lowering extreme tourism pressure in monumental zones are implemented and residents' concerns about the spread of tourism, including short-term listings, to residential quarters need to be addressed. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study based on a comparison of similar destinations aimed to develop theory and practical implications devoted purely to a limited number of destinations sharing numerous similarities. The set of coherent theoretical and practical implications designed for a narrow group of cities is to be an essential contribution to the development of research and practice in urban tourism.

“…12.2), located in Trastevere area, one of the city's most characteristic and dynamic districts. Trastevere is characterized by anthropic discomfort under several aspects -intense traffic in the main roads and overtourismand microclimate discomfort especially in summer (Skotis and Livas 2022). Since its foundation under Pope Callixtus I, the Basilica has undergone a series of restoration and renewal interventions, such as the construction of the portico based on a design by Carlo Fontana, or demolition works and reconstruction from scratch of the floor plan by the architect Virginio Vespignani (Pittaccio and Ricci 2013).…”

“…Furthermore, it measured the algorithm skill to form compact clusters, achieved through iterative data point assignment to clusters and updating of cluster centroids, which reduced the within-cluster sum of squares (WSS) in k-means clustering. To determine the optimal number of clusters, WSS, AIC, and BIC could be used [43]. AIC or BIC was used to assess the cohesion strategy and the clustering outcome for each statistical model.…”

Technological progress has brought about modifications in the educational process. This transformation has led to numerous technological innovations for supporting student learning, with smartphones being one of the prominent tools. Despite the widespread use, students have primarily used smartphones for online gaming and social media, leading to a decline in the effectiveness for educational purposes. Therefore, this study aimed to explore how students in electronics engineering education responded to a novel technology, augmented reality (AR), when integrated into the fundamental learning process, in order to maximize the utility of smartphones. A cross-sectional survey approach with a quantitative methodology comprising 101 students in the field of electronics engineering education in higher education institutions in Indonesia was adopted. Data were collected through a questionnaire, which was subsequently analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method with SmartPLS 3 software. Additionally, this study used Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering method to examine the influence of each cluster values on the others. The analytical results showed that Computational Thinking Skill (CTS) of students significantly impacted Actual System Use (ASU) of AR. Furthermore, perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEU) of this technology played crucial roles as mediators in ASU of AR.
