“…EFA is a statistical model that shows the relationships between a set of variables and patterns between latent and observed variables, while identifying the number and composition of the essential variables for describing the total variance (Luarte-Martínez and Astudillo Díaz, 2017). EFA pursues the following purposes (Pett et al., 2003; Taherdoost et al., 2014; Thompson, 2004): Reducing the number of factors (variables); Assessing multicollinearity among the correlated factors; Describing the unidimensionality for the constructs’ evaluation and detection; Evaluating construct validity in the surveys; Examining the relationships between or structure of the factors (variables) involved; Developing theoretical constructs; Proving the proposed theories. …”

The hospitality industry has undergone significant developments as new modes of environment-friendly tourism and hotels have emerged (including ecotourism, eco-hotels, ecolodges, and green hotels). These new features, however, have not been specifically investigated, especially in a considerably potential tourist destination like Iran. This study sought to develop a model for identifying and prioritizing the indicators that could determine the ecological features of hotels. Following a systematic review, exploratory factor analysis and analytic network process were used to construct a hybrid model and its elements were then prioritized in five-star hotels in the Fars province, Iran. The model consisted of five dimensions (totally including 19 indicators), namely “energy,” “ecological adaptation,” “materials and equipment,” “foods and drinks,” and “cultural-economic activities.” The findings revealed that the “energy” dimension was significantly important, while indicators such as “effective use of water,” “supply and efficient use of energy,” and “use of renewable energies” were the most important indicators, respectively. The results of this study can encourage managers/practitioners in hotel accommodation to concentrate on the indicators that could promote the ecological level of hotels. In doing so, they can consider energy, foods, and beverage indicators in developing green hotels and implement appropriate accommodation with ecotourism standards to attract (inter)national tourists.

“…• E-services can be defined as consumer-driven services that are delivered over the Internet [16,17]. The concept of an 'e-service' has been used in several areas, including e-health, e-education, and e-government [18]. It is assumed that e-services benefit people in two ways: [18] (i) by enabling to people to interact with each other by using computer-based applications that are independent of geographical and time limitations, for example, the ability for remote monitoring, and (ii) by making it possible to transfer knowledge via electronic channels, without human interference, i.e., e-learning.…”

Background: It is assumed that e-services support persons with disabilities in their everyday life by improving communication and interaction with healthcare organizations and whilst facilitating their social inclusion. Aim. The aim of this study is to examine the contribution of e-services in terms of how they diminish barriers and constraints on social inclusion. Method: A literature review was performed, covering the period between 2010 and 2016 (6 years). Only studies that discussed the social inclusion of people with disabilities or presented prototype solutions to this problem were included. Results: The results of this study show that there is a lack of theoretical framework which can be used to measure the effectiveness of the e-services or innovations in the area of e-services in the contexts that were examined. The existing research studies are normally generic and do not discuss whether the requirements that are imposed on a particular e-service differ depending on (i) type of disability, (ii) the ICT-maturity or skill of the end-user, or (iii) context in which the e-service will be used. In general, previous research in this area claims that e-services do assist people with disabilities access to society (defined as the community in which they live), even when no evidence is actually presented about the impact such services have in this area of the end-user's life. Conclusion: The results of the present study present us with new knowledge about the types of ICTbased innovations and e-services that have been proposed to facilitate the social integration of people with disabilities.

“…On the other point of view, user acceptance is very important to the successful implementation of any new technology [11]. Additionally, it is significant to note that technology's features play a vital role in determining whether individuals involved in an activity will use it or not [23].…”
