“…Furthermore, the myths in this paper are linked to social, health and ecological issues of wisdom. Basically, the meaning of the myth is aimed at exploring the information contained in it so that it can be understood in the context of present, such as myths in relation to the problem of social transformation, technology (Peeters, et al, 2016), economic, environmental, and political inequalities. How technology is used to improve our lives.…”

Babad Banyumas (BU) contains the facts and myths of an event that occurred in the past. BU contains facts about the establishment of the Banyumas region in Central Java and the myths surrounding the stories in it. The facts and interpretations in the BU have been widely studied by academics. On the other hand, the myths in the BU are not studied by academics yet. The myth loses its meaning when faced in this modern era. This study aims to explore the myths in Babad Banyumas. The myth is further interpreted in relation to the field of health, social and ecological wisdom in the current context. Deconstruction and qualitative method with BU text content analysis were used in this research. Data collection was done through observation and interview of some experts. Qualitative data analysis using display data, data reduction and data verification to find common themes were also used as data analysis in this research. The results of the study found that there were four myths in Babad Banyumas, namely cucumber myths, jungle fowl, pendhapa displacement, and myth of having marriage relationship with Dipayuda III. These myths include health, social and ecological wisdom messages.

“…It has been established that tourists are generally unaware about the carbon ramifications of their travel choices; furthermore, the public are generally unwilling to change their holidaying patterns and make them more climate-friendly (Cohen and Higham 2011;Gössling et al 2012;Hares et al 2010). The application of market-based tools (for instance, carbon taxes and charges) has also been reviewed as well as has the use of various technological solutions, including environment-benign aircraft design, improved air traffic management and biofuel use (Grote et al 2014;McKercher et al 2010;Peeters et al 2016). The studies have found that while these can be effective, they should be applied with caution due to the substantial political and financial implications (Kivits et al 2010;Tol 2007).…”

Tourism transportation contributes substantially to the global carbon footprint. This contribution is predicted to enlarge, especially in 'emerging' tourism markets, and hence urgent carbon mitigation is necessary. Effective mitigation is determined by reliable carbon footprint assessments whose number is however limited, particularly for developing countries with growing tourism. This study applied the life cycle assessment (LCA) based method to appraise the carbon significance of various transport modes between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the key itinerary for travel with leisure and tourism purposes by local residents and overseas visitors in Brazil. Given the envisaged rise in biofuel use in the Brazilian transportation sector, this study is unique in that it evaluated the carbon reduction potential offered by biofuel. The study demonstrated that overland public transport represents the most carbon-efficient mode of local transportation. It further highlighted the crucial role of biofuel in minimising the carbon intensity of transportation between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.Policy-making and managerial recommendations were put forward to facilitate more climatebenign local transportation practices.

“…However, given the increased ambition of the Paris Agreement, the aviation sector goal of carbon-neutral growth from 2020 and associated offsetting requirements may need to be revisited before the ambition raising review in 2020, particularly given higher end growth rates in aviation and international tourism compared to forecasts (UNWTO, 2015). It also needs to be noted that technology breakthroughs that have been regularly profiled in the media have thus far not translated into absolute emission reductions (Peeters, Higham, Kutzner, Cohen, & G€ ossling 2016).…”

Sustained international diplomatic efforts culminated in the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement by 196 countries in December 2015. This paper provides an overview of the key provisions of the agreement that are most relevant to the tourism sector: much strengthened and world-wide participation in greenhouse gas emission reduction ambitions, an enduring framework for increased ambitions over time, improved transparency in emissions reporting and a greater emphasis on climate risk management through adaptation. The declared carbon emission reduction ambitions of the tourism sector and international aviation are found to be broadly compatible with those of the Paris Agreement, however, claims of reduced emission intensity in the tourism sector since 2005 and a roadmap by which emission reduction ambitions for 2020 and 2035 might realistically be achieved both remain equivocal. The need for international tourism leadership to improve sectoral scale emission monitoring capacity to meet the increasing requirements for transparency, convene an assessment of risks from climate change and climate policy, foster greater collaboration on destination climate resilience and accelerate technological, policy and social innovation to put tourism firmly on a pathway to the low-carbon economy are all emphasized, as is the need for dialogue between tourism and tourism researchers.
