At the current level of economic development, the digital transformation of society is an important factor in advancing any social structure. The purpose of the present study was to explore the transformation of a traditional society into a digital one, with a focus on ethical and environmental aspects. The study draws on a variety of information analysis methods to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of digitalization, including the environmental aspect. Our research revealed that in Russia, the only highly digitalized sectors were information technology and finance. Digitalization is strikingly different in the European countries, where only transport and building industries slowly implemented digital technologies into their business processes. We also examined digitalization levels in 7 Moscow universities. The universities managed to improve their digitalization scores with the help of recommendations developed for online learning, such as selection of quality software, having qualified teaching staff, constant monitoring, and evaluation of knowledge. The findings can be used in economic, social, and environmental spheres since they highlight the ambiguous effects of digitalization using practical examples.

“…Dolayısıyla bu araştırma, gelecekte de trend olma potansiyeli taşıyan Ye-Dua Et-Sev akımının turizm alanyazınında dönüştürücü turizm kapsamında araştırılabileceğini ortaya koymaktadır. Dönüştürücü turizm açısından yabancı literatür incelendiğinde, pek çok çalışma olmasına karşın (Fu, Liu, Li, Wang ve Li, 2022;Bueddefeld ve Duerden, 2022;Harrill, Cárdenas ve Dioko, 2022;Punzón, 2021;Richardson ve Insch, 2021;Robinson, 2021;Teoh, Wang ve Kwek, 2021;Vidickienė, Gedminaite-Raudone, Vilke, Chmielinski ve Zobena, 2021), yerli literatürde sınırlı sayıda çalışma (Özçelik ve Ömüriş, 2020) olduğu görülmektedir. Literatür incelendiğinde, gastronomi turizminin "dönüştürücü turizmin ana unsuru" olabileceği gibi (Robinson, 2021), dönüştürücü turizm sonucunda turistte meydana gelen değişimler (yiyeceklere karşı önyargının azalması, önceden tüketilmeyen yiyeceklerin satın alınmaya ve tüketilmeye başlanması) gibi "dönüştürücü turizmin çıktısı" (Pala ve Çetin, 2022) Bu araştırma birçok araştırmada olduğu bir dizi sınırlılığa sahiptir.…”

ÖzetBu çalışma, 2006 yılında kitap olarak basılan ve 8 milyonun üzerinde satış hacmine ulaşan, ardından 2010 yılında sinema filmi olarak vizyona girerek 10 milyondan fazla satılan Ye-Dua Et-Sev kitabından hareketle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yazar Elizabeth Gilbert'in İtalya, Hindistan ve Endonezya'ya yaptığı seyahati ve bu seyahat boyunca deneyimlediği içsel yolculuğuna ilişkin anılarını kaleme aldığı kitabı, ortaya çıkarmış olduğu gastronomik ve turistik deneyimlerden hareketle 2022 yılı turizm trendleri arasında gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmada sistematik alanyazın derlemesi yönteminden hareketle Ye-Dua Et-Sev felsefesinin ortaya çıkışı, turistik seyahatlerdeki yeri ve turizm araştırmaları açısından geleceği ele alınmıştır. Elde edilen derleme bulguları ve Ye-Dua Et-Sev turizm trendinin kavramsal altyapısını oluşturan dönüştürücü turizm yaklaşımından hareketle gelecekteki turizm temelli çeşitli akademik araştırmalar için yeni bir model önerisi sunulmuştur. Sonuç olarak gastronomik deneyim, dönüştürücü turizm deneyimi ve iyi oluş değişkenleri çerçevesinde eşiktelik (Ye), doruk deneyim (Dua Et) ve davranışsal değişiklik (Sev) safhalarını içeren turizm trendinin teorik ve operasyonel çıktılarının tartışılabileceği bir model ileri sürülmüştür.

The knowledge, perception, and behavior of young people toward ecotourism are important for the sustainable development of this sector. The purpose of this research is to evaluate and analyze the knowledge of young Romanian students about ecotourism and the main ecotourism destinations in Romania, their behavior in relation to the practice of this form of sustainable tourism at the local level in the last 2 years (2020 and 2021), and people’s use of the Internet for planning holidays and digital applications while traveling in nature. A quantitative research was conducted based on a self-administered questionnaire, structured in 13 sections on ecotourism, to which were added the sociodemographic data of the respondents. The conclusions of the research are that young people know well the main ecotourism destinations in Romania; they choose them according to the beauty of the landscape, multitude of outdoor activities, and the hospitality of the hosts. In the last 2 years of the pandemic, young people have visited several times the main existing ecotourism destinations locally, with an average vacation duration of 1–3 days. The Internet remains the main source of information, and in the field, they use mobile applications that allow the download of digital maps and recognize different plant species. By integrating various activities in nature, in close connection with the local culture, ecotourism can contribute to the sustainable use of local tourism resources. This study provides a detailed and realistic picture of the knowledge and the type of ecotourism experience that young people want. The implications are theoretical and managerial, highlighting the importance of assessing the preferences of young ecotourists, as a basis for developing ecotourism strategies, sustainable use of local tourism resources, and management of protected areas.
