“…Similarly, destinations such as Barcelona, New York, Paris, Bangkok and Dubai are adversely affected by this situation. In addition to the number of tourists, excessive accommodation, transportation and other recreational initiatives seriously damage the carrying capacity of the destination [80]. At this point, Cracolici and Nijkamp [81] support this study by presenting results indicating that destinations that do not pay attention to their tourism carrying capacity will lose their attractiveness over time.…”

Large investments made because of high tourism revenues in touristic destinations can threaten balanced growth, ecological sensitivity and sustainable tourism principles. To raise awareness of this situation and draw attention to unsustainable tourism approaches, this study is presented with the situation approach method. The main purpose of this research is to determine the negative effects of unsustainable tourism approaches in tourist destinations. In this context, case studies are frequently used and are the preferred qualitative research method. The Historical Peninsula of Istanbul, Bodrum, Uzungöl and Hasankeyf, which will be examined in line with the principles of sustainable tourism, are understood to be damaged in four basic categories: unplanned construction, sound pollution, exposure to environmental destruction and overtourism pressure. The results of unsustainable tourism approaches are seen in these regions, which are more and more negatively affected by the increasing number of tourists and unconscious tourism policies. Contrary to scientific studies that generally focus on sustainable tourism policies, this study reveals the mistakes made with case approach evidence and develops some ideas for the solution to the problem. It also has remarkable results in terms of showing the obstacles in front of sustainability.

“…In contrast, the pronounced block-like carbon clusters in industrial production villages reflect the interconnectedness of mixed-use units, as seen in Xiao et al [60]. Tourism service villages manifest the highest emission fluctuations, underscoring the volatile nature of the tourism industry and its susceptibility to seasonality and events [61]. Interestingly, E-commerce operation villages, despite being a relatively new typology, illustrate moderate spatial carbon emission tendencies and minimal seasonal fluctuations, reflecting the largely stable operational pattern of E-commerce, save for promotional events [62].…”

With the progression of novel urbanization, rural regions are increasingly characterized by mixed-use features, where work and living activities intersect, resulting in a significant surge in per capita carbon emissions. This research article aims to elucidate the spatio-temporal relationship of carbon emissions in rural areas and their association with mixed-use intensity from a sustainable development perspective. For the study, we selected four of the most representative mixed-use village types in the Yangtze River Delta region. Using the STING method, each rural space was delineated into micro-level mixed-use units. Subsequently, a quantitative evaluation model was constructed to gauge the relationship between mixed-use intensity and carbon emissions. This was complemented by employing GIS simulations to analyze the spatio-temporal attributes of carbon emissions in mixed-use villages. Our findings indicate that (1) different types of villages display considerable disparities in mixed-use intensity and carbon emissions. Their correlation also varies significantly, with traditional agricultural villages exhibiting the lowest values of 0.338 and 0.356, while E-commerce-centric villages recorded the highest at 0.674 and 0.653. (2) The carbon emissions of rural units manifest diverse patterns that include dispersed distribution, core aggregation, linear decay, and dissipative fragmentation. These correspond to traditional agriculture, industrial production, tourism service, and E-commerce villages, respectively. (3) The carbon emissions of mixed-use villages exhibit cyclical fluctuations over time, with different magnitudes observed across villages. Traditional agricultural villages display the smallest fluctuations (within 30%), while those centered around tourism services can experience fluctuations exceeding 150%. Building on these insights, we delved deep into the challenges faced by each village type in enhancing the quality of work and living while concurrently achieving energy conservation and emission reduction. Based on these aspects, we propose a sustainable low-carbon development pathway tailored for mixed-use villages.

Impact of water–tourism–ecosystem nexus on the sustainable development of eco-city

Tourism places substantial stress on regional land use that can lead to ecological deterioration, greater pollution, destruction of natural habitats, and increasing threats to species already in danger of extermination. Improved quality of life is made possible through the Fuzzy Hamacher Correlated Geometric (FHCG) method to observe the growth of multiple attributes in a water-based leisure tourism eco-city. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, land use maps, and an executive segment satellite image are the main areas of attention for eco-cities as the main focus, which are supported by ecology and environmental space. Hence, FHCG-GIS has designed an environmental carrying capacity in eco-cities that can be increased through tourists who can be accepted in a specific location to fulfill the needs of water tourism, help the destination sector, protect the environment, and reduce the effect. A sensible outcome for evaluating the planning conditions in an eco-city can be found in the estimated indicators of water leisure tourism environmental carrying capacity, predicated on an analysis of scenic geographical resources and tourism economic conditions, and the results of the scenic area's integrated limits using barrel extrapolation.
