“…However, several studies on extreme sport tourism do not account for the psychological specificities of extreme sports participants (Brymer & Houge-MacKenzie, 2016). Instead, they more often address extreme sports tourism in terms of sustainability (Brymer, Downey, & Gray, 2009), environment-related motivations (Giddy & Webb, 2018), or life-style (Buckley, 2019). By not accounting for drivers related to participants' psychology, they might provide an incomplete account of behavioral consequences (Raggiotto & Scarpi, 2020).…”

“…Participant observation, as used in this study, involved observing other project participants in aspects of the implementation of the CDS such as their decisions on tasks, participants, related responsibilities, redesign of spaces, responsible departments, function and users. Participant observation also involved observing users’ actions in the CDS setting such as seat usage, noise levels and arrangement of furniture (Buckley, 2019). The author was a participant and observed the other librarians working on the space redesign project and the users’ actions in the CDS set.…”

Purpose Focusing on two particularly challenging issues facing Chinese academic libraries – space constraints and the trending of digital scholarship services, this paper aims to explore which spaces students and faculty wanted and how to leverage low-use spaces and growing digital scholarship services to build the Center for Digital Scholarship (CDS) to meet their demands. Design/methodology/approach The participant observation method was used in the launch stage of the space redesign from May 2016 to October 2018. The usage analysis method was used to reveal the use of the renovated spaces and assess the success of the space redesign when CDS was open to users between October 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018. The usage was gathered from the space reservation system. Findings A hybrid academic service center combining information commons, a collaborative workplace, social spaces and digital scholarship services, the CDS is able to meet the complexity and diversity of users’ needs and fulfill the mission of its university in the context of insufficient funds, space and specialists. While it approaches the goal of the space redesign project, some deficiencies remain to be addressed in the future design and service plan, including separating quiet and noisy areas, flexible arrangements and business process reengineering. Practical implications This study shows a hybrid academic service center can meet the complexity and diversity of users’ needs, despite insufficient funds, space and specialists. To ensure sustainability, digital scholarship services should adapt to local users’ needs and expectations. While the author’s patent service and subject development analysis are local and popular with the users and sectors in his university, they make their services somewhat different from those of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) members. Originality/value This is one of the few, recent studies on space redesign incorporating digital scholarship services in a well-known academic library in China.

“…This includes senses (Hickman et al 2018), hormonal responses (Vrijen, van Roekel, and Oldehinkel 2018), emotions (Buckley 2016;Hetland et al 2019), addictions (Buckley 2015;Heirene et al 2016) and brainwave patterns (Bailey et al 2019;Sacchelli et al 2020). Cognitive perceptual and proprioceptive components operate at timescales down to tenths of a second (Buckley 2014(Buckley , 2019aWittmann 2013), and there is a sawtooth relation between fear and thrill (Buckley 2016). Adventure tourism can lead to lifelong changes in worldview, such as a powerful appreciation for life, and the ability to overcome obstacles (Buckley 2021).…”

Tourism contributes to mental health. We could: recognize, measure, value, and market those contributions; analyze components and design products to maximize mental health benefits; and use mental health benefits in tourism industry marketing and lobbying. If we measure benefits to health-research standards, then tourism could also gain commercial opportunities within the health sector. Currently, there are widely differing bodies of evidence within different tourism subsectors, reflecting historical research emphases. Music, museums, and shopping malls have been identified as therapeutic for some. Nature tourism therapies have been tested extensively, with a higher standard of evidence. Adventure tourism has been analyzed principally from a phenomenological perspective, indicating powerful psychological effects. Many mental health therapies require continuing behavioral change. Tourism research could contribute to these therapies, since it includes detailed data on the effects of program design and guiding, and individual personalities, interests, capabilities, motivations, experiences, emotions, and satisfaction.
