“…This was given great importance by traditional landscape architects, but many modern landscape architects pay less attention to it. Exploring the relationship between a site's microclimate and local history and culture will greatly help improve background study, especially for tourism projects [11].…”

“…For example, the potential for cancer caused by long-term exposure to excessive ultraviolet radiation can be reduced by implementing microclimate design [10]. Fifth, the microclimate can function as an element of landscape design [11]. A site's microclimate may cause unique weather phenomena, such as icing and fog, which can potentially add a lot of interest to landscape projects.…”

Global climate change and urban heat island intensification are making many cities dangerously hot during heat waves and uncomfortably hot much of the time. Research has identified ways that urban environments can be designed to reduce the heat, but much of the information is too technical or has not been interpreted or communicated so as to be available to landscape architects. This study identifies ways that landscape architecture researchers have applied microclimate information in design to proactively create more thermally comfortable outdoor environments. A systematic review that assessed the growing recognition of microclimatic factors in design revealed four main approaches: principles and guidelines, strategies, mapping, and evaluation. The advantages and limitations of each have been noted, and a diagram has been developed that matches each approach with specific steps in the landscape architectural design process. The study also identified four areas where microclimate has potential for use in landscape architecture but that are currently not being very actively studied: modeling and visualization, education, policy, and ideation. Microclimatic design has the potential to enhance the health and well-being of the public through the design of thermally comfortable outdoor environments.

“…Researchers have argued that the functional value of traditional local cuisines includes their functional quality and price utility; their social value includes social relationship support and expressing self-image; and the emotional value of traditional local cuisines includes aesthetics and the playfulness of local cuisine providers (Henderson, 2000;Yang et al, 2019). In addition, the social costs of traditional cuisine include meal image expression and group social relationship support (Yang et al, 2019;Promsivapallop and Kannaovakun, 2019). Therefore, traditional local cuisine-valued aesthetics and playfulness will affect tourists' interactions with traditional cuisine providers.…”

Purpose This study aims to analyze the challenges facing tourism marketing, specifically traditional local cuisines. These challenges include communication with tourists, tourists' revisit behaviors mediated by place identity and perceived interactivity with service providers. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected via random sampling in Taiwan. The model and hypothesis were tested using a structural equation modeling approach. One thousand participants were invited to respond to a questionnaire. After removing those that declined to participate or returned incomplete questionnaires, 411 valid questionnaire responses were received. Findings The findings of this study provide exciting insights into how traditional local cuisine strategies affect tourists' behavior. Governments can foster a destination image with a nostalgic aesthetic to attract more tourists. Moreover, destination marketers should provide mechanisms for instant interactions for tourists, such as mobile travel apps. Research limitations/implications This research sample focuses on promoting emotional connections between tourists and the experience of traditional local cuisines at the destination. An understanding of nostalgic cuisine could provide a better understanding of why tourists are willing to engage in unique travel experiences. Practical implications Traditional local cuisine providers should consider aesthetics, including their decoration, style, and markers. Further, it is important that service staff make tourists feel comfortable and satisfied with the traditional local cuisine experience. Originality/value This study contributes to the destination marketing of traditional local cuisines from the perspective of nostalgia. The findings of this study provide interesting insights into how traditional local cuisine strategies affect tourists' behaviors.

“…This dimension includes traveling to enjoy natural scenery and attractions (Baloglu & Shoemaker, 2001; Jang & Wu, 2006; Sangpikul, 2008b); cultural and historical sites (Carneiro et al, 2013; Cleaver et al, 1999; L. Huang & Tsai, 2003); and weather and micro-climates (Horneman et al, 2002; Ward, 2014; Yang et al, 2019).…”

The global increase in the elderly population has a direct influence on the travel, tourism, and hospitality sector because senior travelers have become major consumers. Therefore, developing a deeper understanding of senior motivations for overseas travel is required. However, the presence of theoretical and practical gaps limits the comprehension of this demographic market. Thus, this research sought to identify the underlying dimensionality and measurement of senior travel motivations and developed a scale to measure them. In addition, it validated the scale across future travel behaviors and preferences for tourism types and sites. An eight-factor structure of senior travel motivations was generated. The overall construct satisfied a series of convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity tests. Furthermore, the scale demonstrated a predictive explanatory power for profiling the future travel behavior and preference of seniors.
