“…Effects remained consistent outside of the lab setting and at different time points, like the ones registered for psychological distance. A case study conducted by Coghlan (2020) explored a ‘‘build your own reef’’ game with tourists, using VR to simulate an immersive, 3D underwater seascape. In this simulated environment, tourists could emulate a reef they had previously seen, building it up while recognizing the marine elements, like corals and fishes that they had already seen, and trying to know them while answering questions about the marine life that they experienced.…”

Sustainability research has emerged as an interdisciplinary area of knowledge about how to achieve sustainable development, while political actions toward the goal are still in their infancy. A sustainable world is mirrored by a healthy environment in which humans can live without jeopardizing the survival of future generations. The main aim of this contribution was to carry out a systematic mapping (SM) of the applications of digital technologies in promoting environmental sustainability. From a rigorous search of different databases, a set of more than 1000 studies was initially retrieved and then, following screening criteria based on the ROSES (RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Syntheses) procedure, a total of N = 37 studies that met the eligibility criteria were selected. The studies were coded according to different descriptive variables, such as digital technology used for the intervention, type of sustainable behavior promoted, research design, and population for whom the intervention was applied. Results showed the emergence of three main clusters of Digital Technologies (i.e., virtual/immersive/augmented reality, gamification, and power-metering systems) and two main Sustainable Behaviors (SBs) (i.e., energy and water-saving, and pollution reduction). The need for a clearer knowledge of which digital interventions work and the reasons why they work (or do not work) does not emerge from the outcomes of this set of studies. Future studies on digital interventions should better detail intervention design characteristics, alongside the reasons underlying design choices, both behaviourally and technologically. This should increase the likelihood of the successful adoption of digital interventions promoting behavioral changes in a more sustainable direction.

“…The limitation of this research emphasizes the endeavor to design a database for marine tourism. While creating such a database is integral to enhancing the accessibility and organization of information for tourists seeking marine recreational activities, challenges persist in its implementation [17]. The primary constraint lies in marine environments' dynamic and ever-changing nature, necessitating continuous database updates and maintenance to ensure accuracy and relevance [18].…”

The research addresses the growing need for efficient management of marine tourism activities in Indonesia, explicitly diving, snorkeling, and fishing. With the rapid expansion of marine tourism, there is a pressing need for innovative solutions to streamline information dissemination and enhance tourist experiences. This study proposes the development of a database and information system utilizing the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology to cater to the diverse needs of tourists engaging in marine activities. The Rapid Application Development approach comprises requirement planning, user design, construction, and cutover phases. Oracle Apex serves as the primary instrument for database design and system development. The findings suggest that implementing digital innovation in the form of information systems and databases significantly enhances the tourist experience in marine tourism destinations. Integrating GIS technology enables the visualization of location maps and valuable information, enriching the user experience and facilitating informed decision-making processes. Test results indicate that the application functions optimally and can be utilized effectively for destination management in Indonesia, emphasizing the practical implications of digital innovation in the tourism sector. In conclusion, designing and implementing a database and information system for marine tourism activities offer substantial benefits for destination management and tourist experiences in Indonesia. This research underscores the importance of technological advancements in optimizing destination management and fostering sustainable tourism development in coastal regions.

Several factors contribute to the importance of designing a coral monitoring system. Firstly, coral reefs are ecologically crucial ecosystems, providing habitat for numerous marine species and supporting biodiversity. Therefore, monitoring coral reefs is essential for understanding population dynamics and ecosystem health. Secondly, coral reefs are vulnerable to climate change, pollution, overfishing, and human activities. With a monitoring system, we can identify factors damaging coral reefs and take necessary prevention or restoration actions. Thirdly, coral reef monitoring aids in informing policies and sustainable resource management. By comprehensively understanding coral reef conditions, we can develop more effective management strategies to protect and preserve these ecosystems for future generations. This research aims to design a coral monitoring system to identify factors contributing to coral reef degradation. The method employed is Rapid Application Development (RAD), with stages including requirement planning, user design, construction, and cutover. The findings of this study indicate that the application can meet user needs. The findings of this research emphasize the urgent need for the development and implementation of coral monitoring applications as a strategic step toward reducing environmental degradation for ecological sustainability. The research underscores the critical role of monitoring tools in assessing and mitigating the impacts of human activities and environmental stressors on coral reef ecosystems through comprehensive data analysis and evaluation. This highlights the importance of proactive measures to address the increasing threats facing coral reefs and emphasizes the significance of technological innovations in facilitating practical conservation efforts.
