“…Another research on the tourist landscape was carried out on the island of Cos, Greece, where through the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and landscape metrics, it was sought to quantitatively describe the spatial structure of the tourist landscape and to analyse the evolution of the terrain land use and occupation generated by the increase of this economic activity in the region (Gkoltsiou et al 2013). Another similar and recent reference theme it has presented in (Wang et al 2023) where the authors have applied remote sensing and GIS in Zhangjiajie, a famous mountain tourist city in China.…”

Agrotourism is one of the main economic activities in the municipality of Venda Nova do Imigrante, located in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The objective of this research was to analyse the landscape changes generated by this economic activity. The methodology’s development through a stratified random selection, the thematic quality of the maps from the MAPBIOMAS platform was assessed. A confusion matrix was produced, and the kappa coefficient was calculated. Landscape metrics, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) from Instagram and Flickr Social Networks, satellite images and free Brazilian databases were used, along with the use of open source GIS software to analyse changes use and cover of land in the municipality generated over a period of 30 years and its relationship with agrotourism. In the results, it was obtained that the thematic quality of maps from the MAPBIOMAS platform was acceptable, the analysis of VGI in social networks was identified agrotourism farms located mainly in the south-east area of Venda Nova do Imigrante, the analysis of changes in land use and cover showed that the city had an increase in urban area around the Federal Highway BR-262 that cuts through the city and rural areas, as well as in the agrotourism farms evaluated, there was an increase in agricultural areas and planted forests.

“…Remote sensing technology for monitoring has become vital in this context, as it enables spotting and assessing changes in Scientific Article ISSN: 2087-0469 vegetation indices (Zhou et al, 2023). An increase in the quantity and intensity of structures around tourism regions can result in the loss of green land or changes in the type of land cover, which can harm local ecosystems and environmental quality (Wang et al, 2023). Therefore, continuous monitoring utilizing remote sensing techniques aids in quantifying the ecological impact of land use on tourism and enables evidence-based decision-making to decrease negative impacts and enhance environmental sustainability in developing the tourism sector (Chu et al, 2021).…”

Monitoring land use, buildings, and vegetation index of ecotourism areas in North Halmahera can support planning space utilization in urban areas for tourist areas as the concept of land use management and urban planning. This study offers ideas for analyzing the distribution of buildings, vegetation index, and land use in the mangrove ecotourism area of North Halmahera Regency using the spatio-temporal analysis method. The spatio-temporal analysis method comprises several stages: data selection, preprocessing, data integration, spatial analysis, temporal analysis, spatio-temporal analysis, data visualization, interpretation and understanding, and data visualization. The results of this study show that changes in the livelihood strategy of local people, from farmers and fishermen to traders, also affect land use patterns, from agricultural activities to economic activities, which triggers an increase in the number of buildings for production activities to product distribution. The implications of these findings on ecotourism development programs and policies and infrastructure development in the North Halmahera Regency are to consider community livelihoods and space or land use behavior in ecotourism areas based on vegetation, soil, and building index values. Thus, the intensification of building distribution and changes in vegetation index values from 2013-2023 reflect changes in people's livelihood strategies from agrarian activities to trade and from fishermen's activities to tourism transportation service providers.

“…This makes it possible to manage tourism support plans for Suzhou in various zones in accordance with that type of activity efficiently. Wang et al (2023) used data from observations in the Zhangjiajie area to generate and analyze land-use changes using geo-informatics to see the surrounding effects of building growth. It can be traced that over the past 20 years, forest and agricultural areas have clearly become tourism construction land.…”

This research was conducted to develop tourist attractions, especially cultural tourism attractions in the community area around Sawaswareesrimaram Temple, Dusit district, Bangkok. The objective is to develop spatial potential by applying geographic information systems for mapping local communities in location determination, planning, and spatial development. The methodology was obtained from field surveys by recording the coordinates of cultural tourist attractions with Global Positioning System (GPS) and using geographic information systems for mapping. It also adopts the principle of analyzing the density of attractions with Kernel Density. The results reveal that there were 4 types of cultural attractions in Dusit District: Institution, Palace and Museum, Religious places, and Restaurant – Street food. The distribution pattern of most cultural attractions was in the south-western area of the study area, with the density of cultural attractions greater than 1 km2. Cultural attractions in the form of Restaurant and Street food were found to have a very high density in the Sri Yan area, showing a level greater than 1 km2 along Sam Sen road and Nakhon Chai Si road. As for Thewet district, there was a density level of 0.2-0.6 km2, which were all distributions of street food, dense at the intersection of roads. In summary, the mapping can provide local people with a tool for planning cultural sites, to enhance their livelihoods, love and cherish their homeland, and increase their income, leading to future tourism developments.
