“…Therefore, a group of 25 experts (fifteen tourism authorities and ten scholars) were selected as panel members based on their skill, knowledge, and experience in the subject area with the aim of developing the study. In the first round the panel was asked to select the indicators they considered affected by historical-cultural tourism in Kerman from the checklist (the model proposed by Choi and Sirakaya, 2006). According to Hsu and Sandford (2007), in the first round of the Delphi process format, using a structured questionnaire which is based upon an extensive review of the literature is both an acceptable and a common modification.…”

“…So in any sustainable development framework, the conservation of built heritage is considered vital (Doratli, Hoskara & Fasli, 2004) because of its role in marking the cultural and historic identity of an area. In addition to the three dimensions noted above, political and technological dimensions have been discussed in the works of some scholars (Hall, 1994;Hwansuk & Sirakaya, 2006;Choi & Sirakaya, 2006) but these two are not investigated in this study. Manning (1999) noted that WTO aimed at identifing a small set of indicators for each sustainablity dimension which can be probably used in almost any situation as well as enhancing them with supplementary indicators found to be useful in particular ecosystem or types of destinations.…”

“…Many scholars tried to set indicators for sustainable development and its dimensions. Amongst them, Choi and Sirakaya (2006) explored on finding the most important sustainability indicators for community tourism from a wide range of perspective. Therefore, the indicators found in their study have been used as the basis of the present study.…”

Sustainable development has been recently one of the essential subjects in tourism debates. In order to have sustainable tourism in a destination, both visitors and local community must understand and follow the rules of sustainability while different types of tourism in the destination should be considered as well. This study investigates on historical-cultural tourism in Kerman city in Iran to find out how this type of tourism has affected the city's sustainability with regard to sustainability indicators. A model has been used based on the work of Choi and Sirakaya (2006) who investigated on sustainability indictors for community tourism. Economical, social, cultural and environmental dimensions have been used as the criteria for measuring sustainability. Delphi technique was used as the method of this study for structuring a group communication process. After four rounds of discussion with the study panel, the most affected indictors of each dimension were addressed by them. Results showed that historical-cultural tourism in Kerman have influenced employment, income, nature of demand, host and tourist attitude toward tourism development, community health, cultural site management and education, loss of renewable and non-renewable resources, and health of human population.

Textile production in developing countries is known to be associated with significant environmental, social, and economic challenges. Existing research has mostly focused on singular aspects of sustainability, while no consensus exists on the importance and applicability of sustainability indicators. To address these gaps, this study utilized an integrated approach involving the Delphi method and the fuzzy best‐worst method (BWM) to develop a comprehensive framework by identifying and formulating sustainability indicators tailored for the textile industry in developing countries and assess their importance and applicability. Through three consecutive rounds of Delphi, a total of 64 sustainability indicators were identified (16 economic, 24 environmental, and 24 social indicators). Next, fuzzy BWM was employed to determine the importance and applicability of these indicators. The results show that (a) environmental indicators overall have higher applicability scores, (b) the top three critical indicators were raw material usage, operational costs, and fuel consumption, and (c) nearly half of the indicators (29/64) were deemed highly applicable, with 34.5% (10/29) of these falling under environmental, 34.5% (10/29) under economic, and 31% (9/29) under social dimensions. Finally, the utility of the framework is demonstrated through an empirical case study in a textile manufacturing company in Nigeria.
