Sustainability Indicators for Tourism Destinations: A Complex Adaptive Systems Approach Using Systemic Indicator Systems

Corporate Sustainable Development: Testing a New Scale Based on the Mainland Chinese Context

“…A number of taxonomies describe ENV, ranging from reactive to proactive approaches (Sharma and Ruud 2003). In most cases, the reactive approach involves actions that could reduce the environmental impact of products and services or dispose of waste responsibly (Hart 1995;Schianetz and Kavanagh 2008), whereas the proactive approach requires alternative production processes that could reduce waste and emissions (Bansal 2005). Such alternative processes include using less traditional fuels (Lindgreen et al 2009), reducing the impact on animal species and natural habitats (Rueda-Manzanares et al 2008), and the like.…”

A critical evaluation of sustainable tourism from the integrated perspective: Conducting moderated–mediation analysis

“…In the subsequent twenty years, studies focused more on rural tourism and ecological tourism (Lane, 1994;MacDonald & Jolliffe, 2003), and they only gradually extended to tourism with respect to sustainability. The common research subjects include the impacts of tourism (Hunter, 2002), evaluations and indicators of sustainability (Schianetz & Kavanagh, 2008), sustainable development (Sharpley, 2000), tourists' behaviors and attitudes (Budeanu, 2007;Choi & Sirakaya, 2005), and sustainable tourism planning (Bahaire & Elliott-White, 1999;Page, 1997). Ruhanen, Weiler, Moyle, and McLennan (2015) noted that the largest proportion of studies published on sustainable tourism included case studies, empirical studies, and critical reviews.…”

“…Sustainable tourism focuses on the balance of the Triple Bottom, i.e., among environment, socio-culture and economics (Long, Vogelaar, & Hale, 2014;Torres-Delgado & Palomeque, 2014). To promote the concept (or program) of sustainable tourism in different countries, studies have focused on evaluating the positive (or negative) impacts regarding environmental, socio-cultural and economic respects of specific regions (Hunter, 2002;Ross & Wall, 1999;Schianetz & Kavanagh, 2008). Additionally, evaluations from the residents' perspectives can strengthen the importance of cooperation among the local community, residents and government (Choi & Sirakaya, 2005;Hunt & Stronza, 2014).…”

Environmental and Cultural Implications of Visitor Access in the Kimberley Region, Australia

“…Consideration of the social and cultural contexts, equally to the consideration of environmental and economic aspects, is fundamental to the sustainability of naturebased tourism (Fortin & Gagnon 1999). Indeed, there is an increasing recognition that tourism occurs in a complex system that should not be viewed in isolation from social and ecological components (Schianetz & Kavanagh 2008;Dredge 2006;Strickland-Munro et al 2010). The concept of 'healthy country' in the indigenous Australian context crosses physical and metaphysical boundaries and thus enters a space were subjective values are no less important than objective measures.…”
