“…Furthermore, it can help the elaboration of policy planning strategies on pondering whether the medium to high tourist potential commune need further development or if the approach should be to grow interest and development in less significant and low tourism potential rural areas [69]. Through the assessment of tourist resources and facilities, local governments can relocate funds [22] for the low potential tourism communes which can bring about a balance for the peripheral communes, especially, and thus a more sustainable consumption throughout the entire rural OMA. It is obvious that the higher potential OMA commune can better cater to the demanding tourists needs, but the lower tourist potential communes can complement the OMA tourist by offering authentic experiences [70] given by the traditional lifestyle or ethnic communities as proposed for the communes belonging to the marginal community tourism models.…”

“…Buhalis (2001) [21] refers to the supply side as a factor of competitiveness. It is important to make an assessment of resources for helping local governments make decisions on allocating resources for sustainable tourism development with a view to tourism planning [22], in order to determine the value of attractions and hierarchize them [23] or as a necessary step in order to know the potential of relevant resources before marketing the destination [24]. Thus, the tourism potential assessment is important with a view to planning, publicity, investment, and management.…”

Oradea Metropolitan Area as a Space of Interspecific Relations Triggered by Physical and Potential Tourist Activities

Metropolitan areas provide many opportunities to spend quality outdoor leisure time as well as to discover many cultural attractions. Sprawl occurs in Romania quite rapidly, encouraged by the construction of ring roads around many cities and their expansion into metropolitan areas. The current paper aims to identify metropolitan tourism models based on which tourist flows can be sustainably reoriented within rural Oradea Metropolitan Area (OMA) given their the tourist potential level (i.e., very low, low, average, high). The tourist potential was scaled based on the Methodology for the Analysis of a Territory’s Tourist Potential, which stands as a law published in the Official Monitor of the 14th of June 2016. The study indicates that most tourist activity develops in the OMA southern part in Sânmartin commune, thus unsustainably capturing all tourist flows of the rural OMA. Natural and man-made tourist attractions’ territorial concentrations were emphasized in the communes from the south and northern OMA, but there are major territorial dysfunctions in terms of technical endowment and tourist infrastructure supply. The three emerged models refer to the medical–recreational and eco–residential wellness network, discovery eco-holiday, and co-visit and marginal community.

“…As in analytical methods, in this case, different evaluation techniques are also used to perform the calculations. For example, multiple response models (Kuo and Wu, 2013;Pariente et al, 2016;Sánchez Rivero et al, 2016), SWOT analysis (Collins-Kreiner and Wall, 2007), etc. In addition, it is usual to incorporate criteria related to the characteristics of the resources as a complement to the tourists' preferences and as a weighting factor for determining the final touristic potential, which would be defined in this case as a synthesis between preferences and intrinsic characteristics of the resources (Kresic and Prebezac, 2011;Castillo Coy, 2015;Darabseh et al, 2017;Jiménez Meseguer and Morales Yago, 2018).…”

This work analyzes an inventory of the touristic resources of the province of Burgos (Spain) and identifies with it the municipalities with the greatest touristic attraction, thus identifying the target points that facilitate the planning of the fieldwork process to obtain the opinion of tourists. To provide an analytical approach, this study adopts a quantitative technique by constructing a weighted synthetic index following a hierarchical process. The results show that the province of Burgos stands out for its high natural or landscape heritage, with access through minor roads and with a high offer of hotels and rural houses as well as restaurants and cafeterias. Fairs declared of interest, access by rail and the offer of hostels, apartments and campsites offer fewer outstanding values. The work proposes the realization of around 383 observations in each of the eight target points identified. The results obtained are clear enough to motivate decision-makers to address their efforts and investments in improving and adjusting their strategies to increase the quality of offer and demand in the touristic sector.

“…According to studies carried out by the author of this paper, some other researchers have addressed the issue of differences in the perception of reused cultural heritage, but these studies concerned other implications, e.g. evaluation of the opinion of employees in the tourism sector and tourists about tourism sustainability and their suggestions for improvements (Brcar and Colarič-Jakše, 2017), residents' appreciation of cultural heritage on the example of Amsterdam (van Leeuwen et al , 2013) or assessing of the potential of cultural heritage attractions by surveying visitors (locals as well) who have visited these attractions to verify the positioning of tourism development and to prioritize the resources for enhancing these attractions (Kuo and Wu, 2013). Another study which was addressed to the local community and tourists regarded various aspects of sustainable development (Idilfitri, et al , 2015).…”

PurposeThe purpose is to show the results of research on sociocultural impact – as one of the pillars of sustainable local development which can be stimulated among others by immovable cultural heritage. The research concerned two groups of respondents: the local community, which does not directly use heritage re-adopted to commercial functions and the community using the heritage in a direct way.Design/methodology/approachSurveys and in-depth interviews were used for the study. Two groups of respondents were surveyed: direct users of immovable re-adopted heritage who have the possibility to use it directly by buying services offered in the studied heritage and the local community representatives for which access to the re-adopted heritage is limited.FindingsIn the case of heritage re-adopted to commercial functions, there are differences in sociocultural impact. The very presence of heritage and only awareness of its existence in a given area is not enough for creating a sociocultural function by it in some aspects. Such heritage does not use its potential fully.Practical implicationsResults of the study may be taken into account by some stakeholders in the case of giving heritage resources contemporary functions especially commercial ones (owners of re-used cultural heritage resources, representatives of local authorities as well as entities responsible for the protection, appropriate use of cultural heritage resources and decision-making processes) to eliminate negative or insufficient effects in creating the sociocultural function of heritage in sustainable local development.Social implicationsSuggested actions undertaken on the basis of this research can increase the impact of immovable cultural heritage adapted for commercial purposes on a larger range of beneficiaries especially the local community. Hence, the extent of such heritage's impact on the sociocultural pillar of sustainable development would increase.Originality/valueSo far, studies on the differences in the sociocultural impact of immovable cultural heritage adapted to commercial, contemporary functions on direct users and no-direct users have not been conducted. Results obtained by this study supplement a certain gap regarding the sociocultural impact of heritage resources on this two groups of stakeholders: groups that have direct access to the heritage resource and groups that have no access to them or this access is limited.
