“…Numerous studies in the field of hospitality and tourism industry have been actively investigating the solutions for the sustainable and pro-social transformation of post-pandemic tourism activities, within the contexts of festival tourism and rural tourism (Chi and Han, 2021;Chi et al, 2021a). Likewise, the investigation of the sustainability of heritage tourism is also a hot research topic (Mohanty et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2020;Zheng et al, 2020;Hosseini et al, 2021;Singh, 2021). In the social dilemma of the pandemic, tourists are more willing to consume tourism products and services that are beneficial to their physical and mental health (Koh, 2020;Singh, 2021).…”

This study aimed to explain the development of tourists’ pro-social intentions during heritage tourism within the pandemic context by combining the norm activation model (NAM) and two significant variables in the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The quantitative data analysis results indicated that the proposed hypotheses have been partially supported, which resonated and enriched the existing studies on COVID-19-related pro-social tourism and tourist behaviors from a theoretical angle. Based on the research outcomes, the corresponding managerial implications for heritage tourism practitioners and meaningful references for future researchers to promote sustainable and pro-social heritage tourism products have been discussed.

“…These four themes show that current research on biodiversity conservation and nature tourism sustainability directly contributes to achieving UN SDG goals-Goal 14: Life Below Water (the "Oceans' goal") and Goal 15: Life on Land. The research also looked for the roads towards SDGs for preserving heritage and sustainable communities (SDG 11), more effective institutions (SDG 16), and fair and non-hegemonic partnerships throughout the whole world (SDG 17) [31].…”

“…The need of mitigating overtourism in PAs is a trigger facilitating the emergence of a research trend for a comprehensive investigation of issues implied by uncontrolled visitation to PAs. Research into identifying carrying capacities and outlining codes of conduct for tourists, as have been highlighted above, is trending and focuses on finding optimal spatiotemporal management patterns (choreography and chronography) of visitor flows [31,61,65].…”

The rationale of this article is the need to elicit the trending themes relevant to the latest research on biodiversity conservation and tourism sustainability. Hence, the purpose of this study: stocktaking of cutting-edge research articles in this field and eliciting the critical trends and issues shaping the knowledge, future research, and technical development perspectives on biodiversity conservation and tourism sustainability. The focus is on the trends, which are pivotal for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals until 2030. A hierarchical cluster analysis was undertaken with a KH Coder 3.0 tool to elicit topical co-occurrence networks for thematic words in academic papers from 2015 to 2020 on the topic, quarried from Google Scholar. The article’s main findings are the seven identified major trending research themes on biodiversity conservation and tourism sustainability: (1) Community-based tourism development; (2) National Park management for tourism; (3) Sustainable tourist motivation; (4) Biodiversity conservation and ecotourism; (5) Landscape and land use changes; (6) Visitor satisfaction monitoring; and (7) Ecotourism modelling. The article’s main conclusion is that the criteria and conditions for responsible low-key tourism in protected areas, both for biodiversity and local communities, are pivotal factors to consider for future research on biodiversity conservation and tourism sustainability.

“…Sustainability is a concept that helps establish resilient systems and increases adaptability to change, durability, and the possibility to remain diverse and productive over time. It also explains the means for stabilizing human needs across time [3], and requires economic efficiency [4], a socio-ecological perspective [5], and strong environmental protection policies [6].…”

Impact of Environmental Pollution in the Sustainability of Architectural Heritage: Case Study from Cartagena of India, Colombia

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Limited studies have been carried out in emerging nations on the correlation among the environmental pollution, economic factors, and architectural heritage. For this reason, this research presents an assessment of environmental parameter values on materials deterioration used in architectural heritage in Cartagena de Indias; furthermore, it depicts the effect of heritage degradation on socioeconomic aspects of people whose livelihood depends on trade, tourism, and service activities. Dose-response functions were used for estimating of deterioration of carbon steel, copper, and zinc caused by relative humidity (RH), temperature (T), sulphur dioxide deposition (DSO2), and chloride deposition (DCl−). In addition, socioeconomic impact on architectural heritage was studied using a Socioeconomic Impact Survey (SEIS), with the sample of 174 individuals who work in areas of great architectural value in the city. The results show a corrosion rate (Vcorr) in the range of 80 < Vcorr < 200, 2.8 < Vcorr < 5.6 and 4.2 < Vcorr < 8.4 μm/year for carbon steel, copper, and zinc, respectively, due to the high level of pollutants. The high deterioration jointly with the lack of citizen culture affect the architectural heritage monuments causing a negative impact in several economic aspects. The establishment of public programs is essential for the conservation of the heritage monuments of the city.
