Barapa Country through Barapa eyes
The Gunbower Yemurriki Map details important information about Barapa Country and Barapa people for the purpose of education. The Barapa are the Traditional Owners of the lands north and south of the Murray River around Cohuna, Australia and are working with natural resource agencies to identify and map cultural assets on traditional lands, particularly in relation to water resources. The Gunbower Yemurriki Map has been developed through particip…
Mapping the historical places
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is trying to build up a viable tourism industry that reflects the Islamic principles, heritage and traditions. In “Saudi Vision 2030” a special consideration has been given to develop and promote the state’s tourism, entertainment and quality of life.

Institutional approaches for building intercultural understanding into the curriculum
Australia is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world. Since World War II, seven million immigrants from more than 150 countries have settled in Australia. Since that time, Federal governmental changes to its policies on immigration has recognized the importance of cultural diversity in its population. Educational institutions have also responded by initiating a variety of strategies and developing curricula aimed at achieving eq…
Modelling tourism and hospitality employment clusters
Geographic clustering of industries for mutual economic benefit has long been recognised. The concept of 'externalities' introduced by Alfred Marshall early last century rely on agglomeration of specialised industry within a geographic area. However, only recently has cluster modelling been applied to the tourism and hospitality (T&H) industry. The aim of this paper, therefore, is twofold: first is to develop a cluster-based theoretical framework…
Petal Diagrams
As the study of cinema has increasingly turned to the examination of economic ebbs and industrial flows, rather than focussing its attention solely on the critical evaluation of the films themselves, new analytic techniques and tools have been adopted (and adapted) by film scholars. Key amongst these is the use of innovative visualization techniques that can assist in the understanding of the spatial and temporal features of film industry practic…
Laser scanning for the documentation and management of heritage sites within the Emirate of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates
The Emirate of Fujairah in the UAE has many important cultural and archaeological sites. These include the Fujairah and Al‐Bithnah forts and the Al‐Bidyah Mosque. With increasing tourism patronage and development of major infrastructure projects in and around Fujairah, these sites are increasingly under threat. Their present condition requires careful mapping for proper management and future preservation efforts. This paper presents a research pr…
Student Employability and its Implications for Geography Curricula and Learning Practices
The nature and mission of universities have changed over the past two decades. The move towards mass education with decreased levels of state support has come with greater levels of accountability to stakeholders, including students, employers and the state itself. Graduates are expected to exhibit greater degrees of employability: that is they are more likely to gain and maintain employment, and to progress in workplaces and build careers. In th…
Cultural Influence on Spatial Behaviour
This paper presents a study that investigates the spatial behavioural patterns of international tourists travelling to the City of Melbourne in Australia. It demonstrates that these behavioural patterns are influenced by the differing cultural backgrounds of the visitors. A comparative study based on Hofstede using his four cultural dimensions, power distance, individualism/collectivism, uncertainty avoidance and masculinity/femininity was used t…
City design and its relationship with tourism crimes
This study explores city level design and its relationship to crime. We perform a comparative analysis between three tourist towns and three non-tourist control towns. The results found that tourist towns had a higher percentage of arterial roads to all roads (good prospect, quick escape) and that the percentage of streets with public space was four times as high (good prospect, good refuge, good escape). The implication for this is that tourist …
The wayfinding process relationships between decision-making and landmark utility
GIS-based Modelling of Recreational Potential of Nature-Based Tourist Destinations
This paper discusses a geographical information system (GIS)-based technique to measure the recreational potential of natural tourist destinations. The technique was developed for a study area in western Victoria, Australia, known as the Grampians National Park (GNP), a popular natural tourist destination. Regression modelling was used to develop a set of predictors of scenic attractiveness derived from data collected via questionnaire administer…
