Enhancing animal care through digital tools
The adoption of digital technologies in zoological institutions is transforming animal care management. However, challenges persist in integrating mobile applications into daily workflows. This qualitative study examines technology adoption in a Southeast Asian zoological institution, focusing on a mobile application designed for animal care. Using the Technology-Organisation-Environment framework and the challenge-hindrance perspective, we condu…
Embracing Tourism Dietary Inclusivity
This study addresses a significant gap in tourism literature by exploring the dietary needs of tourists—an often‐overlooked aspect of the travel experience. Using survey data from diverse customer groups in Singapore, and framed by Social Practice Theory, the research identifies patterns in dietary needs and highlights gaps in current tourism policies and service practices. The findings reveal that dietary preparedness remains limited, partly due…
Designing culturally-informed activities for interactive learning in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia (SEA) countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Philippines, and Thailand, have explored the use of Information Communication Tools (ICT) in schools to provide quality and accessible education. ICT plays a vital role in SEA for education: schools now heavily rely on mobile and internet technologies in and out of the classroom. However , the adoption of ICT in SEA could have been faster, especially in cou…
Does the travel career pattern model work for repeat tourists
Tourism researchers and practitioners have an interest in understanding tourists’ travel patterns, and one of the most used models applied to reach this goal is the seminal Travel Career Pattern (TCP) model. However, repeat tourism is underexplored and in the present research, the authors provide an initial investigation of repeat tourists using the TCP model. Based on survey data from 500 international tourists in India the present research foun…
Student perceptions of peer cheating behaviour during Covid-19 induced online teaching and assessment
In this article we report on a study of higher education students’ (N = 256) perceptions on the willingness, pressure, and frequency of their peers to cheat in online assessments at an Australian university in Singapore during the COVID-19 induced Online Teaching and Assessment period (COTA). MANOVA was used to identify the differences in perception between COTA and In-Person Teaching and Assessment (IPTA), as well as differences between academic…
The Landscape of Community-Based Giving Days in the United States
Within the last decade there has been an exponential growth of community foundation- led giving days, credited in general to the ease afforded by online giving, the social media presence of nonprofits, and the sense of community these events widely impart. However, current academic literature on these events remains sparse. This article addresses this gap with a longitudinal examination of the growth of community foundation-led giving days from 2…

Hawker Centres
This article sets out to examine how the use of social spaces, namely hawker centres, has contributed to community wellbeing during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using an extensive thematic analysis of online conversations, we have identified that the use of social spaces can have a positive influence on individual, relational and social wellbeing. Access to social spaces during stressful events contributes to the feeling of normalcy, supports routines …
Post Covid-19
This paper focuses on post-pandemic travel behaviour and examines the relationship between destination-risk image and pre-travel behaviour using health-protective behaviour and media engagement as mediators. It empirically tests the model proposed by Bhati et al. The researchers adopt a pragmatist paradigm and utilise mixed methods to develop and test the adapted PMT framework. The findings confirm that, in the COVID-19 pandemic context, destinat…
What can postcolonial theory contribute to the study of social equity
There is a unanimous agreement among scholars that social equity scholarship is essential to the study of public administration. One area of weakness in the social equity literature is its inability to develop a theoretical understanding of the complexities of race, gender, and ethnicity. This viewpoint addresses the call of Pandey, Bearfield, and Hall (2022), arguing “concept of race in public administration remains woefully undertheorized” by e…

The study adopted a structured approach to analyse diverse stakeholder perspectives on vandalism and to determine the underlying relationship between perceptions of role of different stakeholder groups. The participants (n = 386) in the study rated their perception of vandalism and the role of personal …
Motivating or manipulating
COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease) is a contagious global pandemic that has impacted tourism in 2020. Tourist behaviour and destination image are significantly influenced by the tourist’s perception of safety and risk. This research letter focuses on post-pandemic travel behaviour through an understanding of how mediating factors can change the relationship of destination perception and travel intentions post-crisis. Drawing from the Protection Motiv…
A literature review of experimental studies in fundraising
This paper extends previous literature reviews focusing on fundraising and the mechanisms motivating charitable giving. We analyze 187 experimental research articles focusing on fundraising, published in journals across diverse disciplines between 2007-2019. Interest in studying fundraising spans many disciplines, each of which tends to focus on different aspects, supporting earlier claims that fundraising has no single academic “home.” Most of t…
Does Implicit Color Bias Reduce Giving? Learnings from Fundraising Survey Using Implicit Association Test (IAT)
This article explores the relationship between implicit (unconscious) color bias and giving by answering the research question: How does a donor’s implicit color biases affect giving to beneficiaries living in developing countries? The study draws from a fundraising survey consisting of 750 participants measuring their implicit biases using the Skin-tone Implicit Association Test (IAT) and their willingness to give along with their sociodemograph…
Growth of Community-Based Giving Days in the United States
Over the past decade, local and regional community foundations across the United States have adopted “giving days” as a means to build awareness, bolster community pride, and raise money for local nonprofit organizations. Despite the increasing prevalence of giving days, little scholarly research has empirically examined this phenomenon and its impact, particularly at the local and regional levels. To address these gaps, this article shares the f…
Tourist attractions in Bangkok and Singapore; linking vandalism and setting characteristics
The study adopts an exacting observational approach to vandalism and its site determinants in two pivotal Asian cities, Bangkok and Singapore. The study served three goals: to develop and evaluate an observational approach to auditing the damage to tourist attractions; to link the setting characteristics to the indicators of damage; and to explore the applicability of Western constructs of vandalism and control to these Asian settings. A cluster …

Industrial railway heritage trains
Heritage tourism forms a specific genre within the wider field of tourism; however, this genre itself encompasses a wide range of different types of heritage attractions, of which industrial attractions, military attractions, stately homes and attractions associated with historic people are all examples. This paper discusses the evolution of industrial railway heritage attractions from their original railway operations to visitor attractions; sec…
