Planning for peripheral resilience
Ultra-peripheral regions face persistent structural constraints linked to insularity, limited accessibility, and fragile socio-economic systems, posing significant challenges for territorial planning and regional policy design. In this context, this paper reconceptualizes rural development as a territorially embedded and governance-driven process, rather than a sector-specific outcome. Focusing on the Azores, an ultra-peripheral European region, …
Tracing the Evolution of Marketing Strategies in Tourism Destinations
Tourism destination marketing has evolved from traditional branding and promotional activities to data-driven, technology-enabled smart tourism ecosystems. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), the Metaverse, and user-generated content (UGC) are reshaping destination promotion and tourist engagement. This study aims to systematically review the evolution of tourism destination marketing strategies, exam…
The Innovative Pathway on Sustainable Culture Tourism
The relationship between tourism, economic growth and environmental sustainability
The positive impact of tourism on the economy of countries and their increasing commitment to this practice has led to numerous studies in the literature, from the emergence of the TLGH at the beginning of the century to the present day. However, destinations are no strangers to the negative externalities generated by tourism. These negative externalities respond to a harmful impact on the environment, which, together with the increasing concern …
Predicting land-use dynamics in the Venlo-Düsseldorf borderland
This study analyses land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes in the cross-border region of Venlo (Netherlands) and Düsseldorf (Germany) over the past two decades, using CORINE land cover data and GIS-based CA-Markov simulations. It presents a novel framework for understanding the dynamics of urban expansion and its impacts on the environment in cross-border metropolitan regions. The findings reveal a significant increase in built-up areas and a cri…
Does governance make deficits work? A global analysis of fiscal policy and growth
Cultural, Gastronomy, and Adventure Tourism Development
Assessment of the Climate Environmental Vulnerability Index for Urban Settlements on the Mediterranean Coast
Climate change poses a severe environmental crisis where many European urban centers face increased risks, among others, of flooding and/or water scarcity due to intense rainfall and prolonged droughts. Urgent adaptation measures are required to enhance resilience in urban, peri-urban, and agricultural areas against extreme weather events. This article describes a method for categorizing urban areas based on climate-related risks as a targeting a…
Can Digitalization Bridge the Gap? Exploring Human Development and Inequality in Gauteng Province, South Africa
Despite global progress in reducing inequality, disparities persist and worsen in certain regions. While wealthier countries experience unprecedented human development, poorer nations, including South Africa, struggle. Digital innovations have transformed sectors like business, education, healthcare, and finance, yet the gap in digital access mirrors the gap in development. This study focuses on Gauteng Province, South Africa, a region highly pro…
Cross-Border Cooperation and Land-Use
Preventing depopulation by improving technological endowment
Post-Covid tourism planning
During 2020, in the context of COVID-19 pandemic, many touristic destinations noticed a drop above 70% of tourists compared to the previous year - 2019. Moreover, some destinations registered a drop in more than 80% in overnight stays compared to 2019. Therefore, in the current period of economic crisis, residents' perceptions of the impacts of tourism may differ substantially from those relating to periods of economic prosperity. Furthermore, th…
Assessing Rural Tourism Experiences
This research paper focused on tourists’ experiences after engaging in a rural tourism experience, the activities developed during that period, and the relevant factors they considered when planning the holidays. We collected data in the Azores, a region known to implement rural tourism. Therefore, the collected data were analyzed using mainly summary statistics, graphical representations, and exploratory data analysis methods, including the nonl…
Territorial planning of rustic land constructions and their adaptation to climate change in the province of Málaga, Spain
Cultural Sustainable Tourism
Analyzing Transportation Logistics and Infrastructure Sustainability in the Iberian Peninsula
Transportation is one of the most meaningful references of unsustainability in regional urban areas. This difficulty is stimulating urban planners and decision-makers to introduce the concept of sustainability into their policy design at multiple levels. Contextually, through exploratory tools, the present study aims to analyze the impacts over the socio-economic sphere that those new plans could bring to the region and the local populations of P…
Dynamic relationship between international tourism, economic growth and environmental pollution in the OECD countries
The aim of this study is to examine the impact of international tourism on economic growth and carbon emissions by using the Panel VAR model in selected OECD countries. By using yearly data for the periods of 1995 and 2020, we examine the dynamic relationship between international tourism, economic growth, and carbon emissions using the Granger causality test and impulse responses analysis. Although we could not determine the presence of a causal…
Peripheral Territories, Tourism, and Regional Development
Limited land and resources, along with the overexploitation of tourism and multiple other factors, make peripheral and ultra-peripheral territories relevant cases for studying governance and sustainable development. This book presents case studies of European and Mediterranean regions to study regional development and territorial sustainability, strategic planning, and territorial management and governance. Written by experts in the field, the ch…
Assessing Health Resources Equipped with Hemodynamic Rooms in the Portuguese-Spanish Borderland
Portugal and Spain share one of the greatest European borderland areas. This fact has direct impacts on a large territory and consequently on the communities’ living in it. Still, even if the border areas represent an essential fraction of the territory, planning policies have not resulted in specific cooperation programs that could enable sharing general leisure and recreation assets and infrastructures and collaboration in critical domains—i.e.…
The Land-Use Change Dynamics Based on the Corine Data in the Period 1990–2018 in the European Archipelagos of the Macaronesia Region
Islands as peripheral and ultra-peripheral are typically highlighted as ecologically sensitive areas to human activities due to the tremendous biological diversity of beings and the future possibility of habitat loss. In this regard, the comprehension of the land occupation dynamics and trends in the ultra-peripheral territories is crucial to attempt long-lasting regional sustainability, as is the island region’s case. Therefore, the present arti…

Sustainable valuation of land for development. Adding value with urban planning progress. A Spanish case study
Relevance of Intermittent Rivers and Streams in Agricultural Landscape and Their Impact on Provided Ecosystem Services—A Mediterranean Case Study
Ecosystem services (ES), as an interconnection of the landscape mosaic pieces, along with temporal rivers (IRES) are an object of research for environmental planners and ecological economists, among other specialists. This study presents (i) a review on the importance of IRES and the services they can provide to agricultural landscapes; (ii) a classification tool to assess the impact of IRES to provide ES by agricultural landscapes; (iii) the app…
Modelação de sistemas de abastecimento de água. O caso de Ilha da Madeira
A temática da insuficiência de água disponível para consumo é essencial no debate social devido à importância natural deste recurso e às previsões de aumentos exponenciais demográficos, o que introduziu uma maior pressão sobre o ciclo deste recurso finito e essencial para a manutenção do equilíbrio natural. A infraestrutura responsável pela sua distribuição deve ser concebida, mantida e explorada eficazmente. Este estudo aborda a modelação e a ca…
