Psychological factors affecting memorable tourism experiences

This study tries to explore psychological components of memorable tourist experience (MTE) that are most likely to recall tourists’ memories. Urban residents from three representative cities in China were selected as research samples, and totally 301 usable questionnaires were used for data analysis. The results showed that the recollection of MTE was positively affected by novelty, involvement and social interaction. It was also suggested that hedonism and novelty had positive effects on the vividness of MTEs significantly. Additionally, in the context of Chinese culture, two new psychological factors, social interaction and perceived serendipity, resulted in different effects on the MTE.

居民收入差距的财政调节:绩效测度与因素分析——基于辽宁城镇居民视角的分析

采用统计年鉴权威数据,运用统计与计量研究方法,对辽宁城镇居民收入差距的财政管理绩效进行测度与分析。研究表明2002年以来辽宁城镇居民收入差距未能得到有效缓解和控制,财政管理手段对城镇居民收入差距调节低效,甚至存在负效应;辽宁城镇居民收入差距的静态来源和动态趋势存在各自特征,其中财产性收入的影响与调控值得关注,经营性收入亟待重视。最后依据测度结论及辽宁经济社会发展实际,提出改善辽宁居民收入结构的政策取向和对策建议。     

公共治理中的资源整合与共享问题--基于困局经济学的视角分析

资源的整合与共享是公共治理活动中形成有效集体行动的重点和难题。为了克服“公地悲剧”,人们界定了各种各样的产权。然而这些碎片化产权却导致了资源使用不足的“反公地悲剧”。“反公地悲剧”给公共治理资源整合与共享带来了挑战。这既需要从宏观上通过多种途径提高公共组织的整合能力,还需要对此做出具体的策略安排。     

城乡结合部发育阶段划分与土地管理策略——以重庆市为例

依据重庆市2013年建成区现状、行政区划和城乡总体规划,运用空间分析方法对重庆市城乡结合部发育阶段进行划分,并在调研基础上指出不同发育阶段存在的土地问题和完善策略。研究表明:重庆市低速、中速、快速和高度城市化乡镇分别占29.55%、27.27%、31.82%和11.36%;城乡结合部不同阶段乡镇土地问题存在明显差异,但它们之间具有内在关联性;低速和中速城市化乡镇的土地问题主要围绕"土地监管",而后两类乡镇主要围绕"土地征用";城乡结合部土地管理应注重协调远期利益与近期利益的关系、历史遗留问题与未来趋势把握的关系和城市拓展与培育城郊发展的关系。     

自由现金流与企业过度投资——基于内外部约束视角的实证研究

在我国转型经济的制度背景下,基于公司内外部约束视角,以我国制造业2001年—2012年主板上市公司为研究对象,研究了自由现金流与企业过度投资的关系,以及公司外部负债融资和内部公司治理机制对于过度投资的约束作用。研究表明:企业留存的过量自由现金流会造成企业的过度投资现象,而企业外部的债务约束以及内部完善的公司治理机制可以较有效的约束这种过度投资现象。结论对于建立约束企业过度投资行为的机制,提高企业投资决策效率具有理论和现实意义。

The impacts of governance and institutions on inbound tourism demand: evidence from a dynamic panel data study

This study explores the impact of governance and institutions on inbound tourism demand in Malaysia using a dynamic panel data approach for 45 tourism source countries over the period 2005–2015. The results show that institutions play a very important role in explaining the behaviour of inbound tourism demand. To obtain a better picture, we investigate the response of international tourists to disaggregated institutional quality. We find that international tourists are more concerned about political stability, governmental effectiveness, regulations, laws, and corruption than voice and accountability. Therefore, policymakers should focus on ways to improve institutional quality to significantly increase international tourist arrivals.     

The promise of creative/participatory mapping practices for sport and leisure research

This paper provides an introduction to the concept of creative participatory mapping of human–environment relations. It is identified that within human geography, artistic practice and urban design, biomapping and similar community mapping tools and methodologies are increasingly being embraced. However, within sports and leisure research the concept has yet to gain academic attention. Consequently, this paper provides a basis for thinking about how researchers and research participants in the fields of sport and leisure research might benefit if mapping human–environment relations was to be embraced and integrated into research design practices. Referencing recent turns to studying space and affect within sport and leisure studies, mapping is argued to offer innovative methodological opportunities for studying how people relate to and understand the urban environments in which they practice physical activity and leisure forms of embodiment. The paper concludes by arguing that, along with offering up new avenues for conceptual research, mapping human–environment relations, if readily embraced, can go a long way to fostering community engagement in: the identification of (un)safe urban routes for sport/leisure practice (e.g. running, cycling), the development and site identification of health/physical activity initiatives and the design of urban landscapes of sport/leisure.     

Research agenda for low-carbon mobility: Issues for New World cities

ABSTRACT

Low-carbon mobility (LCM) features strongly in debates about the sustainability of cities and their resilience in the face of demographic, economic, and climate change. Transport is a major source of carbon emissions and there are indications that these continue to increase, despite the considerable recent advances in vehicle, engine, and fuel technologies. Reducing carbon emissions from transport may become more difficult, not easier. A particular issue relates to the New World cities, typified by those of North America and Australasia, which largely developed from the latter half of the nineteenth century onward and whose transportation systems were largely based around private vehicle ownership and usage. These cities are typically composed of low-density, dispersed suburbs, which are highly car dependent and resource and carbon emission intensive. This article develops a research agenda directed at determining and testing policy and planning measures relevant to the quest for low carbon mobility in New World cities. It suggests a rich agenda for essential research on LCM. Much of this agenda falls within the realm of the integration of transport and land use, with attention to urban design details to enhance the perceptions of and opportunities to use low carbon transport alternatives. Research topics identified for LCM research include (1) urban design and land use–transport integration (LUTI), (2) low carbon mobility policies directed at achieving widespread behavior change, (3) opportunities for new technology and its application, including requirements for systems and infrastructure, and (4) analysis and tools for informed decision making, including modeling, measurement, visualization, and especially assessment.
