Perceived Restorativeness of Visits to Cultural Heritage Sites

This study aimed to examine whether a causal relationship exists between perceived restorativeness and emotional healing, visitor satisfaction, and intention to revisit with respect to a visit to the Seooreung Shrine in South Korea. Attention restorativeness theory claims that four factors (being away, fascination, extent, and compatibility) induce a restorative environment. The results of the conducted survey support the four factors of attention restorativeness theory. Two distinct groups were identified and differences were discovered between the groups with respect to satisfaction and perceived restorativeness. Emotional healing exerted more influence on intention to revisit than visitor satisfaction. This study delivers a significant outcome as pioneer research on healing tourism by discovering emotional healing as a precedent variable to visitor satisfaction and intention to revisit in the area of cultural heritage tourism.     

The effect of Covid-19 depression on spirituality and psychological well-being through the perceived environmental restorativeness of a pilgrimage route: Focusing on pilgrims on Seoul Catholic Pilgrimage Route

During the COVID-19 pandemic, policies adopted by various countries to prevent the spread of the disease exacerbated social isolation among people, and their prolonged implementation has had a negative effect on people's mental health, leading to increased anxiety, stress, and depression. Group religious activities were prohibited, so believers continued their faith practices through individual pilgrimages. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between depression caused by COVID-19 and its impact on spirituality and psychological well-being, through the perceived restorative environment of the Seoul Catholic Pilgrimage Route. The results confirmed that COVID-19 depression had a negative effect on perceived environmental restorativeness and psychological well-being but perceived environmental restorativeness had a positive effect on Spirituality, and Spirituality had a positive effect on psychological well-being. These results imply that pilgrims who have experienced depression due to the pandemic can improve their spirituality and psychological well-being through nature-based pilgrimages.     

技术性贸易措施对“一带一路”高新技术产业的影响研究

近年来越来越多的技术性法规、标准、合格评定程序、检疫措施、产品认证、包装标志等在国际贸易中涌现,且呈现愈发严苛的趋势,这种形式的技术性贸易措施（TBT）使高新技术产业面临挑战。以2000—2020年“一带一路”国家签署并生效的包含技术性贸易措施的62份自由贸易协定（FTAs）展开分析,通过横向测度法对技术性贸易措施进行测量,构建引力模型实证分析FTAs技术性贸易措施对高新技术产业的影响,发现包含技术性贸易措施的自由贸易协定的签署生效可以促进高新技术产业出口,技术性贸易措施深度异质性对发达国家高新技术产业出口促进作用大于发展中国家,为此研究以高新技术产业为切入并提出其应对技术性贸易措施的具体对策。
