Public concerns about climate change and environmental protection have triggered governments and corporations to do research on clean and cost-effective forms of energy. Green energy is relatively new in developing countries, which results in limited market penetration and low consumer acceptance. This study aims to investigate the relationship between global motives and consumer intentions to use renewable energy via the Behavioral Reasoning Theory (BRT). In this research, reasons for supporting the utilization of renewable energy are shown through environmental concerns and perceived benefits, while reasons against it are represented through perceived costs. An online survey obtained 275 valid data responses from Indonesian middle- and upper-class consumers. This data was analyzed using PLS-SEM to maximize the model's predictive value. All hypotheses tested, except for the effect of environmental concern and perceived cost on attitude, were proven to influence customer intentions to use renewable energy. This study found that perceived benefits gave the largest contribution to global motives for using renewable energy. Since this study involved consumers from the middle to upper class in developing countries, perceived behavioral control had the most influence on intention to use renewable energy compared to attitude and subjective norms.

The problem of hunger is one of the problems that still occur in Indonesia. The problem of hunger is closely related to the problem of staple foods, such as the unmet security of staple food, rice as the community's main food, and the increasing demand for staple foods. This research aims to analyze the challenges faced by Bali Province in maintaining sustainable food security and to design food security action designs in Bali Province towards food independence. The data used in this research are primary data and secondary data with a descriptive analysis method using ISM analysis. The results of the research show that food challenges that occur in Bali Province include reduced agricultural land, unbalanced supply and demand for food commodities, weak use and mastery of technology, lack of farming management and product marketing, the proportion of crop loss and food waste is still quite high, food loss due to inaccuracy in handling food, the area of agricultural land per capita is very limited, the number of young people interested in working in the agricultural sector is still problematic, the age of farmers over 45 years reaches 64.2%, Indonesia is also still facing three times the burden of nutrition, climate change, and hydrometeorological disasters. The Bali Province's food security design towards food independence consists of farmers, government, companies, financial institutions, and agricultural cooperatives who are interconnected with each other.

Bar Reef is a complex marine ecosystem with over 120 coral species living in the reef and over 300 fish species reported from the surrounding sea. It was declared a marine sanctuary in 1992. Despite efforts for conservation, the Bar Reef ecosystem is at risk of degradation due to overexploitation of extractive uses, namely, edible fish, other seafood species, and aquarium fish. In addition, destructive fishing practices are also responsible for damaging the reef ecosystem. The designation of Kalpitiya as a significant tourism promotion area has created additional pressure on the system. Further, the worldwide incidence of coral bleaching in 1998 has severely affected a major part of the Bar Reef. However, the amount of degradation persistent in the bar reef has not been valued so far. This research has attempted to value the extent of degradation prevailing in the Bar Reef from the perception of the visitors. It has used Choice Experiment Method to assess the visitors’ perception of the degradation. Randomly selected 250 visitors were interviewed and the conditional logit model has been used to investigate the visitor preferences towards the habitat quality and analyze the significance of their preferences. According to the results obtained reduction of plastic and polythene by 50%, reducing the crowding in the beach area by 15%, and paying Rs. 1000 has become significant. Hence it is expected by this research to provide a signal to the relevant stakeholders on the extent of degradation prevailing and the importance of protecting this habitat.

There are numerous environmental issues in Bali, a popular tourist destination in Indonesia, including the problems of waste, critical land, beach abrasion, coral reef destruction and water contamination, all attributed to the rapid expansion of the tourism industry. Ecotourism is one of the solutions to address these concerns, and the initiatives taken involve ecopreneurship, the process of starting and running green firms that support sustainable tourism growth in Bali. The goal of ecopreneurship in the tourism industry is to create and run enterprises that have as minimum negative environmental impacts as possible, while maximising positive social and economic consequences. This is done through improvements on both public policies and tourist preferences, to promote a sustainable tourism development. A mixed method was used, combining SEM PLS, Path Methods, and qualitative research, with comprehensive interviews conducted among ecopreneurs, government agencies, tourists, and academics in Bali. Ecopreneurship variables, comprising environmentally friendly products and services, green technology innovation, environmental and natural resource management, local community involvement, environmental education and awareness, waste and emission management, collaboration and partnerships, measurement of environmental performance and sustainability, moderated by the government policy and tourist awareness and preference, were found to have a significant influence on sustainable tourism variables, namely, natural environment preservation, social welfare and culture, local economic empowerment, resource management and environmental impact reduction, local community participation and public consultation.
巴厘岛是印度尼西亚著名的旅游胜地,这里存在着许多环境问题,包括废物、土地紧缺、海滩磨损、珊瑚礁破坏和水污染等问题,这些都是旅游业迅速发展造成的。生态旅游是解决这些问题的办法之一,所采取的措施包括生态创业,即创办和经营绿色企业,支持巴厘岛旅游业的可持续发展。旅游业生态创业的目标是创建和经营对环境负面影响尽可能小的企业,同时最大限度地提高积极的社会和经济效益。要做到这一点,就必须改善公共政策和游客偏好,促进旅游业的可持续发展。研究采用了混合方法,结合了 SEM PLS、路径法和定性研究,对巴厘岛的生态企业家、政府机构、游客和学者进行了全面访谈。研究发现,生态企业家精神变量包括环境友好型产品和服务、绿色技术创新、环境和自然资源管理、当地社区参与、环境教育和意识、废物和排放管理、合作与伙伴关系、环境绩效和可持续发展的衡量,并受到政府政策、游客意识和偏好的调节,对可持续旅游业变量(即自然环境保护、社会福利和文化、当地经济赋权、资源管理和环境影响减少、当地社区参与和公众咨询)具有显著影响。

Currently, Albania is a growing destination for foreign tourists because the country offers diverse natural, cultural, historical, and spiritual sites. Thanks to the contribution of national and foreign archaeologists, who have shed light on the rich Albanian archaeology, these sites have today received the designation of tourist destinations. However, the current situation does not reflect the full potential of Albania in this field because the country has many more discovered areas that need to be brought to light and promoted. Just as there are, a significant number of historical and cultural objects need to be treated and revived according to the standards of the time. Likewise, there is a need for the tourist guides to find new ways of marketing while leading and guiding the groups of tourists. The purpose of this study is to highlight the problems of promoting tourist attractions and handling cultural objects as well as to suggest new alternatives that are more efficient and compatible with the demands of the time. The methodology used in this research is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodology. Specifically, for data collection, the main instruments used are a semi-structured interview and a focus group. Also, we have tried to extract data from tourist subjects, the institute of monuments and representatives of the tourism community, through which we have managed to draw conclusions and suggestions. The analysis of the data obtained in this study highlights the urgent need for a new and moderate conception and attitude for the strategy of promoting Albania’s tourist attractions. The Albanian monuments of cultural heritage, as a precious asset, should take a special importance in the life of the country, through the functional promotion that becomes part of the life of its own citizens.

In this paper most important differences between performance budgeting and traditional budgeting were presented. The aim of this paper is to focus only on selected differences. The conducted case-study in Poland reveals that activity-based budgeting is an effective method of financial management. Traditional budgeting is implemented according to older concepts. These rules are not compatible with the demands of modern budgeting. Unfortunately, the traditional budgeting method is widely used in public sector in Poland. It is also quite often used in commercial enterprises. The traditional method of budgeting is easier and quicker to implement. Thus, it is popular. On the other hand, it does not allow to achieve positive effects of activity-based budgeting.

The focus of this study pertains to the legal regulations governing environmental pollution offences, as stipulated by the Environmental Protection Law No. 6 of 2017 and its subsequent revisions. Initially, the study examined the definitions of environmental pollution in accordance with the methodology employed by Jordanian lawmakers and international conferences. Subsequently, an analysis was conducted on the Environmental Protection Law No. 6 of 2017 and its subsequent amendments. This was followed by a determination of the fundamental components upon which the criminal offence is predicated. Additionally, a review of select cases that were brought before the Jordanian judiciary was undertaken. The environmental policy in Oman legislation underscores adopting a multifaceted approach, sometimes emphasizing obligatory measures and resorting to prohibitive or unrestricted policies. It is apparent that the responsibility for safeguarding the environment from pollution is not solely vested in the state but is a collective responsibility shared among individuals and society as a whole, as reinforced by the provisions of Article 6. This underscores the importance of environmental protection as an effective means to combat wrongdoing, thus the enactment of Law No. 26 for Environmental Protection and Pollution Control, which establishes specific legal principles to define criminal behaviour and prescribes penalties, adhering to the fundamental legal principle that "there is no crime and no punishment except by law."

The main aim of this article was to present differences in the social determinants of waste management and environmental protection in Poland and People's Republic of China. A research gap was identified related to the small number of studies comparing China and Poland in the field of waste management. A systematic review of the literature on waste management and society's approach to environmental protection was conducted, with particular emphasis on municipal waste. The article uses data from local databases, i.e. the Central Statistical Office (GUS) in Poland and The Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China, as well as data from the World Bank and OECD. The method of comparative analysis and Hofstede's tool were used for selected aspects of the social approach to waste management in Poland and the People's Republic of China. Empirical research was conducted in August 2023. Literature review based on key groups of social factors that differ in the analysed countries. These include those related to purity, religious beliefs, respect for nature, responsibility and ecology. Chinese citizens approach the power supply in their environment in a more collective way than in Poland. The European Union's recommendations has positively affected management of municipal waste in Poland, while in People's Republic of China legislation is constantly updated. In the authors' opinion, in subsequent studies it is worth focusing on comparing other countries in terms of their social approach to environmental protection, as well as conducting surveys.

The article uses data from local databases, i.e. the Central Statistical Office (GUS) in Poland and The Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China, as well as data from the World Bank and OECD. The method of comparative analysis and Hofstede's tool were used for selected aspects of the social approach to waste management in Poland and the People's Republic of China. Empirical research was conducted in August 2023. Literature review based on key groups of social factors that differ in the analysed countries. These include those related to purity, religious beliefs, respect for nature, responsibility and ecology. Chinese citizens approach the power supply in their environment in a more collective way than in Poland. The European Union's recommendations has positively affected management of municipal waste in Poland, while in People's Republic of China legislation is constantly updated. In the authors' opinion, in subsequent studies it is worth focusing on comparing other countries in terms of their social approach to environmental protection, as well as conducting surveys.","PeriodicalId":38130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management and Tourism","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139185161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hotel sector, along with numerous other tourism-related industries, significantly poses a threat to the environment through its extensive consumption of resources like water, energy, and non-durable items. The hotel industry is also well known for its large-scale discharge of raw and solid waste in varying proportions. As a result, numerous hotels have begun implementing innovative approaches to enhance the sustainability of their operations in efforts to alleviate their environmental impact while also addressing the increasing environmental concerns expressed by customers. Employing a cross-sectional design and quantitative approach and using both descriptive and inferential analysis, we assess sustainable energy systems and green hotel practices in the Tamale metropolis, Ghana. We find that majority of hotels in the Tamale metropolis have written green management policy. We also find that cost and customers understanding of green policies are the main challenges hindering their adaptation and implementation of sustainable energy systems. The study establishes a significant relationship between level of education and use of green energy practices. Again, the study finds staff strength to be highly inter-linked with the existence of green management policy. To this end, we recommend that operators should implement training programs for staff, replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources and educating the citizens to foster increased awareness and trust in renewable energy systems, as well as to provide proper training for their effective utilization.
