Published: December 2022

The study is focused on the topic of life satisfaction of citizens in Tehran (Iran). The objective of the current study was to identify the predictive environmental and social determinants of life satisfaction. To explain the statement of the problem and form the theoretical framework, related sociological and psychological views were used.

In the introduction the concept of life satisfaction is described and measurement of life satisfaction in various studies are summarized. In the empirical part a questionnaire survey is conducted that tries to determine life satisfaction of Tehran citizens (N = 385). The statistical population in this research was all citizens over the age of eighteen years in the city of Tehran and the research was conducted in 2017. Findings indicated that comparing the mean of variables shows that personal satisfaction and health status are higher than social satisfaction and justice. It is found that there is a high correlation between sense of security and life satisfaction. However, variables of sense of security and health status account for around 34% of the variations in life satisfaction. Findings of this research have important implications for making policies to improve subjective well-being through increasing the safety level and community planning.

Authors: NOIMUNWA Watcharapong , SINGHRUCK Patama , SOMPONGCHAIYAKUL Penjai
Published: December 2022

Water scarcity is the main problems of water management and various socio-economic development activities of Thailand. Expert opinion and scientific knowledge are always convenient to be used to solve problems. To some extent, this approach may not be applicable since it is not accepted by local communities. To reduce this conflict, participatory approach may provide local cooperation and assist developing better water management strategies. Pranburi Basin is an important headwater that supports both agricultural land and municipality which includes Hua-Hin, a famous tourist place. The aims of this study were to assess water scarcity and to apply stakeholder participation into decision making processes for water management. Water stress index and criticality ratio were used to assess water scarcity. A Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework was used to describe water scarcity and contributing factors. Based on DPSIR analysis, the stakeholders proposed and then prioritized for the most appropriate responses by ordinary weighing technique. The results indicated that the four most preferable measures for this basin include controlling agricultural area, controlling crop types, reforestation and establishing local water user association.
An Essay on the Subjective Valuation of an Incentive System in an Insurance Market
Authors: Mahito Okura , Hiroyuki Nozaki
Published: December 2022

This study discusses two discount systems, namely, the insurance pre- mium discount system, where the policyholder’s valuation is objective, and the book price discount system, where the policyholder’s valuation is subjective. The main pur- pose of this study is to compare these discount systems and show the conditions under which each discount system is chosen by an insurance firm.

The main conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the insurance firm chooses the book price discount (insurance premium discount) system if the policyholder’s disutility of loss prevention effort is relatively high (low). Second, the insurance firm chooses the book price discount system when the initial wealth and maximum subjec- tive valuation of the book price discount are large. The insurance firm also chooses the book price discount system when the insurance premium, the amount of damage and effect of the loss prevention effort are small.
Insurance-markets Equilibrium with Sequential Non-convex Private and Public-Sector Labor Supply
Authors: Aleksandar Vasilev
Published: December 2022

This paper describes the lottery- and insurance-market equilibrium in an economy with non-convex private- and public-sector employment. In contrast to Vasilev 2017, 2015, the public-sector labor supply decision is a sequential one. This requires two separate insurance market to operate, one for private-sector work, and one for public-sector employment. In addition, given that the labor choice for private- and public-sector hours is made in succession, the insurance market for public emloy- ment needs to open once the other insurance market has closed. This segmentation and sequentiality of insurance markets operation is a new result in the literature and a direct consequence of the double non-convexity, and the sequential nature of the sectoral labor supply decision.

Teaching Mathematics - Online versus Offline
Authors: UNGUREANU Laura
Published: December 2022

Mathematical thinking involves the ability to reason in rigorously composed stages, each related to the previous ones but also the ability to concentrate on long-term attention. Within the professional training of a teacher, two sides are combined: the scientific and the pedagogical. It is obvious that a good teacher must be a person with a rich, well-founded scientific training, clearly superior to the level at which he teaches. This paper seeks to provide an overview of current trends in the development of mathematics teaching, especially in the current context of the pandemic, when teaching is done mainly online. The aim is to highlight the differences, advantages and disadvantages, between teaching mathematics under normal conditions, offline and online teaching. Teaching math online is a huge challenge for both teachers and students.
The Transition from Secondary Education to Higher Education: The Portuguese Situation
Authors: CHAGAS LOPES Margarida
Published: December 2022

Decrease in the flow of students from Secondary to Higher Education in Portugal has been attributed by policy-makers to the attraction of the labour market for young people who should be continuing their studies.

But several other reasons, which are generally missing in the official discourse, combine to create this decrease, including the role played by the State's social action policy for Higher Education, the shortness of families’ incomes, the level of schooling of the students’ parents, among others. Also psychological and sociological factors exist, which are often silenced, but which should also be considered to achieve a thorough understanding of the dynamics of flows from Secondary to Higher Education. These factors include the motivation, commitment and self-efficiency of students.

This study starts with a macroeconomic and social approach, using comparative education methodology, to obtain a characterisation of the relative position of Portugal in the European Union (EU). This approach is described in this paper, where the main result is expected to be the conclusion that, among various factors, which include the inadequacy of public policies, the decisive factors for the decline in the flow of transition to Higher Education in Portugal are economic ones, namely access to income.

Having analyzed works of Belova-Ganeva G. it was elicited the essence of socio-economic rights lays in the fact ʽthey help to reduce unjustified social differences and provide individual with the possibility of getting benefits or services and having state supportʽ. The variety of rights’ content comprising the present group results in the situation when the same right, in virtue of various grounds, can be attributed to two or more classified groups. The difference between goals becomes visible within the process of normative setting of separate socio-economic rights and when subjects exercise them. Correspondingly, in the present work authors distinguish rights in the sphere of property and economic activity for one group, while the second group includes rights in the sphere of social security and social insurance.

Published: December 2022

The public interest right as a ground for restriction of the ownership right is studied in this article. The notion of sustainable development, widely discussed in recent years at the international level, considers the thesis of balanced regulation of economic relations as one of the main principles of state policy. The balanced regulation of economic relations is impossible without clear definition of the areas of private and public interests in law, as well as without development of the common approaches to the notion, content, criteria, and principles of restriction of the ownership rights. The purpose of this study is to analyze public interest as a groundfor restriction of the ownership right. This scientific work is based on the dialectical method, in which each legal phenomenon is considered in development, in constant movement, and the contradictions of different levels within the framework of the common system are recognized as the internal impulses of development. The principle of systematic analysis of the limits of implementation and restrictions of private and public ownership rights is actively applied. The study proposes to expand the subject composition in legal relations on restriction of the ownership rights and to introduce a new subject of law (the ʽfuture generationsʽ), the interests of which may become the limit of the implementation of the ownership right; the authors' definition of the ʽinterest of the societyʽ is given, the conclusion is madethat the restrictions of the ownership rights are independent legal relationships, arising from the legal facts, based on the law. The proposal is substantiated that in the system of fundamental human rights and freedoms it is necessary to single out the right to property as the basic right of an individual (person), different from the ownership right. The right to property is a potential, yet unrealized opportunity for everyone to possess any property. The conclusions and proposals made in the study will make it possible to ensure the balance of the property interests of the owners and the society.

As a result of Ukraine's rapid withdrawal from the religious and ideological milieu of the Moscow Patriarchate, getting a Tomos and the creation of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula (where a fairly high percentage of Muslim believers (Tatars) live and are persecuted), the gradual integration of (mostly) Orthodox Ukraine into the European Union (where most countries profess Catholicism and Protestantism) attract the attention of the European community to Ukraine more than ever in the religious sphere. Today this can become a favorable environment for the world’s getting acquainted with the Ukrainian religious culture, with the promotion of its spiritual heritage, which has been created for thousands of years, for creating a general image of the country as a tourist one. According to the World Tourism Organization, at least 200 million people go pilgrimage annually. Pilgrimage is also gaining popularity in Ukraine every year. The specificity of pilgrimage is determined by the features of the religious consciousness of believers, which in turn is associated with the nature of religious doctrine and cult practices of specific regional destinations. Thus, in the context of the development of modern state tourism policy, once lost traditions of pilgrimage are gaining significant growth in the country.

Authors: HARPER Carrigan , ROOS Claudine , RETIEF Francois Pieter , ALBERTS Reece Cronje , CILLIERS Dirk Petrus
Published: December 2022

This paper aims to better understand tourism-related waste behaviour within marine protected areas (MPAs) by applying the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) to a specific South African case study. Observed- and self-reported elements of waste separation behaviour were determined for four diving charters and five accommodation facilities within the Aliwal Shoal MPA. Observations and waste characterisation were performed to understand actual behaviour, while survey questionnaires based on the TPB were administered to determine self-reported behaviour. Interviews were conducted to explore challenges and opportunities for waste separation at source. The results found a significant percentage of recyclable waste (>70%) within the disposable waste stream, and no waste separation infrastructure at any of the facilities investigated. Survey responses indicated a positive attitude towards waste separation, with a social drive towards participating. Respondents also indicated that they generally participated in waste separation at source, a claim not supported by the observation data. The identified challenges for waste separation at source included a lack of separation infrastructure and collection services, inconvenience, time constraints, and unwillingness of customers to participate. Accordingly, the main opportunities towards waste separation included the provision of waste separation resources and reliable municipal services, and strategies towards improved waste-related awareness and behaviour.

Interest in the problem under study is determined, first, by the fact that business tourism is one of the most profitable and diversified types of tourism. Second, business tourism often performs a stimulating function for other sectors of the national economy. The paper demonstrates the significance of business tourism in the contemporary tourism industry and provides an analysis of research studies on business tourism, including those investigating prospects for the development of this sector in Kazakhstan. The study assesses the development of business tourism in 17 regions of Kazakhstan on the following indicators: event infrastructure, programs to promote the region as an event destination, regional policy in the event industry and activities of specialized coordinating bodies, experience in hosting major international events in the region, the tourism potential of the region. The findings suggest that the state and development prospects of business tourism vary in different regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The regions demonstrating a low level of development of business tourism require specialized measures for the improvement of the event infrastructure, implementation of programs for the promotion of the region as an event destination, and improvement of the state policy and activities of specialized coordinating bodies in the event industry.

Published: December 2022

This article examines the tourism potential of megalithic civilization and forest coffee from a historical and cultural standpoint. Both have new values, as they provide cultural experiences of Indonesian identity, historical heritage preservation, and local cultural practices. The study investigates the issues of collective value system governance and stakeholder participation using qualitative case studies in determining tourist development success. The study's findings revealed that the program's policy difficulty was incremental rather than transformative innovation. Community groups have linked stakeholder cooperation by acting as innovation champion, liaising with administrative and political leadership, adopting reforms, and creating innovation spaces. Both issues are relevant in terms of governance quality. Organizational changes in the public sector are an important aspect of systematic innovation and entrepreneurship. The topic of values, when approached in a civic-minded iterative manner under collaborative governance, can result in several innovative policies that enable responsible and sustainable tourism development.

Wali Pitu, Bali Province as Tourism Innovation for the Indonesian Halal Tourism Destinations
Authors: KHAIRUDIN Khairuddin
Published: December 2022

This research paper discusses Bali as a halal tourist destination, which is contradictory as a “City of Guardians” amid the brand of Bali as a Hindu City in Indonesia. This article is strongly based on the findings of “Wali Pitu” (seven sainthood) on the island of Bali, in particular that it has not been widely promoted as a halal tourist destination by the local government.

The iconic Bali as a Hindu City currently has a double image as a “Wali City” because Wali Pitu tombs were found which differ from those of Wali Songo. Wali Pitu is unique because of its existence at the heart of Hindu civilization in Bali and through a unique process from the cult of Wali Songo. As a new site, Wali Pitu is a new prospect for halal tourism, where several important aspects can invite many pilgrims. Wali Pitu is considered a new halal tourism opportunity to build an image of Muslim holiness amid the hegemony of Hindu society in Indonesia, which serves as the creation of modern religious moderation.

Satisfaction has become a major concern for the tourism businesses as it contributed to the willingness to recommend. This paper explores factors that contributed to satisfaction and willingness to recommend scuba diving tourism. The purposive sampling method was used to select the respondent for the survey which used questionnaires in Redang Island, Malaysia. By using SmartPLS, the study analysis confirms the importance of services, facilities, and destination image towards satisfaction and willingness to recommend scuba divers. Perceived crowdedness was found to have moderating effects on the proposed relationship. The study also highlights the unsupported relationship between lodging and satisfaction. These findings lead to further discussion on the theoretical and managerial implications for scuba diving tourism.
