Abstract This thesis investigated the educational curriculum experienced by students with visual impairments in Turkey. The study made a distinction between the traditional academic curriculum and the concept of an ‘Expanded Core Curriculum’ (ECC) which includes a range of disability-specific areas (e.g. Mobility, Braille), and aimed to determine the balance of the curriculum experienced by individuals with visual impairments in Turkey. The study specifically examined the barriers to, and enablers for, an appropriate curriculum balance which would develop individuals’ independence. The study made use of an exploratory inductive research approach implementing a cross-sectional research design. Mixed method measures were drawn upon to capture the views of twelve young adults with visual impairments and thirteen educators of children and young adults with visual impairments who had a wide range of schooling and teaching experiences across Turkey. The analysis revealed an emphasis on teaching the academic curriculum with relatively little attention given to ECC. As a consequence, it was found that individuals with visual impairments were not fully prepared to be independent and encountered a number of barriers including: remaining dependent on others; isolation; and psychological challenges in their everyday life. A number of barriers to the teaching of ECC were revealed, including: educational policy priorities in Turkey which give little or no remit to teaching a broader curriculum (teachers were fixed upon teaching the inflexible academic curriculum); little resource is given to specialist teaching support in mainstream schools; and specialist teacher training appears not to align to the educational context in which they work. Finally, the research identified other barriers to developing an individual’s independence which are beyond the teaching of ECC, including inaccessible environments and equipment, and inadequate accommodations and adjustments. i Contents page Abstract i Contents page ..................................................................................................................... ii List of figures ...................................................................................................................... v List of tables ....................................................................................................................... v Glossary ............................................................................................................................. vi Dedication ......................................................................................................................... vii Acknowledgements .......................................................................................................... viii Chapter 1.

  • Recommendation Systems for Tourism Based on Social Networks: a Survey
    Noname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Recommendation Systems for Tourism Based on Social Networks: A Survey Alan Menk · Laura Sebastia · Rebeca Ferreira Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract Nowadays, recommender systems are present in many daily activities such as online shop- ping, browsing social networks, etc. Given the rising demand for reinvigoration of the tourist industry through information technology, recommenders have been included into tourism websites such as Ex- pedia, Booking or Tripadvisor, among others. Furthermore, the amount of scientific papers related to recommender systems for tourism is on solid and continuous growth since 2004. Much of this growth is due to social networks that, besides to offer researchers the possibility of using a great mass of available and constantly updated data, they also enable the recommendation systems to become more personalised, effective and natural. This paper reviews and analyses many research publications fo- cusing on tourism recommender systems that use social networks in their projects. We detail their main characteristics, like which social networks are exploited, which data is extracted, the applied rec- ommendation techniques, the methods of evaluation, etc. Through a comprehensive literature review, we aim to collaborate with the future recommender systems, by giving some clear classifications and descriptions of the current tourism recommender systems. Keywords Recommendation systems · Tourism · Social Media · Social Networks 1 Introduction The expansion of the use of Social Networks (SNs) has become clear when looking at the increase in the number of users and the data volume in these networks. In 2016, 79% of U.S. adults that accessed the internet used the SN Facebook (Greenwood et al, 2016).

  • The Status of Resource Management and Certification in Tourism Sustainability Implementation Literature
    THE STATUS OF RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND CERTIFICATION IN TOURISM SUSTAINABILITY IMPLEMENTATION LITERATURE Fatima Lampreia-Carvalho1 ABSTRACT The present article aims to explain why community-based natural resource management and tourism certification are the main concerns in academic literature on tourism sustainability implementation. The method of choice is a systematic review of literature based on the Prisma Statement for Systematic Reviews. Sources of interest were identified within the Web of Science Core Collection and other repositories. From a total of 430 records screened, 106 stable documents were selected and submitted to content analysis to create a matrix coding of mentions of sustainable tourism implementation in highly cited publications. A content analysis revealed that sustainable tourism implementation encompasses eight sub-categories of interest in current research outputs. Those sub-categories are: (1) Adaptive resource management (ARM), (2) Carbon mitigation approach; (3) Community-based Conservation Areas (CCAs) and Community -based ecotourism; (4) Community-based natural resource management (CBNRM); (5) Multi- objective Optimization model (6) Social reinvestment strategy; (7) Tourism Sustainability Certification and (8) Transition Management. The analysis revealed that implementation strategies such as Community-based natural resource management and the Tourism Certification Approach, covered 60 percent of all mentions of methods of sustainability implementation in the literature selected and should be treated as
