  • The Concept of Cittaslow As a Marketing Tool for Destination Development: the Case of Mugla, Turkey
    American International Journal of Social Science Vol. 4, No. 3; June 2015 The Concept of Cittaslow as a Marketing Tool for Destination Development: The Case of Mugla, Turkey Aydan Bekar Nisan Yozukmaz Çağrı Sürücü Ahmet Metehan Gövce Faculty of Tourism Mugla SitkiKocman University Mugla, Turkey Abstract Akyaka town situated in the southern coast of Aegean Sea in Turkey has gained a different status from other touristic destinations due to its participation in the Cittaslow network in 2011. The process of Akyaka’s participation in this network; the effects of this participation on tourism and its usage as a marketing tool in destination development are the issues dealt in this study. The sample is Akyaka town in Mugla province of Turkey. Interview and observation techniques which are qualitative data collection methods are applied. As a result, it is determined that Cittaslow title has not been used for destination marketing on purpose; but rather it is considered as a factor of sustainability and as a factor increasing life quality and standards of locals. It is found that the priority of local administration is to protect natural environment and the sustainability of natural resources instead of increasing the tourist number. Keywords: Cittaslow; destination development; destination marketing; local administration; Akyaka 1. Introduction One of the most important tools that destination managements use for obtaining competitive advantage by differentiating themselves from others and for attracting more visitors and investors is destination branding (Govers& Go, 2009:5). Having a strong destination brand gives the destination an advantage in the struggle of product differentiation, substitutability and competitiveness regardless of the size or population of the destination (Morgan, Pritchard & Pride, 2011:5).

ICLEI is proud to have enlarged its presence and capacity to support East Asian cities in their sustainability efforts and to engage them in our programs. The ICLEI East Asia Secretariat has launched two programs this past year. The Energy-safe Cities East Asia program works with three cities each from China, Japan and South Korea and one Mongolian city to explore with which currently available technologies and at what costs the cities could transform their urban energy systems to become low-carbon, low-risk and resilient – practically 100% renewable – by the year 2030. True, it is an ambitious approach, but how can we make a difference if we are not ambitious? After one and a half year of preparations we have launched the program with a first experts symposium held in Beijing in October 2014. As a precursor of a Green Public Procurement program for Chinese cities we have organized EcoProcura© China 2014, an international symposium in Beijing that brought experts from the Chinese government, international organizations, Chinese as well as foreign cities together for an exchange of information, practices and experiences. We have been present at key events in China and spurred attention to resilience in urban planning and management and brisked up the discussion on car-centered urban development by calling for EcoMobility-oriented planning.

The focus of the research is the significance of dependence for communities to survive and adapt in times of environmental disasters. It shifts the emphasis on self-reliant communities for survival and examines the types and effects of dependence and external linkages by analyzing the range of community responses that include initial responses, early social impact, compensation, and conflicts after the Hebei-Spirit oil spill in December 2007 in Korea. The findings reveal that dependence is necessary, and the effects of dependence can be both positive and negative depending on the relations between external entities and affected communities as well as the community capacity to absorb resources and information. Key Words: community adaptation; community dependence; resource; Hebei-Spirit; knowledge; oil spill INTRODUCTION and negative depending on the relations between external How do communities adapt to new environmental disasters? entities and affected communities.

  • A Case Study of Polish Coastal Cittaslow Towns on the Pomeranian Way of St
    land Article Architectural and Urban Attractiveness of Small Towns: A Case Study of Polish Coastal Cittaslow Towns on the Pomeranian Way of St. James Alicja K. Zawadzka Department of Landscape Research and Environmental Management, Faculty of Oceanography and Geography, University of Gda´nsk,Bazy´nskiego4,˙ 80-309 Gda´nsk,Poland; [email protected] Abstract: The paper presents the results of a study on the attractiveness to tourists and natives of the cultural qualities of coastal towns on The Pomeranian Way of St. James that are members of the Cittaslow network. Attention to the quality of urban life is inscribed in the development policies of towns applying to join the Cittaslow movement. In order to join the network (apart from the size criterion), towns need to meet a minimum of 50% plus one of the 72 criteria grouped into seven categories. One of the category is Quality of Urban Life Policy, so the towns applying to join Cittaslow commit themselves to actions aimed at improving the quality of urban life. The study on the attractiveness of cultural qualities of towns to tourists and natives was conducted using the author’s BRB method, whose added value is its universality and the possibility to study small towns regardless of their membership in the Cittaslow network. BRB is an acronym that stands for BUILDINGS, RELATIONSHIPS, BALANCE, and comprises three scopes of activities: BUILDINGS (iconic building and important sites where the inhabitants and the tourists are present); RELATIONSHIPS (the visual effects of the relations between the inhabitants and the town) and Citation: Zawadzka, A.K.

Executive Summary To many Koreans, the concept of disaster management will be relatively new and unfamiliar since people often thought of disasters as destiny, and as the government historically did not put much effort into “managing” disasters with an effective system. It is only after Sewol ferry incident of 2014 that Koreans began to realize how important it is to effectively manage disasters, which can happen anytime, anywhere, without warning. In recent years, the Korean government has taken steps to improve the country’s disaster management system, first by establishing the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in 2004, and then by replacing NEMA with the newly-created Ministry of Public Safety and Security (MPSS) in 2014. However, to the author, it is unclear as to whether the government is ready to admit the mistakes of the past, learn from the past tragedies, and really try to change the country’s approach to emergency management.

  • The Potential of Cittaslow for Sustainable Tourism Development: Enhancing Local Community’S Empowerment
    The potential of Cittaslow for sustainable tourism development: Enhancing local community’s empowerment Dr Eerang Park Lecturer in Tourism and Events Management Lincoln Business School University of Lincoln Brayford Pool Lincoln LN6 7TS United Kingdom P: +44 (0)1522 835537 F: +44 (0)1522 835600 [email protected] Dr Sangkyun (Sean) Kim* Senior Lecturer in Tourism Department of Tourism School of Humanities and Creative Arts Flinders University GPO Box 2100 Adelaide SA 5001 Australia P: +61 8 8201 3039 F: +61 8 8201 3635 [email protected] Abstract The slow movement has recently offered an alternative approach to sustainable tourism development, and this study aims to investigate the potential of Cittaslow philosophy and practices for enhancing local community involvement and empowerment in the tourism sector through which sustainable tourism is better implemented. Qualitative research was conducted on the case of Goolwa in South Australia, the first non-European Cittaslow. The results reveal that not only did Cittaslow accreditation and its accompanying practices encourage local community participation in decision making processes, but also revitalised the locality of Goolwa through promoting local specialities and products, in particular food and wine. A stronger and more effective collaboration among local communities, businesses and residents after the Cittaslow accreditation was noted in the context of psychological and social aspects of local community empowerment, especially for developing and managing tourism. This paper further discusses the implications of Cittaslow through which local community empowerment and sustainability in tourism can be more achievable. Keywords: slow city, small-scale, sustainable tourism, community involvement, psychological empowerment, social empowerment, Australia * Corresponding author Introduction The concept of sustainability has for some time been at the centre of tourism and destination development.
