In this compilation, the authors analyze how urban sustainability
characteristics influence tourists when choosing a destination.
Using a survey-based comparative analysis between Quebec City and
Bordeaux, we assess tourists sensitivity to economic,
environmental, social and cultural indicators of urban
sustainability. The results suggest the relevance of using online
and social media to improve tourists awareness of the
multidimensional nature of urban sustainability, while attracting
younger and well-informed visitors. The formation of the working
class in Catalonia bears a clear migratory imprint. In the second
half of the 20th century migrant workers came from the south of
Spain, and in the last 15 years they have come from non-European
countries. This compilation aims to determine to what extent older
migrants identify with newer migrants by comparing two Catalan
working-class areas with a markedly different politics of memory,
and showing how this affects possibilities of identification
between old and new migrants. The next chapter proposes the Country
Reputation Kaleidoscope Model (CRepK Model) as a
theoretic-methodological framework using the case of Brazil, based
on empirical evidences. The purpose of this cross-disciplinary
research is to advance into the evolution of country reputation
theory. The Scandinavian Bronze Age started quite rapidly in around
1750 BC, and is marked by three simultaneous events: importation of
bronze from the east Mediterranean region, export of amber from
southeast Sweden to the eastern Mediterranean region, and the
carving of pictures of big ships on bedrock and boulders in
southern Scandinavia. In this collection, the authors summarize and
update available data, especially the data from southern Sweden.
Following this, a study describes the short-term mapping of urban
areas in Prague and its closest surroundings from 1984 to 2017.
Mapping was carried out using a number of Landsat images that
employ spectral information from base bands and other information
on vegetation indices, such as the Normalized Difference Vegetation
Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) and
Modified Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI), and also land
surface temperatures. Over the last few years, Tuscany has been
strongly characterized by a number of economic events and
operations where globalization has been one of the main drivers.
Several local firms are attempting to survive in the global market,
with the strategic plan to offer products and services that
reinforce their specialization. They maintain a strong local
identity with the history, tradition and local knowledge embedded
in the Region while striving to gain an international relevance.
The authors aim to address whether preserving the cultural heritage
of the Tuscan Region as an outstanding resource for sustainable
development could be the leading driver for the next future
economic success. The authors go on to tell the story of the
iconography of the Infant Jesus of Prague and the strong devotion
that characterizes it and has changed the history of the city. In
addition to the classical representation of the blessing Jesus,
usually in the arms of the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, there is
that of the Infant Jesus of Prague, of which a strong devotion
spread in Bohemia in 1600. The origin of this small, 45 cm-high wax
statue and the name of the artist who created it is unknown. The
closing article points out that the authors of the most
comprehensive monographs on the prehistory of Cyprus almost
completely ignored its northwestern part. However, this area,
judging from the results of both earlier and recent research,
cannot be considered terra inhabitata, since it was settled at
least from the Late Neolithic period to the end of the Bronze Age.
The authors suggest that these deficiencies mislead the potential
reader, especially less familiar with archaeology of the island.
