The number of hours individuals spend in front of screens, such as
smartphones, televisions, computers, and tablets, is enormous in
today's society because screen time plays a very important role in

people and can have a lasting impact on how a society approaches
screen time. Managing Screen Time in an Online Society is a
collection of innovative research on how screen time seduces the

Digital communication is significantly expanding new opportunities
and challenges in the tourism industry. Tourists, now more
frequently than ever, bring their smartphones with them to every
destination, and cultural tourists are particularly motivated to
utilize a variety of services and platforms as they are especially
open and interested in understanding in detail the places and
heritage of the places they visit. Thus, researchers, educators,
and professionals in the tourism and hospitality field should take
advantage of this opportunity to propose new ways of presenting
better content and creating a more immersive and optimized
experience for tourists. The Handbook of Research on Digital
Communications, Internet of Things, and the Future of Cultural
Tourism shares research and experiences on the convergence between
digital communication and cultural tourism, specifically the
migration and creative appropriation of these technologies for
increased tourist engagement and their role in destination
marketing and strategic planning and decision making. Covering
topics such as big data, e-tourism, and social media platforms,
this major reference work is an invaluable resource for
researchers, students, professors, academicians, government
entities, museum managers, professionals, and cultural tourism
managers and facilitators.
The contemporary world is characterized by the massive use of
digital communication platforms and services that allow people to
stay in touch with each other and their organizations. On the other
hand, it is also a world with great challenges in terms of crisis,
disaster, and emergency situations of various kinds. Thus, it is
crucial to understand the role of digital platforms/services in the
context of crisis, disaster, and emergency situations. The Handbook
of Research on Digital Services in Crisis, Disaster, and Emergency
Situations presents recent studies on crisis, disaster, and
emergency situations in which digital technologies are considered
as a key mediator. Featuring multi- and interdisciplinary research
findings, this comprehensive reference work highlights the
relevance of society's digitization and its usefulness and
contribution to the different phases and types of risk scenarios.
Thus, the book investigates the design of digital services that are
specifically developed for use in crisis situations and examines
services such as online social networks that can be used for
communication purposes in emergency events. Highlighting themes
that include crisis management communication, risk monitoring,
digital crisis intervention, and smartphone applications, this book
is of particular use to governments, institutions, corporations,
and professionals who deal with crisis, disaster, and emergency
scenarios, as well as researchers, academicians, and students
working in fields such as communications, multimedia, sociology,
political science, and engineering.
Cultural heritage is perceived as the glue that keeps individuals
together and makes them feel a part of something larger. It is the
past that allows individuals to understand their present and move
towards the future. In networked society, it is impossible to think
about cultural heritage and its preservation and maintenance
without including the digital processes and ICT systems, as well as
its impact on territorial innovation. The Handbook of Research on
Cultural Heritage and Its Impact on Territory Innovation and
Development is a critical and comprehensive reference book that
analyzes how preservation and sustainability of cultural heritage
occurs in countries, as well as how it contributes to territorial
innovation. Moreover, the book examines how technological tools
contribute to its preservation and sustainability, as well as its
dissemination. Highlighting topics that include public policies,
spatial development, and architectural heritage, this book is ideal
for cultural heritage professionals, government officials,
policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students.
