As a vital industry interconnected with the country's economy, it is crucial to understand the pandemic's impact on Bangladesh's tourism industry and identify ways to recover from its adverse effects. To that end, we employ a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modeling framework to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on Bangladesh's tourism industry and highlight the role of digital innovation in recovery. We simulate multiple policy experiments and find that expediting digital innovation can help the tourism industry recover from the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic without any negative macroeconomic consequences. Moreover, we develop a conceptual framework that shows the interplay of stakeholders for augmenting digitization in the tourism industry, leading to green tourism development. To achieve sustainable tourism through digitization, we propose policies to ensure effective industry planning, diffusion, and decision-making among the stakeholders in the tourism industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34478,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Futures","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100841"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144297662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current surveillance systems track nearly 40,000 larger debris fragments, yet it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of smaller pieces and millions of tiny, untracked particles further contribute to the risk of high-velocity collisions. These objects threaten spacecraft integrity, satellite functionality, and the long-term sustainability of space activities. This review article investigates the hazards posed by space debris, providing an overview of its impact on satellite operations, crewed space missions, and orbital stability. It examines risk mitigation strategies, including the enforcement of stricter disposal regulations, advancements in satellite design for controlled re-entry or deorbiting, and the active removal of large debris objects. A structured approach to space debris mitigation is also explored, outlining a proposed four-step strategy: designing spacecraft for impact resistance, implementing advanced remote tracking and monitoring systems, integrating onboard detection and avoidance mechanisms, and developing impact mitigation strategies to minimize damage. Additionally, the importance of enhanced tracking technologies and international cooperation is underscored, as collective efforts are necessary to address this escalating issue. Increasing awareness of the growing risks and exploring practical mitigation strategies strengthens ongoing efforts to safeguard space activities and ensure the long-term viability of Earth's orbital environment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34478,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Futures","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100849"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144313710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing a conceptual framework where business and entrepreneur objectives shape business motivations, which then drive strategic decisions like innovation, the analysis reveals that purpose-driven entrepreneurship aims for broader market impact and positively affects both product/service innovation and the implementation of new technologies or processes. Notably, national altruism negatively moderates the link between purpose and innovation. This finding is further supported by an expanded sample considering cultural dimensions.

However, few studies have considered the compound effects of these factors on purchase intention from the perspectives of psychology and behavioral science. Therefore, based on the research of previous scholars, this study constructs a three-dimensional degree-driven complex chain mediation model based on the expectation confirmation model and explores how different motivators affect purchase intention through psychological and behavioral mechanisms through consumer research. The results show that (1) motivations for sustainable consumption significantly and positively affect the purchase intention of new energy vehicles. (2) Offline experience behavior mediates between green self-efficacy and motivations for sustainable consumption behavior.
