The aim of this study is to empirically test the influence of demographic factors and emotional intelligence, which are regarded as influential factors, on the career adaptability of university students. The study sample consists of students at Akdeniz University Tourism Faculty, which is located in the city of Antalya, Turkey. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed among 341 students, selected by random sampling method and these were analysed by CHAID method, which is a decision tree application. Findings of the study reveal the effects of gender and emotional intelligence on various significance levels in classifying the students' career adaptability as high and low. Findings indicate that emotional intelligence and gender are significant variables that can be used to differentiate the career adaptability. It is concluded that women with a high emotional intelligence level tend to have high career adaptability. According to the findings of the study, it is observed that female students with high emotional intelligence are more likely to deal with the challenges of today's business world in a better way.","PeriodicalId":42370,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Hospitality and Tourism Research-AHTR","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2018-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86529215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research data comprised of 4473 studies published between 2007-2016 in the top-five journals of tourism field according to the Journal Citation Reports and 213 Turkey-originated studies published in 19 tourism and hospitality journals. The journals were examined in terms of number and types of publications, author-institution-country productivity, citation analysis, conceptual orientations and citation burst. In order to reveal the links between key words and the leading studies, social network analysis was utilized. Social network analysis facilitates mapping the links in a research community and specifying the key actors for the field development. According to research findings, experimental researches were observed to have an important place in both Turkey originated and other international publications. It was determined that topics of organizational behavior and management fields were studied the most, particularly the concepts such as attitude, perception, intention, experience, behavior and satisfaction were measured. Turkey originated publications often addressed conflict and behavior issues whereas other international publications focused on sustainable tourism, destinations, local people and travel experiences. It is considered that the research results would enable individuals interested in tourism discipline, in both scientific and sectorial terms, to have an overview of the research scope and intellectual framework of the field.","PeriodicalId":42370,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Hospitality and Tourism Research-AHTR","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2018-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85923144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although these areas are widespread in Turkey, it is thought that their resource value is thought to be underestimated. For this reason the purpose of this research is to identify the constraints in regards to use of national parks by local people and study the effects of demographic features on constraints. Since Antalya possesses a good number of areas to be used as national parks in Turkey, a mixed method research was designed. In the first stage of the study 100 people who were chosen as samples in Antalya have been interviewed. In the second stage a questionnaire was conducted to 2367 people. As the theoretical framework of the study, a three-dimensional leisure constraints model was used. In the study lack of information/facilities (structural) is the main restrictive aspect for the people’s use of national parks. It is established that this was followed, respectively, by accessibility/finance (structural), maintenance (structural), social (interpersonal) and individual/psychological (intrapersonal) aspects. It is also established that demographic features such as; sex, age, marital status, having a child, income and education levels effect use of national parks. After all, existence of structural constraints and dominant national park use are assumed to be advantageous in constraint management. It is suggested, within this coverage that the Turkish National Parks and the Tourism Authorities should change their management strategies on the matter.","PeriodicalId":42370,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Hospitality and Tourism Research-AHTR","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2018-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89297398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, to figure out the influential factors of customers’ impulse buying (ordering) behavior is imperative to restaurant operation and management. Does the dining environment of restaurant have any effect on impulse ordering behavior? Is reference group a factor in impulse ordering behavior? Whether customers’ personality traits play a role in their impulse ordering behavior? These questions are important but remain understanding in existing literature. Therefore, this study examines the relationship of these factors and impulse buying behavior by taking quantitative approach. The findings correspond to those of the research in impulse buying behavior.

What Regan says above basically addresses the commoditization of animals. Undoubtedly, tourism and its components incorporated in capitalism are to blame. This is why, in his book and philosophy, Regan asks to empty the cages and pools and wishes to free all animals involved in any shows.

Indeed, these threats make conservation and management of cultural heritage a complex process to deal with. Since the 1970s, the UNESCO started to issue many guidelines and charters related to the management and conservation of the cultural heritage. Meanwhile, the Cultural Heritage Management (CHM) including sustainability has become a significant concept especially in the European countries. Turkey and Egypt are famous for their diversified cultural and natural heritage attractions which give an opportunity for both countries to be appealing tourist destinations Nevertheless, cultural heritage of Turkey and Egypt suffers from several major problems at present. All of these require a selective policy, urgent conservation, constant monitoring, protection, and maintenance. This paper aims to examine and compare cultural heritage management in both countries according to specific criteria which will evaluate the current situation of the cultural heritage management in Turkey and Egypt from different aspects (legal framework, institutional/administrational framework, resources, and current challenges). Also, this paper shows how the cultural heritage management has been developed in both countries. Generally, it highlights the increasing importance of cultural heritage management.
