摘要

可持续发展已成为许多旅游目的地在寻求振兴旅游业的同时应对气候变化问题的关键问题。为了应对这些挑战,有必要制定切实可行的战略来管理环境危机的有害影响。尽管可持续发展具有关键作用,但在实践中仍需要更多切实可行的解决方案。本文旨在:(i) 扩大关于可持续旅游业和减少气候变化影响的解决方案的讨论;(ii) 根据访问卢布尔雅那市的游客的看法,了解亲环境倡议与目的地特征之间的亲和力关系。本研究分析了游客对城市旅游目的地的感知,重点关注减少碳足迹和促进可持续发展。通过案例研究和应用亲和力理论(一种识别亲和力联系的特定算法),利用了一个包含 372 名访问卢布尔雅那的国际游客的数据库。本研究以解释为目标,采用综合方法(定量-定性)。研究结果证实,与游客最相关的目的地特征是可持续、环保和安全。研究确认了提高旅游业竞争力和可持续性的实用方法。研究结果有助于管理者和决策者制定基于可持续性的战略,减少决策的不确定性。此外,它还利用建模和模拟方法加深了对可持续旅游业和气候变化减缓战略的理论理解,其他研究人员可在不同情况下复制这种方法。这项创新性研究采用亲和力理论评估卢布尔雅那的城市可持续性,研究环境实践如何有助于减少气候变化的影响,以及游客如何看待这些实践。

Application of the Affinities Theory to the environmental sustainability of tourist destinations: The case of Ljubljana

Sustainability has become a critical concern for many destinations seeking to revitalize their tourism industry while also dealing with issues stemming from climate change. To address these challenges, practical strategies to manage the harmful effects of the environmental crisis are necessary. Despite the critical role of sustainability, there still needs to be more practical solutions for implementing it in practice. The article aims to (i) broaden the discussion on sustainable tourism and solutions to reduce the impacts of climate change, and (ii) to understand the relationships of affinities between pro-environmental initiatives and the characteristics of the destination based on the perceptions of tourists who visit the city of Ljubljana. This study analyses tourist perception in an urban destination focusing on reducing carbon footprint and promoting sustainable development. Through a case study and the application of Affinities Theory, a specific algorithm to recognise affinity connections, a database with 372 international tourists who visited Ljubljana is utilised. This study has an explanatory goal and uses a comprehensive method (quantitative-qualitative). The findings confirmed that the characteristics of the destination most relevant to the tourist are Sustainable, Environmentally Friendly, and Safe. The research acknowledged practical approaches to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of tourism. The results could assist managers and policymakers in formulating sustainability-based strategies and reducing decision-making uncertainty. Also, it deepens the theoretical understanding of sustainable tourism and climate change mitigation strategies using a modelling and simulation method that other researchers can replicate in different contexts. This innovative research employs the Affinities Theory to assess Ljubljana's urban sustainability, examining how environmental practices can help reduce climate change's impact and how tourists perceive these practices.
