The concept of crowdsourcing sounds like a potentially useful method to gather information collectively contributed by a group of individuals. However, how willing would individuals actually be in contributing information in reality? This paper primarily presents the findings from a visitor survey conducted at a prominent National Park in Victoria, Australia, as part of a research project. The ...

Urban growth creates challenges recognized by the global community. Sustainable development is a widely accepted strategic framework in city planning and urban parks play an important role in it. Nonetheless, it is argued, that urban parks and other open green spaces are important for the quality of life of an increasingly urbanized society. Following the industrial revolution with its massive ...

The private theme parks are gradually surpassing public-owned scenic areas after many years of development and have become a mainstream choice for domestic tourists. Previous studies show that visitors from different backgrounds differ in consumer behavior and satisfaction factors. An understanding of visitor satisfaction is therefore of extreme importance to operators of privately-owned theme ...

Winter 2010 bons of green meandering through a largely gray landscape. They form an interconnected network of “green infrastructure” that can be integrated into “gray infrastructure.” The tools described here focus on trees and parks because they are the largest structural elements and responsible for most benefits and costs. Their value is equal to the net benefits that members of society obta...

This paper establishes a unified framework for the a posteriori error analysis of a large class of nonconforming finite element methods. The theory assures reliability and efficiency of explicit residual error estimates up to data oscillations under the conditions (H1)-(H2) and applies to several nonconforming finite elements: the Crouzeix-Raviart triangle element, the Han parallelogram element...
