Description of the research topic:
II. DETAILED RESEARCH TOPIC PROPOSAL
Research fields and possible research directions, expected methods of research. Research on sustainability, tourism and rural development is a particularly important topic nowadays, both abroad and in our country. The definitions and principles of responsible and responsible tourism are constantly changing. However, there is a consensus that responsible tourism minimizes negative environmental, economic, social and cultural impacts, generates more economic benefits for the local society, thereby increasing the well-being and prosperity
of the local community, expanding employment opportunities and providing local people with the opportunity to engage with tourism. It involves local stakeholders in decisions that affect their daily lives, their quality of life and contribute to the preservation of environmental, economic, social and cultural heritage. Developing tourism in this way is an important aspect of building mutually respectful relations between tourists and local people, thus strengthening their identity and their trust in the tourists who visit them. These principles and their implementation are particularly important in rural areas. Research into these issues is at the
forefront internationally, is very popular and provides answers to questions that affect many people.
Formulation of possible research directions:
Use of alternative methods.
Exploring smart solutions.
Adapting creative tools.
Using innovative interventions.
Suggestions to decision-makers.
Research methods:
Research methods:
A wide range of research methods can be applied to the topic of sustainability, tourism and rural development to gain a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the subject. Some of these include:
- Quantitative research methods:
Surveys and questionnaires: these can be used to determine tourists' preferences, behaviour and attitudes towards sustainability issues. Data analysis: Analysis of available statistics and data can be used to identify trends and impacts of the relationship between tourism and rural development.
- Qualitative research methods:
In-depth interviews and group discussions: these allow detailed information and feelings to be gathered on the views and experiences of local people, businesses and other stakeholders.
Observation and participant observation: on-site observations can reveal the impacts of tourism on rural communities and the environment.
- Computer modelling and simulation:
Economic modelling: This can be used to determine the economic impacts of tourism in rural areas.
Environmental modelling: Models can be used to estimate the environmental impacts of tourism and their long-term consequences.
- Comparative analysis:
International comparative research: analyses of research in other countries can be used to draw more general conclusions about the relationship between sustainable tourism and rural
development.
