旅游与常住

开放陆客台湾游的几年来,两岸民众在加深了解、增进感情之外,也显露出一些需要改善之处。就细微之处而言,公厕排队、地铁车厢内不准吃东西喝饮料等就是大陆游客须适应并遵守的。     

旅游与居家

当我们在一个固定的地方工作、生活久了,产生了心理和生理的疲倦,想调节、放松,于是就出外旅游,访名山大川,寻异域风情,赏奇花异草,观他乡人文历史。旅游是短暂的,手段是猎奇、对照、思考,目的是为了调节身体和情绪,为更好的工作、学习和生活而服务。居家是长期而比较固定的。所谓安居,方能乐业。居“安”的条件是平常、习惯、习俗,是合于居者的思想、文化、

高职高专院校旅游英语专业建设的思考

据世界旅游组织预测：“到2020年中国将成为世界第一位旅游接待大国和第四位客源输出国。”届时我国入境游客将达1．37亿人次,出境人数将超过1亿人次。面对巨大的涉外旅游市场,涉外旅游人才的需求量也急剧增长。由于我国旅游高等教育起步较晚,旅游人才培养滞后于市场需求的问题十分突出。目前,涉外旅游人才不仅在总量上不能满足市场需求,在质量上更存在差距。

Travel Broadens the Mind

The onset of locomotion heralds one of the major life transitions in early development and involves a pervasive set of changes in perception, spatial cognition, and social and emotional development. Through a synthesis of published and hitherto unpublished findings, gathered from a number of converging research designs and methods, this article provides a comprehensive review and reanalysis of the consequences of self‐produced locomotor experience. Specifically, we focus on the role of locomotor experience in changes in social and emotional development, referential gestural communication, wariness of heights, the perception of self‐motion, distance perception, spatial search, and spatial coding strategies. Our analysis reveals new insights into the specific processes by which locomotor experience brings about psychological changes. We elaborate these processes and provide new predictions about previously unsuspected links between locomotor experience and psychological function. The research we describe is relevant to our broad understanding of the developmental process, particularly as it pertains to developmental transitions. Although acknowledging the role of genetically mediated developmental changes, our viewpoint is a transactional one in which a single acquisition, in this case the onset of locomotion, sets in motion a family of experiences and processes that in turn mobilize both broad‐based and context‐specific psychological reorganizations. We conclude that, in infancy, the onset of locomotor experience brings about widespread consequences, and after infancy, can be responsible for an enduring role in development by maintaining and updating existing skills.     

When Political Freedom Does Not Offer Travel Freedom: The Varying Determinants of Visa-Free Travel Opportunities

The ease with which a person can travel abroad may greatly impact the possibilities of what they can achieve in life. Previous scholars have found that as a country politically liberalizes and becomes wealthier its nationals can travel to more countries without a visa. After analysing data from Henley and Partners, the World Bank, and Freedom House for 154 countries, I find that this is only true for nationals from countries with above-average incomes. Among the bottom half of countries in the income distribution and the most unequal societies, nationals in politically free countries do not have greater visa-free mobility than nationals in less politically free countries. The higher a country's income per capita, the more travel opportunities its citizens lose because their society is not completely politically free. My findings have implications for how policymakers evaluate the costs of both migration policies and policies that politically and economically liberalize societies.     

Global Studies: Have Catechism,Will Travel

This second response to comments on my article ‘What is Global studies?’ (Globalizations 10, 4, 2013) notes that the comments feature research agendas. These provide scaffolding for global studies but not of course a complete building. Among themes that need further attention are political economy and finance, the dimension of time and history, and the dynamics of twenty-first century globalization and the role of emerging economies.     

城市居民低碳出行研究

低碳交通是低能耗、低污染、低排放的交通方式。居民是城市交通的主体,其出行方式决定着交通工具使用比例和使用程度,影响着城市低碳交通方式的建构。因此,在完善交通硬件建设为居民提供良好的出行条件的同时,要利用政策、教育、宣传方式大力培养居民低碳出行方式。     

Understanding the Demand for Travel: It's Not Purely 'Derived'

We contest the derived demand paradigm for travel as a behavioural absolute. To the contrary, we suggest that travel has an intrinsic positive utility and is valued for its own sake, not just as a means of reaching a destination. We argue that the same positive characteristics that lead people to engage in travel as a recreational activity in itself are likely to motivate them to engage in apparently excess travel in the context of their mandatory and maintenance activities as well. This paper explores the conceptual basis of a positive utility for travel, and presents some results from an ongoing empirical study of attitudes toward travel. In modelling distance travelled (in each of 11 categories), we found that subjective variables such as Travel Liking, the adventure-seeker Personality trait, the travel stress Attitudinal factor, and the Excess Travel indicator added considerable explanatory power to the Demographic variables traditionally used in such models. It appears that, far from being completely determined by demographically based needs, the amount of travel demanded is heavily influenced by one's attitudes toward travel. This is not only true for discretionary (entertainment) purposes, as would be expected, but for more 'mandatory' purposes such as work/school-related activities as well. We are convinced that the demand for travel arises from a fundamental human need for mobility and other subjective characteristics, as well as from the external causes typically measured. To more accurately forecast travel demand and policy response, the role of those subjective characteristics needs to be understood much better than it is at present.
