... The relationship between climate change and tourism is quite intricate. Climate change is already impacting investment, planning, and operations in the tourist industry (Song, 2023). The anthropogenic causes of Climate Change, which are tangible in phenomena such as deforestation, burning of fossil fuels, and land use change, are well-established in the scientific community, but understanding how implementing a change is still a complex issue, even though the intricate relationship between Climate Change and tourism underscores the need for immediate action. ...
... Researchers have studied the nexus and interaction between Climate Change and Tourism and strategies to approach the decarbonization transition (Song, 2023). Since 2012, the number of publications has increased, but after 2016, the number of publications tripled and still arises (Dube, 2024). ...
... The significant willingness to pay (WTP) for solar-powered and wind-powered electric transportation among tourists underscores their support for substantial emission reduction initiatives, highlighting the potential of using tourist contributions as a viable funding source for sustainable projects, thereby easing the financial burdens on local communities and governments (Taghizadeh-Hesary & Yoshino, 2020). Studies have shown that tourists are increasingly willing to pay a premium for sustainable tourism options, which reflects a growing trend towards environmentally conscious travel (Afzal et al., 2024;Batool et al., 2024;Song, 2023). This trend is further evidenced by the willingness of tourists to pay for green certifications in hotels, such as those found in Gili Trawangan, Indonesia, where hotels that meet environmental standards attract a premium from eco-conscious tourists (Nelson et al., 2021). ...
... Stakeholders play an essential role in implementing it, and their performance affects the destination environment and influences pro-environmentally responsible behaviour (Lee et al., 2021;Su et al., 2018). Their engagement direct impact on climate change mitigation, which involves decreasing carbon emissions (Fakfare and Wattanacharoensil, 2023;Song, 2022), preserving wilderness (Hovelsrud et al., 2021) and proposing a holistic approach with a strategic plan for managing the impacts on a destination (Grydehøj and Kelman, 2017) to enhance carbon absorption, restore biodiversity, and improve livelihoods (Ashok et al., 2022). Likewise, sustainable forest management and ecotourism promotion can help alleviate the adverse effects of deforestation on the tourism sector (Gu, 2023). ...
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 decisionmaking
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.
... Since then, however, a sharp decline in their populations has been observed, which is not limited to Jeju Island but affects their entire distributional ranges (Vergés et al. 2014). In addition, whitening events of barren grounds colonized by CCA have seen an increase of their occurrence in fast-warming areas around Jeju Island (Hwang et al. 2017;Serisawa et al. 2004;Song 2022). Alongside, previous studies have observed that the populations of subtropical corals seem expanding, probably related to increasingly favorable conditions around the island . ...
Populations of the subtropical coral Alveopora japonica Eguchi, 1965 are expanding, likely in response to changes in coastal water conditions caused by human activities and climatic factors. To uncover the causes of population increase, we propose the establishment of a long-term monitoring station to comprehensively assess the drivers of population dynamics. Therefore, the aim of this study was to obtain baseline information on A. japonica in Oedo at Jeju Island (Korea) by documenting ben-thic composition and characteristics of A. japonica populations at different depths. In Oedo, the distribution of A. japonica is mainly restricted to 15-m depth where a high density of colonies was observed (410 ± 123 colonies m −2). These colonies consist predominantly of small colonies with individual or few polyps and are associated with a vertical shift in benthic composition and interactions. Indeed, comparing results with shallower waters where A. japonica is absent and geniculate coralline algae dominate (66.5 ± 2.2% at 5-m and 60.5 ± 2.7% at 10-m depth), a contrasting pattern emerges at 15-m depth. Here, crustose coralline algae make up the majority of the substrate at 56.1 ± 3.4%. These possible biotic drivers are discussed in conjunction with other abiotic factors such as temperature to explain the benthic community composition in Oedo. Given the current benthic structure and accessibility of the study area, Oedo proves to be an ideal sentinel site for monitoring the effects of anthropogenic disturbances, especially global warming, on temperate marine ecosystems.
... In the case of the targeted surveillance system, in Jeju-do, located at the southernmost tip of the ROK and identified as a high-risk region for vector-borne diseases [32][33][34], additional tests were undertaken to detect BTV RNA. This measure was implemented to swiftly confirm disease outbreaks and detect the bluetongue virus. ...
The bluetongue virus (BTV) is a significant animal pathogen with economic implications in the ruminant industry. Despite global reports on BTV detection and epidemiologic investigations, limited studies have focused on the virus in the ROK. In this study, BTV epidemiological research was conducted on blood samples from cattle and goat farms across nine regions during 2013–2014. The results showed that 3.33% of bovine blood samples (194/5824) and 0.19% of goat blood samples (2/1075) tested positive for BTV antibodies using ELISA. In Jeju-do, BTV RNA amplification occurred in 51 of 422 samples (12.1%) using real-time reverse transcription (RT-qPCR). The isolation of one sample revealed it as serotype 3, as indicated by the sequence of segments 2 (Seg-2) and 6 (Seg-6), associated with the eastern BTV topotype. However, based on Seg-1, -3, -4, -5, -7, -8, -9, and -10 analyses, the BTV-3/JJBB35 strain is more closely related to distinct BTV strains. These findings imply BTV circulation and that the Korean-isolated BTV might originate from Asian BTV strains due to multiple reassortment events. This study provides foundational data for ongoing BTV monitoring and disease-control policies in the ROK.
... Furthermore, the blooms of Ulva lactuca are creating oxygen depletion in underwater, killing sea animals, and damaging fishing equipment and vessels. The phenomenon is disapprovingly affecting the beauty of island's seashore areas and tumbling tourism, and recreational activities along the coastlines of Jeju Island [17][18][19][20]. Hence, many researchers want to find a utility application of Ulva lactuca because garbage disposal is not enough. ...
During the past times, the occurrence of macro alga Ulva lactuca on the coastal areas of Jeju Island, Korea, has resulted in the expansion of devastating green tides, thus affecting the coastal sustainability, aesthetic appearances, and tourism activities. Taking consideration of the above scenario, substantial economic costs are required for the environmental protection of the island, and it is highly recommended to employ Ulva lactuca in an alternative useful way. Hence, this paper proposes a new strategy to utilize Ulva lactuca as a tribopositive layer in triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). Based on the coastal bio-waste Ulva lactuca collected from Jeju Island, the fabricated TENG device generates a maximum output voltage of 875 V, output current of 52 µA, and power density of 272.72 µW/cm 2. Furthermore, the device presents excellent cyclic stability with no degradation in the output voltage even after 10000 consecutive cycles at a frequency of 2 Hz. The proposed TENG is further employed to charge the various commercially available capacitors, lightning LEDs, powering stopwatch, and scavenging energy from body motions. It is anticipated that the proposed TENG device will pave a new way towards Ulva lactuca management for sustainable energy harvesting and clean coastlines.

Climate change has increased the vulnerability of many communities and ecosystems, including those on islands. This study evaluates the patterns of scientific publication and visualises network connections between countries and keywords by presenting four sets of bibliometric analyses of publications related to “climate change and vulnerability”, “climate change and island”, “vulnerability and island”, and “vulnerability, climate change, and island”, as obtained from the Scopus database. Based on the combinations of keywords in the article, the study retrieved 1768 documents for “climate change and vulnerability”, 501 documents for “climate change and island”, 270 documents for “vulnerability and island”, and 37 documents for “vulnerability, climate change, and island” for further analysis using various tools. Microsoft Excel was used to conduct the frequency analysis, and Harzing’s Publish or Perish and VOSviewer were used for the citation metrics analysis and data visualisation, respectively. The results are reported using standard bibliometric indicators, such as the annual growth of publications, publications by subject, prolific authors, most active institutions, active journals, highly cited articles, co-authorship by countries, and co-occurrence keyword analysis. The findings revealed that there has been continuous growth in the number of publications on all four research topics since the first publication, and the main subject found on Scopus for all topics in Environmental Science. For “climate change and vulnerability”, the most productive author is James D. Ford, and the most active journal is Climatic Change. The most-cited document has received 3243 citations. Meanwhile, for “climate change and islands”, the most productive author and most active journals are Patrick D. Nunn and Regional Environmental Change, respectively, while the most cited document has received 285 citations. Subsequently, the most productive authors for “vulnerability and island” and “climate change, vulnerability, and island” received 627 citations and 154 citations, respectively. The country with the most links and highest total link strength was the United States of America, according to co-occurrence analysis between countries. Current themes are discussed, and future possible research is suggested based on the clustering of the keywords. Among the clusters that emerged from the network visualisations are those focused on the ecosystem, adaptation, water resources, human and health risk assessments, coastal vulnerability and management, and agricultural and resource management. This study will benefit policymakers, researchers, environmental practitioners, and the public because it provides a comprehensive overview of existing research, potential research directions, and the current state of knowledge on the topic, allowing a better understanding of the research landscape.

The present research aims to enhance the understanding of island travelers and their behavior through the lens of the environmental locus of control. This study incorporates the important factors of cognitive and affective stages that influence pro‐environmental behavior depending on the level of internal and external environmental locus of control. The research findings provide evidence about the level of environmental locus of control in regards to island travelers and the formation process of pro‐environmental behavior based on the cognition‐affection‐conation model. Last, this research shows how the internal and external environmental locus of control moderate the relationships among the core constructs that contribute in order to develop environmentally friendly behavior. The findings offer several academic and practical implications for sustainable island tourism.
