Abstract

Tourism planning is a vital link in tourism. Compared with the traditional tourism planning based on experience, it is more scientific and reasonable to formulate through mathematical modeling methods. This paper mainly studies the construction of tourism planning information system based on ant colony(AC) algorithm. In the solution process, for the problems with more attractions, you need to divide the area first, then solve each area separately, and then transform the result of the solution into the regional self-driving tour route planning, and finally form a self-driving tour route planning. The experiments in this article found that most of the area tour time is closer to 15 days, which reduces the number of outings in a year and effectively reduces the round-trip time. In this paper, the system construction of self-driving tour route planning problems and ideas for solving specific problems are suitable for route planning in scenic spots or scenic spots, and have certain reference value.

Abstract. Tourism planning is a vital link in tourism. Compared with the traditional
tourism planning based on experience, it is more scientific and reasonable to formulate
through mathematical modeling methods. This paper mainly studies the construction
of tourism planning information system based on ant colony(AC) algorithm. In the
solution process, for the problems with more attractions, you need to divide the area
first, then solve each area separately, and then transform the result of the solution into
the regional self-driving tour route planning, and finally form a self-driving tour route
planning. The experiments in this article found that most of the area tour time is closer
to 15 days, which reduces the number of outings in a year and effectively reduces the
round-trip time. In this paper, the system construction of self-driving tour route
planning problems and ideas for solving specific problems are suitable for route
planning in scenic spots or scenic spots, and have certain reference value.

1. Introduction
China has abundant natural tourism resources and humanistic tourism resources. The potential
advantages of tourism resources have gradually been transformed into economic advantages in which
the Chinese can survive.Over the years, China's tourism industry has made remarkable achievements
in terms of number of visitors, foreign exchange earnings, and construction of tourism infrastructure.
However, with the continuous improvement of the national economic strength, the people's demand
for tourism consumption has also gradually increased, and the number of inbound and outbound
tourism has also increased, and more and more people are blind Consumption of travel abroad is a
burden on the national economy, and at the same time it has a certain impact on China's sustainable
development and social stability. Therefore, we need a feasible domestic tourism planning information
system to make more tourism enthusiasts willing to travel in their own country and bring the national
economy to a higher level.
Tourism Planning Information System (TPIS) is a technology that uses geographic information
system (GIS), remote sensing technology (RS), multimedia and other technologies to collect, store,
analyze, manage, maintain and assist decision-making in tourism planning Support system [1, 2].
Based on the universal geographic information system, some simple tourism planning tasks can be

directly implemented, and the construction of TPISs is a high-level goal of geographic information
systems in tourism planning.To achieve the purpose of automatically or semi-automatically
completing the complex tasks in tourism planning [3, 4]. The perfect TPIS can enable the integrated
planning functions of TPIS. The basic software platform and core technology for the construction and
application of TPISs is GIS [5]. In recent years, the application of geographic information systems in
tourism planning has mainly focused on the development and application of tourism geographic
information systems. The construction and application of TPISs is one of the important new areas.
Based on the basic principles of tourism planning, geographic information systems, and databases,
this paper proposes the main technical links for building a tourism planning information database. This
paper discusses several spatial mathematical models commonly used in tourism planning, such as the
establishment of overlay analysis, buffer analysis, and network analysis. Based on the GIS spatial
analysis method, the automatic extraction of terrain factors in tourist areas, the analysis of terrain and
the evaluation of the suitability of tourist areas are realized. The idea of constructing a TPIS platform
was proposed, and the overall structure and main functions of the system were preliminarily designed.
Furthermore, the visualization function of the TPIS is applied to the analysis of the source market, the
network model and the suitability model are introduced into the selection of tourist facilities, the
network model and the overlay model are applied to the route design, and the space calculation is
applied to the environmental capacity In the planning process, the plan can be quantified, modeled,
and informatized.

2.2 Establishment of Tourism Planning Information Database
Obtaining comprehensive and accurate information is the basis and key link of tourism planning. Its
work is complicated and costly. Compared with the urban planning management information system,
the data collection cost in the TPIS will account for more than 85% of the total system development
cost [7, 8]. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore technology means based on GIS, RS, GPS
and other methods to obtain information, and establish a tourism planning information database based
on GIS to edit, process and analyze data.
Tourism planning information mainly includes four types of information: tourism resource
information, natural, social, and economic conditions, environmental conditions, and tourist source
information. Tourism resource information mainly includes the type, quantity, structure, level,
cause of tourism resources and related major historical events and literary works. In the natural,
social and economic conditions of the tourist area, natural conditions mainly refer to geological
landforms, meteorology and hydrology, soil vegetation, etc .; social conditions refer to administrative
divisions, population, culture, medical treatment, security, etc .; economic conditions include regional
industrial structure and level , Type, infrastructure, reception service facilities, etc. Environmental
conditions, including the background values of important material elements in the atmosphere, water,
upper soil, and lithosphere: including the atmospheric, water, and noise pollution caused by artificial
factors such as industrial and mining enterprises and living services, and the degree of control [9, 10].
Customer source information, including the scope, quantity, and type of the source market, and the
diversion and synergistic effects of similar resource areas in the vicinity on the source.
1) Travel planning information collection
Obtaining tourist information is the first step in establishing a tourist information database.
Non-digitized information must be converted into digital form before it can be accepted by computers.
In the geographic information system, information is divided into two categories: spatial information
and attribute information. Spatial information is location-related information [11].
2) Classification of tourism planning information
Before entering the data into the computer, it must be classified according to the relevant standards.
The classification criteria should be moderate. Excessive coarseness will affect the accuracy of
analysis and excessively fine storage will be too large. Tourism planning information can be divided
into four categories: tourism resources, natural, social, economic conditions, environmental
conditions, and tourist source markets [12, 13]. Each category can continue to be subdivided until it
can meet the planning needs.
3) Tourism planning information coding.
Coding is to represent classified information with appropriate character strings or numerical values
for easy computer input and identification.
3. Experiment
The construction of TPIS is an advanced goal of GIS application in tourism planning (TP). Combined
with expert knowledge bases and mathematical models, fast are performed to assist planning and
design, and to achieve automatic or semi-automatic The purpose of completing the complex work in
TP. A comprehensive TP management information system can integrate the GIS-assisted planning

functions discussed in this article.
This system is 64-bit application software, which requires CPUPIII or higher, memory 64M or
higher, hard disk 20G or higher, and Windows NT 4.0 or higher operating environment. The database
management system uses a relational Access management system. The system is developed using
MapX components and Visual Basic 6.0 software.
The hybrid algorithm of this paper and AC algorithm and literature were used to solve the traveling
salesman problem, respectively. The problem and eil51 problem are taken as examples. The three
algorithms were tested 10 times for each case, and the results of each solution were recorded.
4. Discuss
4.1 Performance Simulation Analysis
(1) Search accuracy analysis
Comparing the optimal solutions of this algorithm and the literature AC algorithm, it can be seen
that the algorithm in this paper can find the theoretical optimal solution, and the AC algorithm will fall
into the local optimal solution; meanwhile, comparing the average and average error can be seen The
algorithm cannot guarantee that it can converge to the optimal solution each time, but only has a small
probability to fall into the local optimal solution. Comparing this paper's algorithm with the literature's
particle swarm AC hybrid algorithm, it can be seen that the average error of the particle swarm AC
hybrid algorithm is smaller than the algorithm in this paper, which shows that the particle swarm ant
colony hybrid algorithm has a better effect. The reason is that the parameter values are fixed in the
algorithm in this paper, and the particle swarm AC hybrid algorithm determines the parameters
dynamically through the particle swarm algorithm.
As shown in Table 1 and Figure 1,the average error of the AC algorithm increases faster, the
possibility that the AC algorithm falls into the local optimal solution may greatly increase; While the
average error of the algorithm and the particle swarm AC hybrid algorithm in the city increases, but it
is not obvious, which shows that the algorithm and the particle swarm AC hybrid algorithm have a
better solution to the traveling salesman problem.

(2) Solving time
By comparing the solution time of this algorithm with the particle swarm AC hybrid algorithm, the
solution time of this algorithm is less than the particle swarm AC hybrid algorithm. The reason is that
the algorithm has fixed parameter values, while the particle swarm AC hybrid algorithm uses particles.
The swarm algorithm dynamically determines the parameters, so the search accuracy of this algorithm
is slightly worse than the particle swarm AC hybrid algorithm, but the solution time is faster. By
comprehensively comparing search accuracy and solving time, the algorithm in this paper is more
reasonable for solving actual travel route planning problems.

... Tourism path optimization is a method that utilizes computer algorithms [2] to determine travel routes with the aim of enabling visitors to see multiple attractions within a specific timeframe. It uses mathematical models and algorithms to calculate the optimal path by considering factors such as distance, transportation options, time constraints, and individual preferences and needs of tourists [3]. ...
Article
The purpose of this paper is to optimize the tourism path to make the distance shorter. The article first constructed a model for tourism route planning and then used particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), and ant colony algorithms to solve the model separately. Finally, a simulation experiment was conducted on tourist attractions in the suburbs of Taiyuan City to compare the path optimization performance of the three algorithms. The three path optimization algorithms all converged during the process of finding the optimal path. Among them, the ant colony algorithm exhibited the fastest and most stable convergence, resulting in the smallest model fitness value. The travel route obtained through the ant colony algorithm had the shortest distance, and this algorithm required minimal time for optimization. The novelty of this article lies in the enumeration and description of various algorithms used for optimizing travel paths, as well as the comparison of three different travel route optimization algorithms through simulation experiments.

Tourism travel is a prevalent form of leisure and entertainment. This paper provides a brief overview of an attraction route planning algorithm based on multi-source data, which combines multi-source data to assess the effectiveness of the planned route and utilizes the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for path optimization. The genetic algorithm (GA) operations were incorporated with the PSO algorithm to enhance optimization performance. Subsequently, simulation experiments were conducted to compare the GA-PSO algorithm with using the PSO algorithm and GA. Moreover, a comparative analysis was performed on the performance of the path planning algorithm using single-source and multi-source data. The results demonstrated that the GA-PSO algorithm exhibited the fastest convergence in optimization search and achieved the best fitness value at stabilization. Among the three path schemes, the GA-PSO algorithm performed the best, followed by the GA, while the PSO algorithm was found to be the least optimal. Furthermore, path planning with multi-source data demonstrated better alignment with tourists’ landscape preferences, enabling personalized routes construction.

Purpose - This paper aims to further enhance the understanding of elements relevant to creating affection for a country’s identity, culture and values. Design/methodology/approach - An overview of theoretical contributions is followed by a description of exploratory research on the overall image of Turkey. Survey-based empirical data (a convenience sample consisting of 838 Croatian citizens) are analysed using Statistica v7; mean values and a t-test are applied. The importance-performance Analysis (IPA) is also performed. The level of the respondent’s actual knowledge of Turkey is analysed by examining the content of their associations. Findings - Research findings support a proven multidimensionality of the country/destination image construct. Turkey has become an appealing tourist destination; its image consists of positive associations that point to the effectiveness of soap operas broadcast abroad and promotional investments into the creation of the country image in foreign markets. Negative perceptions are related to human rights and gender inequalities. Limitations implications - The use of a convenience sample (with predominantly female respondents) places a clear constraint on generalising the findings. Consequently, the results should be treated only as indicative. Furthermore, the one-country nature of the study limits the implications to theory. Practical implications - Findings that soap operas might be a valuable source for Turkey’s image formation, and as such affect subsequent consumer behaviour, provide valuable insights for tourism and international marketing professionals who are either already in business or who are planning to internationalise future activities. Originality/value - The study adds to the existing knowledge suggesting that popular culture, i.e. soap operas, is an interesting dimension of country/destination image deserving of further research.

Hydrophobic-Polar model is a simplified representation of Protein Structure Prediction (PSP) problem. However, even with the HP model, the PSP problem remains NP-complete. This work proposes a systematic and problem specific design for operators of the evolutionary program which hybrids with local search hill climbing, to efficiently explore the search space of PSP and thereby obtain an optimum conformation. The proposed algorithm achieves this by incorporating the following novel features: (i) new initialization method which generates only valid individuals with (rather than random) better fitness values; (ii) use of probability-based selection operators that limit the local convergence; (iii) use of secondary structure based mutation operator that makes the structure more closely to the laboratory determined structure; and (iv) incorporating all the above-mentioned features developed a complete two-tier framework. The developed framework builds the protein conformation on the square and triangular lattice. The test has been performed using benchmark sequences, and a comparative evaluation is done with various state-of-the-art algorithms. Moreover, in addition to hypothetical test sequences, we have tested protein sequences deposited in protein database repository. It has been observed that the proposed framework has shown superior performance regarding accuracy (fitness value) and speed (number of generations needed to attain the final conformation). The concepts used to enhance the performance are generic and can be used with any other population-based search algorithm such as genetic algorithm, ant colony optimization, and immune algorithm.

This research aims to describe portfolio optimization using clustering methods with ant colony approach. Two stock portfolios of LQ45 Indonesia is proposed based on the cluster results obtained from ant colony optimization (ACO). The first portfolio consists of assets with ant colony displacement opportunities beyond the defined probability limits of the researcher, where the weight of each asset is determined by mean-variance method. The second portfolio consists of two assets with the assumption that each asset is a cluster formed from ACO. The first portfolio has a better performance compared to the second portfolio seen from the Sharpe index.

Landscape is one of the valuable assets in tourism, especially in rural tourism. Good landscape planning can be increasing the tourism in one place. In Geopark area, landscape planning is also necessary, and it is because geopark area is also a landscape. This paper aims to create a landscape planning concept in Sipiso-Piso Waterfall that can be used to improve the tourism in Sipiso-piso Waterfall. The method that used in this paper is a qualitative method that is used interviews with related stakeholders like, local figure, government, and academic, and field observation in the study area. The data obtained would be analyzed with four elements of landscape namely, open space, pedestrian path, street circulation, and street furniture. The result shows that the four elements of landscape in Sipiso-Piso Waterfall is still not proper and needs improvement.

One of the organizations’ main concerns is to protect sensitive data in database systems, especially the ones outsourced to untrusted service providers. An effective solution for this issue is to employ database encryption methods. Among different encryption approaches, Bucket-based method has the advantage of balancing security and performance of database operations. However, generating false-positive results in executing queries is the main drawback of this method. On the other hand, multi-join queries are one of the most critical operations executed on these stored sensitive data. Hence, acceptable processing and response time in executing multi-join queries is required. In this paper, we propose an enhanced ant-colony algorithm (named BACO) which aims to reduce the required processing efforts in multi-join query optimization problem alongside with reducing the total false-positive results generated in Bucket-based encrypted databases. Our enhanced solution approach leads to much less response time without losing solutions’ quality. Experimental results denote that our proposed solution can yield 75% decrease in multi-join queries processing efforts and 74% decrease in the total amount of false-positive results in a faster manner and with better performance than previous methods.

With the increasing number of satellite, the satellite control resource scheduling problem (SCRSP) has been main challenge for satellite networks. SCRSP is a constrained and large scale combinatorial problem. More and more researches focus on how to allocate various measurement and control resources effectively to ensure the normal running of the satellites. However, the sparse solution space of SCRSP leads its complexity especially for traditional optimization algorithms. As the validity of ant colony optimization (ACO) has been shown in many combinatorial optimization problems, a simple ant colony optimization algorithm (SACO) to solve SCRSP is presented in this paper. Firstly, we give a general mathematical model of SCRSP. Then, a optimization model, called conflict construction graph, based on visible arc and working period is introduced to reduce workload of dispatchers. To meet the requirements of TT & C network and make the algorithm more practical, we make the parameters of SACO as constant, which include the bounds, update and initialization of pheromone. The effect of parameters on the algorithm performance is studied by experimental method based on SCRSP. Finally, the performance of SACO is compared with other novel ACO algorithms to show the feasibility and effectiveness of improvements.

Referring to the fact that the nth links bipedal walking robot has high nonlinearity and uncertainty parameters; therefore robust controllers for walking robot should be properly designed. This paper proposes a new robust control scheme based on fuzzy system and Ant Colony Optimization algorithm. Adaptive fuzzy controllers (AFCs) based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm are proposed to eliminate the chattering phenomenon that occurs when the walking robot moves on rough surfaces. Six rotational joints are used to connect the seven links of the bipedal walking robot. Those joints are assumed frictionless and actuated by six independent servomotors. Therefore, six adaptive fuzzy controllers are designed in this work (one for each joint). To design robust fuzzy controllers, the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm is utilized to tune and find the best parameters of the output membership function of the fuzzy controller. For comparison purposes, optimal PID controllers (OPIDCs) are designed with optimal parameters that are chosen by utilizing the Ant colony algorithm. The performances of the two proposed controllers (AFCs and OPIDCs) are tested under significant disturbances situations such as carrying different weighted things by the walking biped robot. In addition, the stability of the adaptive fuzzy controller is studied and proved by applying Lyapunov theory.

Aiming at the problem of obstacle avoidance path planning for intelligent mobile in two-dimensional static environment, this paper proposes an improved fire-ant colony hybrid algorithm to obtain the optimal path.First of all, in view of the shortcomings of the basic fireworks algorithm, an improved method of increasing the "pioneer sparks" and using the "mirror mapping" rule to deal with pioneer sparks beyond the boundary is proposed. Then, the optimal path of the improved fireworks algorithm is used as the reference path, which is converted into the initial pheromone distribution of the ant colony algorithm. It makes up for the shortcomings of the initial pheromone deficiency and the slow convergence rate of the ant colony algorithm. Finally, simulation experiments are carried out in three different environments. The experimental results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper can quickly find the optimal path of high precision, and also has a strong performance in dealing with complex environment. The proposed algorithm provides a new idea to solve the problem of obstacle avoidance path planning for intelligent mobile in complex environment. © 2019, Editorial Office of Control and Decision.

This paper provides a generalizable mode for the ecological vulnerability evaluation for tourism planning and development in high mountain areas. The Bayi District located in southeastern Tibet is taken as a typical town to study the conflict between the protection of natural ecological environment and the exploitation of tourism resources. Based on the Sensitivity-Recovery-Pressure (SRP) framework, a set of vulnerability evaluation systems for plateau tourism regions were developed. The spatial principal component analysis (SPCA), remote sensing and GIS technologies were integrated to apply for spatial quantification of evaluation index system. The ecological vulnerability of the Bayi District was divided into five levels: potential, mild, moderate, severe, and extreme, and our results showed that significantly severe and extreme vulnerability areas were mainly distributed throughout the southwestern and central northern alpine pasture and glacial zones. Potential and mild vulnerability areas were mainly distributed in the vicinity of the Yarlung Zangbo River tributary basin. Then three tourism development and environmental protection zones were classified and appropriate measures for the protection were proposed. It also provides a reference for the spatial distribution of a range of areas that require different protection measures according to ecological vulnerability classification.
