This study aims to seek for solution to reinforce affective domain in World Geography instruction using travelog. The result can be summarized as follows. First, The World Geography textbooks are given too much emphasis on cognitive domain. This overevaluation is due to the fact that official World Geography curriculum is concentrated in cognitive domain. Second, Travelogs can be effectively used for reinforcing affective domain in World Geography education. They can reinforce the various attitudes and values that students need. I hope that this study could activate discussion on affective domain and graphic skills in geography education.

This study used a quasi-experimental method to investigate if both travel involvement and the degree of recall of a traumatic event affect subjective well-being. For this, independent variables such as positive affect, negative affect, and life satisfaction were established. Four waves of data collection were performed with two to three weeks intervals, then the collected longitudinal data were analysed by repeated measure ANOVA. The study results indicated that travel involvement increases positive affect and life satisfaction, with the effect lasting four weeks or more, which means that travel is an effective tool to boost subjective well-being. Respondents who thought about a traumatic event more frequently had a much higher negative affect following the disaster, and such increased negative affect was maintained over seven weeks or longer. Therefore, this study finds that negative events produce larger, more consistent, or more lasting effects than positive events. As well as travel participation, visiting an urban park is a pleasurable experience. Therefore, the study also finds that urban parks could be utilized for increasing and maintaining subjective well-being in the middle and long term as well as lessening personal stress.

In this respect, Slow city has its attractiveness as a good tourist destination and its potentials are being verified. The purpose of this study is to identify selection attributes of slow city which influence the perception of tourism professionals and finally to figure out its growth potential as a tourism destination. This study approaches and considers tourism industry worker's perception about slow city which previous studies have not been discussed. We examined that travel and tourism employees working on the tourism industry frontline, planning travel goods, providing information on tourist destinations, are less aware than the general public about slow city as a tourism destination.

This study aims to propose a method of spatial therapy through spatial psychology in various ways of healing for emotional damage received by individuals. It is intended to prove the effectiveness and specify the method through instructional cases of spatial therapy for general university students. The method of spatial therapy was designed as a preliminary question(past)-space exploration (present)-travel plan(future). In the preliminary question, the students remembered the happy trip with their family and the pleasant memories with a person for the longest time. In the space exploration, the places the students visited were all different, but they were fully satisfied and happy about the place they had been to. The students fully remembered and expressed their feelings about the person they were with and the place. In their travel plans, students were fully prepared for the trip and looking forward to various therapy emotions they wanted to feel there. Most of the students said they wanted to find peace of mind through travel, feel peaceful feelings, and enjoy a beautiful world. Travel for spatial therapy or visiting certain places gives those who are tired and struggling enough therapy power.

This study was to investigate if there were any significant relationships between cultural destination selection attributes and travel satisfaction according to segmented groups of cultural destination attributes. Survey questionnaire was developed based on the previous study and data were collected from on site survey, which was one of the famous cultural tourism destination in Korea such as Booyoe and Kongjoo. Six dimensions of cultural destination attributes were identified from factor analysis and three different segmented groups were determined from cluster analysis. Then, Multiple regression analysis conducted with six destination attributes as independent variables and one travel satisfaction as dependent variable, while Fisher's Z score for three segmented groups were considered as moderator's variable. The results showed that cultural destination attribute affected respondents' level of travel satisfaction and there was differences among segmented groups in terms of their affecting factors to the travel satisfaction. These findings suggested that there were different segmented groups of cultural destination selection attributes and each group pursued different cultural travel products and services.

This study develops an agent-based simulation model to evaluate tourist information systems under ubiquitous environment. In this study, individual tourist's activity chaining behavior is formulated as a utility maximization problem. The underlying assumption of the model is that tourists increase their activities within their time and budget constraints to maximize their utilities. The model seeks individual's optimal tour schedule by solving Prize-Collecting Multiple-Day Traveling Salesman Problem(PC MD TSP). The simulation-based evaluation framework allows investigating individual utility gains by their information type and the total expenditure at each tour attractions. The real-time tour activity scheduling system enables tourists to optimize their tour activities by minimizing their time loss and maximizing their opportunity to use high utility facilities.

Today's wide-spread Internet technology allowed consumers to access much Word-of-Mouth information through an online board. As communication and exchanging information between travelers becomes easier and faster, e-WOM (Electronic Word-of-Mouth) is recognized as one of the most influencing communication methods in today's society. This new trend implies a significant impact to travel industry. This study focuses on interaction between Credibility on e-WOM, brand attitude, WOM acceptance, WOM activity and purchasing intention of travel product. The result of this study suggests: (1) Credibility in e-WOM provides positive effect in brand attitude, (2) Brand Attitude gives positive effect on WOM acceptance, WOM activity and purchasing intention of travel product, (3) WOM acceptance gives positive effect on WOM activity, but it is not effective on purchasing intention of travel product. Regarding e-WOM management of travel agencies through its website or online community, authors would like to argue that travel agencies need to build positive brand attitude based on Credibility in brand, which would lead consumers to positively acknowledge its brand and spread words out to other consumers.

This study is based on place attachment theory, explores how to transform tourists' virtual experience into on-site tourism willingness through virtual attachment, And explores the moderating role of happiness in it. A real travel intention model is constructed for people who work in tourism or have the ability to travel alone. Analyzed through analysis tools such as SPSS and AMOS, We hope to explore if the virtual experience can be transformed into a willingness to travel on the ground, and how happiness moderates virtual attachment to virtual tourism experiences. The result shows, the relationship between Virtual Travel Experience and Virtual Attachment is moderated by Happiness, Virtual Attachment is positively related to Place Attachment (Place dependence & Place identity), Place Attachment is positively related to Real Travel Intention. The relationship between tourists and tourist destinations is explored in depth through this study to provide references and suggestions for tourism development.
