Abstract

Purpose

To the best of the author's knowledge, this study, among the first of its kind, aims to offer a preliminary exploration of the “city walk” travel model in the context of China.

Design/methodology/approach

By conducting phenomenological research, it endeavors to comprehend the motivations driving individuals to engage in “city walk” activities through the lens of social psychology, specifically focusing on labeling theory.

Findings

The immersive “city walk” establishes a deeper connection with the urban environment. Participants attach greater significance to their travel experiences, seeking a profound understanding of the city and its way of life, thus pursuing the essence of tourism and leisure.

Originality/value

This study outlines potential opportunities and future prospects for the “city walk” concept within the cultural tourism industry.

研究目的

本研究是在中国背景下首次对“城市漫步”旅游模式进行初步探讨的研究之一。

设计/方法

通过现象学研究, 试图从社会心理学的视角, 尤其是关注“标签理论”, 来理解驱使个体参与“城市漫步”活动的动机。

研究发现

沉浸式的“城市漫步”建立了与城市环境更深层次的联系。参与者赋予他们的旅行经历更大的重要性, 寻求对城市及其生活方式的深刻理解, 从而追求旅游与休闲的本质。

原创性/价值

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to analyze the current practices of food and beverage (F&B) photography and styling through the eyes of professionals involved in the food business.

Design/methodology/approach

A phenomenological research approach was used and empirical data were collected via a series of semi-structured interviews with professional food photographers. Purposive and snowballing sampling methods were used and the participants of this study consisted of 26 F&B photographers and stylists who were actively and professionally working in this field. Content analysis was applied to the empirical data.

Findings

The research findings reveal several key themes in F&B photography and styling: emotional appeal, key trends, career opportunities, required skills and abilities and interventions and ethical considerations. Three specific roles were identified in F&B photography and styling: food and beverage photographer, food and beverage stylist and prop stylist.

Research limitations/implications

This study offers discussions on the pros and cons of F&B photography beginners and professionals and the food business.

Originality/value

This is one of the first studies to offer empirical findings and discussions on the concept of F&B photography and styling.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to apply the triangle model of technology and the technology readiness index (TRI) in a qualitative study design to explore the geocaching phenomenon in state parks.

Design/methodology/approach

A framework was developed to examine the triangular relationships between the park, geocaching and visitors. A total of 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted with Texas state park officials. A thematic analysis was used to analyze the interview data.

Findings

Three types of interactions (i.e. park-visitor, visitor-technology and park-technology) were identified. Although geocaching leads to positive recreational experiences for park visitors, the study also revealed the decreasing popularity of geocaching along with park officials’ apprehension regarding the placement of caches. The findings suggest that Texas state parks fall within the “Avoiders” stage in terms of technology readiness because of a low level of optimism and innovation and a high level of discomfort and insecurity toward geocaching technology.

Originality/value

The study contributes to the extant literature by adding new knowledge regarding geocaching in the context of state parks. This study is one of the first to apply the triangle model of technology to examine the trilateral relationships between parks, geocaching and visitors. The study also innovatively adopts the TRI in a qualitative study to identify the technology readiness stage of state parks.

研究目的

本研究旨在运用科技三角模型以及科技准备度指数(TRI)以定性研究为方法来探索地理藏宝这一现象。

研究设计/方法/途径

本研究为探索公园, 地理藏宝以及访客的三角结构关系提出了理论框架。研究对德克萨斯州立公园行政人员进行了12项半结构化访谈。主题分析发进行了访谈数据分析。

研究结果

研究发现了三种形式的互动:公园访客, 访客科技装备, 和公园的科技装备。尽管地理藏宝活动提高了公园访客的体验, 本研究通过公园人员的视角也发现访客的热情有所降低。研究结果发现德州州立公园在科技准备度意义来说仍处于“回避”阶段, 基于较低的积极度和创新意识, 以及对地理藏宝活动表现较高的不适以及不安。

研究原创性/价值

本研究为已有的文献增添了有关州立公园地理藏宝的新发现。本研究是首次运用科技三角模型来研究公园, 地理藏宝和访客之间的三边关系。本论文也创新性的在定性研究中运用了TRI对州立公园科技准备度进行研究。
