The Mediterranean is grown up as one of the most developed tourist regions on the Earth, but development of mass tourism brought to the big saturation of space, causing environmental problems. As a consequence, today the Mediterranean is faced with a great challenge: how to preserve natural and cultural values as a basis for tourism industry and, in the same time, to keep high reputation on the globalized tourist market. In this work are analyzed the environmental effects of tourism and problems aggravating the concept of the sustainable development. There are also shown the key measures, that can enable development of tourism on a sustainable basis. Particular attention is dedicated to institutional and organizational factors having a crucial role in defining guidelines related to protection and sustainable usage of the Mediterranean Sea with its coastal area.

If sustainable life on Earth is the goal (today), the Mankind cannot head towards it living in cities that are not sustainable. Localities that have lost the ability, unduly frequent in our cities, call the nature and causes of the phenomenon to be revisited. Once perceived in a city context, brownfields appear as places where the city failed: the communication, both material and social-cultural values´ exchange – that is the fundamental principle of a city - reduced and finally stopped between the locality, its surroundings and the polis. Identified as a platform for the communication, public space creates the basic framework of a city – the metropolitan structure. Vital public space claims to be the base of sustainable development of a city thus: the paper verifies the hypothesis and provides essential description of functions and types of public space. Principles and methods of its formation are demonstrated on examples in a nutshell. Eventually, the paper contributes both to the positive and to the normative theory of urban public space. Richly documented both in literature and the author's own work, commonly accessible reality of the built environment is the platform of explorative research plan of the paper. New, revising conclusions do not result from new findings on the situation, but from new perspectives on familiar issues. The same platform allows easy verification of hypotheses and new explanations.

<p>Increasingly food culture in the context of socio-cultural dimension is becoming important for sustainable urban development. In the last four years food festivals have been held in Kisumu attracting several interests both from within and without the City. The Kisumu fish night event of 2013 marked the melting point of food culture in Kisumu. This paper thus explores the noble intention of integrating food culture in Kisumu as a socio-cultural capital for the advancement of City sustainable development agenda. To an agrarian society, life is about food from its production, the processing/preservation up to the consumption or the sharing. People connect to their cultural or ethnic background through similar food patterns.  People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods leading to the question: Are Luos in Kisumu defined by their own food culture? This study further investigated the mode of production, and storage of food resources, examined food cuisines of the Luo community in Kisumu, and assessed the food habits, practices and beliefs associated with food cuisines, as well as, the nutritional and socio-cultural values of Luo cuisines. The research employed qualitative methods of data collection such as interviews, observation, focused group discussion and photography using purposive and snowball sampling technique. Content analysis was used to draw general universal statements in thematic areas with respect to the research objectives. The study revealed that Luo community in Kisumu has a food culture laced with rich cultural practices, rituals and societal norms that defines them as a distinct cultural identity but interacts with other cultural groups in the metropolitan city of Kisumu. Further, the study confirms that indeed food culture is vital for sustainable development of urban centre granted that Kisumu largely evolved as urban centre for exchange of goods for food.</p>

In the context of Aceh, its society and social-ecnonomic development, based on a number of literatures, the meaning of local wisdom can be drawn from the values, norms, laws and knowledge formed by religious teachings, beliefs, traditional values and experiences inherited from ancestors ultimately forming a local knowledge system that is used to solve everyday problems by the community. Aceh, as a region, in addition to following national law practices and provisions, also has customary institutions and traditional / cultural values with its own management that involves community leaders who know a great deal about local wisdom in the region. This is where the roles of traditional leaders, religious leaders and socio-cultural figures are considered important in harmonizing local wisdom with spatial regulation and environmentally sustainable development

This study examined and evaluated how culturally responsive teaching in technology-supported learning environments for preservice teachers was practiced and modeled using experiential learning theory as a guiding framework. Results from qualitative analysis of observational data and outputs of 19 preservice teachers showed that the latter were able to include cultural values and harness technology in their teaching. It was also found that cultural scaffolding enhanced by technology is the most practiced culturally responsive teaching construct during teaching demonstrations. However, technology was used as teachers’ instructional tools—in the form of visual aids that illustrate abstract multicultural concepts—instead of students’ learning tools. Our findings could be used to develop a K-12 curriculum progression that provides a culturally responsive and contextualized teaching and learning environment for sustainable development.

Cultural Empowerment

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the international agenda regarding the discussion on the sustainable development. It asserts the idea that economic growth is a process that embraces the cultural values, human capability, and transnational policies aimed to guide and support the efforts of nations to achieve social security. The paper places the issues of contemporary heritage science theory on the recent debate concerning the cultural heritage preservation based on scientific, legal, social, and management issues. Design/methodology/approach The paper selected mainly reports, declarations, resolutions, and recommendations concerning this theme. The framework comprehends almost 30 years: from the first project titled “World Decade of Cultural Development” (1988) to the last conference in Tanzania (2016). Some questions defined the methodological approach of this investigation: how can we generate sustainability in terms of the use, maintenance, and conservation of cultural heritage? How can we adjust the local, national, and international guidelines to a common logic without letting go of the community autonomy? Findings The paper provides a historical context about the enlargement of the debate concerning the international policies for sustainable development from cultural empowerment. It suggests that UNESCO, WHC, and ICCROM have been promoting positive projects in vulnerable regions. Research limitations/implications Eurocentric models of development and occidental concept of culture exposure in the selected documents should be reviewed mainly in decolonization areas. Practical implications The article offers a distinct perspective for the system of international evaluation of cultural heritage, and a different focus of reflection for the academic community. Originality/value The study promotes a reflection regarding the international agenda for sustainable development over the last 30 years.
