Critical Overview

In the last two decades, creative tourism has evolved as a burgeoning field, encompassing a wide range of concepts and practices, in different places around the world. From the very beginning, however, creative tourism has aimed to contribute to sustainable development and increased community wellbeing, as an alternative to mass cultural tourism. With this review article, our main objective is to identify and analyze a body of literature that specifically addresses creative tourism in islands, contributing to fill a gap in the knowledge since no reviews with this focus have yet been undertaken. Our aim is to provide a critical overview of creative tourism experiences at island destinations worldwide, addressing the plurality of empirical contexts and methodological approaches found in academic research. This review highlights the key trends in creative tourism, pointing out two distinct approaches: creative tourism in urban contexts, based on creative events, “cultural clusters” or Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs), versus community-focused small-scale tourism experiences in rural contexts. This paper also provides an opportunity to assess the evolution of sustainable creative tourism approaches in islands.

The chapter was intended to provide an original and creative review of the literature on the dynamics of technological knowledge. It is argued that among the new developments on the theme, the investigation on endogenous complexity in technological knowledge is certainly the most promising advance. First it provides an accurate representation of how knowledge is created and diffused at the analytical level, and second it also benefits of an empirical value since it can be expressed by a wide range of indicators and measures. In particular, it is claimed that such framework has a great potential in that it provides both the theoretical and empirical grounds to carry out an interdependent analysis of technology as an act and as an artefact. In this direction, the structure of technological knowledge is represented as a network the architecture of which is in turn influenced by the architecture of the network of innovation, and vice versa.

Formal Establishment

Cultural and creative industries are now an established area of academic research. Yet, the welcome innovations that are associated with the development of a new field of study are also matched by confusions and conjectures. The term itself, ‘cultural and creative industries’, is the subject of extensive debate. It goes hand in hand with closely related concepts such as ‘creative economy’, as well as reflecting definitional struggles aimed at conjoining or demarcating the creative and the cultural. Many of these debates have been the subject of sociological research and research in Sociology. This collection considers that specific role of sociology, and Sociology, to the study of cultural and creative industries. The e-special issue collects articles ranging from early empirical and theoretical precursors to the formal establishment of cultural and creative industries as a field of study, to more recent work considering the coherence and usefulness of the category itself.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and present the problems and perspectives of the cultural and creative industries in the context of the sustainable development of local economies and communities. The authors argue that a deeper understanding of the cultural and creative industries, as a complex phenomenon that has a versatile and multi-layered impact, would allow local government representatives to benefit more fully from the results of their own investments, which is particularly valid for their social dimension, in terms of improving quality of life leading to population growth, attracting educated and active citizens, cultural diversity and community cohesionSome of the problems facing the cultural and creative industries related to the strategy and the vision for the sector are being analyzed, the regulatory framework, the incomplete functioning of the systems of culture, arts and education, the lack of a "shared communication vision" on the challenges and perspectives of the municipal and local authorities, the contradictory nature of individual regulations and regulations, the cumbersome procedures and notices of public service, etc.The study demonstrates the hypothesis that investment in cultural and creative industries has the potential to generate jobs, innovation and productivity, improve the quality of life on the ground, stimulate new ideas and thinking within the community, and influence a wide range of political priorities, which is a major reason for every sustainable municipality to be given the necessary attention and to direct the institutional and administrative resources for research, planning and development. Each of the local authorities needs to understand their importance and look for a form of investment appropriate to local circumstances, as CCIs and local administrations have mutual benefits from close cooperation and interaction. These benefits could be achieved through direct investments tailored to the needs of CCIs (eg through physical infrastructure, skills, networks and business support).The report is for scientific research project DN № 05/1, 14.12.2016 „Communicational Model for Interactive Educational Environment for Post – Graduate Professional and Vocational Studies in the Field of Cultural and Creative Industries“, with the financial support of National Science Fund (NSF) of Ministry of Education and Science (MES) of Bulgaria.

Abstract. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global social concern: many women are affected by this phenomenon and by the difficulty of putting an end to it. This review of the literature aims to identify help-seeking facilitating and inhibiting factors in response to IPV. It was carried out on the PsycINFO and Medline databases using the following keywords: “intimate partner violence,” “domestic violence,” “help-seeking,” and “help-seeking barrier.” Ninety out of 771 eligible publications were included on the basis of inclusion criteria. The results highlight that (1) research on this phenomenon is very recent and underdeveloped in Europe, (2) theoretical and conceptual frameworks are poorly developed and extended, (3) there is a significant impact of violence characteristics (e.g., severity, type) on help-seeking, and (4) help-seeking is a complex and multifactorial process influenced by a wide range of factors simultaneously individual and social. To conclude, these findings lead us to propose a psychosocial conceptualization of the help-seeking process by indicating how the levels of explanation approach in social psychology can be applied to this field of research in order to increase our understanding of this phenomenon.

Cultural Events

In the present article researchers feature the examination of the opinions and attitudes of the residents of Chios island in Greece. It is based on the investigation of both the characteristics (quality, potential, organization) of the island's main annual cultural events (Rocket War, Agas, and Mostra) and their possible impact on the local society, economy, tourism, and natural environment. Cluster analysis was used to classify the residents under three groups: Embracers, Realists, Neutrals. Each group has particular characteristics and a clearly defined opinion about local cultural tourism events and their impact on a local level. According to the main findings of the primary research some particularly interesting aspects of the effects of local cultural tourism events both on the local level and on the island's tourism development emerge. The conclusions drawn from the elaboration of such findings afford an opportunity to understand better the general impact of cultural events and by the same token to assist government bodies, residents, and other stakeholders in maximizing benefits, whenever possible.
