Potentials of cultural-historical and tourism heritage for the development of tourism in the Timok region
'Centre for Evaluation in Education and Science (CEON CEES)', 2021Co-Authors: Dejan Bugarin, Sanja Krsmanović Veličković, Miloš TucovićAbstract:In recent years, the term "industrial tourism" has been increasingly used in the literature. It describes an area that includes industrial monuments and abandoned buildings, and above all rare ones that are still in function. Industrial tourism includes all plants used for food processing, wood processing and textile industry, there are also mills, ports, mines, car and aviation industry, shipyards, etc. Within the doctoral dissertation entitled "Potentials of cultural-historical and economic heritage for the development of industrial tourism in the Timok region", a research was conducted that deals with the growing Interest of industrial tourism in Eastern Serbia, more precisely in the Timok region. This branch of tourism is no longer a Sphere of Interest only for certain groups of technical experts, but also for regular tourists who are Interested in touring certain regions. The aim of the research is to present the possibilities for the development of industrial tourism in the Timok region, as well as to obtain data on the current situation. The research is based on the experiential information of tourism workers who, due to the nature of their work and Interests, are relevant to the proposed topic. The surveyed respondents are employed in the field of tourism in various positions, as well as students who are educated in the field of tourism. The data obtained during the research indicate respondents believe that the media do not sufficiently inform potential tourists about industrial tourism attractions, the potential of the tourist offer, but also about the Timok region itself, both locally and beyond, in Serbia and abroad. Such data indicate the possibility of improvement through the application of an adequate strategy to promote and inform potential users, as well as the insufficient usage of the industrial potential of the region itself. Investing certain resources in the marketing and development of industrial tourism would create additional demand, and this would result in the improvement of the tourist offer. Valorization of industrial heritage in Eastern Serbia can stimulate regional identity, revitalize the area and create additional tourist attractions. Plans and results from certain projects of this type are very important for the region, but also for the state

chapter one in the norwegian kings Sphere of Interest
2011Co-Authors: R B WaerdahlAbstract:The aim of this chapter is to show that the historical conditions existed for the integration of the tributary lands in the realm of the Norwegian king in the thirteenth century. We shall therefore look more closely at the formation of a Norse cultural Sphere and the Norwegian kings' connections with all the Norse island communities before the incorporation process gained momentum from the end of the twelfth century, in the case of the Faroes, Orkney, and Shetland, and from the 1220s for Iceland. Even if the norse island communities to the south-west were in the Norwegian kings' Sphere of Interest from the eleventh century, and the kings at times had some influence over political development in the islands, it is doubtful whether we can claim that the Norwegian kings exercised any form of rule over the Norse island communities until towards the end of the twelfth century.Keywords: Faroes; Iceland; norse island; norwegian king; orkney; Shetland; twelfth century

we forgot half of the population the significance of gender in danish energy renovation projects
Energy research and social science, 2016Co-Authors: Lise TjorringAbstract:Abstract Energy renovations are considered to have great potential for reducing the problem of excessive energy consumption. Thus far, initiatives to increase the number of energy renovations have mostly consisted of financial incentives and technical home solutions. Such initiatives overlook the fact that the way people live their everyday lives plays a crucial role in understanding why they choose whether to perform an energy renovation. This study is based on an anthropological investigation of ten Danish families and their decision-making process while receiving free energy advice, which, in many cases, ended as an energy renovation project in the home. During the study, gender emerged as a significant factor in two ways. First, energy renovations were perceived differently by men and women as a consequence of their different everyday practices. Second, there was a cultural norm about the division between what men and women do in the home. This cultural norm placed energy renovation in the male Sphere of Interest. These findings call for new methods to increase the number of energy renovations that focus on the home, not only as a technical issue that can be improved but also as a living space that contains different gender practices and cultural influences.
