    Abstract: In this study, we utilize regional public facilities as the factors of evaluation criteria, apply buffering and weighted overlay analysis in GIS as the multi-criteria spatial information analysis tools, and take the Lanyang Plain, Yilan, Taiwan as the test area for the optimal facility location analysis of tourism industry. We take the “optimal service/influence distance” of each regional public facility from literature review as the radius of neighborhood for buffering and build the buffer objects in GIS. The process of weighted overlay analysis is conducted by using grid method. After a series of grid size testing, we find that while the grid size decreases to 320 m × 320 m, the distribution of grids with weighted overlay values is close to the distribution of all the buffer objects mentioned above. The distribution of grids with higher weighted overlap values obviously presents the optimal facility location of tourism industry that is apparently consistent with the distribution of the famous tour sites or facilities of tourism industry and the four to five star hotels. Therefore, we conclude that this optimal facility location model of tourism industry should be quite suitable for land use or site selection planning of tourism and relative industries.

    Determinants of Consumer’s Purchase Intention on Fresh E-Commerce Platform: Perspective of UTAUT Model
    SAGE Publications ; 2021

    Abstract: Despite the booming market of fresh food, the fresh e-commerce platform holds only a limited market share, owing to the lack of habitual usage of these platforms. This article explores the determinants of purchase intention when using a fresh e-commerce platform. The integrated technology acceptance model (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology [UTAUT]) is employed as the framework. A questionnaire survey was conducted and is analyzed using the structural equation model. We find that both performance expectancy and social influence have a significantly positive effect on consumers’ purchase intention using fresh e-commerce platforms, while perceived risk has a significantly negative effect. Perceived trust plays a mediating role between performance expectancy and purchase intention, social influence and purchase intention, as well as perceived risk and purchase intention. In addition, food safety awareness is a moderator between perceived trust and purchase intention.

    Investigating Risk-Constraint Nexus of Construction Projects in Caribbean Small Island Developing States

    Abstract: This research identifies the critical risk factors in the management of construction projects and assesses their relationship on the project implementation constraints of cost, time, and quality, in order to gain a deeper understanding of those factors hindering project success in in Caribbean small island developing states experiencing the dilemma of transitioning to be sustainable in economy and environment. Through three-phase surveys, we identify 26 risk factors from five risk source categories that are more region-specific to influence construction project management, discover strongly positive relationships between a set of risk variables and a set of constraints, and estimate the relative importance of every dimension to the integrated risk-constraint canonical correlation. In risk categories, management has the dominant effect followed by design, contractual, and financial source. For implementation constraints, cost exhibits the most dominance, followed by time and quality. Overall, the directions and magnitudes of interactions gauged in the risk-constraint nexus provide a guideline for improving project planning, thus offering a reference value to other developing countries.

    Enhance Volunteering Education Through Overseas Volunteer Service

    Abstract: This study aimed to determine how the learning stimulation and intrinsic motivation of students affect their culture sharing in volunteering via general altruism and intention. Stratified random sampling was used, and 850 invitation questionnaires were sent to participants, of whom 264 returned valid questionnaires (return rate, 31.06%), which were analyzed with the partial least squares method. It was found that students’ intrinsic motivation for overseas volunteering increases their understanding of global issues. Thus, schools or organizations should develop a mechanism for volunteering students to interact with others within a professional virtual community in order to enhance their volunteering experience and inspire their continuous learning from overseas volunteering.
