The Impact Of Social Partnership On The Environment

The multidimensional social problems that everyone seeks to remedy them are very complex and no actor can confront them on their own. So the different parties have to work together by creating relations of partnerships.The State has long been the main actor in the control and regulation of social relations. However, in recent years there has been a rapid decline in their role given the enormous charge and lack of resources. Hence the need for the intervention of other parties.Some review of literature explores the conceptualization of social partnership in order to meet the needs of the organization or solve organizational problems. More and more large companies and multinationals get started on a voluntary approach to social responsibility and have begun to move closer to certain social enterprises by concluding partnership agreements.The purpose of this study was to study the social transformation that follows the creation of a relation of a social partnership between a social enterprise and a company that has involved a strategy of social responsibility. Then, we will present the environment to finally study the impact of social partnership on the environment; on economic, cultural and political dimensions.

The Transformation of an Agriculture-Based Economy to a Tourism-Based Economy: Citizens\u27 Perceived Impacts of Sustainable Tourism Development

Many researchers have explored the perceptions and impacts of tourism development. However, no studies have included the Caribbean islands of St. Kitts and Nevis where tourism has replaced agriculture as the primary driver of the islands’ economies. Furthermore, recent studies have not explored demographic factors that determine people’s perceptions of the impacts of tourism development in these islands. The purpose of this study was to investigate if citizens’ perceptions of the economic, socio-cultural, environmental and community impacts of tourism development vary by demographic factors such as age, education, gender and geographical location in relation to tourist areas. Nineteen research hypotheses were proposed: sixteen relating to the tourism impacts, two relating to social exchange theory and one relating to distributive justice theory. In order to explore the research question and test the hypotheses, a 108 item questionnaire was administered to citizens in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis located in the Caribbean (N = 452). Analyses were performed using Bivariate Correlations, One-way ANOVA and Independent-Samples t-Test. Findings from the bivariate analyses showed that there is a moderate relationship between the economic, sociocultural, environmental and community impact indexes. The indexes measuring social exchange theory and distributive justice also showed moderate relationships with the work in the tourist industry (independent) variable. Results from several one-way ANOVA and independent samples t-Test showed that while most citizens’ were not concerned with the impacts of tourism, they were concerned with the personal, economic and fairness of rewards/ benefits associated with tourism industry

This Proceedings publication is a compilation of the papers presented on 12–14 November 2019 in the Vision Zero Summit 2019 in Helsinki

The Development of a Survey Instrument to Measure Transactional Distance in Secondary Blended Learning Environments

The goal of this study was to develop a survey instrument to measure transactional distance in secondary blended learning environments. This study resulted in a 35-item survey instrument, the Blended Learning Assessment Scale of Transactional Distance (BLASTD), which was tested using a convenience sample of secondary students (n=222) at a secondary blended learning site. The research followed a methodology for scale development developed by Hinkin, Tracey, and & Enz, and was conducted through the following seven steps: (1) Item Generation; (2) Content Adequacy Assessment; (3) Questionnaire Administration; (4) Factor Analysis; (5) Internal Consistency Assessment; (6) Construct Validity; and (7) Replication. The initial survey was administered a semi-rural blended learning site in the pacific northwest. The gathered responses were then used in statistical analyses that included an exploratory factor analysis utilizing a scree plot and item response eigenvalues to identify the underlying dimensions of the BLASTD survey, and a Cronbach’s alpha to establish the reliability of items and factors. Validity was examined by using a Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient correlating the results of the BLASTD with the selections of the Huang, Chandra, Depaolo, Cribbs, and Simmons or HCDCS Survey. The final survey contained 35 survey items and the survey instrument took into account Moore’s theory of transactional distance and is able to measure the dialogue between the instructor and student, the structure of the learning environment and educational learning opportunities, as well resulting student sense of separation or transactional distance
