 | TOURISM DEVELOPMENT Assessing Social Gains and Losses
Abstract: Resident attitudes toward tourism, and perceptions of its impacts, are often
diverse, with development often generating gains for some and losses for others. The net
effect has been discussed conceptually for many years. This study illustrates an empirical
evaluation of it, as well as of gains to tourists. Survey responses to hypothetical ski resort
development in A°
re, Sweden, indicate that some residents gain from such an expansion
while others lose; the net effect on the community is negative over the range of slopes evaluated.
Tourists gain from expansion, but their gains are not great enough to outweigh the net
losses for residents, such that the welfare change for society as a whole is negative. Keywords:

 | Tourism management and industrial ecology: a case study of food service in Taiwan
Abstract
The main purpose of industrial ecology is to evaluate and minimize impacts from economic activities. Tourism, as an economic
activity, results in a full range of environmental impacts and should be regarded as any other industry. Hence, the application of
industrial ecology in tourism was investigated to enhance environmental management of catering. More specifically, boxed food in
Taiwan was taken as a case study to demonstrate this new approach.
The framework for studying boxed food was based on material flow analysis. Boxed food analysis can be divided into two parts:
the meal box and the contents. Meal boxes were inventoried with a life cycle assessment (LCA). According to the findings of this
study, environmental impacts from a PP meal box production were more expensive than others, while those from a PS meal box
production were the lowest. The life cycle inventory analysis of the contents will be investigated with a new approach system in the
next phase of our work. This new approach is an integration of the LCA with the Hazard Analysis Control Point (HACCP) system.
