- Socio‐spatial vulnerabilities, peripheralization and post‐crises resilience: lessons from the portuguese casePublication . Carmo, Renato Miguel; Pinto, Hugo; Ferrão, JoãoExisting socio-spatial vulnerabilities in the pre-pandemic moment led to different impacts of COVID-19 on territories, reinforcing ongoing processes of peripheralization. This article develops a new approach to understand the linkages between socio-spatial vulnerabilities and the socio-economic impacts of this crisis. Using data from Portuguese municipalities, a typology of vulnerable territories is defined based on the degree of potential exposure and susceptibility to external shocks. The different groups of municipalities are then related to the impact of the pandemic crisis on unemployment dynamics in 2020 and 2021. The results confirm the existence of increased socio-spatial vulnerability in areas highly dependent on tourism as well as in fragile socio-economic intra-metropolitan areas. The article has implications for thinking forward about socio-spatial vulnerability, peripheralization and the emergence of left-behind places, stressing the need to foster resilience in order to transform regional economies in post-crises recovering periods.
- Examining identity and perceived risk on technology acceptance and behavioural intentions of fans: an extended TAM perspectivePublication . Shuya, Zhao; Ribeiro, Tiago; Almeida, VictorPurpose – The rise of digital innovations in the sports industry has led to the growing adoption of fan tokens, offering sports organisations new ways to engage with their fans. As these digital assets gain traction, understanding the factorsthat influence their acceptance becomesincreasingly critical. Thus, thisstudy usesthe Technology Acceptance Model to explore the roles of fan identity and the perceived risk in shaping fan token acceptance and aims to examine their effect on the behavioural intentions of football fans. Design/methodology/approach – Data were gathered from a sample of football fans (n 5 360) representing eight Brazilian clubs that issue official fan tokens through the Socios.com platform. Structural equation modelling was employed to test the hypothesized relationships within the proposed framework with bootstrapping techniques applied to assess the robustness of the estimates and examine the mediating effects of key variables on behavioural intentions. Findings – The results highlight the key role of TAM in predicting fan token adoption. Technological acceptance emerged as a strong predictor of both word-of-mouth communication and fan purchase intentions. Fan identity demonstrated a significant positive influence on fan token acceptance and purchase intention. Moreover, fan token acceptance was found to mediate the relationship between fan identity and behavioural intentions, indicating that fans with strong identification are more likely to adopt tokens from their sports clubs. Originality/value – This study advances theoretical understanding by incorporating fan identity, trust and perceived risk into the extended TAM framework. Our findings highlight the critical importance of trustbuilding strategies and effective risk mitigation in promoting fan adoption of technology and strengthening their behavioural intentions. The fan token industry should recognize the well-established and mediating role of technological acceptance while strengthening trust and leveraging fan identity to build deeper, value-driven connections.
- Social barriers to sports practice by people with disabilities: an integrative and critical review in sports managementPublication . Viegas, Inês; Ribeiro, Tiago; Santos, AnaThis study’s purpose is to describe and critically review the literature on social barriers (SBs) faced by people with disabilities (PwDs) in sports activities to develop a comprehensive understanding of current and further research in the field. Methodology: The Theory-Context-Characteristics Methodology (TCCM) offers a comprehensive understanding of the key theories, the contexts in which SBs occur, the characteristics of PwDs, and the research methods utilized in the field. Findings: Our analysis identified 37 SBs in 44 articles with publication year, geographical dispersion, journal type, contextual setting, methodological approaches, and variables being explored. The findings support the notion that this research topic is scarce in sport management journals, poor in other regions than North America and Europe, and has used mostly qualitative methods. Originality: This study offers a novel contribution by blending theoretical concepts with practical strategies to prevent SBs in sports. By adapting the Social Ecological Model of Inclusive Sport framework and integrating the Social Model of Disability, the study identifies specific levels of action where sport managers can intervene to reduce these barriers.
- Sex differences in health-related quality of life among individuals at high risk of dementiaPublication . Oliveira, Ana Sofia; Lopes, Sílvia; Ferreira, Lara; Cruz, Vítor Tedim; Costa, Ana RutePurpose Dementia represents an increasing challenge to health systems globally, with a notable impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Nevertheless, the potential effect of sex on the relation between individuals’ characteristics and HRQoL, particularly in the early stages of this disease, remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the association between sociodemographic, lifestyle and health-related factors with HRQoL among individuals at high risk of dementia, according to sex.Methods This cross-sectional study was based on baseline data from the MIND-Matosinhos randomized controlled trial, targeting Portuguese adults at high risk of dementia [n=207; 59.9% female; median age=70.0 (interquartile range: 11)]. HRQoL was measured using the EQ-5D-5L. The associations between explanatory variables and HRQoL scores (dichotomized by the median) were quantified through odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), stratified by sex. Results Overall, females reported lower HRQoL when compared with males [median (interquartile range): 0.875 (0.190) vs. 0.923 (0.129); p=0.004]. Problems in mobility (43.6% vs. 27.7%; p=0.021), pain/discomfort (71.8% vs. 44.6%; p for interaction=0.020). Conclusion Health status is associated with HRQoL, distinctively amongst males and females. These findings emphasize the need for sex-specific public health strategies to improve HRQoL in a vulnerable population of individuals at high risk of dementia.
- Smart specialisation evaluation with real project data: a general equilibrium model in Portugal’s Centro regionPublication . Szabó, Norbert; Polónyi-Andor, Krisztina; Sebestyén, Tamás; Pinto, HugoAs the first smart specialisation planning period (2014–2020) ended, monitoring and evaluation became crucial. Analysing the successes and failures of smart specialisation strategy (S3) through a good monitoring and evaluation system contributes to the evidence base on which an efficient redesign and improvement of S3 can be performed. In this paper, we apply an extended version of the geographic, macro and regional (GMR)-Europe economic impact model to provide a real-life evaluation of the implementation of S3 in Centro region using cohesion policy fund data between 2014 and 2023. Simulations reveal that policy instruments and policy mixes of priorities differ in efficiency and identify where improvements are desired.
- Waves of innovation: the role of sustainability in driving impact in the blue economy – a PLS-SEM approachPublication . Elston, Jennifer Nicole; Pinto, Hugo; Nogueira, CarlaThe Blue Economy, with its emphasis on ocean-based industries, is critical for achieving sustainable development. This study investigates the intricate relationship between sustainability, innovation, and their economic, environmental, and social impacts within Portugal’s Blue Economy. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the hypothesized relationships between sustainability, innovation, and triple bottom line (TBL) outcomes based on survey data from firms operating in the sector. The findings confirm that innovation acts as both a direct outcome of sustainability efforts and a mechanism for mediating its impacts on economic and environmental performance. However, no significant direct or mediating effects were observed for social outcomes, highlighting a persistent gap in this dimension that requires further research. The study contributes to both theory and practice by highlighting the strategic integration of sustainability into organizational innovation processes and its role in enhancing multidimensional performance. By identifying critical pathways and barriers, this study offers valuable guidance for policymakers and industry leaders striving to enhance the long-term sustainability of the Blue Economy.
- Building resilience in tourism firms: evidence from COVID-19Publication . Jesus, Carina; Serra Coelho, Luís Miguel; Ramos, CeliaMultiple factors determine tourism companies' capacity to resist and overcome disruptive events, such as pandemics or wars. This paper investigates this issue using a sensitivity index and finds that reductions in human capital, bigger size, and higher past profitability diminish resilience, while higher leverage and capital intensity strengthen it. Our findings further suggest that these effects differ across countries and underscore the negative consequences of Eurozone membership. This paper broadens our understanding of how companies can improve their resilience, providing valuable insights for future preparedness strategies for tourism firms and policymakers.
- Unravelling consumer sentiments towards communicated health-safety and sustainability practices in hotelsPublication . Pérez Aranda, Javier Ramón; Tolkach, Denis; Ahn, Euijoon; Chen, Fang-weiCOVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted travel and hospitality industry. As hotels began to reopen after the initial lockdowns, many implemented new standards to reduce health risks. At the same time, travel recommender sites and accommodation booking websites introduced sustainability labelling and health and safety badges to help travellers book safe and sustainable accommodation options. This study investigates a 2,655 online hotel reviews from Costa del Sol region of Spain, collected between February 2020 and March 2021 to capture the full impact of the pandemic’s first year on tourism sector. Using a deep learning-based sentiment analysis combined with ANOVA, the study examines gest perceptions of hotels’ health and sustainability standards and explores their relationship with overall review scores. Additionally, the content of the reviews is analysed to identify emerging themes and associated sentiments. The findings indicate that although guests rarely mentioned health measures explicitly, these practices had a measurable impact on review scores. While the analysis of sustainability-related sentiments remains exploratory, preliminary results suggest that highercategory hotels (i.e., 4- or 5-star) are more likely to communicate a broader range of implemented sustainability, health, and safety practices. More research is needed to understand the evolving sentiment towards health and sustainability issues amongst hotel guests across various segments of travel and hospitality industry as wells as across cultures.
- Global spillovers between sustainable and traditional ETFS: crisis dynamics and policy implicationsPublication . Gabriel, Vítor Manuel de Sousa; Lozano, María Belén; Matias, Fernanda; Neves, Maria Elisabete; Rebelo, SandraThis paper examines the interconnections between segments of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), bridging the traditional financial perspective with the sustainability-driven approach based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in Agenda 2030. The analysis is endogenous, focusing on the shocks that emerge within the system composed of these segments. Utilizing daily data from six sustainable segments, each corresponding to different SDGs, alongside one traditional segment, spanning a sample period of approximately 14 years, the study reveals notable spillover effects. Specifically, the periods associated with the pandemic and the war in Ukraine were marked by a significant surge in information transmission across the segments. Furthermore, the findings indicate that sustainable segments exhibit a strong interdependence with their traditional counterparts, a dynamic that facilitates contagion risk and limits the effectiveness of portfolio diversification strategies.
- Exploring cbersecurity treats to solo female travelersPublication . Ghaderi, Zahed; Bagheri, Fatemeh; Esfehani, Minoo; Beal, Luc; Houanti, L’HocineThe rise of solo female travel and increased reliance on digital tools for planning, booking, and activities highlight the significance of cybersecurity. However, this topic remains underexplored in tourism research, particularly for vulnerable solo female travelers. This study addresses the gap by examining the cybersecurity risk perceptions of solo female travelers, employing Protection Motivation Theory and conducting interviews with 26 solo female travelers worldwide. Findings reveal a remarkable shift in awareness, with participants moving from underestimating risks to adopting proactive measures. Commonly cited concerns include data breaches, identity theft, phishing, ransomware extortion, cyberstalking, and sexual harassment. Travelers expressed heightened susceptibility (threat appraisal) and a commitment to mitigation strategies (coping appraisal). They emphasized the importance of digital literacy, secure travel applications, and robust safety protocols. This study proposes that tourism businesses and destination managers institutionalize cybersecurity strategies that protect and empower digitally vulnerable solo female travelers, fostering trust and resilience.
