The sustainable development of rural tourism is conducive to awakening “sleeping” resources, upgrading the industrial structure in rural areas, enhancing the revitalization ability of rural areas, accelerating the construction of cultural tourism, and promoting the strategy of rural revitalization. The loyalty of tourists has been considered as an important construct to describe the relationship between rural tourism growth and travelers’ future behavioral intentions. This study aims to integrate the relationship between authentic experience, involvement, place attachment, and loyalty into rural tourism research. The results of the study showed that tourists’ authentic experience and tourism participation have a significantly positive effect on place identity and place dependence (two different dimensions of place attachment), and authentic experience significantly positively affects involvement. Place identity and place dependence greatly and positively affect tourist loyalty. Furthermore, place dependence and place identity play a comprehensive mediating role in the relationship between authentic experience, involvement, and loyalty. The research findings provide a theoretical foundation and a point of reference for rural destinations in developing additional strategies and initiatives.

In recent years, the prevalence of sensory integration disorders in children in urban areas has increased. Most existing sensory integration treatments are located in hospital-based sensory integration units; however, medical resources are extremely limited, making it difficult to guarantee the appropriate treatment time and intervention results for many children. The concept of sensory integration therapy must be disseminated widely and correctly to meet these children’s needs. Although most urban communities have a high number of children’s spaces, these spaces require improvement. This study proposes the incorporation of the concept of sensory integration therapy into neighborhood open spaces for children to positively impact children’s sensory development. The purpose of this study is to determine the effective facility factors of an occupational therapy room, translate them into a community facility design, clarify the categories and relative importance of each design attribute, and explore the design strategies of the children’s facilities in neighborhood open spaces based on the sensory integration theory. This study investigates the importance of the sensory integration treatment level. The facilities in neighborhood open spaces for children can be considered systemic structures consisting of five partitioned units with different levels of importance among the synergistic components within each unit. These structures will enable children to experience sensory stimulation during daily outdoor play and will serve as preventive and therapeutic tools.

Nosocomial Infections (NIs) are a major global public health problem, and their prevention and control are becoming increasingly challenging as their mechanisms become more complex. With a growing elderly population, an escalating number of patients are becoming vulnerable, and the higher incidence of severe infectious diseases has resulted in a surge in the cost of NI prevention and control. Facing the severity of hospital-acquired infections and preventing the occurrence of other potential widespread public health crises necessitates a complete redesign in our approach to effectively minimise such infections in dental hospitals. Therefore, the primary objective should be to mitigate the incidence of hospital-acquired infections by investigating the best design strategies for the layout of functional areas, the organisation of flow lines, and the decorative aesthetic of the spatial environment of the dental hospital. In this study, we identified spatial planning and design elements aimed at mitigating the risk of nosocomial infections. We constructed a framework for these design elements using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). We validated the complex relationships and priority criteria in the evaluation framework using DANP. Furthermore, we iteratively extrapolated spatial sketches using genetic algorithms, and optimisation was conducted accordingly. The study's key implication is the development of a comprehensive structure that allows decision makers to assess the spatial setting of oral healthcare objectively. They can then map the network of relationships (INRM) based on the results of the performance assessment, assign impact weights (IWs) to each criterion, and optimise spatial scenarios using genetic algorithms. To prevent the wastage of resources resulting from haphazard design, more efficient and scientific resources are invested into the design of dental hospital spaces.
