Outdoor tourism is a form of outdoor holiday that is growing rapidly today, and that stands out from other forms of tourism for its immediate relationship with the landscape which becomes for the tourist the main attraction of the holiday intended as a break from ordinary urban life. Outdoor tourism today represents a growing percentage in the tourism sector, in which mobile homes are the real players. Despite the considerable use of this product in open-air accommodations located in relevant landscapes, there is still no sensitivity in the constructive approach and in the choice of materials in terms of sustainability. In the open-air tourism sector, the lack of ecological sensitivity results from two levels of application: one regarding the whole settlement and the public spaces of outdoor accommodations and one regarding the mobile unit from the design to the production process. This paper will provide some practical strategies to introduce the ecological theme in the mobile home for the tourism sector. The research aims to analyze the production system of mobile homes in order to introduce alternative materials within the existing assembly line. The research demonstrates the possibility of a product being sustainable both economically and environmentally, healthy, and well-integrated with landscape by adopting an approach that makes it possible to use the same assembly line currently in use.

Recent data on the increase in the number of tourists in the outdoor tourism sector led to the need for greater attention to this phenomenon relating to environmental impact. Campsites and administrations deal with the sustainability issue regarding land use, climate and landscape, adopting sustainability protocols and applying a sustainable tourism approach. Among the main challenges is the need to deal with the local landscape. Campsites must define settlement systems that find site-specific solutions in compliance with the morphology, climate, and vegetation as environmental impact mitigation strategies. This study examines three case studies of campsites rethinking for environmental protection, starting from the settlement system of the maxi-caravans cluster. La Rocca Camping Village (lake) fits into the landscape following its morphology; Spiaggia e Mare Holiday Park (sea) contrasts the climatic element using a directed settlement; Agriturismo Fattoria la Palagina (hills) replicates the existing landscape by generating an integrated one. The case studies follow fundamental parameters for a landscape approach of campsite design: morphology, land use, biodiversity, sustainability and heritage. The paper aim is to demonstrate the sustainability of outdoor tourism, with respect to the landscape. The research results offer strategies for planning and regeneration of campsites to respond to sustainability issues.

This article highlights the potential of urban relations linked to collective accommodation centers (CACs) established following the Ukrainian conflict in several Polish cities. Poland has been one of the largest host countries for Ukrainian refugees; their location has been resolved with a widespread system of small centers instead of a massive solution. Faced with the human presence, it becomes essential to evaluate the urban nature of CACs, investigating the real and potential influence on the context in which they are inserted. It is interesting to ask how the neighborhood can respond to the presence of such structures, considering the temporality of the presence and status. The current state is analyzed according to the principles of the 15-min city, using the five largest CACs as focus points, and following a report of the actions carried out to integrate refugee communities into the sociourban context. An experimental, three-phase research framework was developed for the study, based on the application of artificial intelligence in GIS environments. Our research showed that, although several noteworthy inclusive events were organized for refugee communities in the analyzed areas, these events often lacked permanence. As a result, the opportunity to leave a lasting—although temporary—imprint on the urban landscape was largely missed.
