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.

In the era of the experience economy, ‘consumption experience’ has become an important part of people’s daily life needs. In this study, we adopted the perspective of user experience quality evaluation and found problems through field research; then, we built the evaluation dimension of theme creative markets based on experience quality combined with expert interviews to design the questionnaire. First of all, through online and offline questionnaire analysis on the experiencers of some theme creative markets in Guangzhou, the main factors that affect the quality of the tourists’ experience was explored. Secondly, through the analysis of the three dimensions of environment, activity, and service of some of the theme creative markets in Guangzhou, it was found that tourists have the highest score on the market activity and the lowest score on the market environment. Thirdly, through field observation and interviews with some experiencers, the reason for the low experience score was discovered. Finally, the corresponding design strategies were proposed for the environment, activities, and services, with a view to providing a reference for the improvement of the quality of the tourists’ experience and the improvement of the design of the theme creative markets.
