International Journal of Conservation Science (IJCS) Description
This paper aims to analyze and evaluate the function of two types of ancient mortars in the bathhouse at al-Muwaqqar archaeological site in Jordan to promote the awareness level of cultural heritage conservation of ancient buildings and mortars in Jordan. The conservation of archaeological structures requires a thorough characterization and identification of the mortar components before carrying out the restoration, after the preserved results, and during the restoration process to decide how it responds. This work creates an experimental contribution through FTIR to study the influence of organic components on the mechanical performance of the mortar. The application of new techniques in terms of sustainability and compatibility is nowadays more and more important to preserve historical monuments, especially in the context of the increasing damage to the mortar joints in the al-Muwaqqar site. The paper presents new results concerning the identification of the binding materials of mortars, especially the organic parts as egg white or other organic components used in the bathhouse to connect the mosaics, and the collection of further information for compatibility challenges. The results will provide a new pioneering approach application in Jordan in the field of ancient restoration using mortar. The study concludes that it is easy to identify all the organic components of the mortar using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in the different bands of the organic material supported by thermogravimetric analysis TGA/SEMEDX. The investigations of both methods have provided accurate information about the technology of mortar production …

This study examines the wall painting in the Roman tomb in the city of Abila (Qwailbeh). Archeometrical study to know the actual composition of the pigments used in the composition of the mural paintings is very important to archaeologists, especially with regard to restoration and preservation processes. This study aspires to provide a qualitative addition to this field by knowing the characteristics and components of these wall drawings in the city of Abila the techniques used in their implementation and identification of these dyes collecting information about them and determining the identification of pigments and binders for making these wall paintings. This research is also useful in presenting the factors affecting these drawings, which in turn threaten their survival in order to know the correct methods of preservation and protection of these drawings. The methodology used in the analysis of pigments included the use of three spectroscopy techniques, FTIR, XRD, and XRF on a complementary manner. These techniques for testing samples showed that the main element of all samples is calcium, and this indicates that lime was used as a binder and white dye at the same time, it was also noted that organic materials are varied as egg-white, wheat paste and beeswax were used as binders by fresco-secco technique as detected by FTIR. Pigments identified were red iron and yellow ochre (with a high content of hydrated iron oxides such as goethite and limonite) Egyptian blue, white lead, carbon black soot, and malachite.

Abstract:
This research delves into the determinants influencing tourists’ intentions to visit Mount Ijen, a prominent volcanic destination in Indonesia. The study incorporates several predictive factors, which include destination image, self-congruity, sensation-seeking, perceived value, and destination personality. Two hundred sixteen participants were totally engaged in the study, selected through a convenient sampling approach. The data analysis encompassed exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling. The comprehensive analysis of the findings unveiled significant results: destination image notably impacts self-congruity, novelty-seeking, perceived value, and destination personality. Besides, a perceived value influences visit intention significantly. However, the fifth hypothesis concludes a significant effect of self-congruity, novelty-seeking, and destination personality on the visit intention. The research results enhance the understanding of volcano, crater, and geothermal tourism. The research deepens insights into the intricate dynamics between tourists’ perceptions of destination attributes and their intent to visit. Thorough exploration contributes to the discourse on geotourism and nature-based tourism, furnishing insights to steer destination management strategies and inspire further scholarly inquiries in this domain.

Abstract: This study investigates the impact of destination awareness, credibility, reputation, and association on visit intention. The study was conducted at Mount Bromo, in Indonesia’s East Java Province, which has become a popular destination for domestic and international tourists. The study involved 227 participants selected through the convenience sampling method, and the collected data were analysed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation models. The study found that destination awareness and credibility significantly influenced destination reputation and association, which, in turn, had a significant impact on visiting intentions. These research findings are essential in advancing volcano tourism studies and provide a deeper understanding of the factors influencing tourist intention to visit such destinations. The implications of these research findings can guide tourism industry practitioners and decision-makers in developing more effective marketing strategies, and this study contributes significantly to volcano tourism literature.

Pages: 43-49 Abstract: Salt weathering is considered one of the most important factors leading to the damage of Petra’s monuments. Inhabiting or limiting the crystallization of these salts could therefore prevent/slow down the destruction of Petra’s sandstones. Using of sodium ferrocyanide as a salt crystallization inhibitor has been proved in the past as a pro-spective treatment measure against salt weathering. This study is the first to inv-estigate the effectiveness of salt crystallization inhibitor on a stone material loaded with a salt mixture. The effect of sodium ferrocyanide on the crystallization of salt mixtures inside sandstone samples from Petra has been studied. The results showed that using of inhibitor changes the crystal morphology of salts from cubic to dendrites, which makes the drying time faster than that of pure salt solution. Therefore, allows the salt to crystallize on the surface of the stone in the form of harmless efflorescence rather than destructive sub-florescence.
Keywords: Salt weathering Salt mixtures Sodium ferrocyanide Crystallization inhibitor Efflorescence Sub-florescence

Abstract:
Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE) is a lucrative tourism segment, offering higher per capita spending and larger returns on investment than other tourism types. However, what makes a successful MICE destination from a multi-stakeholder perspective is overlooked in the literature. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to explore the features of ideal MICE destinations based on the perspectives of different stakeholders in the MICE market, including supply (e.g., C.V.B.s, lodging) and demand (e.g., Travel agencies, incentive houses). In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 experts. The results of the thematic analysis revealed seven overarching themes, which are classified under the characteristics of a MICE destination were grouped under internal (infrastructure, superstructure, service quality) and external (cultural, natural, economic, and political) factors. To confirm the validity and reliability of the findings, the results of semi-structured interviews were further evaluated by conducting focus groups with seven MICE experts. This study extends current literature by identifying destination selection factors with a more holistic approach, which reflects the perspectives of different stakeholders. The findings also provide a foundation for developing marketing strategies and allocating resources to better position the destination.

Abstract: A growing yet fragmented debate addressing digital nomadism has recently emerged across different disciplines, including management, organizational behavior, and mobility studies. However, the intersection between digital nomadism and leisure and tourism activities remains blurred. Integrating existing theoretical assessments, this conceptual paper scrutinize digital nomadism from a tourism and leisure perspective, and attempts to provide a broader understanding of this phenomenon. The paper repositions digital nomads in the center of tourism and travel discourse by describing their key characteristics, mobility motives, destination selection process, and critical features, singling them out from conventional business/leisure tourists. This paper significantly contributes to an emerging stream of tourism research addressing digital nomadism as an emerging lifestyle market and provides timely practical implications for policymakers and industry practitioners.

Abstract:
This study examines the factors influencing Muslim consumers' purchase intentions for Muslim apparel products through TikTok live streaming. Data were collected in Jakarta, with 225 participants selected using convenient sampling. The collected data underwent analysis using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. The results revealed several key findings.
Firstly, the hypothesis that TikTok marketing activities significantly influence perceived innovativeness was supported. Additionally, it was found that TikTok marketing activities significantly affect perceived enjoyment. However, the hypothesis that perceived innovativeness significantly impacts purchase intention was rejected.
Furthermore, it was established that perceived innovativeness significantly influences perceived enjoyment, and perceived enjoyment significantly affects purchase intention. These findings contribute to expanding knowledge in social commerce, particularly in understanding the dynamics of consumer behavior within the context of Muslim apparel products marketed through TikTok live streaming.
The acceptance of hypotheses regarding the influence of TikTok marketing activities on perceived innovativeness and enjoyment underscores the importance of social media marketing strategies in shaping consumer perceptions and experiences. However, rejecting the hypothesis concerning the direct impact of perceived innovativeness on purchase intention suggests that other factors may mediate this relationship, warranting further investigation.

Abstract: Therefore, the objective of the research is to test the effectiveness of the Attention-Interest-Search-Action-Share model in mining heritage tourism but replacing the Action component with tourist citizenship behaviour. This will therefore yield new and key insights because there are few studies conducted in this area. The current study selected 220 tourists through a convenience sampling technique. The gathered data was treated with exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling techniques. Confirmatory results found on the acceptance of the first hypothesis, which is Attention Influences Interest, attention becomes very important in ensuring riveting tactics are put in place when promoting mining heritage tourism. The second hypothesis, Curiosity influences Search, is also supported and confirms that only in the condition of a deep level of curiosity, tourists search for information. The third hypothesis is stating that interest influences TCB. The fourth hypothesis postulates that interest influences Share. It supported the sixth hypothesis stating that Search influences TCB. The rejection was of the sixth hypothesis that stated Search influences Share. The seventh theory stated that TCB influences Share, thereby is accepted. These findings bear some significant implications for attaining the sustainable development goals. Precisely, it means that the promotion of mining heritage tourism advances SDG 11—Sustainable Cities and Communities—since this ensures cultural heritage is preserved and contributes to inclusive and sustainable urban development. Likewise, with increased engagement of tourists during citizenship behaviours, this particular act contributes to SDG 12 through the aspect of sustainable tourism and raising awareness. Similarly, the positive experiences that are increasingly wide follow up essentially give rise to SDG 8 through the promotion of tourism as one of the prime movers for improving the economy.

Abstract This research aims to analyse factors that affect the tourists' intention by visiting Bangka Island, Indonesia, studying predictors that include destination publicity, awareness, image, and preference; this comprehensive approach is very rarely applied to island tourism. A total of 230 tourists were approached for participation in this study with an appropriate sampling method. The data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling. The results revealed that destination publicity has a significant influence on destination awareness, destination image, and destination preference. However, the study found that intention to visit was significantly influenced by knowledge about the destination and perceptions of the place. Choice of destination, however, had a minimum effect on desire to visit. These findings, in addition to enhancing our understanding of consumer behaviour and destination marketing in island tourism, reiterate the importance of good publicity within a country, showing just how awareness and image impact tourists' disposition toward visiting a destination and therefore offering valuable lessons for all stakeholders in tourism. This study indicates that effective destination publicity and improved destination awareness and image can contribute to the creation of economic growth and new jobs in island destinations like Bangka Island, while at the same time enhancing forms of responsible tourism that promote sustainable use of resources and reduce negative impacts on the environment. Thus, it would have very relevant repercussions on SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

Abstract This study seeks to investigate the effect of destination image, self-congruence, and destination personality on the visitors' intentions to visit the Imogiri Royal Cemetery, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. The cemetery is considered a historical and cultural place wherein a few kings and sultans who once ruled Java lie buried. Thousands of tourists visit this place throughout the year, especially on dates that have great significance in the Islamic and Javanese calendars. Data were collected from a convenience sample comprising of 220 tourists in Yogyakarta. Results show that destination image is an antecedent to destination personality, while self-congruence and destination personality each positively relate to the visit intentions of tourists. Conversely, one’s destination image does not predict self-congruence. In contributing to the literature at the intersection of royal and dark tourism, this underpins sustainability in tourist tourism, destination marketing, and consumer behaviour. The implications of such a study are found to fall in line with the United Nations SDGs, specifically Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, regarding the promotion of sustainable tourism, which brings in income and provides employment; and Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, due to the fostering of conservation and promotion at the cultural heritage sites.

Abstract: Tourism services are particularly vulnerable to crises because of their hedonic and transitory nature. Notably, external crises have destination-wide negative impacts, which require a collective response usually led by governments for a more effective recovery. Despite the consensus on governments’ role and legitimacy in mitigating crises recovery, there is a dearth of research identifying these tools facilitating intervention and their effectiveness. Thus, the paper aims to explore various government crises mitigation strategies for the tourism industry. This research is based on a mixed-method approach. First, it explores government responses to crises through semi-structured interviews with industry stakeholders. Then, we conduct a survey to target industry experts and measure the effectiveness of government responses and their impact on various key performance indicators during crises. From an academic point of view, the research contributes to an understanding of the efficiency of different government recovery intervention methods, which are overlooked in crisis management theory. Based on managerial contributions, the study provides an effective design of the public tools for more crisis-immune businesses, where governments should prioritise managing external crises by establishing processes, standards, support services, information and communication.
