Travel Vlogs: gathering new evidence for tourism research in the digital era
This project aims to:
- to understand tourist experience in the digital era, by applying the Orchestra Model to analysis tourists’ Sensory, Affective, Cognitive, Behaviour and relationship, that are presented in vlogs;
- to examine how technology (here, the vlogs) influences tourist’ memory of holiday experience; and
- to evaluate the impact of UGC videos on destination image management.
Exploring the social-media related factors that contribute to responsible behaviour between Japanese and Indonesia tourists
This research investigates responsible tourism behaviours among young travellers, examining how cultural backgrounds influence perceptions, intentions, and practices. Focusing on a cross-cultural comparison between Japanese and Indonesian travellers, the study seeks to highlight both universal and culture-specific aspects of responsible tourism. The research objectives are twofold: first, to explore similarities and differences in responsible tourism behaviours between the two cultural groups; and second, to examine how social media content influences travellers’ intentions for responsible travel, mediated by cultural factors.
Examining interplay between tourism seasonality and sustainability in Cairns
Seasonality presents persistent and complex challenges for sustainable tourism development across the world. High seasonality results in unevenly spread temporal contribution of tourism to local economy, creates stresses on destination's resources and local population in high season, and endangers livelihoods dependent on tourism in low season (Martin Martin et al., 2020; Zvaigzne et al., 2022). While numerous methods, such as Gini coefficients, seasonality indexes (Petrevska, 2012; Rana, 2014), and time series analyses - have been applied to identify seasonal trends, empirical evaluation of proposed mitigation strategies remains limited. Meanwhile, the tourism industry is undergoing a paradigm shift towards integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns into business practices and performance metrics (Lin et al., 2024; Zheng et al., 2025). Existing literature has yet to explore whether and how the sustainability perceptions influence seasonality of tourism demand.
Reconnecting through roots: Exploring the role of diaspora tourism in mental health literacy among Indonesian migrants in North Queensland, Australia
This project investigates how reconnecting with cultural roots through diaspora tourism can improve mental health literacy (MHL) and emotional wellbeing among Indonesian migrants in North Queensland, Australia. By examining the lived experiences of migrants who return to Indonesia, the study aims to identify how cultural reconnection supports mental health understanding, reduces stigma, and promotes help-seeking behaviours. Insights will be translated into culturally responsive tools and recommendations for multicultural health services.
Influencing agriculture practice behaviour change and trust frameworks. (Old ID 26963)
The ecologically-determined water quality improvement targets for the Great Barrier Reef can only be met with significant improvement in farm management practices. Numerous programs over many years, utilising a variety of approaches, have worked with land managers and representative farmer groups, seeking to achieve high levels of uptake of recommended farming practices. However, these have only met with low-moderate success. There has been significant work encouraging and facilitating behaviour and practice change in recent years, including through, but certainly not limited to, the NESP TWQ Hub. Programs encouraging behaviour and practice change are set to remain a feature of contemporary reef funding programs. Thus it is timely to coordinate a synthesis of learnings in this domain. Increasing understanding of, and improving trust frameworks and behaviour change of land managers will lead to improved water quality to the Great Barrier Reef. Understanding the impetus, benefits and barriers of behaviour change for agricultural practice is a large step in improving water quality to the Great Barrier Reef.
F2F TEKFARM - Accelerating and Scaling Adoption of Drought Resilience Technologies
Activities are aligned with the TNQ Drought Hub technology adoption, on-farm deployment and current activities. This funding will support key Hub staff in technology adoption and complement the $1.25m 12-month extension through Future Drought Fund (FDF) funding. JCU will contribute to the project steering committee, guide at least 15 primary producers through agtech capability building, facilitate at least 30 technology deployments on farm.
Research Data Services (Old ID 22208)
The intended outcomes from the RDSI (EIF) project, as described in the 2013-14 RDSI Business Plan, comprise the establishment of (a) a number of high-capacity storage nodes, and (b) a dedicated high-bandwidth, low latency inter-connection network to support data transfer and replication, together with the implementation of (c) common access infrastructure that provides a uniform user access experience, and (d) appropriate specialised access infrastructure, including the hosting of specialist access tools related to national collections.
"Money on my Mind": Investigating the Dynamics of Financial Worry (Old ID 26950)
We aim to (1) examine the extent to which financial worry is "dynamic", that is, the extent to which financial worry changes over time within individuals, for instance from week-to-week; (2) examine how intra-individual changes in financial worry associate with intra-individual changes in personal well-being, social and human capital, and labour market behaviour (3) identify moderating factors that mitigate the negative effects of financial worry; that is, factors that may offset the deleterious effects of financial worry and eventually help in breaking the poverty cycle. We will conduct bi-weekly surveys of individuals with various backgrounds, in three countries Netherlands, Belgium and Australia.
Capacity Building in French Polynesia: Research Capacity, Regional Integration and Economic Development (Old ID 22646)
The project aims at establishing research capacity in the field of Employment Relations and Economic Development in Polynesia in liaison with the Tahiti Business School (TBS). The development of research capacity will also provide TBS staff and students with bridging opportunities and a regional/international network that will enable them to invest in scientific activities, higher education and career development. The project includes three streams: (1) Organisational Development; (2) Research Development; (3) Regional Integration and Institutional Partnership. The project is developed in line with JCU’s strategic intent and commitment to capacity development in Tropical societies.
Bridging Tropical Business Communities: Reaching out to the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the South Pacific (Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and Polynesia) and Enhancing Research Collaborative Venture and Student's Mobility (Old ID 22956)
This project is threefold. The first objective is to bridge the North Queensland business community with French Chambers of Commerce and Industry in the Pacific (Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia). The second objective is to follow up the MOU signed between JCU and Tahiti Business School in relation to students' exchanges in view of a forthcoming Erasmus application. The third is flag JCU research expertise and identify avenues for research development, in particular in the field of tourism, in association with the Observatoire International de l'Emploi et du Development Economique de Polynesia Francoise (OIEDE-PF).
