"The document is a presentation of the land use and transportation plan for Madison County. Following the statement of assumptions, proposed goals and proposed policies, is an analysis of the projected development demand, the rationale upon which this plan was formulated. The projected development demand utilized the best available data regarding existing land use, existing and proposed transportation facilities, as well as evaluations of the extent and character of the provision of essential urban services. The resulting plan may be considered conventional in character, since it takes account of the broad range of existing financial commitments by both the public and private sectors. The plan presented is coordinated with the plan for St. Clair County. Part II of this document is a summation of the various survey and analysis elements which were utilized as data inputs for the total plan conception. The conclusions of these various elements are stated, while the detailed studies are published in separate documents. These documents are outlined in the appendix."--Preliminary page.

This book examines the evolution of the phenomenon and explores the genesis of overtourism and the system dynamics underlining it. The 'overtourism' phenomenon is defined as the excessive growth of visitors leading to overcrowding and the consequential suffering of residents, due to temporary and often seasonal tourism peaks, that lead to permanent changes in lifestyles, amenities and well- being. Enormous tensions in overtourism affected destinations have driven the intensification of policy making and scholarly attention toward seeking antidotes to an issue that is considered paradoxical and problematic. Moving beyond the 'top 10 things you can do about overtourism', this book examines the evolution of the phenomenon and explores the genesis of overtourism as well as the system dynamics underpinning it. With a rigorous scientific approach, the book uses systems-thinking and contemporary paradigms around sustainable development, resilience planning and degrowth; while considering global economic, socio-political, environmental discourses. Researchers, analysts, policy makers and industry stakeholders working within tourism as well as those within the private sector, community groups, civil society groups and NGOs will find this book an essential source of information.
