Figure 2
The diagram presents a conceptual framework illustrating the relationship between city planning, tourism development, sustainability evaluation, and policy feedback. On the left side, a circular node labeled “City Plan” connects with a rectangular box including two bullet points labeled “Targets” and “Policies” through two opposite arrows, indicating a two-way relationship between planning and policy direction. From this rectangular box, the process flows to “Tourism Industry”, then to “Sustainable Tourism”, and finally to “Sustainable Touristic City” on the right. Above the final stage, a box labeled “Evaluation” represents current performance assessment, connected by an upward arrow from “Sustainable Tourism”. “Evaluation” connects back to “Targets and Policies”, forming a feedback loop. From “Sustainable Touristic City”, a downward arrow leads to “Forecast”, representing estimated future performance. To the left of the forecast stage, five evaluation dimensions are listed vertically: Economy, Social, Environmental, Infrastructure, and Municipal Support. These indicators feed into a box labeled “Outcome and Recommendations” on the lower left. Finally, “Outcome and Recommendations” connects back to “Targets and Policies”, forming a feedback loop.Sustainable touristic city framework
