The literature review of research proposal

It is a literature review of “Local residences’ awareness of environment conservation and sustainable tourism in terms of tourism development: A study of environmental protected area in Gui Zhou, China”

This assignment will require you to conduct, organize, and write a comprehensive
review of existing research literature around the topic, purpose statement, and
research questions you have chosen. This task will involve extensive reading of
scholarly and industry publications, comparing the findings, assessing the
hypotheses and insights, defining constructs and terminology, comparing various
research methods, and identifying gaps in studies. It should focus primarily on the
findings of published research.

The literature review should include information about the following areas:

1. Major studies–What are the major writers in the areas of your topic?
What do they have to say about the results of previous work? Which ones provide a general background and which ones are focused more specifically on the aspects of the topic that interest you?

2. Patterns and gaps – What common threads do you find? Where do the
findings of various studies agree with and contradict each other? What
are the gaps in the literature? What is missing, either from content,
process, method, or findings?

3. Parallel research–What other research has been done in areas that
might relate to the topic you want to investigate? How does this research
contribute to ways you think about your research and related
developments in the industry?

4. Sampling – What populations have been sampled? What generalizations
been drawn that make sense? What other populations should have been
investigated?

5. Methods–What are the common research method shave been used in
the areas you are examining? What do the studies suggest for your
research?

6. Findings–What have been the major results, the key insights, or the
conclusions of research? What level(s) of generalization can you make
from these results? What are the limits of these findings?

7. Annotated Bibliography – What sources have you consulted? Which ones
are most valuable? Which ones provide limited insights and which ones
contribute a great deal to your analysis of trends?

The literature review should begin with an introductory section that describes your
purpose statement, its significance, and the structure of the review. Next, the
literature review should contain clear sections and transitions between sections.
Lastly, there should be a conclusion that summarizes the key insights. The full
literature review of approximately eight (8) to twelve (12) pages in length, double-
spaced, with no spelling or grammatical errors and adhering to MLA style of citations
and bibliographical references should be accompanied by an annotated bibliography
of all the works cited.

attention: the annotated bibliography includes the citation of the academic journal, summary of the academic journal and the your comments about it. (there are examples in literature review example 1)

attention: all the resource has to be scholar article, you can use google scholar or other data bases that are available for you

attention: you don’t necessarily need to search the resource that relate to Gui Zhou, China. Focus on research the background of the general topic

attention: I already chose the topic of the research and some research questions that might be helpful to you

The research purpose: the aim of this research is to investigate local residences’ awareness of environment conservation and sustainable tourism in terms of tourism development in natural area.

Basic research questions: 1. Do locals think the mass of tourism development around their village affects their normal life?

2. Do they find the environment they are living are polluted by tourism development?

3. Does the economic benefits they received from tourism development make them overlook the pollution caused by tourism development and tourists’ uneducated behavior?

4. Why it is important for locals to understand how to regulate tourists behavior and control visitor flow rate in attempt to achieve sustainable tourism

5. Why it is important for locals to control their own behavior when they try to offer the best experience for tourists, such as providing wildlife products.

(These are some research question I can think of, which can help you generate the angle and aspect of this research. You can also develop more around this topic)

the attachments are some examples of literature review and some scholar articles I found related to the topic. Make sure you will search more to support the research

the example 1 contains examples of annotated bibliography

Cost Accounting Case Study

The Perkins Cove Yacht Company Case

June 2018

Perkins Cove Yacht Company produces three models of yachts. All are 44 feet long.One is a standard Fiberglass model with nylon sails and a fixed keel made of lead and fiberglass named the Goose Rocks.It comes with a standard depth finder, compass and 20 horsepower diesel auxiliary motor.It sells for $140,000.

The Kennebunkport model has upgrades with radar, GPS nautical charts, enhanced batteries, and Teflon coated carbon fiber sails.The engine produces 100 horsepower and can run a cabin heater.It can completely recharge the battery in less than an hour. The Kennebunkport sells for $240,000.

The Ogunquit model is a custom-made with a deck made from teak and a cabin constructed from special woods. The sails are made from the traditional flax based canvass.The hull is from specially cut oak from local forests.It has the look of a vessel constructed in 1850 by a quality Maine shipyard with 2018 comforts and safety.The Ogunquit sells for $1,050,000.Workers who build the Ogunquit are specialty craftsmen.They earn twice the hourly rate of those working on the two standard models.Note: Labor rate is fully loaded for benefits.

Most of Perkins Cove Yacht’s sales come from the Goose Rocks and the Kennebunkport, but sales of the Ogunquit model have been growing.Below is the company’s sales, production, and cost information for last year:

*These manufacturing overhead costs are fixed in nature: they do not vary with the volume of manufacturing activity.

The company allocates overhead costs equally to each yacht.It prices to achieve more dollars of profit on the higher priced yachts.Richard Perkins, president of Perkins Cove yacht, is concerned that something seems wrong with the traditional costing system. The company may not be generating accurate information and that the selling price of the custom Ogunquit may not be covering its true cost.

Questions:

A.Part one: Create an excel file to show how much overhead was allocated to each of the three yacht models last year.Briefly explain the advantages and disadvantages of the current overhead allocation system (5 points to fully meet requirements; one extra point for quality of exceptional quality of explanation).

B.What would be the advantages and disadvantages of using more than one cost pool? What cost pools would you recommend if more than one pool is used, and explain why you would recommend those pools (answer in Excel file, but no calculation required) (4 points to fully meet requirements; 2 extra points for exceptional quality of explanation)

C.Perkins Cove production manager proposes allocating overhead by direct labor hours since the different models of yachts require different amounts of labor.Show in your created excel file (response to question A above) how much overhead would be allocated to each yacht (per unit and in total) under this direct labor allocation. Show all supporting calculations, in a comparison table (comparing method A with method C) (6 points to fully meet requirements)
