Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

To achieve the objectives, The research will be based on theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part will be based on Literature review where a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the impact of natural disasters on tourism will be conducted. This will include a review of academic journals from different sources, including Internet sources, books, journals and so on. The practical part will be divided into two different segments: qualitative and quantitative methods. A survey questionnaire will be conducted for the quantitative method and semi structured interviews will be performed for the qualitative method. Questions will be based on how natural disasters affect tourism plans, and how the Internet of Things (IoT) contribute to disaster response and preparedness. Based on the outcomes derived from these methods, a low-fidelity (Lo-fi) prototype for mobile applications will be developed as a demonstrative solution, offering suggestions for practical utilization.
