| Tóm tắt: | This study focuses on the promotion and use of tourist-oriented built-for-disasterpurpose mobile applications.
The investigation relies on two trends that are characterizing modern societies. The first trend refers to the fact
that recently, rapidly, and worldwide, the number of mobile applications users increased. The second trend
refers to the fact that, worldwide, international tourism demand highly increased from the beginning of the
1960s to the mid-years of 2010s. These travelers are also users of mobile applications, and they use apps for
several reasons, including those related to security/emergency issues. International travelers may need information
such as risks at the destination, warnings, shelter locator services, emergency routes information, and
traveler telephone hotline to be used in the case of earthquakes, tsunamis, infectious diseases, or other disasters.
We considered the role of built-for-disasterpurpose mobile applications as a tool to provide information to
tourists, increase their risk-awareness, and improve their disaster-preparedness. Previous studies suggest that
these tools may have a high impact in that sense. However, the number of users informed about these applications
tends to be very low. We systematically reviewed interdisciplinary academic contributions to analyze
research on apps-users? intention to adopt mobile applications. Findings suggest opportunities for future tourismoriented
studies aiming at increasing the number of users of built-for-disasters mobile applications. In particular,
we provide a research agenda taking into consideration the geographical spread of the studies, the used research
techniques, and the adopted theories. |
