This study aims to examine how residents' perceptions of overtourism differ across nature-based destinations with respect to selected sociodemographic factors. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1,000 residents across three Czech nature-based destinations to explore their perceptions of this issue. Findings confirmed that detailed knowledge of the residents' perceptions of overtourism according to socio-demographic factors such as employment in tourism, gender, and length of life in the destination would be a key aspect of sustainable tourism development. The presented findings have practical implications for local municipalities and DMOs. The study's results provided specific data enabling the optimisation of residents' dissatisfaction and ensuring sustainable tourism development in the studied destinations. These results have already been incorporated into the current Strategy of the Hradec Králové Regional Tourism Authority and applied within individual destination management frameworks.

Efficient transportation infrastructure is pivotal for the seamless functioning of global cities, with coastal cities facing unique challenges due to environmental peculiarities. This study delves into how Lagos' environmental peculiarities impact transportation infrastructure performance, shedding light on both positive and negative implications. A comprehensive survey involving 1284 residents within Lagos Metropolis was conducted using multistage sampling techniques. A combination of descriptive (percentage and mean-weighted analysis) and inferential (Fisher’s exact test and Phi Cramer's V Test) statistics was adopted for data analysis. Major findings revealed that the environmental peculiarities in Lagos foster the use of multimodal infrastructure options and concurrently exert adverse effects on various facets of transportation infrastructure performance, including travel cost, commuting time, fare charges, wear and tear of infrastructure, and the overall cost of maintenance and repairs. The results of the Fisher’s exact test underscore the undeniable impact of Lagos' environmental peculiarities on transportation infrastructure performance (p = 0.000 < 0.05). This study concludes that high water tables, as a representative environmental peculiarity, substantially influence transportation infrastructure performance, shaping the mobility needs of residents. In light of these findings, the study advocates for the full implementation of sustainable infrastructure solutions. Recommendations include establishing robust drainage systems, incorporating corrosion-resistant materials, and adopting innovative technologies to mitigate the repercussions of rising sea levels on critical transportation infrastructure, enhancing its resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
