| Summary: | The study is concerned with the assessment of the residents', officers' and
visitors' perceptions towards current and future impacts of tourism development and
its resources in terms of importance and attractiveness. Based on the results of this
study, the knowledge was translated into specific rules, which were incorporated into
the expert system (ES). The tool chosen to represent the acquired knowledge in the ES
was CLIPS. TIRA_EX (Tourism Impact and Resources Assessment Expert) is the
name of the ES. It was developed through a combination of interviews with residents,
government officers and visitors. All the knowledge information is stored in databases
that can be updated and referred to through the ES. The possible role for TIRA_EX is
as an intelligent assistant that aids management in analysing problems in tourism
development. At the same time, it provides decision-maker with an effective way of
examining possible impacts of tourism development and its resources in order to
formulate future strategy for sustainable development of tourism, and keeps its
impacts at a desired level, especially in Langkawi Island and in Malaysia in general. |
