14 pages, This study aimed to estimate the economic benefits of the mangrove ecosystem resulting from coastal rehabilitation efforts in the coastal area of Karawang Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia. The estimation results are crucial for convincing stakeholders, including the government, that the budget allocated for coastal rehabilitation will provide significant benefits for human well-being and the sustainability of coastal ecosystems. The study employed an economic valuation analysis method, focusing on the three areas most severely affected by coastal erosion in Karawang Regency. The results showed that the total annual economic benefit from mangrove planting as part of coastal rehabilitation in these areas amounted to IDR 4,257,468,324,946. These findings are intended to support efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

9 pages., via online journal., In the last few years, the contribution of the agricultural sector to tourism has been increasingly evident. Agritourism provides the possibility to have a green holiday experience and allows farmers to diversify their income. In the tourist sector, communication is decisive in determining consumption choices, and the Web plays an important role. Considering that the Internet can bring potential benefits and reach new customers, it is important that websites are complete and attractive. This paper evaluates agritourism websites in an Italian region (Sicily) to analyse the strategic choices made by farmers. This study uses the eMICA methodological approach to analyse the quality of the websites and a cluster analysis to find homogeneous groups of farms. The results indicate that there is a large group of Sicilian agritourism providers that have been slow in taking advantage of the new opportunities offered by the Web, whereas another group, which is less numerous, makes use of social networking tools, demonstrating web 2.0 communication.
