Multidimensional Statistical Indicators for the Analysis of Sustainable Tourism

The objective of this work is to have the analysis of the environmental impacts that the tourism sector produces are explored. Often the development of this sector is useful for facilitating growth in less developed areas, but the effects on the environment are not considered. The integrated approach is also essential to study in a new and appropriate way the multidimensionality and complexity of the phenomena of territorial sustainability and tourism. The available data will be analyzed at a provincial level using multivariate statistical methodologies (Totally Fuzzy and Relative Method) and density-based spatial clustering methods (DBSCAN), which allow identifying contiguous areas with high levels of sustainable tourism. These aspects should guide the way for the distribution of resources and investments, as currently not all Italian provinces startfrom the same conditions.
