Deciding when and why to employ photogrammetry in architectural surveying depends on the specific objectives of the project, the available resources, and the expertise of the surveyors involved. This handbook aims to assist in such decision-making by providing practical guidance. In practice, photogrammetry is most effective when used in combination with classical surveying techniques, either as a preliminary data-capturing phase or as part of a hybrid approach to create a comprehensive and detailed representation of a building.
Career development and turnover in the Hospitality Industry: Portraying job moves and career trajectories
2025-04-30 - Durão, Marília; Costa, Carlos; Carneiro, Maria João; Segovia-Pérez, Mónica
Retaining valuable and qualified employees has become increasingly challenging in light of labour shortages, workforce demographic shifts and modern career concepts based on increased mobility and short-term transactional relationships between the employer and the employee. The concept of career is central in human resources management. However, it is a poorly studied phenomenon in tourism and hospitality, as there is still little information on how jobs develop into careers. This chapter provides insights into career development and turnover in the dynamic tourism and hospitality industry and explores this industry’s career trajectories and job changes. Career trajectories are analysed in the light of contemporary career perspectives, such as protean and boundaryless careers, and factors contributing to voluntary turnover are examined, highlighting the locus of initiative and motives for job and career moves. Challenges of turnover management and the need for structured career opportunities in the tourism and hospitality industry are addressed.

2025-04-30 - Durão, Marília; Veríssimo, Medéia; Quintela, Joana; Marques, Jorge
Human capital is a prolific research topic in tourism and hospitality, given its decisive role in this industry’s competitiveness, sustainable growth and development. This chapter contributes to the current theoretical understanding of human capital in the tourism and hospitality field through thematic knowledge mapping. This study adopts a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer software to examine 451 studies published from 2008 to 2023, retrieved from the Scopus database. Emerging themes, leading authors and academic institutions were mapped using co-citation and keyword co-occurrence analyses. Five clusters were identified within the human capital research landscape, including business outcomes, economic growth, tourism development, models of human capital development and technology. The results show that human capital research in hospitality and tourism has gained momentum in recent years and is expanding.
