Despite the growing evidence of digital nomads flowing into GIAHS destinations, a significant and specific research deficit persists: there is a pronounced lack of systematic, empirical studies that explicitly connect the unique attributes of GIAHS to the specific needs, preferences, and impacts of the digital nomad demographic. This study pioneers the Digital Nomad-Friendliness (DNF) Index, a novel, stakeholder-driven, multi-criteria decision analysis framework specifically designed to bridge this gap. This research seeks to evaluate how well agricultural heritages satisfy to the needs of digital nomads on a global scale, trying to find co-beneficial, sustainable pathway between them. By employing evaluation systematic indicators specifically tailored to 86 GIAHS destinations, the key variables for digital nomads’ choices on GIAHS destination are weighted and integrated into the DNF index, grounded in the combination of subjective and objective method.
