“…The methodological basis of the study is the analysis of street art as a cultural phenomenon (Gastman, Neelon, 2011;Havrylash, 2018;Miro, 2018, etc. ), the study of the development of street art and murals in some settlements and states (Chang, 2020;Guinard, Margier, 2018;Astafev, Gusak, Sargsian, 2017;Andron 2018;Park, Kavacs 2020;Rarely, Herasko 2016;Romaniv, Rybachok, Savelyeva, 2019;Molnar 2018). This study was also based on previous research (Olishevska, 2020) and the study of the implementation of conceptual resources of the urban environment in tourism practices (Hakeem, Khan 2018, Malska, Hatalyak, 2018Hladkyi, Skliarov, 2017, Smyrnov 2016.…”

Today there is a significant demand for unique tourist resources, new interesting routes that meet the cognitive interests and daily tourist practices of the urban population. The objects of street art are distinguished by the fact that due to their strong artistic content, they are able to arouse interest and inspire reflection on socially important issues and problems of today and meet the demand of tourists both within organized tours and amateur tourism. The object of research is conceptual tourist resources or street art objects of Kyiv. The main focus is on such types of resources as murals and minimalist sculptures, which are cultural symbols of the capital. The purpose of this research is to carry out a spatial analysis of street art objects and to develop excursion art routes on the basis of the obtained results of the distribution of street art resources by administrative territorial formations of the city. The main problem was to find the possibility of breeding tourist flows to ensure the rational use of available resources of street art and reduce the tourist load on the open public spaces of the capital, which are traditionally areas of greatest concentration of vacationers. A sociological survey of three age categories (18–25 years, 26–35 years, over 36 years) showed that 76.7 % of respondents consider murals to be the decoration of the capital, and 88 % of the total number noted the importance of the external design of murals. Under the conditions of choosing the subject of wall painting for wall decoration in the area of residence, 51 % of respondents preferred social subjects, 20 % – environmental and 17 % portraits of famous people. Almost 84 % of respondents expressed interest in receiving extended information about modern art objects, with subsequent participation in the tour, of which the greatest interest was formed in the age group of 18–25 years. As a result of the spatial analysis of the street art resources of the Kyiv districts, it was established that as of July 2021, more than 200 street art objects have been created in Kyiv. The largest number of them locates in Shevchenkivskyi district – 64, and the smallest number – 4 in Desnianskyi district. Tourist interest, in the context of the tourist potential of street art, is formed by mini-sculptures created within the project “Search”, reflecting the cultural symbols of the capital. For pedestrian routes, based on the results of spatial analysis, Podilsky and Darnytskyi districts were chosen as representative areas, which allows to diversify tourist flows within the city. The proposed study was not limited to the size of the murals, which allowed to include in the analysis murals created both on residential buildings and on high concrete fences, on the walls of educational institutions, if they had a certain cognitive component. This allowed to expand the possibilities of involving street art objects in excursion routes in certain districts of Kyiv. The route in Podilskyi district includes 13 street art objects, including 9 murals and 4 mini sculptures. The route through the Darnytskyi district of the capital includes 15 murals, which are considered to be the most monumental murals in the city of Kyiv. The developed routes allow to get acquainted with the monumental street art executed in various techniques and devoted to various subjects.

“…Recognized as a quick way to improve the economy of cities and other destinations, tourism has been on the political agenda of most decision-makers, as some argue that this sector "provides both direct and indirect effects to the economy, in terms of income, employment, and infrastructure, among others" [27]. However, some local agents, activists, and scientists claim that a growing number of destinations, such as cities but also naturebased destinations, are being negatively affected by tourism [28,29], especially because the affluence of tourists is higher in number than what the respective destination is able to cope with [30].…”

Retail is one of the defining elements of urban spaces. The study of commerce is largely based on its evolution and how it relates with urban environments. Currently, with the advent of mass tourism, there has been an adjustment in the commercial fabric of the area’s most sought after by tourists. Among these latter areas, the historical centers of commerce stand out. The first objective of this research is to analyze the modern evolution of the commercial fabric of Lisbon by comparing the city center with the rest of the city. For this goal, I use a quantitative approach through the quotient location for specific retail typologies. The results show dissimilarities that are associated with the geographical location of retail, which vary according to the different retail typologies being analyzed. The second goal is based on the assumption that the mere analysis of the evolution of the retail typologies is limited in the context of tourist cities. Considering this matter, a qualitative method (photo analysis, conceptually supported by the concept of authenticity) is used. The results show the usefulness of the concept of authenticity to apprehend and discuss how retail is reacting to the tourism industry, thereby contributing to the transformation of the city center into a leisure and entertainment destination.

“…In fact, such resistance is a form of emotional response from local residents toward tourism and tourists (Gossling et al , 2020). Another example of active response can be seen in the case of Ihwa Village, Seoul (Park and Kovacs, 2020). Known as a “mural community,” its residents became tired of tourism and, in their frustration, they vandalized and removed famous murals in their village.…”

Purpose This paper aims to unpack personal narratives of local residents in relation to the effects of overtourism in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The paper uses Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus to understand how local residents cope with temporal overtourism. Design/methodology/approach Findings were gathered from observations and interviews. Interviews were conducted with 12 informants, consisting of local small-to-medium enterprise tourism entrepreneurs, local informal tourism workers and a group of locals uninvolved in tourism. Findings The paper has two key findings. First, locals uninvolved in tourism show empathetic behavior toward the locals involved in tourism despite their experiencing negative effects of tourism. The involved locals, for their part, were aware of the importance of resolving issues with the uninvolved locals through regular communication so as to secure the sustained future of tourism. Second, the use of social capital by involved and uninvolved locals reflects the local Javanese culture and value system in which social harmony and integration are paramount. Research limitations/implications Local habitus forms and informs locals’ perceptions on temporal overtourism issues. It enables an understanding on how locals manage the effects of overtourism in Yogyakarta. The habitus, which is greatly influenced by Javanese values, creates attitudes and behaviors which are empathetic and tolerant. Practical implications To avoid the potential conflict when overtourism explicitly or implicitly frustrates locals, policy should be formulated by taking into account the findings of this paper on the local habitus. The study contributes to the overtourism debate by looking at the inter-relationship of local social structures and cultural context with local responses to temporal overtourism. Originality/value Using the concept of habitus, this research deepens existing understanding on the local responses toward overtourism. This research expects to theoretically enrich and complexify debates on tourism–habitus nexus in tourism studies.
