“…A few studies have examined a collection of news items from the most-read newspapers according to a media audit (Boager;Castro, 2022;Guizi;Breda;Costa, 2020). Following the work of Egio-Rubio and Fernández Toledo (2020) in the Spanish context, this study is based on the significant impact of print newspapers or Kiosko y Más and Orbit measured in terms of daily readers according to the Asociación para la Investigación de Medios de Comunicación (AIMC, Association for Media Research) media audit.…”

“…Recent research has explored how newspapers cover community groups, residents and other actors involved in the conflict of interests due to urban tourism, through content analysis (Table 1). These qualitative and/or quantitative analyses offer insights into the struggles with the touristification phenomenon (Egio-Rubio;Fernández Toledo, 2020;Huízar Sanchéz;López Ramos;Baños Francia, 2020;Mansilla López, 2019) and identify relevant related topics such as: (1) Airbnb (Hassanli;Small;Darcy, 2022;Lehmann et al, 2020;Ozdemir;Turker, 2019); (2) gentrification (Adelman;Balta Ozgen;Rabii, 2019;Gin;Taylor, 2010;Ley;Teo, 2014); (3) overtourism (González-Reverté;Soliguer-Guix, 2022;Guizi;Breda;Costa, 2020;Mínguez;Blanco-Romero;Blázquez-Salom, 2022); (4) urban tourism (Boager;Castro, 2022); (5) tourism phobia (Pérez-García; García Abad, 2018); (6) rooming houses, which provide short-term rentals (Grant;Derksen;Ramos, 2019); and (7) hipsters, whose associated lifestyle has a spatial dimension contributing to the gentrification phenomenon (le Grand, 2020).…”

“…Not only is it important to show which urban areas are reported in the press, but it is also necessary to identify on a map which stakeholders take part in the conflict of interest because of urban tourism. A few research studies list stakeholders by actors' groups such as residents, market agents or tourists, but it is not shown where they operate through their geolocation (Boager;Castro, 2022;Egio-Rubio;Fernández Toledo, 2020;Grant;Derksen;Ramos, 2019;Guizi;Breda;Costa, 2020;Lehmann et al, 2020). From a territorial perspective, few studies have focused on mapping touristification using newspaper-related content and stakeholders.…”

The representation of touristification in media through mapping: the case of Malaga

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The touristification agenda has had considerable representation in the media in recent years because of tourism specialisation in cities. Existing literature has focused on using content analysis; however, previous content analyses have not typically been mapped. The main objectives were to conduct an in-depth measurement of urban tourism issues covered in the press and the stakeholders involved, but spatially. To show the spatial representation of touristification, Malaga is used as a case study as it is an emerging tourist city. The article analyses the content of 166 news items on touristification in Malaga published in the most-read local newspapers up to and including the year 2020. Data categorised were mapped to assign a sum of news articles about touristification issues at neighbourhood level. Density mapping shows a common pattern for each category: an over-representation of the city centre and a reduction in the number of news items per neighbourhood as we move away from the old town. A Pearson correlation coefficient shows a high spatial correlation between neighbourhoods in the press with several citizen initiatives geolocated on them. A spatial analysis shows where the negative impacts of tourism intensification happen, which may serve as a basis for the local administrations to develop an urban policy to safeguard residential use in those neighbourhoods under tourism pressure. This work serves as a basis for new research on touristification: the addition of case studies to identify common urban patterns and the definition of a social conflict index through the geolocation of the stakeholders involved.

“…The intensification of tourism (regardless of the motives of visitors) in certain periods (tourist seasonality, holiday periods, celebrations of important events, etc.) may cause "discomfort", a sense of "overloading", and could even intensify negative feelings during sightseeing [28][29][30]. Therefore, it may be worth discovering and popularizing sites that can potentially be a tourist attractor, especially in the context of shaping the development of religious tourism.…”

This article presents the tourism potential of the Polish–Czech borderlands (Klodzko Land, Lower Silesia, Poland), in which historical sacred sites, namely cemeteries and churches, play a significant role. An analysis of the most important features of sacred sites was carried out to present the diversity of the architectural richness of the region. At the same time, attention was paid to additional elements, such as their visual aspects and their impact on shaping space. The research is based on the sacred sites located on the Polish–Czech borderland. As part of the work, an analysis of historical, natural, and landscape conditions was performed along with the spatial layout of 106 cemeteries. During the field research, inventories of landscape and natural values were carried out. The assessment of landscape value was carried out using an original concept to enable an indication of site’s tourism potential on the basis of visual aspects of its space. The article and the research methods contained within concern interdisciplinary research combining architecture, landscape architecture, socio-economic geography, and tourism.

Understanding Short and Long Mobilities Together: Place Attachment and Community Dynamics in Mouraria, Lisbon

The increase in mobilities over the last decades has facilitated the circulation of people, with short‐ and long‐term mobility practices often intertwining in the same destinations. Alongside migration processes of long‐term mobility to search for better living conditions, short mobility processes, such as touristification, started to significantly shape some cities and their communities in Southern Europe. This study examines place attachments, community and cultural dynamics of ‘migrant’ and ‘local’ residents of Mouraria, a historic and multicultural neighbourhood in Lisbon, and the consequences of touristification on those. Through walking interviews with ‘local’ residents and long‐term ‘migrants’ (n = 20), we concluded that most of the interviewed ‘migrants’ presented a traditional‐active place attachment associated both with proximity to their culture of origin and practices envisioning the well‐being of the neighbourhood's community. Additionally, we found that the essentialisation of Mouraria's community life (‘bairrismo’) was endorsed mainly by ‘local’ residents and associated with a conditional acceptance of new residents, while touristification tended to highlight structural social injustices for both ‘local’ and ‘migrant’ residents. We discuss how the community dynamics created between these different mobility processes contribute to generate multicultural and community practices in both groups of residents.
