“…Today the island is owned by Marriott International, which has also decided to erase the memory of the island's origins by renaming it Isola delle Rose. 12 Not unexpectedly, these processes are met with social conflict and are countered by a growing number of socio-environmental activist collectives and initiatives that make use of established tactics of political mobilisation and citizen participation, and new, creative, site-specific modes of resistance to the deterioration of the lagoon environment and the impoverishment of the urban experience (Vianello 2016). Like other communities currently fighting against extractive injustice worldwide, Venetian activists also demand "other ways of building society and inhabiting the world" (Svampa 2019, 4) while dismantling the narratives spread by the government and economic stakeholders according to whom the cruise industry's presence in the city is financially beneficial for all.…”

The heat is on. On September 21, 2021, the CMCC Foundation (Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change), has released an important report, Analisi del Rischio. I cambiamenti climatici in sei città italiane (Risk Analysis. Climate Change in Six Italian Cities). Providing "the first integrated analysis of climate risk in Italy", the scientists working at the Center envision a very disquieting -and yet highly realistic -picture of the future for the most iconic Italian cities. Heatwaves will make life in Rome and Milan very hard, and Naples will be almost an appendix of Africa, in terms of temperatures and desertification. Bologna and Turin, situated in two of the most problematic sites of the peninsula in terms of pollution, will suffocate with smog and hot temperatures. The CMCC report follows another crucial document: the IPCC Working Group's report, Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis, approved on August 6 by 195 member governments of the IPCC. As strongly as ever, the report confirms that climate change is a not a mere weather forecast for an undefined future: it is a reality, which is "already affecting every region on Earth". And it is increasing, with scenarios that include heatwaves, longer warm seasons and shorter cold seasons (+ 1.5 °C) or, worst, heat ex-

The annoyance presented by the residents in the historic centre of Malaga, due to the impact of tourism is analysed. The study area is affected by a declining population and problems presented by residents in intense tourism spaces. The existence of tourism-phobia and the elements involved in it are examined. To this end, a specific questionnaire was produced about tourism-phobia, 378 surveys were distributed and completed and 10 semi-structured interviews were carried out with residents. Likewise, a thematic map was created, spatially identifying the main problems relating to the nuisances to residents. This research is the first study that analyses tourism-phobia by using statistically reliable samples. The results show the existence of a group of residents who are quite annoyed (17.5 %) that can be classified as tourism-phobic and a group that is not very annoyed at all (22.2 %) that could be classed as tourism-philic. There are sociodemographic variables that are essential to interpreting these attitudes, such as the cases of the level of education and place of residence. The spatial distribution of the perceptions of the annoyance caused by tourism is uneven in the historic centre of Malaga.

Miasta dziedzictwa kulturowego UNESCO należą do wiodących destynacji turystycznych na świecie. Kraków jest jednym z przykładów tego typu miast. Celem podjętych badań było poznanie postrzegania wzrostu ruchu turystycznego w Krakowie przez mieszkańców i usługodawców turystycznych oraz ustalenie ich postaw wobec zachowań turystów. Przeprowadzono badania ankietowe z mieszkańcami (677) i wywiady z usługodawcami turystycznymi (50). Mieszkańcy i usługodawcy turystyczni dostrzegają zarówno pozytywny, jak i negatywny wpływ turystyki na rozwój miasta. Do pozytywnych skutków zaliczono: większe możliwości zatrudnienia, wzrost dochodów oraz rozwój infrastruktury transportu miejskiego. Natomiast odnotowano różnice w ocenie rozwoju bazy noclegowej oraz wpływu turystyki na procesy społeczne. Mieszkańcy jako negatywne skutki intensywnego ruchu turystycznego wskazali: nadmiar turystów, wzrost liczby lokali rozrywkowych (np. kluby nocne), zmiany w użytkowaniu budynków historycznych (hotele, puby). Intensywne promowanie turystyki rozrywkowej w Krakowie zdaniem mieszkańców sprzyja wzrostowi niepożądanych zachowań turystów (np. pijaństwo, zakłócenia porządku publicznego, udział w seksturystyce). Wyodrębniono trzy kategorie postaw mieszkańców względem zachowań turystów oraz wyróżniono dysfunkcje turystyczne o charakterze uniwersalnym i charakterystyczne dla Krakowa, a także ich uwarunkowania.
