Geographical patterns in the tourist city: GIS for spatiotemporal analysis

Abstract:

Understanding how tourists use space in urban environments has practical applications in destination management and planning. It reveals key issues for organizing facilities and essential services, creating new products, impact management, and other purposes related to urban tourism. The geotagged photos shared by Panoramio users, during their visit to the city of Lisbon between 2007 and 2014, allow the authors to incorporate into this chapter a quantitative and geographic reading on the tourist consumption of spaces within the city. In this chapter, they analyze the spatial distribution of tourists and its changes across time considering a period of 8 years. Furthermore, a regression analysis method was carried out in order to find the spatial relations between the observed pattern (geographical agglomeration of tourist's photos) and a set of 24 selected independent variables.
