Cultural tourism between local and transnational identities
This article focuses on the management of heritage and cultural tourism related to the complex identity of minority groups, where different components tend to produce different visions and practices It highlights the impacts of globalized transnational networks and influences on political, cultural and religious identities and affiliations over long distances. In fact, diverse views, approaches, perceptions and representations may lead to disagre…
Preserving cultural assets of others
Issues arise when trying to understand the motivation of policymakers to preserve the assets of cultures that do not belong to the mainstream population. Tunbridge and Ashworth's seminal study on 'Dissonant Heritage' and Bennett's developmental model of intercultural sensitivity (DMIS model) provide a basis to evaluate both the motivations and the existence of a cultural dissonance. As there is a growing worldwide trend towards preserving and dev…
A heritage site development model
Models referring to tourism product development are rather rare. This paper suggests a model of heritage tourism formation. The model is based on observations made and interviews conducted in three Balkan States and southern Hungary with respect to the formation of Jewish heritage products. Results indicate that the formation of the heritage product follows a structured line of development. This is presented in two phases, an initial phase concer…
Tourist experience at home – Israeli domestic tourism
The Industrial Geography of Israel
Israel's industrial geography is unique. The continuing Arab-Israeli conflict has been a primary force behind government intervention in settlement patterns, and has led to a major effort to disperse industry. The geopolitical situation has also encouraged a policy of attempted self-reliance, especially for defence purposes. These factors, combined with an abundant human capital, have given Israeli high-technology industries a special place in th…
Visitors and Non-visitors to Archaeological Heritage Attractions
The aim of this study is to investigate the distinction between visitors and non-visitors to heritage sites in a comparative manner. Recent studies have shown the advantage of experiential and benefit segmentation of visitors to heritage sites over the more traditional socio-demographic division. This study compares visitors and non-visitors to the heritage sites of Massada and Avedat with respect to their prior tourism experience both at childho…

Spatio-Temporal Trends of Housing and Population Growth During a Building Cycle
This paper argues that the degree of spatio-temporal conformity between housing supply and demand changes in different stages of the building cycle. It is hypothesized that, during the upswing period, population growth reacts quickly to housing construction, and thus spatio-temporal conformity is anticipated. On the contrary, during the downswing period, population growth reacts much more slowly to housing opportunities and therefore spatio-tempo…
Employment Adjustment Trends in Tourism Hotels in Israel
The paper analyses longitudinal trends of employment in the hotel industry in Israel in the years 1984–1995. The data cover two types of changes in the employment: those driven by the regular seasonal variations in demand and those caused by irregular disturbances driven by regional geopolitical events. The distinction between external and internal labour markets is adopted as the conceptual framework. It appears that the accommodation industry i…
Testing the Turning-point Hypothesis in City-size Distribution
City-size distribution provides a tool for an overall inspection of the trends of population concentration or dispersion throughout systems of cities. Changes in city-size distribution have been related to economic development. In this respect, Israel has been identified as an anomalous country wherein population dispersal has supposedly started at a relatively low stage of economic development. This study re-examines city-size distribution in Is…
Macro‐ and microlevel factors related to sense of community
This study examines macro and micro factors influencing the development of sense of community (Davidson & Cotter, 1980) in two different populations (immigrants and veterans) in new temporary neighborhoods in Israel. At the macrolevel, the major factors examined were population size, population density, number of dwelling units in the site, urbanity of the area, ethnic heterogeneity, and peripheriality of the region. Three kinds of variables were…

Interactions Between Spread-and-Backwash, Population Turnaround and Corridor Effects in the Inter-Metropolitan Periphery
Three recurrent concepts in urban geography are examined in a single area within a portion of the inter-metropolitan periphery, primarily for the 1960-1980 period. This local-scale study attempts to replicate several findings of studies involving larger units dispersed over wider regions. In this portion of the inter-metropolitan periphery, spread-and-backwash was evident in the 1960s, followed by the population turnaround in the 1970s but only w…

Directionally Biased Metropolitan Growth
Many contemporary models of metropolitan growth rely upon radial symmetry assumptions that have remained largely untested. The trigonometric expansions discussed in this paper can be used to test for radial symmetry and to produce mathematical portraits of directionally biased metropolitan growth. These expansions were applied to investigating the growth patterns of the hinterland of Columbus, Ohio, between 1940 and 1980. Our analyses revealed cl…

Cluster of Cities versus City Region in Regional Planning
In this study the hypothesis, that patterns of spatial centralization and decentralization vary between single-centered urban regions and regions characterized by clusters of cities, is examined. The hypothesis is tested by comparing the dispersion of growth of employment in retail trade in the Philadelphia urban field with that in the area covered by the North Carolina Piedmont dispersed city. The results obtained by using a distance-temporal re…
Multi-sectoral urban growth in space and time
Kellerman A. and Krakover S. (1986) Multi-sectoral urban growth in space and time: an empirical approach, Reg. Studies 20, 117–129. Studies of urban growth may be pursued along contextual and compositional lines, concentrating on one or several sectors. This paper compares the distribution of growth of several economic sectors in an attempt to trace and analyse their spatiotemporal sequence of decentralization. The paper applies a polynomial regr…
Spatio-Temporal Structure of Population Growth in Urban Regions
Despite the growing awareness of the urban field as an urban entity extending beyond metropolitan area boundaries, the research on its internal spatial structure is still scarce. This study aims for a description of the spatio-temporal structure of population growth in the urban regions of Tel-Aviv and Haifa. The spatio-temporal trends of population growth in these regions are traced and analysed by the application of a multi-variate regression m…
Trends of Spatial Reorganization of Growth in Urban Fields in the Eastern United States, 1962-1978
The aim of this study is to formulate a model of the spatial reorganization of growth in urban fields. The model is based on a synthesis of factors associated with the intrametropolitan location theory, the central place theory, and the core-periphery conceptualization. The model constructed provides a means of measuring spread and backwash trends related to the spatial reorganization of growth. Data on employment in the retail trade are applied …
