Tourism planning as a social practice in times of change and uncertainty: Views from a troubled Latin American country
Tourism planning is seen as a ‘steering wheel’ to leverage growth, development or economic transitions during times of adversity and rapid change. Given the limited capacities within the public sector, consultants play a crucial role in tourism planning efforts in Ecuador. Drawing from practice theory and tourism planning research, we examined tourism planning practices among 46 consultants contracted by public institutions between 2017 and 2021.…
Revisiting city tourism in the longer run: An exploratory analysis based on LBSN data
This study addresses the methodological gap in tourism research regarding the long-term monitoring of tourism activities in urban settings. We propose an analytical framework that uses data from location-based social networks (LBSN) to derive tourists’ digital footprints resulting in a sustained, yet partial, overview of tourist activity and mobility in urban destinations. Significantly, we found that LBSN data might signal changes in the geograp…
Singular times and multiple temporalities of the future in tourism planning
Multitemporal Analysis of Land Use and Land Cover within an Oil Block in the Ecuadorian Amazon
The Ecuadorian Amazon is considered a biodiverse region, and at the same time contains the largest number of oil blocks and oilfields in the country. Oil exploitation requires the implementation of oil facilities and related infrastructure, such as roads, water, and energy supply, for operation. These large engineering works can alter the dynamics of the Amazonian natural ecosystems. This paper analyzes the land use and land cover (LULC) change a…
The three levels of the urban digital divide: Bridging issues of coverage, usage and its outcomes in VGI platforms
This article aims to provide a more detailed conception of the production of urban digital divides by VGI platforms in the context of the platform economy, through the articulation of the first (access and coverage), second (usage and skills) and third (outcomes) level of the digital divide. Our conceptual approach departs from a discussion of the geographical consequences of the different levels of the digital divide, focusing on their applicati…
