Entwicklungslinien und Perspektiven der New Urban Tourism-Forschung

Stadttourismus und städtischer Alltag prägen einander vielfältig, bisweilen auf regelrecht konstitutive Art und Weise. Es scheint offensichtlich, dass Tourismus im Alltag einer Stadtbevölkerung in vielerlei Form präsent werden kann. Gleichwohl hält sich die tradierte Vorstellung von Stadt als Destination, welche einerseits von Bewohner*innen bewohnt und andererseits von Besucher*innen besucht wird. Daher gilt es nach wie vor zu versuchen, (Stadt-)Tourismus weniger isoliert und stärker als integriertes Momentum des Städtischen zu denken. Der vorliegende Beitrag widmet sich dieser engen Verflechtung von Stadt und Tourismus und zielt darauf, ihre vielfältigen Wechselwirkungen analytisch zu fassen. Dazu werden zunächst vier empirische Beobachtungen aufgespannt, die den Kontext der New Urban Tourism-Forschung thesenartig illustrieren. Daran anschließend erfolgt ein Abriss konzeptioneller Anknüpfungspunkte, welche die New Urban Tourism-Forschung informieren. Diese theoretischen Bezüge bilden gleichzeitig die Grundlage für die folgenden drei analytischen Dimensionen, die wir als Vorschläge zur Systematisierung der Forschungsstrecke verstehen: (1) Faszination für das Alltägliche, (2) Begegnungen und Erschließung neuer Orte des Zusammentreffens und (3) Ko-Produktion des Städtischen. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer kritischen Reflexion der Grenzen der aktuellen New Urban Tourism-Forschung sowie mit einigen Überlegungen zu zukünftigen Arbeitsfeldern

Mobility in a Globalised World 2016

The term mobility has different meanings in the following science disciplines. In economics, mobility is the ability of an individual or a group to improve their economic status in relation to income and wealth within their lifetime or between generations. In information systems and computer science, mobility is used for the concept of mobile computing, in which a computer is transported by a person during normal use. Logistics creates by the design of logistics networks the infrastructure for the mobility of people and goods. Electric mobility is one of today’s solutions from engineering perspective to reduce the need of energy resources and environmental impact. Moreover, for urban planning, mobility is the crunch question about how to optimise the different needs for mobility and how to link different transportation systems. In this publication we collected the ideas of practitioners, researchers, and government officials regarding the different modes of mobility in a globalised world, focusing on both domestic and international issues

Key factors for successful leisure and tourism public transport provision

In the second half of the 20th century, the main focus of transport policy and transport studies was on the reduction of the use of motorised, individual transport, in particular with regard to daily commuter traffic. The main concepts concentrated on creating an attractive public transport supply and, where possible, improving the infrastructure for non-motorized traffic in order to open up alternative forms of travel. Although these concepts produced noticeable effects on everyday travel, they could not cope with steadily rising problems in the field of leisure traffic. Therefore, primarily supply oriented, autocratic desktop transport policies cannot be seen as a promising approach within the leisure context. Consequently, the article focuses on the necessary key factors for successful leisure and tourism public transport provision. It stresses the need for rethinking transport policy by choosing a demand oriented approach and realising the importance of additional accompanying efforts in the areas of marketing, transparency and quality. Focusing on the demand side, with its individual attitudes and preferences, leads to a new understanding of traffic planning by adopting a bottom up, rather than a top down approach

Mobility management outside metropolitan areas: case study evidence from North Rhine-Westphalia

In recent years ‘mobility management’—a means of promoting modal shift and alternatives to the journey—has gained importance in continental Europe. Especially in metropolitan areas this approach is seen as a way of improving the effectiveness of traffic system management measures. This paper outlines some key options and constraints of transferring mobility management to rural regions, drawing on evidence gathered from a research and demonstration project currently underway in rural regions of North Rhine-Westphalia. Basic conditions for implementing mobility management in rural regions as well as preliminary findings are presented
