Social representations and community attitudes towards spring breakers
Social representations theory has been adopted for explaining tourism impacts and local attitudes. However, its usefulness in segmenting local population in terms of their attitudes towards specific types of tourists has not been tested. This study identifies the attitudes of local people towards spring break, a North American young tourist phenomenon in the context of the Mexican beach resort of Acapulco. Although residents perceive an increase in alcohol consumption, drug use, noise and litter during the spring break season, they largely recognise economic benefits and are thus generally supportive for the phenomenon. Based on these attitudes, three clusters were identified: spring break supporters (identified by their high appreciation of spring break benefits), ambivalents (who are uncertain about both benefits and costs) and realistics (characterised by recognising both benefits and costs). The main contribution of this study lies in the confirmation of the usefulness of social representations theory in explaining residents’ attitudes towards a very specific type of tourists whose hedonist behaviours are a common characteristic

A Dignified Standard of Living in Mexico: Results of a Pilot Study of the Minimum Income Standard Approach

living standards could be helpful in providing new ways of understanding living
standards in Mexico. A pilot study formulating a ‘‘Minimum Income Standard’’, carried
out in the country in 2016, asked members of Mexican society what they consider to be
necessary to achieve a dignified standard of living in urban Mexico today. Participants
discussed the meaning of a dignified standard of living and translated such definition into
concrete items in a hypothetical living room and in leisure time. Our study reveals that
social participation, security, and employment are seen as important elements to live a
dignified standard of living, which permeate the rationale for identifying the goods and
services seen as needed to achieve a dignified living standard. The definition of a dignified
standard of living could usefully inform and contribute to the ongoing debate on wage
adequacy in the country
