Pratiques touristiques dans la métropole parisienne : une analyse des mouvements intra-urbains

Simon, Gwendal 29 November 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Alors que le tourisme urbain est aujourd'hui est un phénomène dont les dynamiques sont largement étudiées et que ses flux sont considérables dans certaines destinations, on sait paradoxalement assez peu de choses sur ce que font précisément les touristes dans les métropoles. Même dans une ville mondialement médiatisée comme Paris, les pratiques urbaines et les combinaisons d'activités des touristes dans le temps et l'espace sont peu connues. Cette recherche, qui se base sur une méthodologie qualitative d'entretiens semi-directifs avec des touristes étrangers, est conduite en deux temps. Le premier temps pose le projet de voyage qui guide les touristes comme cadre d'analyse de leurs pratiques urbaines. Deux types de projets touristiques sont analysés, différenciés selon les relations qu'ils entretiennent avec les pratiques dominantes et les médiations de la sphère du tourisme dans la métropole parisienne (le tourisme autonome et économe du backpacking versus le tourisme encadré et organisé d'un tour-opérateur). Le second temps confronte cette analyse à la force de l'empirie. Trois enseignements généraux sont tirés : d'abord, les configurations de voyage a priori différentes résistent mal aux polarisations symboliques et spatiales de l'espace parisien ; ensuite, la durée et/ou le nombre de voyage participent à spécialiser les pratiques de la ville ; enfin, c'est le rôle des mobilités " adhérentes " et des espaces publics comme opérateurs d'urbanité et agents actifs de la découverte du territoire visité

Woman Into The Wild: Female Thru-Hikers and Pilgrimage on the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trails

Bosche, Lucy L 01 April 2013 (has links)
This thesis follows solo women hikers as they embark upon walking either the Pacific Crest Trail or the Appalachian Trail from beginning to end. By witnessing the ways in which the women hikers navigate the counter-culture of the trails, a critique of American society is revealed. This paper focuses on the differences between trail culture and normative culture, the transformations the hikers undergo, and how the hikes have affected the women’s lives.

Backpacking in Ecuador : Identity, Travel style and motivation

Bernstein, Juliane January 2009 (has links)
The thesis discusses the backpacking culture in Ecuador. It proposes a clarification of the issue and discusses the problem from two perspectives. Questions are raised about the backpacking identity, the backpacking travel style and how they use given facilities in the host country. The work focuses and analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the destination through the lens of a backpacker. The empirical material is taken from intensive interviews conducted in Ecuador. A discussion reviews the backpacking identity, how and why backpackers travel; and the backpacker’s opinion about sustainable tourism in South America. In addition, the thesis concentrates on the travellers’ finances and how they prepare for an extended journey.

Backpacker Institutionalization : Towards an Experience-Based Typology

Wallstam, Martin January 2011 (has links)
Backpacking is becoming an increasingly commonplace rite of passage for today’s independent travellers. So much so that it is not only a small niche segment anymore but is turning into  a sizeable market for some destinations. Backpackers seem to lead the way into unexploited regions,subsequently opening the door for other forms of tourism. In effect, the normalization ofbackpacking brings with it questions of sustainability. This thesis sets out to explore the transition of tourism segments in destinations, particularly that of backpackers into the mainstream. It does so through a participant-observer data collection in the Philippines. The material is then analysed by grounded theory and presented in an ethnography format through a thematic review. A typological framework is the product, which brings an experience perspective to existing classification systems. Findings suggest that there are indeed nuances within the seemingly homogenous backpacker segment and that a continuous change of visitor profiles within destinations seems likely. Institutionalized backpacking turns out to be the missing link that accounts for the change from purism to mass tourism. Future explorative research is then advised, to find relationships between visitor types and to construe concrete suggestions for likely causes to the observed categorical transitions.

從體驗行銷觀點看台灣背包客異國旅行經驗 / A study on the outbound experiences of Taiwanese backpackers —from the perspective of experiential marketing

洪佳琳, Hung, Chia Lin Unknown Date (has links)
無 / Backpacker is an emerging new market niche in current International tourism market. It’s important to understand backpackers’ touring experiences with specific national identity to benefit global destination experience providers. Therefore, metaphors concerning backpacking experiences are projected first. Second, from the perspective of experiential marketing, this study is attempted to analyze Taiwanese backpackers’ outbound traveling experience elements which engage sense, feel, think, act, and relate experiences for creating unique and lasting memories, by examining direct influential factors. Then, according to their satisfaction statements, their perspectives about overall on-tour experiences are concluded. This study adopts quasi-netnography methodology, alone with event-based narrative inquiry technique, to analyze 37 Taiwanese backpackers’ online narratives on backpackers.com.tw. The metaphors, direct influential factors (personnel, other tourist, product/souvenir, and physical environment) on five experience modules (sense, feel, act, think, and relate), and satisfaction (overall evaluation, recommendation, and willing of revisit) are examined. And, the reliability check achieves significance level. The results show that five metaphors can be seen as bases for designing unforgettable backpacking experiences. And, aside from direct influences, there are also other three indirect influences (media, cultural status, and resource constraint). Further, “people” and “environment” factors influence Taiwanese backpackers’ on-tour experiences most. Next, their experiences encompass multi-sensory experiences, engaged/involved emotions, personal cognitive development, social relationship building, and personal fulfillment. Finally, the finding regarding satisfaction can be used as a management tool to enhance the overall experience. Thus, this study sheds light on offering practical insights to International tourism industry.

Le paradoxe du backpacking chez les jeunes Québécois : entre individualisation et connexion

de L'Etoile, Olivier 12 1900 (has links)
L’ouverture au monde est de rigueur chez les jeunes d’aujourd’hui au Québec comme ailleurs. Membres d’office de la génération Y, les jeunes sont d’emblée familiers avec les « nouvelles technologies ». En effet, les moyens numériques et les réseaux sociaux n’ont plus de secrets pour eux et leur permettent de nouer contact à l’échelle de la planète. Il devient dès lors tentant de partir à l’aventure, sac au dos, afin de se conformer à l’ouverture au monde vue comme une qualité. Le présent mémoire de maîtrise envisage le backpacking, c’est-à-dire la façon de voyager qui a actuellement la cote chez les jeunes, en particulier les étudiants, en mettant un sac sur son dos et en partant à l’aventure afin de pouvoir enrichir les qualités qu’ils reconnaissent à leur propre personne. En effet, quitter son épicentre social, souvent seul, en « voyageant léger » dans des contrées étrangères contribue à la capacité d’agir de son propre chef et d’être soi-même, en acquérant des qualités susceptibles de mettre en exergue leur individualité. La tendance se conçoit en théorie à la lumière des thèses sur l’individualisation présentes en sociologie et qui, ici, seront considérées avec nuances. L’analyse mise en œuvre s’appuie sur des entrevues semi-directives recueillies de la bouche de backpackers jugés représentatifs de cette inclination à mettre sa routine quotidienne entre parenthèses afin de vouloir agir par soi-même. Or, l’étude produite dans les pages du mémoire révèle que, à leur niveau, ils voyagent librement, mais en ayant en main téléphone intelligent ou portable grâce auquel ils restent constamment connectés avec leur épicentre social, leurs parents et amis, qui ce faisant exerce un pouvoir d’inflexion sur leur périple et sur leurs agissements à l’étranger. Comment expliquer ce paradoxe? Voyager sac au dos dans l’intention d’agir par soi-même, mais être continuellement sujet au regard des autres, lesquels peuvent gouverner à certains égards la marge de manœuvre propice à l’individualisation qui a valeur de qualité. Voilà ce que cherche à expliquer ce mémoire. / Being open to the world is trending with today’s youth in Quebec and elsewhere. Members of the Generation Y, young people are already familiar with "new technologies". Indeed, the digital ways and the social media networks have no secret for them, and allow them to keep in touch on a worldwide scale. It then becomes tempting to leave on an adventure, a bag on their back, to conform to the view of being open to the world as a quality. The present Master’s thesis considers the notion of backpacking, namely a trending way of travelling by young people, in particular students, by putting a bag on their back and leaving on a journey to enrich their qualities as individuals. Indeed, leaving their social epicenter, often alone, while traveling "light" in foreign parts of the world contributes to their capacity to act on their own initiative and acquiring qualities susceptible to highlight their individuality. This trend is theoretically designed in the light of theses about individualization present in sociology and which, here, will be considered with nuances. The current analysis leans on semi-directive interviews from backpackers considered representative of this inclination to put their daily routine on hold in order to act by themselves. The study produced in the pages of this report reveals that, at their level, they travel freely, while keeping a smart phone or a portable device which they constantly remain connected to their social epicenter, their parents and friends. In doing so, the devices exercise a power of inflection on their trip and on their actions abroad. How do we explain this paradox? Backpacking with the intention to act on their own, but constantly be subjected to others opinions, which in turn can in some respects govern the control facilitating individualization at its quality value. That is what the Master’s thesis tries to explain.

En global värld : en global människa?

Bredberg, Emma, Holm, Kajsa, Lönnberg, Malin, Svensson, Emma January 2005 (has links)
<p>Resande, globalt engagemang och arbete utomlands av olika former är företeelser som förändrar människors syn på världen. Dessa tillhör samtiden och de blir därmed aktuella och relevanta att diskutera. Att vi lever i en global värld påverkar våra livsvillkor och innebär i sin tur nya möjligheter och förutsättningar för individen. Begrepp som är centrala att diskutera blir därmed livsstil, engagemang, svenskhet och världsmedborgarskap.</p>

Lost Tramps & Cherry Tigers

Bender, John Brett 23 July 2009 (has links)
These seven stories chronicle the author's apprenticeship as a fiction writer. Four are written in the first-person point of view, two are in a limited third-person, and one is written in third-person objective. The stories vary considerably with respect to character, tone, and setting; however, all may be said to explore the abjection and isolation of growing up in United States.
