Depuis la Renaissance, l'Europe développe une perception globale du monde, en exerçant sur celui-ci un mouvement d'expansion et d'intégration. La venue de voyageurs et explorateurs français au Brésil dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle s'inscrit dans ce mouvement, autour duquel s'est façonné le concept de civilisation. Celui-ci apparaît lié à un rapport spécifique à l'espace et au temps, que les élites brésiliennes reprennent à leur compte, soucieuses de gagner la reconnaissance d'une appartenance au monde civilisé. A ce ‘chemin de la civilisation’ répond celui que prônent les voyageurs français pour la transformation des Indiens et des espaces sauvages brésiliens. Leurs expériences diverses se rejoignent dans la rencontre d'une altérité, perçue à travers le prisme d'un progrès de l'humanité. En décrivant les Indiens, les Français contribuent au recensement de la diversité humaine, tout en cherchant à la réduire. La nécessaire utilité des hommes et des terres pour l'ensemble de l'humanité teinte les écrits des voyageurs, qui les observent pour définir les modalités de leur transformation. L'universalité supposée du modèle de la civilisation fait écho à l'échelle universelle sur laquelle elle a construit sa vision du monde. Retracer le chemin de la civilisation, c'est dessiner en creux la possibilité d'autres conceptions du monde, fondées sur une appréhension différente de la réalité. C'est aussi s'interroger sur les prolongements actuels des valeurs de la civilisation occidentale du XIXe siècle. Si le regard porté aujourd'hui sur les Indiens se différencie de celui des voyageurs du passé, il est pourtant possible d'y déceler la marque d'une même structure héritée / Renaissance Europe saw the beginnings of a wider view of the world. This new, global perspective underlay the European projects of expansion and integration. The arrival of French explorers and travelers in Brazil in the second half of the 19th century was shaped by this movement , that shaped the very concept of civilization. This concept was rooted in a specific report to time and space, and the Brazilian elites, intent on being considered part of the civilized world, bought into it. To this ‘way of civilization’ responded the way advocated by French travelers for the transformation of the Indians and the Brazilian wilderness. Their encounters with the Other, while varied, were always interpreted in the prevailing terms of human progress. Describing the Indians, the French were adding to the understanding of the diversity of human societies, even while they sought at the same time to reduce it. The travelers made observations about the natives and their lands, and they considered how they might be refashioned and made more useful to humanity. The supposed universality of this model of civilization echoes the universal scale on which its vision of the world was based. Taking another look at the ‘way of civilization’ can let space for others conceptions of the world, based on different perceptions of reality. It makes wonder about those values of western civilization of the 19th century and their present outcomes. The look at Indians is not the same today than in the past, but, it's possible to detect in it the trace of a similar inherited structure

Thesis (DTech (Tourism and Hospitality Management)--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / Over the last two decades, academic literature, various market research studies, and media reports have widely contributed to the belief that the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) market, and more specifically the gay male sub-segment, display favourable characteristics for the tourism industry. As recently as 2017, gay travel was regarded as one of the fastest-growing markets in the international travel industry. It is thus clear that the importance of this market, whether accurate or not, has been well documented over the years and is well known by the tourism industry; however, despite an increasing trend where tourism destinations promote themselves as ‘gay friendly’ in an attempt to attract gay (homosexual) travellers, a segment of the LGBT travel market, these travellers are perceived to be a homogeneous market segment or a niche market as a result of the assumption that gay men and women lead similar lifestyles and because they are homosexual, indicating that sexual orientation is used as the principal distinguishing characteristic of this population. This assumption is problematic and rather simplistic as it conceals many other important variables, and may hinder effective destination marketing. In order to correctly harness the existing potential within this segment, there is a need to overcome the challenge of correctly understanding and adapting the tourism offering to the preferences and needs of gay travellers; hence this research aimed to develop a typology of gay leisure travellers, by segmenting gay travellers into homogeneous sub-segments in an attempt to contribute to the gap in literature regarding this market’s heterogeneity. A web-based electronic survey was completed by 506 gay travellers, and attribute-based benefit segmentation was carried out by applying a hierarchical cluster analysis using Ward’s procedure with Euclidean distances. The typology is based on the push and pull framework; the motivations of travellers were assessed both in terms of their socio-psychological motivations and destination attributes of Cape Town. A number of conclusions can be drawn from the suggested typology of gay leisure travellers. First, the typology suggests four unique gay travel sub-segments ranging from Passive Relaxers on the one end to Wildlife Explorers, Culinary Enthusiasts/Foodies and Gay-Centric Travellers on the extreme end, which empirically proves that gay travellers are not homogeneous as there are sub-segments of gay travellers with different consumer behaviours. Therefore, these sub-segments may be referred to as niches as individuals within these sub-groups are homogeneous in certain characteristics. Second, there are two sub-segments in which travellers’ behaviour is not influenced by their sexuality, while the sexuality of travellers in the two other sub-segments influences their travel behaviour to varying degrees. Third, there is evidence that the gay traveller is integrating with other larger mainstream market segments and that the literature on gay travel may soon find itself outdated as fewer gay individuals, as the typology shows, base their travel decisions solely on gay-related issues, possibly owing to an increasing societal acceptance of homosexuality and the insignificance of a ‘gay identity’ to many of the post-modern gay generation. Fourth, the typology shows that only a distinct sub-segment, the Gay-Centric Traveller, can be described as a gay tourist and that not all gay travellers or activities by these travellers can be labelled as gay tourism. Fifth, the typology may serve as a framework for relating the destination attributes (pull motivations), to the important push motivations that influence tourist decision making and travel behaviour, and is therefore useful to the destination in developing product and promotional strategies. Consequently, the identified sub-segments, each with its own set of motivations, could help the destination refine its target-marketing strategies and may assist in understanding the different opportunities each sub-segment presents.

A pesquisa teve como objetivos compreender as motivações das viagens realizadas por diversos estrangeiros que estiveram no Brasil e passaram pela Bahia no período; identificar e analisar o estabelecimento de serviços de hospedagem, alimentação e lazer, viabilizado devido à permanência temporária desses personagens em terras baianas. Constatei que a interface entre viagens, serviços e atrativos possibilitou que a cidade do Salvador se constituísse em núcleo receptor de visitantes das mais variadas nacionalidades. A presença desses atores sociais levou à formação e consolidação de novas atividades comerciais, voltadas para atendê-los. Essa dinâmica exerceu influência na intensificação e reconfiguração das representações do lugar, promovendo novas formas de ver e interagir com o outro. / Salvador

Doctor of Philosophy / Hospitality Management and Dietetics / Rebecca A. Gould / Chihyung Ok / The Internet has been one of the primary channels for acquiring information during pre-purchase and actual purchase stages characterized by easy entry and low supplier power. Internet travel businesses find it harder to retain customers, and customer defection to better alternatives is inevitable. Travel website developers and/or managers face problems that make it necessary to understand and identify what makes their customers continue to use websites without switching. To date, much attention has gone to identifying what affects website users’ behavioral intentions. Limited research, however, has been published on the experiential value of using travel websites and what influences travelers to switch to other travel websites, a context that requires more information. The purpose of this study was to explore and test travelers’ loyalty empirically, along with determinants like the value of travel websites and website switching drivers. In particular, Study 1 proposed a theoretical model identifying the effects of a website’s experiential value on satisfaction, and, in turn, attitudinal loyalty and behavioral loyalty. Study 2 aimed to examine website switching factors (i.e., switching costs, attractiveness of alternatives, and perceived network externality) on the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty. Along with the purpose and objectives of the study, 14 hypotheses were proposed based on the literature review. Data were collected from 384 travel website users in the United States who are 18 years or older and have used travel websites within the last three months. The proposed relationships were examined using structural equation modeling and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. Results showed that customer return on investment, service excellence, and aesthetics were directly associated with satisfaction; satisfaction was directly related to attitudinal loyalty and behavioral loyalty; attitudinal loyalty showed a positive influence on behavioral loyalty; and attitudinal loyalty partially mediated the relationship of satisfaction with behavioral loyalty. Further, the results of this study revealed that switching costs, attractiveness of alternatives, and perceived network externality were significantly and positively associated with loyalty, but their interaction effects with satisfaction on loyalty were not significant. The findings should add to the understanding of travelers’ value perception of travel websites and website switching behaviors. In addition to its contribution to the literature, online travel and tourism businesses or organizations benefit from suggestions of practical applications for retaining customers.

Travelers' diarrhea also contributes to loss of income from tourism in developing countries. The aim of the present study was to find the principle pathogens involved in outbreaks of food poisoning in tourist centers, and discover in what season the outbreaks occur, and age of the population. This study was based on informations sent to Divisão de Doença de Transmissão Hídrica e Alimentar (DDTHA), Centro de Vigilância Epidemiológica (CVE), Secretaria Estadual de Saúde (SES) do Estado de São Paulo and Vigilâncias Sanitárias da Direção Regional de Saúde (DIR) from 2002 - 2005. The tourist centers selected for the study were: São Paulo city; Águas de São Pedro, Campinas, Campos de Jordão, Franca, Jundiaí, Piracicaba, Pirassununga, Ribeirão Preto, São José dos Campos, São José do Rio Preto; Guarujá, Peruíbe, Praia Grande, Santos, and Ubatuba. The results showed that São Paulo city reported 304 outbreaks, 3,382 cases/disease and two deaths. From the interior of the state of São Paulo (116 outbreaks), 8016 cases/disease and 3 deaths were registered. From the coast (11 outbreaks), 253 cases/disease and 3 deaths were registered. In total there were 431 outbreaks, 129,340 persons exposed, 11,651 cases/disease and 8 deaths. The etiological agents were bacteria (72.72%), virus (58.08%), protozoa (4.67%), nematodes (0.83%), fungi (0.15%) and chemical products (0.12%).

L’enquête victimation et sentiment d’insécurité réalisée par l’IAUîdF montre que près d’un francilien sur deux redoute d’être agressé ou volé dans les transports en commun. Basée sur une trentaine d’entretiens réalisés auprès d’étudiants de l’Université Paris 13, cette étude vise à rendre compte des mécanismes de production de ce phénomène social. Deux principaux résultats émergent de cette recherche. On identifie d’abord trois catégories de facteurs à l’origine de l’insécurité personnelle dans les transports collectifs. La première, de nature sociale, insiste sur la perception du risque suscitée par l’isolement et certaines catégories d’usagers. La seconde est liée aux modalités de fonctionnement des transports en commun, dont certaines caractéristiques renforcent la peur des voyageurs. La troisième porte sur l’architecture et plus spécifiquement sur le cloisonnement des espaces et ses différents effets selon le nombre d’usagers. À l’aide du concept de disposition, on propose ensuite une explication aux nombreuses variations individuelles en matière de perception du risque de victimation. On insiste alors sur le passé incorporé des enquêtés, façonné sur la base des expériences menaçantes, des représentations du danger et des caractéristiques individuelles de chacun, pour rendre compte de leurs réactions dans les situations présentes. Cette analyse permet de dégager deux profils d’usagers, chacun subdivisé en trois sous profils. Les sécures d’abord rassemblent les fragiles, les assurés et les tranquilles. Les inquiets ensuite se répartissent entre les vigilants, les protégés et les résistants. / Survey on Victimation et sentiment d’insécurité survey conducted by the Institut d’aménagement et d’urbanisme de la region Île-de-France shows that almost one in two residents of the region feels worried about being robbed or mugged while travelling in public transportation. Based on thirty interviews with Université Paris 13 students, this study examines the mechanism of production of this social phenomenon. Two main results emerge. First, three types of factors leading to the emergence of fear of crime in public transportation are identified. The first is a social factor, relating to how isolation and certain categories of other passengers increase the perception of risk. The second relates to the operations procedures of the public transportation system, some of which reinforce passengers’ fear. The third concerns architecture and, more specifically, the partitioning of spaces and its varying effects depending on the number of passengers. Then, using the concept of disposition, we propose an explanation of the many individual variations in perceived victimization risk. We insist on the past as incorporated by the respondents, shaped by the earlier threats they experienced, by their social and cultural representations of danger and by their individual characteristics, to account for their reactions to the present situations. This analysis leads to the elaboration of two users’ profiles, each subdivided into three sub-profiles. The first are deemed Secures, and include fragile, self-confident and tranquil public transportation users. Worried and is split into the watchful, the protected and the resistant.

Introdução. O Ambulatório de Viajantes (DMIP/HC/FMUSP) foi criado em São Paulo em fevereiro de 2001. Atualmente, os viajantes comparecem à clínica para consulta pré-viagem e em caso de doença, quando voltam à cidade. Avaliação pós- viagem não é feita rotineiramente. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo ampliar as informações sobre as viagens realizadas e avaliar a adequação e a adesão às orientações pré-viagem. Métodos. No período de 03/02/2011 a 31/12/2011 foram convidados a participar do estudo os viajantes que procuraram o ambulatório para consulta pré-viagem. Os viajantes que concordaram em participar assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. O estudo foi realizado em duas etapas. Orientação pré-viagem: coleta de dados sobre as medidas de prevenção gerais recomendadas em relação a doenças transmitidas por vetores, água e alimentos, exposição acidental a animais; e dados individuais sobre as condições da viagem, vacinação prévia e histórico de saúde. Avaliação Pósviagem: Um questionário foi enviado aos participantes 15 dias após a data prevista de retorno. As respostas foram armazenadas na base de dados Excel. Foi utilizada estatística descritiva para apresentar todas as variáveis relevantes, utilizando Epi Info (CDC) e SPSS. Regressão logística multivariada foi usada para detectar fatores de risco independentes associados com o desenvolvimento de diarréia. Resultados. Foram obtidas 150 respostas (taxa de resposta de 52,8%), sendo 94 % dos participantes brasileiros, 89% com nível universitário, 55,1% do sexo feminino, a maioria entre 25 e 44 anos (54,5%). O tempo desde a consulta até a viagem foi menor de 28 dias em 60,1 %. Os destinos mais frequentes foram África em 58 viajantes (38,7%), seguida pela Ásia em 43 (28,7%). Demanda por serviços de saúde: 10,9% durante a viagem, e 6% no retorno. Causa da procura de atenção médica, diarréia (31,2%), seguido de acidentes em 18,7% e suspeita de malária em 12,5%. Entre os pacientes com diarréia ficar em casa de nativos (RR = 2,38; P = 0,004) e ter várias acomodações (RR 1,93; P = 0,02) foram fatores de risco na análise univariada. Viagem à Ásia foi também fator de risco (P= 0,024). Na análise multivariada a associação não se manteve. Em relação à adesão às medidas profiláticas recomendadas, a utilização de água mineral foi elevada entre todos os viajantes (94,1%), uso de hipoclorito, água fervida e limpeza dos alimentos antes do consumo foi maior no grupo de viajantes com diarréia. Hipoclorito para o consumo de água foi fator de risco (P = 0,003), independentemente do país visitado. Adesão à quimioprofilaxia da malária foi baixa, no entanto, apenas 9,6 % dos viajantes em risco apresentou malária. Exposição acidental a outros animais ocorreu em 4,7% dos viajantes. Relação sexual com conhecidos durante a viagem foi relatada por 20 % dos viajantes; 43,3 % não usaram preservativos; 46,1 % dos viajantes fizeram comentários favoráveis ao atendimento recebido e a utilidade durante a viagem. Conclusões. A principal causa de doença e procura por assistência médica foi diarreia. Adesão à quimioprofilaxia da malária e outras medidas recomendadas foi baixa. A procura por atendimento médico durante e após a viagem foi alta nessa série. Propõe-se aumentar a divulgação do serviço de forma a atingir outros setores da população / Background. The Travelers Outpatient Clinic (DMIP/HC /FMUSP) was established in São Paulo in February 2001. Currently, patients attend the clinic for pre-travel consultation and in case of illness when return to the city. Post-travel evaluation is not done routinely. This research aims to expand the information about the trips; profile occurrences; assess pre-trip orientations; adherence and adequacy, impact on disease prevention, and may be used to improve the pre-travel orientation and quality of care. Methods. In the period from 03/02/2011 to 31/12/2011 were invited to participate in the study travelers seeking outpatient care for pre-travel consultation. Travelers who agreed to participate signed the informed consent form. The study was conducted in two stages. Pre-travel orientation: collecting data on general prevention measures recommended in relation to vector-borne diseases, food and water, accidental exposure to animals, and individual data on the conditions of travel, prior vaccination and health. Post-travel evaluation: A questionnaire was sent to participants 15 days after the expected travel return date. The responses were stored in Excel database. Descriptive statistics were used to present all relevant variables using Epi Info (CDC) and SPSS. Multivariate logistic regression was used to detect independent risk factors associated with the development of diarrhea. Results. Were obtained 150 responses (52.81% response rate); 94% of participants were Brazilians, (89%) had college education, 54.5% of the participants were between 25 and 44 years and 55.1% were female. The time from consultation until the trip was less than 28 days in 60.1%. Travel destination: Africa in 58 travelers (38.7%), followed by Asia in 43 (28.7%). Demand for medical services: 10.9% during the trip, and 6% in return. Cause of seeking medical care: diarrhea (31.2 %) followed by accidents in 18.7% and suspected malaria in 12.5%. Among the patients with diarrhea the accommodation in native houses (RR=2.38 P = 0.004) and multiple accommodations (RR=2.006 P = 0.020) were risk factors. Travel to Asia was also a risk (RR 1.93 P = 0.024). In multivariate analysis the association was not maintained. Regarding adherence to prophylactic measures recommended; the use of mineral water was high among all travelers (94.1%); use of hypochlorite, boiled water and cleaning food before consumption were higher in the group of travelers with diarrhea; finding hypochlorite for water consumption as a risk factor (P = 0.003) regardless of the country visited. Adherence to chemoprophylaxis for malaria was low, however only 9.6% of travelers at risk had malaria. Reporting of accidental exposure to other animals occurred in 4.7% of our travelers. The sexual relationship with acquaintances during the trip was reported by 20% of travelers; of these 43.3% did not use condoms. 46.1% of travelers made favorable comments to the care received and the utility during the trip. Conclusions. The leading cause of illness and demand for medical care was diarrhea. Adherence to chemoprophylaxis for malaria and other recommended measures was low. Looking for medical service during and after the trip was high in this series.Proposes to increase the disclosure of the service in order to reach other sectors of the population .

O tema de nossa pesquisa é a alimentação, considerando os produtos, maneiras e espaços utilizados para o preparo e consumo, objetos materiais envolvidos e comportamentos à mesa. Para orientar nossos estudos tivemos como principais elementos de reflexão os trabalhos de Roger Chartier, 1 Norbert Elias 2 e Mary Louise Pratt 3 e seus respectivos conceitos de “representação”, “processo civilizatório” e “transculturação”. A visão do estrangeiro sobre a sociedade brasileira que transparece nos relatos é o sentimento de superioridade intelectual, tecnológica e de costumes do europeu, dito “civilizado”. Por outro lado, as diferenças culturais e, principalmente a variedade de produtos alimentícios que aqui encontraram aguçaram a curiosidade de muitos viajantes e dos europeus que os leram. / “Between bread and flour” is a study of the Brazilian culture seen through the trip reports of foreigners that came to Brazil during the first half of the nineteenth century. The theme of our research is the way people nourished themselves, including the products, how and where they were prepared and consumed, the objects involved in this process and the behaviors at the table. Our studies were guided by the main elements of reflection in the works of Roger Chartier 4, Norbert Elias 5 and Mary Louise Pratt 6, and their respective concepts of “representation”, “civilizatory process” and “transculturation”. The view of the Brazilian society held by foreigners and revealed in the reports is of European, or so-called “civilized”, superiority in intellectual and technological aspects, as well as in manners. On the other hand, the cultural differences and especially the variety of foodstuffs found here stimulated the curiosity of many travelers and of the Europeans who read their reports.

These are: George Gardner, Johann Emmanuel Pohl and Hugh Algernon Weddell, and in comparing these external visions with the regional gaze referenced by the Reports of Presidents of Province (1835-1853). The main objective is to map the diseases occurring in the region through travel reports, written in order to establish records about known regions. In addition, to perceive the respective diaries and the Reports of Presidents of Province, as sources of information, that confers fundamental elements for the construction of the regional identity with the intention of glimpsing how the society of the time dealt with its sick people. Therefore, this dissertation is located at the intersection between the studies of History of Science and Medicine and the studies of Regional History. / O presente trabalho se propõe a analisar as condições de existência dos goianos no século XIX, atentando, sobretudo, para a construção regional de Goiás pela perspectiva de seu cenário nosológico, utilizando como referência a visão de três viajantes estrangeiros com formação médica. A saber: George Gardner, Johann Emmanuel Pohl e Hugh Algernon Weddell, e na comparação destas visões exteriores com o olhar regional referenciado pelos Relatórios de Presidentes de Província (1835-1853). O objetivo principal consiste em realizar um mapeamento sobre as doenças incidentes na região por intermédio dos relatos de viagem, escritos com o intuito de estabelecer registros sobre as regiões conhecidas. Além disso, perceber os respectivos diários e os Relatórios de Presidentes de Província, enquanto mananciais de informações, que conferem elementos fundamentais para a construção da identidade regional com o intuito de vislumbrar como a sociedade da época lidava com a sua gente doente. Para tanto, esta dissertação se situa na intersecção entre os estudos de História da Ciência e da Medicina e os estudos de História Regional.
