Abstract

Purpose The present article encourages urban tourism researchers use pre-recorded (like YouTube, TikTok and security camera footage) and self-recorded video data in research. The author highlighted the benefits of doing so for urban tourism scholars, as well as ways in which these investigators can use the observational video analysis technique to produce convincing findings and advance their field. Design/methodology/approach To accomplish the purpose, the author reviewed 25 scholarly articles on the topic from several fields. Findings One benefit of observational video analysis research (OVAR), the author highlighted, was the ability of scholars in different locations to simultaneously observe interactions, the focus of the study, in their natural setting and discuss them. This practice is not possible with traditional ethnographic research. Also, one way the author mentioned researchers can accomplish rigor in their OVAR project is through multimodal transcription. With multimodal transcription, verbal and non-verbal happenings in videos are transliterated and later analyzed. Research limitations/implications It is hoped because of the present article, increased use of the technique in urban tourism research will be seen. Originality/value The present article is the first, to the best of the author’s knowledge, to detail how rigor can be accomplished in OVAR in urban tourism.

城市旅游研究人员的好消息！提高观察性视频分析研究实用性的 19 种方法

本文鼓励城市旅游研究人员在研究中使用预先录制的（如 YouTube、TikTok 和安全摄像机镜头）和自我录制的视频数据。作者强调了这样做对城市旅游学者的益处，以及这些研究者如何利用观察性视频分析技术得出令人信服的研究结果并推动其领域的发展。研究结果作者强调，观察性视频分析研究（OVAR）的一个益处是，不同地点的学者能够在自然环境中同时观察作为研究重点的互动，并进行讨论。这种做法是传统人种学研究无法做到的。此外，作者还提到，研究人员可以在 OVAR 项目中实现严谨性的一种方法是多模态转录。通过多模态转录，视频中的言语和非言语事件将被音译，随后进行分析。研究局限性/影响希望通过本文的研究，在城市旅游研究中更多地使用这一技术。

期刊介绍： A peer-reviewed journal, the International Journal of Tourism Cities provides an international forum for the critical study of urban tourism and tourism cities. The journal aims to be inter-disciplinary in its appreciation of tourism cities and tourism in urban areas, and welcomes original, theoretically-informed articles from those involved in the planning, management or marketing of tourism in city destination or places adjoining urban areas. Urban tourism and travel cover many disciplines and impinge on numerous aspects of daily life within cities. Moreover, they play a key role in domestic and international tourism in most countries, and cities often function as key travel gateways and tourism destinations. The International Journal of Tourism Cities contents include primary research articles, expert discussions on current urban tourism issues, and tourism city case studies. Articles are selected that are relevant to both academics and practitioners. The journal particularly encourages contributions on contemporary topics and issues in urban tourism including smart cities and tourism, environmental impact and sustainable tourism development in cities, citizen and stakeholder involvement in tourism, city destination governance, and the development of policies and standards for city tourism development. The International Journal of Tourism Cities has four distinct purposes: To encourage greater research and scholarship related to tourism in urban settings. To stimulate more interdisciplinary research on tourism in cities, particularly the integration of tourism and urban studies theories and principles. To generate more research studies on tourism at the edge of cities, where urban and rural areas converge. To create more literature on best practices in city tourism worldwide through in-depth analyses and the production of exemplary case studies.
