Abstract

The current paper explores the relationship between urban regeneration, tourism and culture, and offers a common approach that each of these three concepts can bring. The paper proposes and develops a new and integrated conceptual analytical framework. The analysis uses the example of the capital Skopje, which provides a suitable framework for interpreting the process. The study uses combined research methods and analysis to obtain a critical synthesis. Skopje has catalyzed a new example of urban regeneration driven by tourism and the ‘Skopje 2014’ project. The results show that, except for the old city’s core, which was generally refurbished with the ‘Skopje 2014’ project, new tourist values were also promoted in other peripheral municipalities of the city. The number, spatial concentration and nationality of foreign tourists have changed in the analyzed period. As well, the findings indicate changes in the geography and business of hotels/accommodation establishments and their increasing use in recent years. This study fits into the theoretical debate on the determinants of tourism/culture-led urban regeneration and provides appropriate theoretical contributions to literature, as well as a set of recommendations that can be useful for public sector authorities and policymakers.

旅游业和“斯科普里2014”项目推动的城市更新和变化

本文探讨了城市更新、旅游和文化之间的关系，并提出了这三个概念各自可以带来的共同方法。本文提出并发展了一个新的综合概念分析框架。分析以首都斯科普里为例，为解释这一过程提供了一个合适的框架。本研究采用研究方法和分析相结合的方法来获得关键综合。斯科普里推动了旅游业和“斯科普里2014”项目推动的城市复兴的新范例。结果表明，除了老城的核心区（通常通过“斯科普里2014”项目进行翻新）外，该市其他周边城市也提升了新的旅游价值。在分析期间，外国游客的数量、空间集中度和国籍都发生了变化。此外，研究结果表明，近年来酒店/住宿机构的地理和业务发生了变化，其使用也在增加。这项研究符合关于旅游业/文化主导的城市复兴的决定因素的理论辩论，并为文献提供了适当的理论贡献，以及一系列对公共部门当局和政策制定者有用的建议。

期刊介绍： TRAS represents a collective effort initiated by an international group aimed at boosting the research in the field of public administration in a country where during the communist regime there was no tradition in this sense. TRAS represents a unique source of specialized analysis of the ex-communist space, of the transition processes to democracy, of the reform of public administration, and of comparative analysis of administrative systems. The general topic covered by the articles in the Review is administrative sciences. As a result of an interdisciplinary, modern approach, the articles cover the following specific themes: Public management, public policy, administrative law, public policy analysis, regional development, community development, public finances, urban planning, program evaluation in public administration, ethics, comparative administrative systems, etc. TRAS encourages the authors to submit articles that are based on empirical research. From the standpoint of the topic covered, TRAS is lined up with the trends followed by other international journals in the field of public administration. All articles submitted to the Transylvanian Review of Administrative Sciences have to present a clear connection to the field of administrative sciences and the research (both theoretical and empirical) should be conducted from this perspective. Interdisciplinary topics related to organizational theory, sustainable development and CSR, international relations, etc. can be considered for publication, however the research needs to address relevant issues from the perspective of the public sector. Articles which use highly specialized econometrics models as well as studies addressing macro-economic topics will not be considered for evaluation. The decision on whether a certain topic falls within the interest of TRAS belongs to the editors and it is not connected with the overall quality of the work submitted.
