Abstract

In the last years, several cities in Europe and around the world have witnessed the emergence of social movements critical of mass tourism, underlining a diversity of 'externalities' associated to this highly-complex global industry. The so-defined 'anti-social' (i.e. unruly, offensive, inappropriate) behavior of tourists has been highlighted by both social movements and the local and global media among these negative effects of tourism, and local authorities have responded with many campaigns and strategies to regulate the impact of visitors in the lives of locals. By focusing on three European city-cases (namely Amsterdam, Venice and Barcelona), this paper discusses the current efforts to regulate 'disruptive behavior', while examining the limits of these initiatives and the challenges that these approaches create to the daily management of public spaces.

监管“反社会”游客。威尼斯、阿姆斯特丹和巴塞罗那的大众旅游和“无序行为”。

在过去几年里，欧洲和世界各地的几个城市出现了批评大众旅游业的社会运动，突显了与这个高度复杂的全球产业相关的“外部性”的多样性。在旅游业的负面影响中，社会运动以及当地和全球媒体都强调了游客的“反社会”（即不守规矩、冒犯、不当）行为，地方当局也采取了许多行动和策略来应对游客对当地人生活的影响。通过关注三个欧洲城市案例（即阿姆斯特丹、威尼斯和巴塞罗那），本文讨论了当前监管“破坏性行为”的努力，同时考察了这些举措的局限性以及这些方法给公共空间的日常管理带来的挑战。

期刊介绍： PArtecipazione e COnflitto [PArticipation and COnflict] is an International Journal based in Italy specialized in social and political studies. PACO houses research and studies on the transformations of politics and its key players (political parties, interest groups, social movements, associations, unions, etc.), focusing in particular on the dynamics of participation both by individuals acting in conventional ways, and by those who prefer protest-oriented repertoires of action. Special attention is also paid to the dynamics of transformation of contemporary political systems, with an eye fixed on the processes of democratization besides on the spaces opening to the new forms of governance both at local and sub-national, and supra-national level. All are inscribed in that complex phenomenon represented by the trans-nationalization of social, political and economic processes, without neglecting the nation-state dimension. The journal emphasizes innovative studies and research of high methodological rigor, treasuring of the most recent theoretical and empirical contributions in social and political sciences.
