Abstract

Purpose Studies examining public insecurity and tourism tend to develop their research from the tourist's perspective, thereby focusing on its consequences, which insufficiently and poorly contribute to the development process. With that in mind, the purpose of this study is to discuss the root causes of public insecurity and the urban development process surrounding tourism dynamics in Brazil's northeast region. Design/methodology/approach The complexity method was used to collect both documentary and normative data to understand the reality beyond the data on accommodations and vertical real estate developments over time. These data were organized in ArcGIS (version 10.5) and are discussed within the context of urban development, public insecurity and tourism theories. Findings The results of this study demonstrate that the relationship between tourism and public insecurity is rooted in discussions surrounding the urban development process, remodeled by the physical and symbolic dimensions surrounding the production of space. Nevertheless, the symbolism of tourism is not a constant when it comes to socio-spatial changes but rather acts as a physical and secondary dynamic throughout the entire reconfiguration process. Originality/value The findings of this study indicate that this study can be used for the elaboration of security policies in tourist destinations in Latin America that present high levels of violence, considering the discourses at implementing urban legislation.

旅游业与公共安全:根源何在?

目的研究公共不安全和旅游倾向于从游客的角度发展他们的研究，从而关注其后果，这对发展进程的贡献不足和不良。考虑到这一点，本研究的目的是讨论巴西东北地区公共不安全的根本原因以及围绕旅游动态的城市发展过程。设计/方法/方法复杂性方法用于收集文献和规范数据，以了解长期以来住宿和垂直房地产开发数据之外的现实情况。这些数据在ArcGIS(10.5版)中进行了整理，并在城市发展、公共不安全和旅游理论的背景下进行了讨论。本研究的结果表明，旅游与公共不安全之间的关系根植于围绕城市发展过程的讨论，并被围绕空间生产的物理和符号维度重塑。然而，当涉及到社会空间变化时，旅游的象征意义并不是恒定的，而是在整个重新配置过程中充当物理和次要动态。原创性/价值本研究的结果表明，本研究可用于拉丁美洲旅游目的地的安全政策的制定，这些目的地存在高水平的暴力，考虑到实施城市立法的话语。

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.
