O TURISMO ENQUANTO ESPAÇO DE ANÁLISE GEOGRÁFICA: três perspectivas de abordagem (tourism as a geographic analysis site: three perspectives to approach)
Abstract
No âmbito das abordagens sobre a atividade turística desenvolvidas pela geografia emergem três linhas teóricas de maior relevância: a primeira ligada aos estudos da produção dos espaços turísticos, tendo essa atividade como uma produção econômica e política; a segunda relacionada aos estudos sobre o espaço vivido dos indivíduos das áreas destinadas ao turismo, tendo esse como uma atividade impactante desse espaço e; mais recentemente, tem se desenvolvido uma vertente ligada aos estudos sobre as representações espaciais das áreas turísticas, tendo a viagem como princípio da atividade em questão. Partindo dessas três primícias busca-se demonstrar um panorama geral da abordagem do turismo pela geografia.
Palavras chave: turismo, produção do espaço, espaço vivido, representação.
ABSTRACT
In the approaches on the field of touristic activity developed by Geography emerge three very important theoretical lines: the first linked to the production’s studies of touristics areas, having this activity as an economic and political production; the second one connected to the studies about the individuals lived space of the areas preserved to tourism, having this as an impacting activity of that space and, more recently, it has been developed as a trend linked to the studies of the spatial representations of the touristic area, having the action of traveling as the starting point for the activity under discussion. Starting with these three premises it tries to demonstrate a general view on tourism by the Geography approach.
Key Words: Tourism, lived space, representation.
