Abstract
In this thesis spatial and temporal patterns of tourists in Barcelona are explored. Barcelona being a popular tourist destination with a high annual number of tourists, tensions in the city are created. Therefore, planners and policy-makers need to gain insights about where tourists are in the urban environment to be able to improve it in a possible sustainable way. By extracting metadata from social media platform Flickr such as: times, dates and coordinates, insights for planners and policy-makers can be created by visualizing spatial patterns and analyzing the temporal distributions. This method delivered a dataset with lots of possibilities for future research and opportunities to study more in depth the tourists’ temporal and spatial patterns in Barcelona.
