Abstract
With the increase in urban tourism around the world planners stand before a new challenge. To keep cities sustainable and decrease the effects of urban strains such as mass-tourism. To achieve this, planners and decisionmakers must implement environmentally friendly urban developments. These decisions, however, require more insights to implement more informed decision making. This includes the whereabouts of tourists within the urban environment but also the identification of popular point of interests, throughout multiple seasons. This thesis, therefore, focusses on spatial patterns and temporal distributions of tourists within a case-study of Venice. By analysing and visualizing geotagged photographs from social media site Flickr maps and graphs are created, which show urban activity patterns over multiple time-intervals. Additionally, are pathways constructed that track routes throughout a city over one or multiple days. All this is done by exploring and describing a method, which uses big data that could ultimately improve the way we plan today.
