  • Urban Exploration, Phenomenology and Accommodating Fringe Groups
    ISSUE SIX (2017) World Heritage and Tourism: Urban Exploration, Phenomenology and Accommodating Fringe Groups Francesca Casey Introduction The focus of this issue of furnace is World Heritage and Tourism. A ‘tourist’ has been defined as ‘a temporarily leisured person who voluntarily visits a place away from home for the purpose of experiencing a change’ (V. L. Smith, 1989: 1). This paper will adhere to this broad definition in some respects but will seek to problematize it by applying it to a peripheral and unconventional community of interest - Urban Explorers. In doing so, this paper will make an original contribution to World Heritage scholarship by reflecting on World Heritage discourse through the lens of alternative and fringe visitation approaches to ‘top level’ heritage. For the purposes of this discussion, Urban Explorers will be examined as a specific sub-group of ‘tourists’ who forge powerful unauthorised, embodied, and subcultural engagements with the World Heritage Sites they visit. One such case study explored in this paper is Hashima Island, in Japan. Often cited by the Urban Exploring community as a ‘holy grail’ destination, this site has witnessed powerful performative staging of urban explorer subcultural identity. The site’s future management as a World Heritage Site raises both potential opportunities and challenges in accommodating divergent interest groups at sites of international heritage importance. Urban Exploring, Heritage and Tourism The term ‘Urban Exploration’ (also ‘UE’ or ‘urbex’) was coined in the 1990s. My own definition would be ‘the recreational practice of gaining entry into various abandoned or out-of-bounds areas/structures’, or ‘the infiltration of mostly urban ‘no-go’ areas as performed by individuals or small groups’.

  • Socioeconomic Patterns of Twitter User Activity
    entropy Article Socioeconomic Patterns of Twitter User Activity Jacob Levy Abitbol 1 and Alfredo J. Morales 2,* 1 GRYZZLY SAS, 69003 Lyon, France; [email protected] 2 MIT Media Lab, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Stratifying behaviors based on demographics and socioeconomic status is crucial for political and economic planning. Traditional methods to gather income and demographic information, like national censuses, require costly large-scale surveys both in terms of the financial and the organizational resources needed for their successful collection. In this study, we use data from social media to expose how behavioral patterns in different socioeconomic groups can be used to infer an individual’s income. In particular, we look at the way people explore cities and use topics of conversation online as a means of inferring individual socioeconomic status. Privacy is preserved by using anonymized data, and abstracting human mobility and online conversation topics as aggregated high-dimensional vectors. We show that mobility and hashtag activity are good predictors of income and that the highest and lowest socioeconomic quantiles have the most differentiated behavior across groups. Keywords: human behavior; socioeconomic status; data analysis; social media 1.

  • Entdecke Mit Mir Das Eisacktal Scopri Con Me La Valle Isarco Let’S Explore the Eisacktal Valley 2 Pfeifer Huisele
    Entdecke mit mir das Eisacktal Scopri con me la Valle Isarco Let’s explore the Eisacktal Valley 2 Pfeifer Huisele Sobald Pfeifer Huisele auftaucht, herrscht Aufregung. Die in Ratschings beheimatete Sagengestalt konnte sich als Zauberer in jedes Wesen verwandeln, egal ob Fliege oder Elefant. Er wurde gefürchtet und als Hexen- meister bezeichnet. Als solcher verursachte er Unwetter und andere Katastrophen, bis der Teufel dem Treiben ein Ende setzte. Heute führt er dich durch das Eisacktal. Action, Spaß und Spannung sind angesagt. Der positive Nebeneffekt: Du lernst ganz nebenbei, was das Eisack- tal an Geschichtlichem, Kulturellem und Kulinarischem zu bieten hat! Non appena arriva Pfeifer Huisele, l’eccitazione è garan- tita. Come mago si poteva trasformare in tutto ciò che voleva, non importa se mosca o elefante. Tutti tenevano paura di lui e veniva chiamato stregone. Come tale cau- sava temporali e altre catastrofi, finché il diavolo non ha posto fine a tutto questo. In tempi passati infestava suo luogo, ma oggi ti accompagna attraverso tutta la Valle Isarco. Azione, divertimento e curiosità sono garantiti. Impara cosa offre la Valle Isarco per quanto riguarda storia, cultura e cucina! 3 Talking about the Pfeifer Huisele causes excitement. As a wizard this fi gure was able to turn into any imaginable character, no matter if elephant or fl y. He was feared by people and was called warlock. He was responsible for storms and other disasters until the devil put an end to it. In the past the Pfeiff er Huisele was making trouble but nowadays he is the one to lead you through the Eisack- tal valley.

    Geo.Alp, Vol.10 2013 47 - 60 Die mögliche Bedeutung der polymetallischen Erzvorkommen des Pfunderer Bergs bei Klausen für die prähistorische Metallurgie im Eisacktal (Südtirol, Italien) Krismer, M., Tropper, P. Institut für Mineralogie und Petrographie, Universität Innsbruck, Innrain 52f, A-6020 Innsbruck Zusammenfassung Die Bergbaureviere des Pfunderer Bergs befinden sich westlich von Klausen oberhalb des Thinnetales in den Sarntaler Alpen. Geologisch zählt die Region zum südalpinen Basement und wird zum überwie- genden Teil aus Brixner Quarzphyllit aufgebaut. Für die Metallogenese im Raum Klausen sind jedoch vor allem die zahlreichen kleineren intermediären Intrusionen, zumeist Diorite (Klausenite), interessant. Diese permischen Magmatite treten als kleinräumige gang- und lagerförmige Körper im Brixner Quarz- phyllit auf. Die Vererzungen werden in direktem Zusammenhang mit der Platznahme und der Abkühlung dieser Intrusionen gebracht. Metallogenetisch handelt es sich hierbei sicherlich um postmagmatische Bildungen in Zusammenhang mit zirkulierenden Wässern um die noch heiße Intrusion. Hydrothermale Alterationserscheinungen sowie Erzimpregnationen im Diorit weisen jedoch auch auf höhertemperierte, spätmagmatische Bildungen ähnlich den porphyrischen Kupferlagerstätten hin. Historisch gesehen geht die erste urkundliche Erwähnung der historischen Gruben des Pfunderer Bergs zwar in das Jahr 1140 zurück, aber der Nachweis von prähistorischer Kupfermetallurgie im Eisacktal in den letzten Jahren legt nahe, dass diese Lagerstätte schon in der
