  • Descrição: Increased international tourism in large European cities has been a growing social and political issue over the last few years. As the number of urban tourists has rapidly grown, studies have often focused on its socio-spatial consequences, commonly referred to as touristification, and have linked this to gentrification. This connection makes sense within the framework of planetary gentrification theories because the social injustices it generates in cities have a global pattern. However, gentrification is a complex process that must be analytically differentiated from tourism strategies and their effects. Whereas gentrification means a lower income population replaced by one of a higher status, touristification consists of an increase in tourist activity that generally implies the loss of residents. Strategies to appropriate and marketise culture to sustain tourismled economies can also shape more attractive places for foreign wealthy newcomers, whose arrival has been theorised as transnational gentrification. Discussions on the relationship between gentrification, transnational gentrification and touristification are essential, especially regarding how they work in transforming an urban area’s social fabric, for which Seville, Spain’s fourth largest city with an economy specialised in cultural tourism, provides a starting point. The focus is set on the processes’ timelines and similar patterns, which are tested on three consecutive scales of analysis: the city, the historic district and the Alameda neighbourhood. Through the examination of these transformations, the article concludes that transnational gentrification and touristification are new urban strategies and practices to revalorise real estate and appropriate urban surplus in unique urban areas. 在过去的几年里,欧洲大城市国际旅游业的增长已经成为一个日益突出的社会和政治问题。随着城市游客数量的快速增长,研究往往集中于其社会空间后果(这通常被称为旅游者化,touristification),并将其与绅士化联系起来。这种联系在全球绅士化理论的框架内是有意义的,因为它在城市中产生的社会不公正是一种全球规律。然而,绅士化是一个复杂的过程,必须从分析上区别于旅游战略及其影响。绅士化意味着收入较低的人口被地位较高的人口所取代,而旅游业则包括旅游活动的增加,这通常意味着居民的流失。为维持旅游业主导的经济而采取适当的文化营销策略,也可以为外国富裕的新移民创造更有吸引力的地方,他们的到来被理论上称为跨国绅士化。关于绅士化、跨国绅士化和旅游者化之间关系的讨论至关重要,特别是关于它们如何改变城市地区的社会结构,在这方面,经济以文化旅游业为重点的西班牙第四大城市塞维利亚提供了一个研究的起点。我们的研究重点放在过程的时间表和类似规律上,这些规律在三个连续的分析尺度上进行测试:城市、历史地区和阿拉梅达(Alameda)街区。通过对这些转变的考察,本文得出结论,跨国绅士化和旅游者化是在独特的城市地区稳定房地产和适当的城市剩余的新的城市战略和做法。
