Backpacker cultures, residential communities, and the construction of tourist spaces and landscapes: A regional study of changing tourism dynamics in Sydney

这个跨学科的项目借鉴了文化研究，文化地理和旅游业，以响应业界对旅游问题，特别是悉尼大都市区背包客旅游更全面，长期研究的呼吁。该项目将探索旅游业作为一种复杂的文化实践，采用创新方法调查背包旅游与地方和社区转型之间的联系。重点是背包客，特别强调地方政府在居民社区内面临的背包客问题。该项目将产生解决这些问题的新方法，为地方议会的一系列政策提供信息。

This interdisciplinary project draws on Cultural Studies, Cultural Geography, and Tourism to respond to industry calls for more comprehensive, long-term research on tourism issues, particularly backpacker tourism in the Sydney metropolitan region. The project will explore tourism as a complex cultural practice through an innovative approach investigating the links between backpacker tourism and the transformation of places and communities. The focus is on backpackers, with a special emphasis on the problems Local Government faces in relation to backpackers within residential communities. The project will generate new approaches to these issues, informing a range of policies for local councils.
