| Popis: | For the purpose of destination planning, management and marketing it is imperative to understand the patterns of tourist spatial activities within cities; in the sense of delineating of tourist zones and major pathways, prognosis of the time spent at particular locations and realizing factors which shape the movement of tourists. The aim of this research is to outline the areas intensively used by tourists during their stay in Belgrade and to analyse the influence of various factors on their spatial behaviour. To collect relevant data, 325 foreign individual tourists were interviewed with the aim of collecting data regarding their spatial activities, visit specifics and socio-demographic characteristics. Independent t-test and one way variance analysis (ANOVA) procedures were conducted in order to explore statistically signifi cant differences in spatial behaviour of tourists based on their socio-demographic and visit characteristics. The study confirmed the importance of Belgrade's historical area for tourism and identifi ed various factors regarding internal characteristics of their visit to the influences characterizing spatial behaviour of tourists in Belgrade. The results can be used to create long-term strategies that would promote a polycentric and balanced distribution of tourist activities across Belgrade and in turn prevent negative effects on the city life itself. |
