Friendships are voluntary relationships between autonomous individuals that can shed light on how bonding and intimacy are experienced in tourism environments. Adopting a qualitative, humanist approach, this paper explores the topic of friendship in tourism. Through a thematic analysis of twelve in-depth interviews, we examine how friendships are experienced by Serbian young to middle-aged adults in tourism settings. It was revealed five main dimensions underpin friendship relationships in a tourism context: intimacy of spaces, quality time, disclosure, navigation of challenges and relational realisations, or a sense of learning about oneself through shared experiences. Opportunities are suggested for researchers to extend these research findings.

The aim of this paper is to analyze these initiatives and develop a model of responsible community-based ecotourism, which is posible to implement in protected rural areas next to the large cities and towns in the Danube basin in the Balkan region. Bearing in mind that the involving appreciation not only of nature, but also for indigenous cultures prevailing in natural areas as part of the visitor experience, this empirical research is primarly focused on the local initiatives aimed at the quality of the visitor experience of two protected rural areas – Ponjavica (Serbia) and Kopački rit (Croatia). The model was developed in order to guide future initiatives aimed at ecotourism development in protected rural areas of the Balkans, which can meet the needs of domestic and foreign tourists, providing the surrounding villages an image of attractive tourist destinations.

Being familiar with café culture and the history of cafes' role in three countries where we lived or currently reside (Bosnia, Serbia and Austria), we compared history, design and purpose of cafes for the period of post-war modernism (1950ies and 1960ies) until today. For this comparison we used concepts of social performativity, resonance and overshooting as interdependent notions and results of two people's interaction and social codependence in a particular design setting. We argue that cafes as places of high density have an immanent potential to unroll the resonance and produce the action. Consequently, the moments of overshooting occur, where one is being aware of the immediacy to the Other, and at the same time alienated of themselves and the world they organize, grasping the recognition of the commonalities they share with Others. The notions of resonance and overshooting in the period of post-war modernism were further illustrated with the examples of Oswald Haerdtl and Juraj Neidhardt. Haerdtl was tuned with the tendencies of that time, adopting his design for the market demandsfirst, he created spaces of intimacy and relaxation, and later, as wishes to have just a short rest and quick espresso were articulated, he was designing spaces that would fulfill such needs. Neidhardt, on the other side, had a great respect for upcoming modernity, respecting at the same time the accumulated experiences of the past, particularly natural setting. Even though having different reference points for their design, both architects designed interactive spaces that were allowing the moment of resonance to occur. For Neidhardt, this moment was produced by the possibility of viewing, contemplating and interacting with the surrounding. On the other side Haerdtl related to resonance in an excessive way, approaching the upcoming concept of total design and perfectly organized spaces. When we talk about the cafes of today, the profit-making rules seem to dictate their design and outlook. Density is increasingly growing, the space between chairs and tables is shrinking, and the surrounding public space is not a scenery for contemplation and spontaneous actionsit is becoming an extension of a café, a semi-public space of consumption. In this context of densification social interactions seem to have been multiplying, since we have much more 'Others' around us, physically, and in the virtual sphere of new technologies as well. Resonance and overshooting are still existent, but the number and speed of ephemeral awakening moments is raising. This paper gives an insight into some theoretical assumptions on new social performativity in café context, but in order to understand the level and intensity of social interactions an empirical study should be pursued.

The article operates in the planning phase and aims to give insights into the process of establishing the groundwork for community-based tourism. The key element is documenting and illustrating everything that could be a part of what is known as “traditional wisdom,” namely, the skills and knowledge of traditional life practices. The methods of case study, content analysis, and observation of the village of Omoljica, Serbia, were used. The positive aspect of this locality is reflected in the existing short-term initiatives of organizations and individuals engaging in preserving traditional practices, but without systematic, long-term planning and management of community-based tourism, these individual efforts to revalue traditional life practices would stay unrecognizable and invisible for visitors and stakeholders. Thus, the main goal of this article is to understand the relation between short-term bottom-up initiatives and long-term top-down strategic planning of specific ecotourism destinations, one that would embrace the traditional ways of rural community life. The contribution of this study, in addition to documenting and illustrating “traditional wisdom” of the specific rural community placed in the protected area which encompasses a particular local social system, will be reflected in the creation of a set of guidelines for sustainable, rural, community-based ecotourism as a soft-driver development of protected areas near big cities of the postsocialist countries.

There is an opportunity for a further development of psychology of events as part of the discipline-based discourse in the event studies field. In this conceptual article, an overview of positive psychology, a study of what makes life worth living, is first presented and the field is critically evaluated. A research agenda, based on positive psychology theories and approaches, is then presented to the events reader. It is argued that the theories and approaches from this field could enhance understandings of how people anticipate events, enjoy events, and how they acquire psychological rewards and benefits from event experiences. New directions for research about visitor motivations, humor, and cocreation of events as well as visitor well-being are proposed in the article. The role and the value of appreciative inquiry, a strength-based methodological approach, to inform future event planning and design is also discussed. It is argued that the contributions from positive psychology could help develop psychology of events scholarship in a meaningful and theoretically informed manner.

Cultural purpose refers to satisfying the cultural needs and fostering the local creativity of the community. Tourist purpose refers to tourism presentation and creation of tourist offer, with special respect for local context and capacities. The basic structural elements of the models constructed would be universal and could be adapted for other urban contexts. The first model refers to public-civil partnership in the field of culture and the second model refers to public-civil-private partnership, where the field of culture is accompanied by the fields of tourism and urban planning.

In accordance with the current nomination for the title of cultural capital of Europe 2020 there are frequent media and political statements about contribution to the socio-economic development of the city and its positioning as an international cultural center. Also, it is assumed that this project can be a strategic tool in creating a new model of cultural policy of the city, with regard to the proposed objectives which coincide with the primary aims of his cultural development. Taking into account studies that represent the effects of the event 'European Capital of Culture' in cities that carried the title in previous years, the paper seeks to highlight the perceived problems and to propose a possible solution in the form of 'cultural planning' which represents holistic and flexible understanding of cultural and urban policy. Such an understanding encompasses the sphere of art, economic, political, social, educational and environmental sphere of the city and seeks a sustainable and comprehensive model based on local identity and character of the city, based on the participatory planning.

Због тога је потребно редефинисати појам и градску функцију зелених површина, односно градских паркова, уз препоруку очувања идентитета и унапређење социјалне кохезије овог типа јавног простора. У теоријском смислу, постоји проблем планирања и дизајнирања градских паркова у Србији. До тога долази услед непрепознавања комплексности из које произилази могућа улога јавног градског парка као покретача урбане обнове у оквиру града или појединог његовог дела. Пример Каменичког парка одабран је због своје комплексности -поред тога што је највећи зелени простор града Новог Сада, овај парк поседује и високе природне и културне вредности јер је заштићен као културно и природно добро. Резултати истраживања указују на смањено коришћење овог градског простора. На основу постојеће теорије и увида у домаћи плански процес, општа препорука за унапређење његовог квалитета односи се на унапређење форме, дизајна парка, односно потребно је кроз просторне анализе дефинисати и унапредити идентитет простора. Крајњи циљ јесте да се успешно одговори на постојеће и на могуће потребе корисника и тиме дефинише еколошка, економска, културна и социјална одрживост, што је кључни фактор очувања парка. Кључне речи: Каменички парк, градски парк, идентитет, одрживи јавни простор, социјална кохезија

Kako savremene tendencije zaštite teže aktivnom održivom korišćenju resursa, tako se i potrebe posetilaca pomeraju ka aktivnoj percepciji i iskustvu posećenog prostora.
Izvođačke umetnosti (poput ambijentalnog teatra) ili vizuelne umetnosti, mogle bi biti instrument kojim bi se naglasio sam prostor istorijskog grada i njegov kulturno-istorijski značaj, bez značajnijih intervencija na samo istorijsko nasleđe i uz uvažavanje potreba stanovništva koje ga naseljava.
Ključne reči: graditeljsko nasleđe, istorijski grad, ambijentalni teatar, održivi kulturni turizam
(The concept of the historical city in tourism science is interpreted since the eighties of the twentieth century, which is associated with the paradigm of planning its protection - from conservation to active use in accordance with the modern needs of the people (citizens and visitors). Modern tendencies of conservation involve active sustainable use of resources, and also the visitors’ needs evolved to active perception and experience of the visited area.
Performing arts (such as site-specific theater) and visual arts could be an instrument to emphasize the built heritage and its cultural and historical significance, and without significant interventions
Keywords: built heritage, historical city, site-specific theater, sustainable cultural tourism)
Cultural sustainability presented as cultural vitality in terms of wellbeing, creativity, diversi... more Cultural sustainability presented as cultural vitality in terms of wellbeing, creativity, diversity and innovation makes the fourth pillar of sustainable development together with social, economic and environmental development. The critical question posed in this work is ‘how to achieve cultural sustainability and align all its elements in the same line?’. One of the options are cultural spaces created on the basis of partnerships between the public (state owned cultural domain) and civil society cultural organizations, as well as between the departments of culture, economy (tourism) and urban planning. These partnerships are important for several reasons. Firstly, some new organizational forms could be created, including new services, products and infrastructure. Also, it could form a new value for the community. Cultural spaces based on a partnership should be in accordance with certain guidelines. Namely, they need to appear as the 'bottom-up' initiative which encompasses the needs of the artists, the civil society organizations and the individuals in a certain field of culture. They also need to work for the common good, as well as be publicly accessible and open, and dispose of any exclusive property rights of the individual. These areas should be places of interaction between people, and between people and the created environment, and as such may represent a new form of infrastructure for independent cultural initiatives. In addition, it is important to mention that these cultural spaces can also play an educational role while creating the cultural habits of the population. Designed and implemented in this manner, cultural spaces could be presented even through a tourist offer, as spaces of a unified cultural production, and through a presentation that may contribute to creating specific experiences among visitors. As such, it largely contributes to the self-development of the visitors by establishing the communication and the contact with the everyday life of people at a certain destination, so that a deeper contact with the visited destination is achieved. The cultural properties of this sort could contribute to the creating of one of the pillars of the city's identity, as it is hugely significant for it to be tightly connected with the contemporary life and creativity in general.

They are based on the creative potential of individuals which is unified at the one place of both production and consumption. Such places could contribute to fostering local cultural expression, urban regeneration and local economy. Creative clusters represent places of vibrant city cultural life and are aimed predominantly at members of the local community. By participation and active involvement of local community, those places could become a spots of city's identity, an urban landmarks and a core of creativity and innovation.

У теоријском смислу, постоји проблем планирања и дизајнирања градских паркова у Србији. До тога долази услед непрепознавања комплексности из које произилази могућа улога јавног градског парка као покретача урбане обнове у оквиру града или појединог његовог дела. Пример Каменичког парка одабран је због своје комплексности -поред тога што је највећи зелени простор града Новог Сада, овај парк поседује и високе природне и културне вредности јер је заштићен као културно и природно добро. Резултати истраживања указују на смањено коришћење овог градског простора. На основу постојеће теорије и увида у домаћи плански процес, општа препорука за унапређење његовог квалитета односи се на унапређење форме, дизајна парка, односно потребно је кроз просторне анализе дефинисати и унапредити идентитет простора. Крајњи циљ јесте да се успешно одговори на постојеће и на могуће потребе корисника и тиме дефинише еколошка, економска, културна и социјална одрживост, што је кључни фактор очувања парка.

Kako savremene tendencije zaštite teže aktivnom održivom korišćenju resursa, tako se i potrebe posetilaca pomeraju ka aktivnoj percepciji i iskustvu posećenog prostora.
Izvođačke umetnosti (poput ambijentalnog teatra) ili vizuelne umetnosti, mogle bi biti instrument kojim bi se naglasio sam prostor istorijskog grada i njegov kulturno-istorijski značaj, bez značajnijih intervencija na samo istorijsko nasleđe i uz uvažavanje potreba stanovništva koje ga naseljava.

(The concept of the historical city in tourism science is interpreted since the eighties of the twentieth century, which is associated with the paradigm of planning its protection - from conservation to active use in accordance with the modern needs of the people (citizens and visitors). Modern tendencies of conservation involve active sustainable use of resources, and also the visitors’ needs evolved to active perception and experience of the visited area.

Cultural sustainability presented as cultural vitality in terms of wellbeing, creativity, diversi... more Cultural sustainability presented as cultural vitality in terms of wellbeing, creativity, diversity and innovation makes the fourth pillar of sustainable development together with social, economic and environmental development. The critical question posed in this work is ‘how to achieve cultural sustainability and align all its elements in the same line?’. One of the options are cultural spaces created on the basis of partnerships between the public (state owned cultural domain) and civil society cultural organizations, as well as between the departments of culture, economy (tourism) and urban planning. These partnerships are important for several reasons. Firstly, some new organizational forms could be created, including new services, products and infrastructure. Also, it could form a new value for the community. Cultural spaces based on a partnership should be in accordance with certain guidelines. Namely, they need to appear as the 'bottom-up' initiative which encompasses the needs of the artists, the civil society organizations and the individuals in a certain field of culture. They also need to work for the common good, as well as be publicly accessible and open, and dispose of any exclusive property rights of the individual. These areas should be places of interaction between people, and between people and the created environment, and as such may represent a new form of infrastructure for independent cultural initiatives. In addition, it is important to mention that these cultural spaces can also play an educational role while creating the cultural habits of the population. Designed and implemented in this manner, cultural spaces could be presented even through a tourist offer, as spaces of a unified cultural production, and through a presentation that may contribute to creating specific experiences among visitors. As such, it largely contributes to the self-development of the visitors by establishing the communication and the contact with the everyday life of people at a certain destination, so that a deeper contact with the visited destination is achieved. The cultural properties of this sort could contribute to the creating of one of the pillars of the city's identity, as it is hugely significant for it to be tightly connected with the contemporary life and creativity in general.

They are based on the creative potential of individuals which is unified at the one place of both production and consumption. Such places could contribute to fostering local cultural expression, urban regeneration and local economy. Creative clusters represent places of vibrant city cultural life and are aimed predominantly at members of the local community. By participation and active involvement of local community, those places could become a spots of city's identity, an urban landmarks and a core of creativity and innovation.

A starting reference point would be an extreme critique of tourism as an activity that has a tendency to privilege some groups whilst excluding others and to tell stories in particularistic ways. In this manner, tourism is also considered as an ideological framing that has the power to reshape culture and nature to its own needs. I deliberately chose these critiques in order to lay the groundwork for observing relations between different social agents in the tourism public field and the result of their interaction in the tourism policy creation. Mostly, tourism is seen through pro-economic development approach to local tourism policy, focusing merely on the marketing and promotion of tourism. It happens that the resultant tourism policy directions in tourism are aligned with the interests of ‘big players’, namely city governments and major service providers. In order to illustrate the process of policy creation I would introduce the term ‘functionalism’ that emanates from architecture and urban planning and relates to the creation of the material acts of individuals. That means that notions of ‘spatial practice’ and ‘space’ need to be objectified in the spatial structures, produced by specialists of space (architects, urban planners, geographers, urban sociologists) and represented in spatial constructs. Through their mechanisms of exclusion they formulate the dominant ways of representing and exercising power over space. If we make a parallel with tourism planning and policy creation, ‘objectification’ could be reflected in creation of narratives that should serve the tourism industry. This is done by ‘specialists of tourism’, who are mainly appointed by the government authorities. Assigned to plan tourism as a commercial activity, they are faced with the task to unify different activities, identities and actors from different fields in order to create tourism product. By exercising this task, they are creating narratives and discursive practices that could, by perpetual reproduction, become regimes of power and knowledge that operate to filter, prioritize and promote particular local tourism policy actions and initiatives. In order to illustrate the different discursive practices in the local tourism policy creation, I would use the city of Novi Sad (Serbia) case study. I would aim to explain the notion of representation in and through tourism. The first type of representation refers to involvement of various social agents in decision-making and distribution of resources that are either invested or received from tourism activities. The latter type refers to engagement in the meaning-making processes that result in destination branding. Exclusion or inclusion in these two types of representation have different impacts: in the first case – distribution of wealth; in the second – shaping of cultural representations. By analyzing the research results I will try to shed some light on how the ‘functionalism approach’ excludes a variety of possible tourism stakeholders, while popularizing big players and dominant power holders, and legitimizing the existing power relations in the tourism field.

This paper understands tourism representation in two distinct, yet interrelated ways. First, various social agents are more or less involved in the decision-making and distribution of resources that are either invested or received from tourism activities. Second, same agents are also engaged in the meaning-making processes that result in destination branding, which further depicts various social groups in particular ways. Exclusion or inclusion in these two types of representation have different impacts – in the first case, distribution of wealth, in the second, shaping of cultural representations. We might call the first one – representation in tourism and the second one – representation through tourism. Both have been discussed by tourism scholars, although seldom combined. Tourism, planned and projected by dominant power-holders, creates a representation of " urban cultural tourism " that is highly selective and doesn't include all stakeholders. That means that the city identity tends to homogenize all existing identities by creating one, official narrative that suits the stakeholders already involved in tourism. The aim of this paper is twofold. In the conceptual domain, the paper problematizes the question of under-represented identities in urban cultural tourism offer. Practically, the paper tends to set the ground for wider stakeholder participation and their empowerment. We argue that estimating the current state of cultural not-for-profit associations' representation could be a starting point in awareness raising and transformative learning processes in understanding the need to confront the problems of under-representation. This paper employs qualitative methods – content analysis, focus group and interview to illustrate the current state of cultural not-for-profit associations' representation in tourism. The results show that there is an under-representation of such associations, both in decision-making and in tourism offer creation. The reasons are already established decision-making mechanisms and lack of information and possibilities for involvement in tourism offer. The results show that not-for-profit organizations consider themselves 'invisible' and misrepresented. Their production is, however, the most vibrant and dynamic, since they encompass multimedia elements – publishing, performances, exhibitions, education, ecology, design and other. Despite that, they often lack space for production and presentation, and are dependent on public funding. Tourism, as a potential field for their production's presentation has not been considered so far, which means that they have no relevant information on tourism offer inclusion. On the other hand, the public tourism sector is aware that there is a lack of representation of cultural not-for profit associations. The solutions they see as relevant is inclusion of those associations in the market field, so they can generate income and provide taxes. Taking this into account, this paper will try to bring closer tourism and city authorities, and not-for-profit cultural associations in order to consider their possible future scenarios in representation within the tourism field.

cultural resources of a particular community and encourages participation of its members in the process of tourist product
creation. The article operates in the planning phase and aims to give insights into the process of establishing the groundwork
for community-based tourism. The key element is documenting and illustrating everything that could be a part of what is
known as “traditional wisdom,” namely, the skills and knowledge of traditional life practices. The methods of case study,
content analysis, and observation of the village of Omoljica, Serbia, were used. The positive aspect of this locality is reflected
in the existing short-term initiatives of organizations and individuals engaging in preserving traditional practices, but without
systematic, long-term planning and management of community-based tourism, these individual efforts to revalue traditional
life practices would stay unrecognizable and invisible for visitors and stakeholders. Thus, the main goal of this article is to
understand the relation between short-term bottom-up initiatives and long-term top-down strategic planning of specific
ecotourism destinations, one that would embrace the traditional ways of rural community life. The contribution of this study,
in addition to documenting and illustrating “traditional wisdom” of the specific rural community placed in the protected area
which encompasses a particular local social system, will be reflected in the creation of a set of guidelines for sustainable, rural,
community-based ecotourism as a soft-driver development of protected areas near big cities of the postsocialist countries.
positive psychology theories and approaches, is then presented to the events reader. It is argued that the theories and approaches from this field could enhance understandings of how people anticipate events, enjoy events, and how they acquire psychological rewards and benefits from event experiences.
New directions for research about visitor motivations, humor, and cocreation of events as well as visitor well-being are proposed in the article. The role and the value of appreciative inquiry, a strength-based methodological approach, to inform future event planning and design is also discussed. It is argued that the contributions from positive psychology could help develop psychology of events scholarship in a meaningful and theoretically informed manner.
The basic structural elements of the models constructed would be universal and could be adapted for other urban contexts. The first model refers to public-civil partnership in the field of culture and the second model refers to public-civil-private partnership, where the field of culture is accompanied by the fields of tourism and urban planning.
