RESUMO

Este artigo pretende refletir sobre a constituição de novos olhares sobre a cidade e o espaço urbano a partir de uma experiência educativa no âmbito do lazer e do turismo realizado por estudantes do curso técnico em Guia de Turismo do Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo (IFES) ­ campus Vitória, ofertado na modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA). A partir de uma reflexão teórica sobre os limites e potencialidades do lazer, bem como sua importância para a concretização do direito à cidade, buscou-se demonstrar como uma experiência educativa relacionada à elaboração de roteiros turísticos urbanos contribuiu para que os estudantes, em sua maioria, de bairros de periferia, ressignificassem sua visão sobre a cidade, passando a valorizar sua identidade cultural, espaços de vivência e antigos espaços de lazer.

This article aims to reflect on the constitution of new views of the city, and the urban space from an educational experience in the field of leisure and tourism carried out by students of the technical course in Tourism Guide of the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo (Ifes) - Vitória campus, offered in the Education Program for Young People and Adults (EJA). From a theoretical reflection on the limits and potentialities of leisure, as well as its importance for the realization of the right to the city, we sought to demonstrate how an educational experience related to the elaboration of urban tourist itineraries helped students, most of whom from suburban neighborhoods, redefine their views of the city, valuing their cultural identity, living spaces, and former recreation areas.

RESUMO

The tourism sector has an essential role in the sustainable development of a country. Therefore, in this research we propose a methodology to identify tourist routes that integrate the most important Points Of Interest in a region taking up as criteria profile characteristics in common between the sites evaluated using clustering techniques. To attain this goal, firstly, a literature review focused on compiled information used for location selection and evaluation in attraction potential sites. Then, clustering techniques are applied to identify similarities between sites, and finally, a layout of tourist routes is presented. We applied this methodology using data from a Region in Colombia. As a result, eight factors are proposed: Natural, Cultural, Tourist Plant, Infrastructure, Superstructure, Accessibility, Human and Tourist Capital and Security. From the second phase, three tourist groups were identified with three tourism factors for each of them; and then, two examples of tourist routes are proposed.
