▼ The New Zealand thoroughbred horse racing industry faces a number of event attendance issues. On the one hand, thousands of visitors reportedly favour thoroughbred horse racing events that feature throughout the November to March summer high-season, so the industry has relied on the economic advantages of concentrating entire marketing campaigns, funds and social activities across this period to maximise yearly revenue. On the other hand, the typical behaviour of a large number of young visitors suggests they do not regard the gambling or sporting features of thoroughbred horse racing highly. Consequently, racetracks focus on the kind of social activity design structures preferred by the majority of young visitors during the high-season. Yet, young visitors continue to visit these racetracks throughout the May to October low-season months. This study therefore identifies and evaluates the specific behaviours among these young low-season visitors, since they are evolving without a pathway that would otherwise encourage them to visit. Young low-season visitors are defined in this study as any male or female between the ages of twenty (20) and thirty (30), since they are usually the largest target of high-season marketing. A post-positivist, mixed-method approach was adopted to evaluate how closely young low-season visitor behaviour aligned with industry survey data and perceptions of typical high-season thoroughbred horse racing visitor interests. To create a background on the thoroughbred horse racing industry, a survey data set on the spending habits of over 12,000 racetrack visitors during the 2008/2009 high-season, a Visitor Survey data set on the various behaviours of over 3,000 visitors during the high-season and two (2) primary, qualitative in-depth interviews with industry members working at a national level were utilised. Once the image of high-season behaviour among young visitors had been portrayed, a nationwide closed-ended survey on young visitor motives, preferences, expectations and choices was conducted at six popular racetrack locations throughout the New Zealand thoroughbred horse racing low-season (May-July) to a sample size of 90 racetrack visitors between the age of 20 and 30. The low-season survey results determined the existence of an alternative behaviour. Most importantly, as much as 50% of the total sample visited primarily to gamble, while 59% of the total sample gambled on almost every race of the day. Moreover, as much as 49% of the total sample prefers gambling as a racetrack activity. Advisors/Committee Members: Bremner, Hamish (advisor), Graeupl, Alice (advisor).

▼ This thesis was born from my personal experiences and encounters with irate international tourists who visited the Taj Mahal and swore never to come back. Despite being advertised as one of the must-see locations in India, these days the Taj Mahal, a monument of love, is proving to be a disappointment to tourists from all over the world. Therefore, I decided to focus on understanding the nature of the current international tourist satisfaction at the Taj Mahal and the holistic management situation which is causing the poor satisfaction levels. With the rapid expansion and growth of tourism sectors on an international scale, the need to study visitor satisfaction and the constructs of effective stakeholder management and collaborative efforts are on the increase. Surprisingly, although the Taj Mahal is the most famous UNESCO World Heritage Site in India, the gap observed was that there is a lack of academic material and studies conducted on the Taj Mahal as a destination in regards to international/domestic visitor experience. This is despite there being a large quantity of literature on tourism and visitor experience regarding India as a whole. Consequently, to fill in the literature gap and the above-stated topics I utilized visitor satisfaction and collaboration theory through the analyses of expectancy-disconfirmation theory and management stakeholders at the Taj Mahal, respectively. I analysed expectancy-disconfirmation within visitor satisfaction theory from the international visitor’s point-of-view because if international tourists derive satisfaction from a destination then domestic visitors will experience the same. With the intention to increase visitor satisfaction levels, it is essential that the relevant stakeholders involved in the process effectively manage the destination. In order to understand how managers can effectively manage the stakeholders involved and the destination, this research overviews the concepts and constructs of stakeholder theory and collaboration theory; these are then applied with respect to the current managerial situation at the Taj Mahal. The research employs a mixed-method approach which utilises quantitative and qualitative methods. First, I collected quantitative data from international visitors who had just visited the Taj Mahal. One hundred surveys were usable. The structured questionnaire aimed to gauge the level of visitor satisfaction with respect to thirty-four attributes. This attribute set conforms to the tourism literature but also reflects my own prior experience of the Taj Mahal combined with tourist experiences posted on the internet. The visitor satisfaction levels were measured during three stages of the visit – pre-visit; during; post-visit – using Likert-like scale questions and one open-ended question. The data collected was analysed using SPSS (PASW statistics 18) and statistical tests such as mean analysis, gap analysis, and paired t-tests were conducted to produce statistical outputs. The result showed that international visitor satisfaction… Advisors/Committee Members: Johnston, Charles (advisor).

▼ Visitor research appears to be a practice which currently has limited application in New Zealand, especially within small museums. There are challenges in undertaking such research, which have led to an emphasis placed upon collecting visitation numbers. Visitor research is a practice which can be used by museums for a range of purposes, such as improving exhibitions, future planning, or for funding bids. In this way, promoting a range of visitor research methods can enhance the overall value of data gathered. Using Museums Aotearoa’s National Visitor Survey as a starting point, this research explores the needs of small museums with regard to visitor research, and also looks into the ways in which these needs might be met. Seven face-to-face interviews were conducted with key people in small museums and galleries. Diversity within the research sample ensured opportunities for comparison, building a picture of differences and similarities in their perceptions of visitor research. The interview responses generated themes around current and ideal practice, funding and management, and community value and involvement. Many reasons emerged as to why small museums and galleries do not carry out visitor research. Shortages of money and staff were two of the main barriers identified. These and other limitations, such as a lack of experience with implementation and analysis, need to be addressed before an institution can seriously undertake valuable visitor research. The findings suggest that within this group of small museums and galleries there is generally a limited understanding about visitor research and the usefulness of the collected data, often restricting practice. There are a number of benefits which would result from access to experts to educate and support visitor research practice. However, there is also the need for funding, possibly in the form of “start up” grants. If more visitor research was undertaken using such support mechanisms, it could ultimately improve the operation of small museums, by creating benchmarks for reporting and potentially increasing funding.

▼ Visitor use on the Going-to-the-Sun Road (GTSR) corridor is one of the most critical issues that Glacier National Park faces. According to the park’s General Management Plan, it should be addressed to safeguard the quality of park resources and the visitor experiences. 80% of park visitors travel along at least some part of the road, which is the primary park experience and one of the most spectacular highlights of the park. The road was built in early 1930, and now brings almost 2 million visitors annually into the heart of Glacier NP. Increased number of cars on this narrow historic road caused traffic problems such as crowding at pullouts and traffic jams, as well as safety issues. The situation with traffic worsened also because of the road reconstruction which was aimed to rehabilitate the road and solve traffic problems in the long run. A new 10-year reconstruction project started in 2007; as a part of it a free shuttle service was introduced. It poses important questions about impacts on visitor behavior, visitor use, and visitor experiences in the park. Understanding existing patterns and trends in the current context is important. This exploratory research attempts to identify and describe the nature of actual and desired experiences from the perspective of visitors. It reveals the primary dimensions of the experiences, discusses the factors that influence them, and talks about connections, common patterns and trends. Data collection and analysis for this study were guided by the method of Grounded Theory. Fifty in-depth interviews with diverse Glacier NP visitors in various parts of the GTSR corridor were conducted. Interviews were tape-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using a system of coding that identifies themes through which interviews can be organized, interpreted and presented. Through this process, three main categories of visitor experiences were identified: “Glacier as a Unique Setting”, “Motivations and Benefits”, and “Human Interactions”. They represent mainly social dimensions of visitor experiences and include some biophysical elements. Aspects that are associated with managerial dimensions are discussed separately with less depth within the forth category – “Managerial Issues”. The results of this study imply that there is a broad range of experiences occurring within this key corridor of Glacier NP. There is no single story and combination of the revealed dimensions; every visitor is different and his/her experience is unique. However, some common patterns exist, and several experience typologies are identified. Using tools such as the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum is recommended to embrace the diversity of experiences, while protecting the setting from changes in the conditions, and better preserving and improving different types of visitor experiences in Glacier NP.

▼ Protection of cultural resources and sustainable visitation have been significant issues in the management of historic sites since the early nineteenth-century when site managers at Mount Vernon discovered damages to architectural materials from relic hunters. As tourism and the number of historic sites grew in the twentieth century, professional architectural conservators also took note of physical damage due to increased tourism. However, the impacts themselves are often a confluence of external factors, such as individual visitor behavior and the interpretation and management strategies that provide access. Thus, with the goal of sustainable visitation, the present problem is to understand the correlation between visitor use and subsequent material damage and methods that afford a better understanding of spatial distribution patterns while also keeping visitation sustainable. Comprehensive understanding of the interconnection of damage and site usage affords better site accessibility and damage mitigation without restricting access, while from a historic resource perspective also balancing the retention of significance and integrity with visitation. One potential method for a better understanding of visitor use and spatial relationships to physical damage is GPS Visitor Tracking (GVT). Derived primarily from studies designed to assess visitor use at national parks and outdoor areas (Hallo et al., 2005 and 2012; D’Antonio et al. 2010; D'Antonio and Monz, 2010; Beeco, et al., 2014; and Taczanowska, 2014) various approaches to the technology have application with understanding visitor use at historic sites as well. Using Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello as a case study, this research uses GPS systems, heat mapping, and conditions assessments to help understand patterns of visitor use and material damage. This research explores how visitors behave in a space and how patterns of density and congestion correlation with frequency and type of material damage. Geographic behavioral analysis offers insight into the human factors that influence material degradation. The creation of a processed-based framework for visitor impact assessment developed from this research works to assist historic sites in enhancing plans for sustainable visitation and the protection of historic materials. As use continues to change at historic sites this research will help preservation professionals and planners understand the human factor characteristics of visitor impact, identify issues that could increase the risk of visitor impact, and recommend improvements that may reduce those risks ultimately leading to better preservation planning and management.

▼ The project aims at designing a visitor research toolkit for Museum Catharijneconvent, a museum of religious art in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The project includes exploring a new experience of attending visitor research and the supplementary toolkit for MCC staffs to conduct it. The project would also be a practice of utilising two museum experience related theories, the Falk & Dierking’s identity-related motivations and Relevance by Play.The project is conducted following the double-diamond design process model. The research phase is for Diverge and Converge, including 3 main research tasks in parallel. 1. Interviews and context mapping are conducted to learn the context of MCC and the condition of visitor research. Based on the result, visitor research for finding inspiration for the theme of a temporary exhibition is chosen to be the focus in this project.2. Online questionnaires and interviews are conducted to learn visitor’s opinions about visitor research of museums. The result revealed that visitors have relatively positive attitudes towards the museums they visit. They regard an interesting experience and feedbacks as incentives of attending visitor research. 3. Interviews were used to learn MCC staffs’ attitudes towards the two theories and find out their possible roles in this project. Falk & Dierking’s identity-related motivations could be embedded in the toolkit as MCC staffs are familiar with it. While Relevance by Play might help the design of new visitor research experience directly in this project.Building upon this, the design goal was formulated:Design a toolkit for visitor researches to find inspiration for the developing temporary exhibition and provide visitors with a participatory museum experience through the visitor research during their visit in MCC.The exploration and ideation phase was for Develop, to discover different design possibilities. With ideas gathered from creative sessions, 3 primary concepts were generated. After a quick evaluation with stakeholders, one of the concepts was chosen for further development. For Deliver, there are 2 phases, Concept development and Validation & iteration.The final design concept turns the visitor research into an interactive mini-exhibition which can attract visitors. It includes a designed visitor journey of attending the visitor research, a tentative space for its conduction, a platform for visitors to share opinions and a management platform for MCC exhibition team to monitor the research.For validation, user tests were conducted with potential visitors and MCC staffs. Walkthrough video of the desired visitor’s journey was used to help testers to understand the context and experience of attending the visitor research. Interactive prototypes of the interfaces of the sharing platform and the management platform were used to test their usability. SUS, UEQ, 7-point Likert Scale and interviews were combined to gain feedback. Then a quick iteration was made based on the result. Finally, a discussion was given about the contribution,… Advisors/Committee Members: Vermeeren, A.P.O.S. (mentor), Stappers, P.J.

▼ Zoo officials have for many years participated in ex situ conservation activities. Recently however, a growing number of zoos have shown an interest in becoming involved with in situ conservation projects. One such zoo is the North Carolina Zoological Park (NCZP) in Asheboro, NC. NCZP officials have committed to several of these projects and are aware of their importance. However, little is known about how visitors regard these activities. The two research questions asked were: 1) Are visitors aware of the NCZPÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s involvement in in situ conservation efforts? and 2) Do patronsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ of the NCZP support those efforts? Three hypotheses were identified. These included: H1: visitors with an increased awareness of the zooÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s involvement in in situ conservation would provide a greater amount of support for these projects, H2: membership status would not affect a visitorÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s level of declared support for in situ conservation, and H3: membership status would affect a visitorÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s level of monetary support for in situ conservation. A survey instrument was developed using a cross-sectional design. The survey focused on four key elements including contributions (monetary support), declared support for local and international projects, understanding of in situ conservation, and visitor relationships with the zoo. The survey was conducted on-site at the NCZP in June and July 2007. Tests of statistical significance and measures of association indicated that awareness played a statistically significant role in how much declared support a visitor had for a project, but had little to no role in how much money visitors contributed on an annual basis. Findings also indicated that membership status was not related to declared support and therefore this relationship was not statistically significant. Finally findings indicated that the relationship between membership status and annual monetary contributions was statistically significant. Recommendations for the NCZP were made based on the studyÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s findings. Advisors/Committee Members: Toddi A. Steelman, Committee Co-Chair (advisor), Michael Stoskopf, Committee Co-Chair (advisor), Larry D. Gustke, Committee Member (advisor).

▼ Managers of national parks are tasked with balancing resource protection and quality visitor experiences. Such an undertaking is difficult, as park systems are dynamic and elaborate. To better understand park systems, spatial and temporal dynamics of visitor use and flow is paramount. The purpose of this dissertation was to understand the spatial and temporal dynamics of visitor experience in Grand Teton National Park. Data for these studies were collected within the Moose-Wilson Corridor of Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming in the summers of 2014 and 2015. Concepts and methods related to spatial-temporal dynamics of visitor experience in parks and protected areas are introduced in the first chapter. The results are presented in chapters 2 through 4, which were written as stand-alone manuscripts, and then summarized in chapter 5. Chapter 2 investigated the relationship of visitor motivations and their travel behaviors within a trail system in Grand Teton National Park. Results indicated that there are six different motivation groups hiking within the trail system. Significant differences were found among different visitor characteristic variables of the six motivation groups. There were also differences in where the groups traveled within the trail system. Chapter 3 analyzed the spatial-temporal components of visitors stopping behavior along the Moose-Wilson Road. Significant spatial-temporal patterns were identified. Additionally, local and non-local residents were different in their stopping behaviors along the road. Local residents tended to stop in park-maintained parking lots, whereas non-local residents tended to stop along the road, as well as in park-maintained parking lots. Chapter 4 examined visitor preferences in regards to traffic flow and wait time at various locations within the Moose-Wilson Corridor. Results showed that the most important variable to visitors was parking availability, followed by traffic volume, wait time at the entrance, and average speed limit. Results also indicated that residency (local or non-local resident), mode of transportation (in a vehicle or hiking), and age significantly influenced visitor preference. Overall, findings indicate visitor motivations, spatial-temporal dynamics, visitor characteristics, and visitor preference are vital to informing management strategies that provide for optimal visitor experiences.

▼ Consistent with Attention Restoration Theory, restorative experiences can help people recover from the effects of life stresses. Research suggests that noise can interfere with the restorative process or with factors necessary for restorative outcomes, and there is reason to believe that pleasant sounds such as classical music or nonthreatening sounds of nature can enhance restorative outcomes. Research demonstrates that a visit to a museum or park can result in a restorative experience. The impact of extraneous sounds in such settings might depend on the type of sound and the purpose of the setting. The settings for the current study were an art exhibit and a natural history exhibit at The Wildlife Experience, a museum in Parker, Colorado that focuses on various aspects of wildlife. The art exhibit (Some Like it Hot, Cold Wet, Dry), displayed paintings, sculpture, and taxidermy about wildlife in four climates, and was frequented by enthusiasts of diverse ages, especially adults. The natural history exhibit (CritterCam), contained many different interactive displays based on photos and information gained from cameras mounted on wild animals, focused on wildlife, and tended to attract families with young children. Each day as researchers observed visitors and conducted an exit interview with them (n = 430 art, 433 natural history), either no added sounds were piped into the exhibit (control condition), or a soundtrack of either human voices, instrumental classical music, or natural sounds (birdsong) was piped into the gallery space at a low (approximately 50dB(A)) or high (approximately 60dB(A)) volume level. In general, in the art exhibit natural sounds and classical music yielded the highest dwell times, engagement, satisfaction, and knowledge gain, and human voices, especially louder voices, yielded the worst outcomes. In the natural history exhibit the ambient noise (e.g., children's voices and other crowd noise) somewhat masked the added soundtracks, and there were fewer effects of the added soundtracks; visitors in the control condition (i.e., no added sound) experienced the best outcomes when compared to the other sound delivery conditions, in terms of longer dwell times and lower ratings of noisiness. In terms of dispositional measures, in the art exhibit, extraversion was positively correlated with self-reported knowledge gain, satisfaction, and restoration; and need for cognition was positively correlated with knowledge gain, satisfaction, and dwell time. In the natural history exhibit, extraversion was positively correlated with engagement and knowledge gain; and noise sensitivity was negatively correlated with satisfaction and knowledge gain. Results are consistent with a congruence interpretation: sounds congruent with visitor expectations of an exhibit are more likely to yield a restorative experience.

▼ The aim of this study is to illustrate and analyze the future visions of museums and what the future visitor of museums will be. This will be done through a discourse analysis supplemented with interviews with persons involved in the museum field. The questions at issue are how the future of museums is discussed, expressed, and described in the future visions of the for this study chosen museum actors. Furthermore this study will look into what role the visitor of museums is going to take in the future of museums. It will also study how museums should conduct themselves to the visitor of future museums. And finally, what do future museums seek to achieve in the future? Museums of today are reaching out towards their visitors and hence the museums have gone from being storage for cultural heritage to become active learning environments for the people. Museums seek to achieve a sustainable future in the social-, environmental-, and economical area. Diversity should also be developed within the activities of the museums, both when it comes to qualifications and to work for development in society as a whole. Knowledge of the Swedish society and its history are likely to play a great role in the future of museums seeing that museums can be looked upon as an institution of knowledge. In this respect the cooperation with universities and colleges are of great importance since it gives an increased credibility for the visitor both when it comes to knowledge and research, as well as democracy and diversity. In this time of change lies also the change in the role of the visitor. The future visitor of museums will no longer play the passive part of the listener and recipient of information. The future visitor will play a more active role in the process and product of the museums. This change is in part a result of the digital technology that today is a great part of people’s lives. Museums develop the individual visitor’s motivation and involvement in the community as a bridge between the past, the present and a future.

▼ This thesis, Taking Root, seeks to investigate how architecture can utilize different techniques to introduce people to a landscape, specifically those who have an uncomfortable relationship with nature due to inequities in access to quality green space, a cultural distancing from nature due to historical acts of violence, or an increasingly urban and work focused lifestyle. Research shows that time spent in nature improves mental and physical health outcomes, and the disparity of access or quality creates an issue of injustice. A proposed Visitor Center in Rock Creek Park, in Washington, DC, seeks to remedy that by acting as a slow transition from park to city and back again, and down into the canyon and back again. The building’s strategy for facilitating an introduction can be broken up into three categories: how the building relates to the environment, what the building reveals to visitors, and what it tells visitors. First, the building is designed to reveal the power of the environment, the sun, the rain, and the snow, on the façade through the careful selection of materials specifically for their weathering properties. In addition, the use of a native vine allows the building to change colors through the four seasons of the park, and mirror the forest that surrounds it. The combination of these techniques, plus minimizing the environmental impact of the building through stormwater management, a green roof for local pollinators, bird-safe glass, and reducing solar gain exposes the critical relationship between architecture and environment. Secondly, the visitor center reveals the landscape through the adoption of techniques found in nature that facilitate a powerful introduction to a place, and formalizes them into the architecture of the building and experience of the visitors. The techniques to promote familiarity with the park include controlling the pace with a series of long, curving paths and embracing the rhythm of the topography with ramps and the seasons with a pattern of spaces for activity and rest, teasing with glimpses through the tree-like screen and through the glass gills, framing the view into the park. In addition, the building strives to amplify liminal space, a threshold between the old and new, architecture and nature, which exists in the glass corner gills. These corners jutting into the park, lit by a skylight, and fed fresh air by automated ventilation louvers, allows for a person to have a more intimate experience, in a way that really exists outside of the building, but in a way that provides the comfort of familiarity and not being quite all the way in nature either. Finally, the building also is responsible for telling the visitors what they need to know by educating them on the important cultural and natural history of the park. The architecture supports the education of visitors in a flexible and non-technological way, using a variety of surfaces to display information to be seen and touched, to encourage the slowing down of minds and bodies to facilitate the transition from the… Advisors/Committee Members: Piedmont-Palladino, Susan C.

I denna uppsats tar vi upp frågan om besökarens upplevelse och hur detta mäts på olika museer. Vi har avgränsat oss till Stockholms läns museer. Syftet är att se vilka undersökningsmetoder som finns för att mäta besökarens upplevelse och hur dessa metoder används. Vi har även tagit reda på vad som behövs för att besökaren ska bli tillfredsställd med ett besök. För att uppnå tillfredsställelse hos besökaren tar vi upp aspekterna lojalitet, sinnen och förväntningar. Vid insamlingen av det empiriska materialet för denna uppsats har vi använt oss av e-postintervjuer och tre djupgående intervjuer med personer som har goda kunskaper inom undersökningsmetoder. Med hjälp av våra respondenter och den teoretiska information som insamlats har vi sammanställt ett resultat. Resultatet som framkommit påvisar att enkäter och personlig kontakt är det som främst används för att mäta en besökares upplevelse. Personlig kontakt, interaktion och förväntningar hjälper besökaren att uppnå tillfredsställelse och på så sätt skapas en lojalitet mellan besökaren och museet.

In this essay we have raised the question of visitor experience and how this is measured at various museums. We have delimited our purpose by observing the Stockholm county museums. This is to make sure which inquiry methods the museums are using to measure the visitor experience and how these methods are being used. Also we wanted to find out what is needed for the visitor to be satisfied with the visit. In order to achieve the satisfaction of the visitor we have taken loyalty, senses and expectations into consideration. To collect the empirical material for this paper we have used e-mail interviews and three profound interviews with people who have good knowledge of inquiry methods. With the help of our respondents and the theoretical information collected, we have compiled the results. The result that has emerged is demonstrating that surveys and personal contact are mainly used to measure a visitor's experience. Personal contact, interaction and expectations will help the visitor achieve satisfaction, and thus created a loyalty between the visitor and the museum.

▼ Park and natural resource managers are charged with a dual mission, to protect natural resources for future generations and to provide for the appropriate public enjoyment of these resources. A significant component of this responsibility involves understanding visitors' experiences. Various techniques for collecting data have been used to explore and understand park and trail visitors' perceptions and experiences. One of the more applied techniques developed to explore visitor preference and perception, which has been used successfully in the outdoor recreation field, is visitor-employed photography (VEP). VEP is a visual technique that takes a camera out of the researcher's hands and places it into the control of the visitor (participant). Due to VEP's potential for assessing what people find important, it was employed in this qualitative study to examine visitors' perceptions and to determine how their perceptions affected overall recreation experiences along a 2.9-mile segment of the Appalachian Trail (AT) in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM). A purposive sample of n=33 visitors was selected for this study. The study consisted of two parts: a visitor employed photography (VEP) exercise and a post-hike interview. Data analyses involved constant comparison (photo logs and interviews) and content analysis (photos). In addition, enumerative strategies were used to supplement the descriptive data. Analysis of the photographs (n=274) and photograph logs (n=33) found that participants noticed both negative and positive aspects of the trail environment. In addition, 83% of the pictures taken contained attributes that visitors liked and 17% of the pictures contained attributes that were disliked. Five perceptual themes emerged — nature-oriented details, scenic values, management influences, presence of other people, and depreciative behavior. However, from analysis of the transcribed interviews I found that noticing these elements did not detract significantly from the participants' overall outdoor experiences. In conclusion, this method has great potential in understanding visitors' perceptions and experiences in outdoor recreation settings and guiding future visitor behavior research.

Dans les années 1980-1990, le cinéma devient une stratégie majeure dans les pratiques artistiques autant pour des raisons de changements technologiques que des effets de génération. Des questions, dès lors, se posent, notamment celle de savoir ce que le cinéma fait à l'espace d'exposition. Le cinéma et l'exposition sont des espaces différents, régis par des règles de fonctionnement distinctes. À l'appui d'un corpus international couvrant la période 1986-2016 et en revenant sur l'historiographie de ces pratiques, la thèse se propose d'étudier les effets de ce déplacement du cinéma dans les pratiques artistiques. Des modifications portées à l'espace d'exposition par l'importation du dispositif cinématographique (écran, projecteur, salle de cinéma, séance) aux changements opérés dans le passage d'un spectateur de cinéma à celui du visiteur d'exposition, on remarque qu'il ne s'agit pas de reproduire le cinéma à l'exposition, mais au contraire de s'en servir pour reconsidérer le rapport à l'œuvre. S'observe enfin, chez ces mêmes artistes, après un déplacement du cinéma vers l'exposition, un mouvement vers l'espace public : le développement d'un travail hors de l'institution culturelle, vers un public différent, posant la question de la portée sociale de l'œuvre. L'enjeu est aussi de replacer ces travaux dans une histoire interdisciplinaire de l'art au croisement des pratiques performatives, des travaux des premiers vidéastes, mais aussi du cinéma expérimental.

Due to technological changes and the rising generation of the 80s and 90s, cinema became a main strategy in visual arts, while impacting and transforming the exhibition space. Then some questions may be asked. Particularly, what cinema does to the exhibition space? Cinema and exhibition are two different spaces with distinct ways of functioning. This thesis, focusing on an international corpus from 1986 to 2016, goes back over the historiography of this subject and analyses the effects of the gradual bursting of cinema in the visual arts, such as modifications in the exhibition space (and the moving of the cinematic device - screen, projector, movie theatre, screening, etc.), changes of the viewer's outlook (from spectator to visitor), etc. These artists do not try to reproduce cinema in the exhibition, but on the contrary, intend to question its relationship to the artwork. In the end, the shift from cinema to exhibition reveals a desire to reach the public space, and, outside the cultural institutions, to enthrall a different audience. Such practices lead to consider the social impact of the artwork. This thesis also aspires to replace the works of these artists into an interdisciplinary history of art, at the junction of performing arts, the works of the first video artists and experimental cinema.

▼ Destination image is acknowledged as a key factor in destination choice and visitor satisfaction. However, despite thirty years’ research from a variety of perspectives into destination image and image formation, the impact of actual visitation has been largely neglected and understanding of the processes involved in that change is therefore limited. Visitor experience is increasingly recognised as being unique to the individual, leading to calls for research strategies taking into account the visitor’s perspective. This study uses a phenomenological approach to investigate visitor-destination interactions, capturing visitors’ lived experience as expressed in their holiday narratives. Applying a double hermeneutic approach to analysing interview data, this study outlines the elements of destination experience and shows how the meaning encapsulated in the individual’s destination image is mediated by his/her stock of knowledge, the particular combination of predispositions, motivations and characteristics, as well as by their in-destination interactions and encounters with people and place. It develops the ideal typifications of Gourmet, Grazer and Gourmand to help explain the complex and dynamic interaction between visitor characteristics and behaviour and extends our understanding of the role of other tourists in destination experience by illuminating tourist-tourist interactions and revealing the compromises necessitated by the presence of other tourists. By generating insight into the complex and dynamic interaction between anticipations, motivations and predispositions, and the way in which this interaction affects the visitor’s experience of people and place in a destination, the study has demonstrated the utility of the phenomenological approach in understanding visitor interactions. It has also resulted in a model which explains the processes whereby the visitor makes sense of his/her experience and transmits that experience to others. This can be used by academics and practitioners to further understand the benefits and attractions of existing destinations and to predict the attraction of potential destinations, as well as to promote greater understanding of tourist-host interactions among destination industry providers.
