Komparativna analiza metoda istraživanja turizma židovske baštine

Turizam židovske baštine novi je nišni oblik turizma koji se javlja u Europi od 1990-ih kao posljedica ponovnoga shvaćanja kulturne i povijesne vrijednosti židovske baštine. Uključivanjem u turizam židovska baština postaje vidljiva destinacijska komponenta te dolazi do obnavljanja sinagoga, otvaranja židovskih muzeja, organizacija festivala, ali i gentrifikacije zapuštenih židovskih četvrti u mnogim europskim gradovima. Cilj je rada analizirati najčešće korištene metode, odabir dionika, elemenata, lokaciju istraživanja te prostorni obuhvat u istraživanjima turizma židovske baštine. Analiza je obuhvatila 28 znanstvenih radova iz baza podataka, pri čemu su analizirane korištene istraživačke metode. Rezultati su pokazali da su najčešće korištene metode u proučavanju turizma židovske baštine analiza sadržaja i metoda intervjua. Te su se metode pokazale prikladnima za utvrđivanje stanja i zastupljenosti židovske baštine u nekoj destinaciji, dok je za viši stupanj integriranosti židovske baštine u turizmu prikladnije koristiti druge metode.
Jewish heritage tourism is a relatively new form of niche tourism which appeared in Europe in the 1990s, because of a renewed understanding of cultural and historical values of Jewish heritage. By its inclusion in tourism, Jewish heritage has become a visible component in destinations, which has led to the renovation of synagogues, opening of Jewish museums, organization of festivals, and also to the gentrification of neglected Jewish quarters in many European cities. The goal of this paper is to analyse the most common methods, selection of stakeholders, elements, research locations and spatial scope used in studies of Jewish heritage tourism. The analysis includes 28 scientific papers from databases and focuses on the research methods used in those papers. The results show that the most common methods used in studies of Jewish heritage tourism are content analysis and interviews. These methods have proven to be suitable for determining the state and representation of Jewish heritage in each destination, while for a higher level of integration of Jewish heritage in tourism, other methods are more appropriate.
