Obviously this can partly be explained by the location of the historical buildings and sites, but it also demonstrates that this morphological aspect of urban space that makes it prone to tourism, is strengthened by this functional aspect of the urban fabric.
Empirical studies analyzing the link between urban morphology — cultural assets in particular — and the space use pattern of visitors tend to be rare and, as a general rule, they emphasize the uniqueness of the local context (Lew and McKercher, 2006). The studies carried out in Israeli cities by Noam Shoval and his colleagues are good examples (Shoval and Raheh, 2004; Shoval and Isaacson, 2007b). The most frequent finding is that historical cities include concentration areas of tangible heritage elements and typical cityscapes, which are considered to be the main magnets in the Tourism Opportunity Spectrum (TOS) (Jansen-Verbeke and Lievois, 2004; Butler and Woldbrootz, 1991).
Understanding the way people, place and product interact is a prime condition for a strategic and sustainable decision-making process on the part of public authorities with respect to their actions as heritage stewards.
