Leisure, Spatiality, Metropolis, TouristificationAbstract
Amusement and water parks are leisure structures spread over all continents, constituting important touristic spaces. Brazil also takes part in this system and presents important examples for analysis. Therefore, as premise, we understand the diffusion process of amusement and water parks as inducer-induced to broader processes, such as touristification, urbanization and metropolization of space. We think of a model of society where leisure conditions the reproduction of urban. As databases, they are used in the Themed Entertainment Association’s report, the Global Attractions Attendance. The parks’ location logic, specially regarding regional and metropolitan parks, was analyzed via multi-scale cartography. The analytical approach highlights the possible relation between urban and touristic by reflecting the role of these parks in the constitution of spaces similar to touristic complexes in urban-metropolitan expansion areas.
