This paper is building on earlier studies on developing the existing
concept of time geography in order to better understand the
logic of visitor activities in time and space (Hägerstrand, 1970).
Whyte (1988) used time-lapse photography to chart the anatomy
of the city. Previous research shows the value of analysing
visitor behaviour using a Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
tracking system (Harder Hovgesen et al., 2008).
Compared to existing methods, GPS tracking contains added
values like providing accurate and valid information of quantitative
spatio-temporal data. Therefore, it makes a clear contribution
to the lack of knowledge about processes (movement patterns
of people) while it improves static and dynamic
visualisation. Changes in behaviour can be measured before,
during and after investments in public space. Tourist behaviour
in time and space - or geovisualisation - is extensively discussed
by (Shoval & Isaacson, 2010).
