Airbnb-hosts as players in new urban tourism: motivation in participating from 16 the supply-side perspective 17 Urban tourism does not only occur near major sights. Leisure and tourism practices of visitors and 18 residents alike are shifting towards inner city residential neighbourhoods, a phenomenon discussed 19 as new urban tourism. At the same time, Airbnb has appeared on the urban stage and has enabled 20 visitors to stay in such urban areas for longer periods of time. This article takes this discourse as its 21 departure point; however, it broadens the perspective to include the supply side, which up to now 22 has been little considered. Through the digital peer-to-peer distribution platform, urban residents 23 become Airbnb hosts and promote their private living environment on the internet. Using the exam24 ple of Berlin, the article aims to identify the different backgrounds and motives that drive Airbnb 25 hosts to rent out their own private spaces. The results of 25 qualitative, partially structured inter26 views illustrate that tourism leitmotifs are mentioned rather superficially. In light of the societal con27 text, Airbnb has transformed into a contemporary instrument to support these hosts in meeting their 28 diverse needs in a highly flexible society. 29

This article explores the regulation of urban tourism in Barcelona, one of metropolises of Europe most affected by tourism. The case study begins by examining the formation of the tourism „growth coalition“ that emerged after the 1992 Olympics, establishing a tourism-oriented local regime of accumulation. The regime was given credence by a discourse that claimed it would benefit the whole city. With the growing externalities that the tourism growth engine produced, this regime became increasingly criticised. Indeed it helped put in power a political coalition that promised to end the consensus with the growth coalition. A final chapter discusses the new local administration’s approaches to regulating tourism, and analyses the effects of this change on the hegemony of the growth coalition with regard to residents’ interests.

Voluntary work is society-wide encountered and generally desired. It takes place in the local vicinity, on a global level or in the worlds of the networked computer. A significant proportion of voluntary work occurs in the context of formal organizations. Yet despite these observations the extent of geographical studies about the different forms of voluntary work is limited. Furthermore the question what difference organizational structures make with regard to voluntary work has received little attention. The paper advocates a socio-geographical and organizational perspective on organizations of voluntary work. On the empirical basis of a program of voluntary work it will be claimed, that organizational structures which might be labelled as control projects are new and notable.

Over the past decade, more than 400 (post)migrant women in Berlin-Neukolln have been educated to become so-called ‚neighbourhood mothers‘. Their main task is to advise local (post)migrant families who are considered to lack social integration in household related practices and to motivate them to enrol their children in pre-school institutions. Hardly any other integration project in Germany is currently attracting more attention. Using the concept of intersectionality, this paper examines how the neighbourhood mothers position themselves in relation to the project’s contents and methods of integration and how the project influences their perception of their everyday environment. The paper reveals a striking paradox in this policy of urban integration that tends to reproduce discriminating categories but also politicises some of the neighbourhood mothers.
