| Abstract | : | Cities have a common characteristic in the form of land utilization, which is dominated by built-up areas. Tourism is an essential aspect of city development because it can involve the identity of a city. Historical buildings, landmarks, shopping centers, and museums are generally interesting objects for tourists to visit. Yogyakarta, which is the research area, is synonymous with a city of culture and a city of students. Knowledge of the spatial clustering patterns of tourists can be one of the references in urban development. Social media data is used in this study as an alternative to direct data collection, which requires considerable resources. Flickr and Twitter are used as proxies to determine the distribution of tourists. The DBSCAN and HDBSCAN clustering algorithms are used to determine the center of tourist activity. Furthermore, Flickr data will be analyzed temporally to determine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on tourism in Yogyakarta City. The clustering of social media data results shows that there are several city sceneries hotspot in Yogyakarta City, beside the already well-known tourist attractions. Apart from city scenery, several other tourist hotspots can be revealed through the clustering process such as accommodation, shopping centres, entertainment, and souvenirs, which also support tourism activities. The impact of Covid-19 on tourism in Yogyakarta City can be reflected through the number of uploaded photos by tourists on Flickr, which has decreased since March 2020. |
