“…A social network is generally described in terms of two components, a set of actors and a set of relationships connecting pairs of these actors (Tindall & Wellman, 2001). The relationship ties represent "flows of resources" (Carrasco, Hogan, Wellman, & Miller, 2008, p. 963).…”

Mobile connectivity enables the adoption of new ways to connect with social networks which are changing how we might, and could, seek support. In the tourism domain we increasingly blend online and offline presence to engage with social networks in the spatial location, at a distance and across time. This paper explores the forms of community that exist in physical tourism contexts, contexts not previously analysed through a community lens, and explores how mobile technology is creating connections within and beyond existing social networks. It examines how sustainable tourism can be enhanced by mobile connectivity through new spaceÀtime practices and using ephemeral interpersonal relationships to harness niche groups to create bottom-up social systems interested in sharing experiences, ideas and resources. Special attention is given to the concept of gelling socialities which proposes a less ridged network structure, and to the need to understand the increasingly liquid social dynamics of mobile social interactions. The paper adds to the theories surrounding community, social ties and tourism's value to society. It draws on data from in-depth interviews undertaken while designing and testing a collaborative travel app. It contributes to growing research into the new technologies increasingly available for sustainable tourism marketing and implementation.

“…Cependant, les travaux de Barry Wellman et de Dorothy Smith ont été considérés comme correspondant à cette prescription. Wellman et ses collègues ont avancé (Richardson et Wellman, 1985 ;Tindall et Wellman, 2001) que l'approche structurelle d'analyse des réseaux est particulièrement pertinente à la situation canadienne de dépendance, donc que sa prégnance au Canada, à la fois français et anglais, souvent en lien avec la tradition d'économie politique, n'est pas fortuite. Ils notent aussi, cependant, qu'il s'agit d'une entreprise internationale à laquelle ont adhéré plusieurs autres régions du monde, sans surprise puisque le Canada n'est certainement pas la seule société aux prises avec des relations de dépendance.…”

“…The data were analyzed from a Marxist viewpoint in a highly sophisticated manner by Michael Ornstein with various colleagues and students. Much of this was network analysis, an area of strength in Canadian sociology (see Tindall and Wellman 2001). A series of impressive papers was published.…”
