Urban Gastronomy in the Cultural Consumption Practices of Tourists
type: item
description: This article analyzes the factors correlating with tourists' gastronomic choices and their experiences with urban gastronomy gained during their travels. Particular attention is paid to exploring the sociocultural and economic needs of tourists in relation to food consumption as a cultural phenomenon in the modern city. The study design combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. In the first stage, empirical data was collected using within an online population survey (N = 1,369, quota sampling with controls for gender and age). In the second stage, the authors conducted focus groups with informants with significant tourism experience, including those with gastronomic purposes (n1 = 6 and n2 = 7). The focus group guide included questions aimed at clarifying the informants' motivations and their personalized experience of cultural consumption of urban gastronomy during tourist trips. The analysis revealed that tourists have heightened expectations for local gastronomy prioritizing economic needs (food quality, affordability) and sociocultural aspects of service (friendliness, personalized service, and hospitality). Tourists seek positive experiences through authentic encounters with the urban environment, driven by a search for "peak" experiences during travel that allow them to transcend the ordinary and gain a personalized experience of exploring urban spaces. More than a third of respondents, in addition to the traditional functions of food, demonstrate a desire for the entertaining context of urban gastronomy, unconventional food consumption attributes, and new experiences. These additional meanings of urban gastronomy are reflected in tourist narratives and reflections on their experiences. The study identified the risks of interpretative distortions in the perception of urban gastronomy, and the substitution of genuine sociocultural experiences with pseudo-models of gastronomic practices. Prioritizing entertainment and the stereotypical nature of tourist …

Mapping Community Structure at the City Scale Using Social Media Data
type: item
description: Urban projects, at least in their fundamental value principles, imply the involvement of citizens and their self-organized groups in the discussion and adoption of democratic, fair, and inclusive decisions regarding urban changes. Understanding the interests and values that unite communities of citizens, the urban spaces with which they are connected, the local expertise they accumulate, as well as potential conflicts between them and other stakeholders of urban processes, is the goal of mapping urban communities within urban projects. However, within the framework of applied projects, financial, time, and human resources for comprehensive field research are limited. In this case, the solution may be to identify those communities that are united through digital social networks and demonstrate agency in the digital space of the city. This article proposes a unique approach to mapping urban communities based on open data from city social networks. This approach includes searching, structuring, and classifying urban communities, as well as describing their activity indicators and forms of activity. This approach was developed through applied urban projects and is data-driven (that is, based on data collected and processed during applied research). The developed typology of digital urban communities is open and can be modified to meet the specific needs of new projects.

Adaptation of the Territory Selection Methodology for Integrated Development Using Spatial Analysis Methods
type: item
description: The article regards the problem of housing inequality caused by differences in the living conditions of citizens in St. Petersburg, resulting from the adopted urban development model. Even though a large volume of dilapidated and hazardous housing is accumulated in the established city's districts, most territories allocated for integrated development in St. Petersburg are located on peripheral, undeveloped lands. This contributes to urban sprawl and does not address the problem of outdated housing renovation, provoking growing inequality in housing quality and infrastructure provision between the central part of the city and new districts located on the outskirts of the city. As a first step toward addressing housing inequality, this article proposes adapting the Ministry of Construction's methodology for selecting areas for integrated development. The author suggests supplementing the spatial analysis of the city territory using GIS tools with an assessment based on the criteria of renovation feasibility, which involves (1) an assessment of the degree of residential buildings dilapidation based on data on completed major repairs and (2) an assessment of the availability of free space in the area for the construction of a starter apartment building in order to preserve existing communities without relocation to other areas. The proposed methodology is tested using the example of St. Petersburg to identify the most attractive areas for the implementation of a high-quality transformation of the housing stock and changing the overall vector of urban development. The adapted methodology can be applied in other regions of the Russian Federation, since it uses data from open sources. Acknowledgments. The author expresses his gratitude to sociologist and Head of the Civil Engineering research bureau Petr Ivanov for valuable comments and assistance in uncovering the research problem.

Perception of Social Determinants of Health in the Megapolis: Muscovites vs “New Citizens”
type: item
description: In the context of urbanization and growing urban populations, creating a comfortable and healthy urban environment has become a priority for government and administrative bodies. Modern approaches to urban planning require considering the connections between urban infrastructure, the healthcare system, and the principles of public health and preventive medicine. The aim of this study is to analyze the perceptions of health determinants in the megacity among native Muscovites and "new citizens", i.e. people who have recently moved to the capital. The study bases on the data coming from both quantitative (population survey) and qualitative (focus group) empirical stages. The authors pay particular attention to the analysis of focus group interviews, transcribed and processed using neural network-based linguistic analysis technology, which helped to identify semantic emphases, thematic structures, and hidden associative connections in the respondents' answers. The study reveals significant differences in the perceptions of the urban environment between the two groups. Native Muscovites emphasize accessibility, comfort, preservation of architectural heritage, and developed infrastructure, while "new citizens" focus on environmental issues, transportation, air quality, and conditions for a healthy lifestyle. Thie article demonstrates a methodologically innovative approach to studying social perceptions of urban health, combining neural network-based text analysis and focus group interviewing.

Ecological Culture of Modern Cities: Searching for a Path to Ecological Well-Being
type: item
description: The article presents a critical analysis of Russian and foreign scientific literature aimed at understanding the possibilities of environmental culture of city dwellers as one of the factors for overcoming modern environmental problems. The authors note that the modern era can be characterized as an urbanocene, because cities today are both the main sources of environmental problems and the hope for their solution. This is particularly evident in the fact that, in the face of environmental risks, cities are more open to cooperation than states and can shape trends in eco-urbanism, green urbanism, and various sustainable consumption models, which can be reflected in the environmental culture of their residents. An analysis of the literature allowed the authors to clarify the content of the concept of environmental culture and identify key areas of empirical research in this area. The article names the main social institutions involved in environmental socialization and examines the mechanisms for the formation of environmental culture. The authors define the features of the environmental culture of the Russian cities residents as well as possible areas for further research and highlight the importance of such studies for the implementation of the Russian National Project “Environmental Well-being” scheduled for 2025-2030. Acknowledgements. The study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation, project No. 24-28-00258, https://rscf.ru/project/24-28-00258/.

Attitudes Towards Migrants in the Context of the Settlement Status of Residents of Russia and Other European Countries
type: item
description: The article aims at identifying whether attitudes towards migrants differ depending on the settlement status of residents of Russia and other European countries and to determine what causes possible variation. The author analyzes materials of the tenth wave of the European Social Survey and the comparable Russian Social Survey and, using multivariate analysis, estimates the integral indicators “attitude towards migrants” and “readiness to accept migrants” characterizing the attitudes of the population. The attitudes of urban and rural residents toward migrants are examined taking into account the possible influence of key sociodemographic characteristics. The study reveals that in most European countries, the attitude of city dwellers towards newcomers is more positive than that of rural residents. At that, no significant differences in attitudes depending on settlement status were found in Russia and several other countries. In most countries, a disproportion in the level of education between urban and rural residents was found, with respondents with higher education holding more favorable attitudes toward immigrants. The study emphasizes the indirect nature of this relationship. In Russia, no significant correlation between education and attitudes is revealed, which partly explains the lack of differences in attitudes toward migrants between urban and rural residents. The author concludes that economic status is a weak explanatory factor for differences in assessments between urban and rural residents. Using one of the indicators of traditionalism and supranational European identity as an example, the author reveals that differences in attitudes between urban and rural residents are linked to differences in value orientations. The social environment of social interaction is characterized through the lens of the respondent's and their parents' country of birth. It is noted that a heterogeneous environment is more characteristic of the urban population. Ultimately t…

The City: From a “Social Laboratory” to a Digital Environment for Innovation
type: item
description: The article opens a Special Issue of the Monitoring of Public Opinion: Economic and Social Changes journal devoted to social urban studies. Since the emergence of social urban studies, both the spatial forms and the challenges that cities face today have changed significantly.

The concept of the city dweller as a permanent resident is also changing, raising questions of commuting and "new citizens". The spread of digital technologies poses new questions for contemporary researchers and offers unusual perspectives on traditional problems, changing social urban studies and transforming cities into “living laboratories” for future innovation. Social urban studies continue the tradition of focusing on people and urban communities, issues of social inequality, the right to the city, migration, and public health. However, it naturally …

The survey method are (1) a formalized telephone interview based on a stratified random sample recruited from a complete list of landline and mobile phone numbers operating in Russia (1,600 respondents aged 18 and older in each survey) and (2) an online survey conducted by a formalized questionnaire based on the VCIOM-Online probability panel (panelists are recruited in the course of the daily all-Russian telephone survey mentioned above). The data were weighted for the probability of selection and reflect social and demographic characteristics. The margin of error at a 95% confidence level does not exceed 2.5%. In addition to sampling error, minor changes in question wording and different circumstances arising during the fieldwork can introduce bias into the survey.
