Belo Horizonte 4.0: Airbnb and the regionalization of the lived space
Keywords:
Airbnb, platform urbanism, regionalization, lived space, Belo HorizonteAbstract
In recent decades, the restructuring of the capitalist system has driven the development of communication technologies, defining the digital revolution. Within this context, platforms like Airbnb emerged and have been reshaping markets and social life. This article analyzes Airbnb's impact on the regionalization of the lived space in Belo Horizonte, based on user reviews. The research employs an innovative approach that combines digital data extraction, qualitative analysis, and geoprocessing techniques. Results show that users' perceptions reinforce existing urban centralities while redefining regionalization and the territorial experience in the cities, reflecting symbolic and functional transformations in the contemporary urban landscape.
