Resumen

This study looks at information seeking behaviour in local settings using social media as a source of information for leisure purposes. We used mixed methods to analyze tweets' content and users' network. We found that Twitter is used as a local news media more than of a social channel. The results have also indicted a more locally centered online community and discussions where the type of information in a local setting tends to be slightly different from the information found in the literature. Future research might be done on enhancing the analysis measures and on a broader geographic area.
