The University of Girona together with the Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences of Athens have started a joint investigation in 2024 regarding digital nomads in the city of Barcelona.
This research aims to precisely define the profile of digital nomads, both Spanish and international, who choose Barcelona as their residence destination in order to understand how they live, their experiences, how they organize their stay and their daily life in the city.
With the collaboration with the Institut Opinòmetre, an exhaustive survey will be carried out that focuses on coworking spaces in the Barcelona districts of Poblenou and Gràcia.
To achieve the objective, the habits that digital nomads develop in comparison to traditional tourists will be identified and analyzed. The survey responses also aim to discover the possible benefits and drawbacks that their presence may bring to the Catalan capital, known above all for its tourist activity.
With the results of the research, it is expected to contribute to the development of policies and services that improve the experience of both digital nomads and local residents, promoting coexistence that benefits both parties.
