“…Whereas most of the published work in the tourism literature tends to regard diasporas as being undifferentiated, and also considers only recent migrants (Lew & Wong, 2004;Kang & Page, 2000), this study adopts a much broader perspective. The Re-affirmative diaspora tourists correspond with those identified in most of the existing research (McCain & Ray, 2003;Nguyen & King, 2004;Kim & Stodolska, 2013). However, this study suggests they represent just one of five types of diaspora tourist, challenging such rudimentary thinking by presenting a more complete understanding of the complex and nuanced relationship that exists between migration, cultural identity, diaspora tourism and place attachment.…”

“…Research on travel by members of diasporic communities can be found under many names including home return travel (Duval, 2004;Basu, 2007;Kang & Page, 2000;Nguyen & King, 2004;Hughes & Allen, 2010;Pearce, 2012), roots tourism (Bruner, 1996;Basu, 2005;Handley, 2006;Pinho, 2008), ethnic tourism (Ostrowski, 1991;Kang & Page, 2000;Butler, 2003;Fourie & Santana-Gallego, 2013), visiting friends and relatives (VFR) tourism (Uriely, 2010;Pearce, 2012), genealogical tourism (Santos & Yan, 2010) and of course diaspora (diasporic) travel (Kim & Stodolska, 2013) or tourism (Coles & Timothy, 2004;Moufakkir, 2011). Importantly, with few notable exceptions (Coles & Timothy, 2004), these types of studies tend to regard diasporic groups as being undifferentiated, and who, depending on the group in question, travel for similar reasons and achieve broadly similar outcomes associated with resolving personal identity conflicts, discovering one's roots, retaining or maintaining personal connections or engendering feelings of being at home in their "native" soil (Duval, 2004;Stephenson, 2002;Timothy, 2008;Wessendorf, 2007).…”

With the exception of roots tourism conducted by descendants of former slaves (Handley, 2006;Pinho, 2008) and a few studies on multi-generation migrants (Wessendorf, 2007;Coles & Timothy, 2004), most of current research tends to focus on recent migrants from a single ethnic group who have moved to a single migrant destination (Hughes & Allen, 2010;Fourie & Santana-Gallego, 2013;Kim & Stodolska, 2013).…”

“…It is important to note that, unlike the GEN2 speakers, the GEN1.5 speakers did not demonstrate pronounced back vowel fronting or an overall fronted vowel space. If we extend our argument from above, it is possible that the GEN1.5 speakers may not feel the need to overemphasize their American-ness through back vowel fronting in the same way as the GEN2 speakers, since GEN1.5 speakers often demonstrate a strong affiliation to Korean cultures as part of their dual identity (Kim and Stodolska 2013). Thus, it is likely that GEN1.5 speakers identify themselves more strongly as Koreans or Korean Americans than Asian Americans.…”

This study investigates the participation in the California Vowel Shift by Korean Americans in Los Angeles. Five groups of subjects participated in a picture narrative task: first-, 1.5-, and second-generation Korean Americans, Anglo-Californians, and (non-immigrant) Korean late learners of English. Results showed a clear distinction between early vs. late bilinguals; while the first-generation Korean Americans and the late learners showed apparent signs of Korean influence, the 1.5- and the second-generation Korean Americans participated in most patterns of the California Vowel Shift. However, divergence from the Anglo-Californians was observed in early bilinguals’ speech. Similar to the late bilinguals, the 1.5-generation speakers did not systematically distinguish prenasal and non-prenasal /æ/. The second-generation speakers demonstrated a split-/æ/ system, but it was less pronounced than for the Anglo-Californians. These findings suggest that age of arrival has a strong effect on immigrant minority speakers’ participation in local sound change. In the case of the second-generation Korean Americans, certain patterns of the California Vowel Shift were even more pronounced than for the Anglo-Californians (i.e., /ɪ/-lowering, /ɑ/-/ɔ/ merger, /ʊ/- and /ʌ/-fronting). Moreover, the entire vowel space of the second-generation Korean Americans, especially female speakers, was more fronted than that of the Anglo-Californians. These findings suggest that second-generation Korean Americans may be in a more advanced stage of the California Vowel Shift than Anglo-Californians or the California Vowel Shift is on a different trajectory for these speakers. Possible explanations in relation to second-generation Korean Americans’ intersecting gender, ethnic, and racial identities, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

“…In industrial countries such as France, Italy, Turkey, Thailand, Greece, Singapore, and Malaysia, tourism obtains more foreign exchange than the oil export. As UNESCO declared, Iran is among the top ten countries with a good variety of tourist destinations and the development of this industry would be a suitable alternative for oil export in future [12].…”

Human beings have a special importance as a main element in developing tourism, and meeting their needs as an inseparable part of tourism is one of the most fundamental factors in developing tourism industry. Human needs are defined by ten elements of: size, degree of safety, contrast, humanistic scale, distance, texture, color, odor, sound, and the variety in physical environment. So far, numerous studies have been carried out on the sense of belonging to place, but a few number of them has ever studied the effect of the ten above-mentioned elements of belonging to place on the tourism development as a progressive industry. Therefore, it was hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between these ten elements of belonging to place and the Development of Tourism Industry. This effect was studied in a descriptive-analytic survey.The main research method is to study the effect of this sense as a basic need on the Development of Tourism in the Shahrekord as tourist site in Iran,, the satisfaction of tourists of ten factors proposed by Fritz Steele as physical, social and environmental factors creating a sense of belonging to place were evaluated. The results revealed that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between any of these elements and tourist attraction in a way that elements like environmental contrast, sound, odor, materials, visual variety, humanistic scale, distance to tourist attraction, size, color, and security of the place, cause an increase in satisfaction of place and Development of Tourism Industry in the cities, respectively
