“…From the perspective of social exchange, this socialspace interaction mechanism converts tourism from an embedded space activity into endogenous change in the socio-culture or lifestyle of the historic district (Choi and Murray, 2010). The tourism impact reflects the social interaction of tourists and residents in the spatial environment of the attraction, i.e., the social exchange between the residents and visitors that occurs at the tourism attraction.…”

Tourism is becoming a viable and important economic development strategy in the regeneration of historic districts. Nonetheless, tourism may bring negative impacts to the local communities. As a result, local residents' perceptions and attitudes toward tourism development are critical to the sustainable development of tourism. This study follows a qualitative research approach, attempting to examine the relationship between local residents' social-demographic features and their perceptions of tourism development. The framework is applied to the case of Nanluoguxiang in Beijing, China, which is a typical tourism destination benefitting from its traditional urban forms. Data from 24 in-depth interviewees are analyzed using word-frequency analysis through text encoding. The results reveal that the cultural perception of the residents promoted place attachment, which was associated with impact perception, and together, they determined behavioral demand. The stronger the cultural perception of the residents is and the stronger their place attachment is, the more the negative impact of tourism is perceived and the stronger their demand for cultural protection is. Long-term residents, those with occupations unrelated to tourism, and those who live adjacent to the tourism attractions perceived more negative impacts.

“…Community focused research in sustainable tourism has been dominated by work on resident and business communities and predominantly explores the relationship between these communities, tourism development and tourists (see Choi & Murray, 2010;Tosun, 2006). More recently attention has turned to virtual tourist communities where research strands have explored interest based communities, such as couch surfing (see, for example, Rosen, Lafontaine, & Hendrickson, 2011) and sharing of knowledge and tourism experiences through social media (Munar & Jacobsen, 2014).…”

Mobile connectivity enables the adoption of new ways to connect with social networks which are changing how we might, and could, seek support. In the tourism domain we increasingly blend online and offline presence to engage with social networks in the spatial location, at a distance and across time. This paper explores the forms of community that exist in physical tourism contexts, contexts not previously analysed through a community lens, and explores how mobile technology is creating connections within and beyond existing social networks. It examines how sustainable tourism can be enhanced by mobile connectivity through new spaceÀtime practices and using ephemeral interpersonal relationships to harness niche groups to create bottom-up social systems interested in sharing experiences, ideas and resources. Special attention is given to the concept of gelling socialities which proposes a less ridged network structure, and to the need to understand the increasingly liquid social dynamics of mobile social interactions. The paper adds to the theories surrounding community, social ties and tourism's value to society. It draws on data from in-depth interviews undertaken while designing and testing a collaborative travel app. It contributes to growing research into the new technologies increasingly available for sustainable tourism marketing and implementation.

“…Self-identity is an internal individual process after the assessment of an individual's own benefit, and thereby affects behavioural intentions. When tourists participate in festivals, the visiting experience will be impacted by the identity of the festival [25], while the festival identity will determine tourists' wishes to revisit the festival [27,28]. Therefore, we must take the tourists' feelings of participating in the festival, sense of identity, and support into consideration.…”

“…Therefore, attendees can be divided into two parts-residents and tourists; in terms of residents, by focusing on the residents' perception of the festival impact [21][22][23][24], we expect to comprehend the essential meaning of the festival to the regional development of social culture and the physical environment. On the other hand, we try to understand issues such as residents' identification with the festival [25], which considers that the residents' support for festival activities originate from the internal, including a common origin or shared characteristics [20]. Generally speaking, we investigate the influence on regional residents by festival activities from the external perspective; we also begin to think of the significance to the region from the internal perspective.…”

Abstract:The sustainable development of the festival depends on the support and participation of residents and tourists. There are a number of practical and theoretical gaps regarding the hosts and guests in festival literature. This study attempts to fill the host-guest gap based on the theory of reasoned action to construct and exam a relationship model. Taking the 2016 Summer Festival during busy season as an example in Hualien, 1165 questionnaires were valid, and data were analyzed by SEM (structural equation modeling). Results showed that the hosts had higher perception than the guests in terms of the festival benefits, identity, and support. This study has two concept models: the guest model and the host model. In the host model, the local-development benefits have more positive relationships to affect the festival support and festival identity than the recreation-experience benefits. On the other hand, the recreation-experience benefits could affect the festival support, but the festival identity could not in the guest model. The results of this study indicate that the festival organizers or the public sectors must be pay attention to the viewpoints of the guests and hosts in order to achieve the sustainable development objectives.
