“…Several past studies shown the direct relationship between perceived impact and support for development projects. (Kang & Lee, ; Luo & Xiao, ; Nunkoo & Gursoy, ). However, the local residents can recognize the positive and negative impact of CPEC project.…”

“…Conversely, if the host community understands that CPEC projects bring more costs than benefits and deteriorate local citizens' quality of life, they will not provide support for the development of CPEC. Specifically, perceived positive impact generated more positive community support than negative impact (Gursoy, Milito, & Nunkoo, ; Luo & Xiao, ). Therefore, drawing on the preceding literature discussion and in line with the social exchange theory, which reflects the importance of impact (positive and negative) in forming the support of CPEC development project, the following hypotheses are proposed:H1 Positive impact of CPEC on local community perception affects their support for CPEC.H2 Negative impact of CPEC on local community perception affects their support for CPEC.…”

China and Pakistan have initiated a mega project with the name of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). This study examines how local residence support of CPEC is shaped in Pakistan. This study employs a social exchange theory to explain how perceived impacts affect an individual's level of support for CPEC development. Findings reveal that social exchange theory fits the data well by confirming that the more residents perceive impacts positively, the more they are likely to support CPEC. Data were collected online using the Google platform from 280 citizens, residing in all provinces of Pakistan. Findings of this study validate most of the hypothesis. Positive impact shows significant effect on personal benefit and support for CPEC development. Similarly, personal benefit also shows significant effect on support for CPEC development. However, negative impact shows insignificant effect on personal benefit and support for CPEC development. Findings of this study will guide the government officials and policymakers of CPEC about the perception of local people residence, both positive and negative impact. Policymakers can use the findings of this study to gain local citizen's support for the CPEC development projects and designs policies accordingly for the future projects.

“…These findings are consistent with those of Látková and Vogt [3], Rasoolimanesh at el. [103], and Luo and Xiao [104]. They concluded that residents with a high level of community attachment are more optimistic about the perceived positive sociocultural and environmental impacts of tourism than those who are less attached.…”

Residents’ Perceptions and Satisfaction toward Tourism Development: A Case Study of Petra Region, Jordan

2019

This study investigates whether local residents’ sociodemographics and community attachment can influence their perceptions toward the impact of tourism (economic, environmental, and sociocultural effects) and, further, whether these perceptions influence their satisfaction with local tourism management. The perceptions of 467 residents were surveyed from six communities in the region of Petra, Jordan. The results of a regression analysis indicate that the respondents’ sociodemographics and community attachment influence their perceptions of the impacts of tourism. Gender and distance from tourist sites are found to be very important factors that influence local residents’ perceptions. In addition, the perceived economic impact is the most important aspect for these respondents, and perceived negative impacts do not significantly influence their satisfaction. Suggestions for future studies in the region and possible implications are discussed.

“…For example, with infrastructure in many parts of Hong Kong dilapidated and backward, urban transformation requires the government to plan and spend. In 2016, the Beijing central government incorporated the Hong Kong and Macau economies in its "13 th Five-Year Plan" (Luo and Xiao, 2017). This is a new opportunity for Hong Kong and also a big challenge to its governance system.…”

Hong Kong and Shanghai: a tale of two cities in China

This research discusses Hong Kong’s long-run role as a preeminent international finance centre in the greater China with a view of Shanghai’s rapid growth. Using a synthesis approach of politics and economics, rather than pure economic analysis and forecasting, it is argued Shanghai is not likely to overtake/replace Hong Kong as an international finance hub in the region. Hong Kong will still keep its position in many years to come even if Shanghai has made enormous efforts to rebuild its financial industry. Due to their diverging industry structure, sheer size of the country, and most importantly different positioning by the central and local governments, the two cities are not necessarily rivals, but can actually be complementary partners, serving two non-overlapping hinterlands. This research also asserts that Hong Kong’s integration with the mainland economy is essential for its increasing competitiveness, while putting emphasis on policy reform for Hong Kong to maintain a strategic advantage over Shanghai.
