“…The items for community perceptions toward tourism impacts were taken from these studies (Belisle & Hoy, 1980;Haralambopoulos & Pizam, 1996;Lankford & Howard, 1994;Liu & Var, 1986;Milman & Pizam, 1988;Perdue, Long, & Allen, 1987;Pizam, 1978). The respondents answered to each statement based on five scales.…”

This paper investigates the community perceptions toward economic and environmental impacts of tourism in Shiraz, Iran. Special focus is on the differences in perceptions between the Old and New Districts of Shiraz. The study demonstrates that there are broadly similar views among the community leaders and community residents from both districts of Shiraz. In fact, a high percentage of the answers obtained highlighted positive aspects environmental and economic impacts of tourism toward local communities. According to the survey, the strongest and favourable perceptions toward tourism impacts are found to be linked with environmental aspects and while economic matters are found to be the least favourable in terms of the perceived impacts on tourism. T-test analysis of the study indicates that there is no significant difference between community leaders' perceptions in both districts of Shiraz City. Results drew from discussion with the target group show that the community residents have positive perceptions toward economic and environmental impacts of tourism with only minor differences with each other.

“…It has frequently been noted that the positive effects of tourism relate primarily to economic aspects, such as employment opportunities, increased incomes, improved living standards, and a growth of the tax base. Other positive benefits of tourism include enhanced quality of life, the provision of hospitality to strangers, and enhanced confidence amongst residents (King et al, 1993;Milman & Pizam, 1988). It has been found that resident attitudes to tourism are significantly influenced by personal and locational characteristics, by contact with tourists, length of residence, age, and language (Brougham & Butler, 1981).…”

Abstract:As destinations absorb even increasing number of visitors, destination managers become progressively more concerned about the longer term viability of tourism from a resident's perspective. However, few studies have examined the application of real time social sustainability within tourism, particularly how to measure impacts on social sustainability. This study outlines the development of a valid and reliable scale -the Scale of Social Sustainability (SSS) -for tourism that provides an assessment of social sustainability in destination settings. A 10-step procedure was developed drawing upon the related literature. A telephone poll-based survey generated 1,839 valid responses from Hong Kong residents. Hong Kong's growing popularity as a destination provides a rich array of host-guest conflict situations. Dimensionality was identified using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Construct validity, reliability, and stability were assessed, and found good, showing that the scale could be used by other destinations worldwide. The theoretical and managerial implications of the scale are discussed, including options for annual surveys giving policy makers alerts before situations worsen.Detailed host resident viewpoints, and the large scale of the survey can help local residents be informed about tourism development and better involved in the policy formation process.

“…For example, several studies have shown that people who benefit from tourism perceive greater economic but lesser social or environmental impact from tourism than those who do not (Lankford and Howard 1994;Milman and Pizam 1988;Pizam 1978;Prentice 1993). Some studies on rural communities have demonstrated predominantly positive perceptions of tourism development's impact on the local economy (Allen et al 1993).…”

This paper applies the theoretical constructs of collaboration to tourism destinations and offers insight into interorganizational collaboration for one specific tourism domain, the planning and development of local, community-based tourism destinations. Drawing primarily from the literature on interorganizational relations, the theoretical constructs of collaboration are discussed first. Challenges and considerations in the planning and development of local tourist destinations are then summarized, followed by examples of community-based collaboration research. Propositions are presented for guiding collaborative initiatives and for investigating the application of collaboration theory to the planning and development of tourism destinations, from a community-involvement perspective. Keywords: Collaboration; community-based tourism planning, stakeholders, propositions.R~sum& L'article applique les constructions th6oriques de la collaboration aux destinations touristiques et jette de la lumi~re sur la collaboration interorganisationnelle pour un domaine particulier du tourisme: la planification et le d6veloppement communautaire des destinations touristiques locales.

On r~sume les d6fis et les consid6ra-tions de la planification et du d6veloppement des destinations touristiques locales, et on donne ensuite des exemples de recherches sur la collaboration communautaire.
