“…Tolkach and King [26] argued that community attachment positively influences support for community tourism development. Other studies have supported this position by suggesting that community attachment has a significant impact on general attitudes about community [3,8]. (i) Local people should be allowed to participate in tourism with dignity and self-respect.…”

“…Meanwhile, residents who had a high community attachment sometimes had negative attitudes toward tourism. Nonetheless, it remains widely accepted in the tourism field that high community attachment leads to a positive attitude toward tourism development [3]. Tolkach and King [26] argued that community attachment positively influences support for community tourism development.…”

“…To propose a development strategy that is not participatory is now considered reactionary [2]. Thus, the major aspects of development, research, planning, implementation, and control of a tourism destination have been reoriented to make development more participatory [3]. Community participation is to design "development in such a way that intended beneficiaries are encouraged to take matters into their own hands, to participate in their own development through mobilizing their own resources, defining their own needs, and making their own decisions about how to meet their needs" [4] (p. 207).…”

The importance of community attitude and participation for the success and sustainability of cultural festivals has been steadily increasing in recent years. The Chuncheon Puppet Festival (CPF) is an international festival that has been held every year since 1989 in Chuncheon, Korea. The festival has several distinctive characteristics as a sustainable event because: (a) it maintains its single genre of puppet performances based on modern cultural art; (b) it is well-established as the festival for the local residents of Chuncheon City and is planned by local community residents and local small companies, not by government agencies or global large entrepreneurs; (c) it helps children to have an interesting cultural experience in the local environment; and (d) it is regularly hosted in August, an off-season for festivals in Korea that was chosen by residents as it is a school holiday season. However, there is still room for improvement to secure its place as a successful sustainable festival. The following might be considered: (i) increased exchange of human resources among the festival executive members, community groups, and the public staff in Chuncheon City; (ii) local residents should maintain full control of the festival; and (iii) a local cultural trust should be established by cultural art professionals, local resident organizations, puppet show professionals, and public agency staff. The CPF is a typical example of a successful sustainable festival with proactive and supportive community participation and a large number of volunteers that help to increase local competitiveness and sustainable local development. This case report delivers insightful lessons and messages to guide what needs to be preconditioned for local cultural festivals to be sustainable and successful for a long time in many destinations, where they can contribute as efficient catalysts for regional tourism development.

“…Desde la perspectiva comunitaria, 42% de los entrevistados cree que más de la mitad de la comunidad estaría dispuesta a trabajar o aportar dinero en un proyecto, al igual que en los resultados anteriores, existe disposición de las comunidades a trabajar en conjunto. Un caso similar fue documentado por Zhang et al (2020).…”

El capital social son las formas intangibles de un individuo que funciona colectivamente, como la cooperación, la confianza, las normas, la cohesión social y las redes; aspectos capaces de crear y aprovechar otras formas de capital como el físico, el económico y el humano; en consecuencia, el capital social es fundamental para emprender un proyecto de turismo rural y resulta prioritario estimarlo como parte integral del proyecto. El objetivo fue analizar el capital social orientado al turismo rural en dos comunidades afromexicanas de la región de las Grandes Montañas de Veracruz, para conocer sus fortalezas y oportunidades. Se realizó una investigación mixta con muestreo no probabilístico discrecional a 31 personas. La primera parte consistió de una encuesta para reconocer el capital social en las comunidades de El Mirador en el municipio de Yanga, y Mata Clara en el municipio de Cuitláhuac. En la segunda parte se realizaron entrevistas a profundidad para construir un discurso del patrimonio con miras a ser empleado para su aprovechamiento turístico. Se identifica cierto grado de fragmentación comunitaria, opiniones limitantes como la desconfianza al gobierno, inseguridad e identidad; sin embargo, existe una actitud a la creación de colectivos para realizar actividades turísticas comunitarias, fundadas en la colaboración con trabajo o económico con base en la confianza en amigos y familiares. Además, se observa cierta apropiación de algunos elementos patrimoniales, el desconocimiento de su historia y la ausencia de identidad de fondo, como los principales elementos que limitan el emprendimiento de proyectos turísticos comunitarios.

“…Good family interaction and high-quality interpersonal network with friends and colleagues contribute to the occurrence of leisure activities. Zhang et al ( 33 ) used tracking research to find that individuals who participated in more associations engaged in leisure activities, such as pure leisure, family planning activities, and voluntary work in a wider range and higher frequency. At the same time, the closer the social distance with your best friend, the easier it is to participate in leisure activities.…”

Background: Leisure provides opportunities for urban and rural residents to relax, recover their vitality, and improve their personal growth, development, and well-being. However, the impact of the leisure participation process, types, obstacles, participation motivation, and satisfaction on health is not very clear, especially the impact of leisure behavior on health, and is worthy of in-depth discussion.Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the impact of social capital and leisure participation on the self-rated health of urban residents in China so as to provide an important reference for national health promotion activities.Methods: the questionnaire on the relationship between social capital, leisure behavior, and self-rated health was compiled by ourselves. The residents participating in leisure and fitness in 25 residential fitness centers in Chengdu were investigated in the morning and evening, and the obtained data were processed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.Results: (1) Social capital had no direct influence on leisure hindrance; leisure motivation and leisure participation had no direct influence on self-rated health. (2) Leisure satisfaction has a direct positive impact on self-rated health, while leisure hindrance has a significant negative impact on self-rated health. (3) Social capital has a direct positive impact on leisure satisfaction, and social capital has a direct positive impact on self-rated health. Leisure satisfaction plays an intermediary role in the path of social capital affecting self-rated health, and the intermediary force exceeds the direct impact of social capital on self-rated health.Conclusion: The effect of leisure satisfaction on self-rated health is higher than that of social capital, and it plays an intermediary role in the impact path of social capital on self-rated health. Therefore, how to make urban community residents with different backgrounds obtain leisure satisfaction through leisure activities is an important topic of national health promotion.
