“…In accordance with previous studies (Davis et al, 1988;Ribeiro, Oom do Valle & Silva, 2013;Ryan & Montgomery, 1994), this study found no effects of gender on residents' perceptions of tourism's impact. Other studies, however, suggest that gender can determine residents' attitudes towards tourism (Mason & Cheyne, 2000;Nunkoo & Gursoy, 2012).…”

This study examines the residents´ perceptions of the impact of tourism in Benalmádena, and the profiles of the residents according to socio-demographic characteristics. A questionnaire assessed how these characteristics influence the residents' perceptions towards the environment, economy, and socio-cultural aspects. The survey was administered to a stratified sample of 770 residents in Benalmádena. Results show a significant effect of socio-demographic variables on perception of tourism impact. The educational background, place of birth and how long respondents had been living in the community explain a significant amount of the variance in overall attitudes. Interaction analyses revealed that place of birth moderated the relationship between the tourism dimensions and the years of residence. For instance, the respondents with less than five years of residence showed more positive attitude towards the impact of tourism. We offer a profile of these residents according to their perceptions of the impact of tourism in their community.

“…From an academic view, local communities' attitudes towards tourism are a key component in the identification, measurement and analysis of the changes caused by tourism (Hall & Page, 1999;Ryan & Montgomery, 1994). However, studies about local communities' attitudes towards tourism are not only an academic exercise but also a practical one (Hall & Page, 1999), and there are different reasons behind this.…”

The paper examines economic, socio-cultural, physical and attitudinal changes in/around World Heritage Site (WHS) Ogimachi since WHS designation from the local communities' standpoint and explores the background of these changes and views. Both positive and negative changes for local communities in/around WHS Ogimachi after WHS listing are identified. There are three main factors behind these changes: the extensive and rapid tourism development after WHS inscription; the high level of appeal of a WHS status for domestic tourists; and local people's attitudes towards conservation of the cultural environment and WHS status. In addition to its conservation plan, WHS Ogimachi must have a comprehensive tourism management plan for its successful future as a place to live, as a WHS and a tourist destination.

“…It is generally felt that community perceptions toward tourism impacts are likely to be an important planning and policy consideration for successful tourism development (Ap, 1992). Numerous studies on community residents' perceptions of tourism impacts have been conducted (Andereck et al, 2005;Ap, 1990Ap, , 1992Ap & Crompton, 1993;Brown & Giles, 1994;Choi & Sirakaya, 2005;Johnson et al, 1994;Liu et al, 1987;Liu & Var1986;Pizam, 1978;Ritchie, 1993;Robson & Robson, 1996;Ryan & Montgomery, 1994;Seid, 1994;Sheldon & Abenoja, 2001;Sheldon & Var, 1984;Sirakaya et al, 2001;Teye et al, 2002;Upchurch & Teivane, 2000). All these studies are performed by Western researchers.…”

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.
