Study On Residents' Perceptions On Tourism Impacts In City

With the rapid development of tourism industry, it has increasingly roles in society, economy and culture, on the other hand, resulted in increasingly environmental damage and local characteristics' disappearance, whereupon people are beginning to regard the concept of sustainable tourism development. As a major interest group in the process of tourism development, the support of destination resident is very significant for the sustainable tourism development. The positive attitude of local residents on Tourism can not only help to increase tourism attraction, but also improve the tourism experience of tourists; On the other hand, residents' perception on tourism impact can dynamically reflect the status of tourism development, therefore it makes great sense to guide tourism policies and strategies. Among previous studies, it's more that the comparison analysis about different regions and the groups study in the same area. But to deepen this research, we must consider the individual analysis of tourists or local residents; meanwhile, this will make instructional sense for tourism exploitation, planning and management, furthermore better meet the requirements of the majority residents in city, improve their life quality, and ultimately, achieve the harmonious tripartite win of tourism, city and residents.Based on positivism analysis thought, this paper explores the residents' perception of urban type tourism destination, and chooses Nanjing as the study case. Grounded on the data which was obtained through social sample survey, residents' perception on tourism impacts is systematically and deeply discussed. Using the theories and methods of some disciplines synthetically, such as geography, sociology, anthropology, psychology, this paper combines two main themes of tourism impact and residents' perception, and the studies framework is established primarily that residents' perception on tourism impact.Two main sectors those are foundation and demonstration are included. The first sector involves introducing theoretical foundation and research methods, and it includes the anterior 3 chapters. Firstly the background and significance of the selected subjects are clarified; then the author has a review on the relevant research and theories home and abroad, further makes a theoretical construct about this paper; at the same time, introduced the analytical methods and means of this research. The second part of this paper is demonstration analysis. Among this, the forth chapter is the basic work before empirical analysis. First the background of destination and the status of tourism development are introduced; in the latter part of this chapter, the idea and process of social investigation are introduced in detail, and this prepares for deep analysis in latter three chapters of demonstration. The fifth, sixth and seventh chapter make discussion respectively on three aspects that is tourism environmental, economic and social-cultural impact (named as TENVI, TECOI, TSCI). The analysis is deepen step by step guided by the following thought: Firstly, the city is regarded as a whole which has no spatial difference, then makes analysis on residents' perception from the demographic characteristics, and according to the overall perception situation, classifies the residents groups. Secondly, regards the city as heterogeneous space, namely the space region has spatial difference, at the same time the resident has no subdivision, and then explores the spatial diversity of resident's perception. Thirdly, regards the city as...
