Research On Tourism Gentrification Driven By Large-scale Theme Parks

Since the concept of gentrification was put forward in 1960 s,it has become a multi-disciplinary research hotspot.Due to the continuous expansion of urbanization and globalization,gentrification has become a global phenomenon and is rising all over the world.As an important branch of gentrification theory,with the rapid development of global tourism,the phenomenon of tourism gentrification begins to show a global trend of spread.In recent years,the development of theme parks in China has begun to enter the "fast lane".Theme parks have become an important carrier to promote regional economic development,enhance urban competitiveness and attract tourists.In the construction process of theme parks,the phenomenon of tourism gentrification also appears.Through literature analysis,it is found that due to the late origin of tourism gentrification theory(1994),the relevant research is still in its infancy,and the analysis of tourism gentrification is mostly biased to the analysis system of gentrification theory,with less tourism characteristics,and less research on Tourism gentrification driven by theme park.Therefore,taking Shanghai Disneyland,the first Disneyland in mainland China,as an example,this paper comprehensively uses tourism gentrification theory and qualitative and quantitative research methods to explore the development characteristics and influencing factors of tourism gentrification of Shanghai Disneyland,so as to explore the characteristics of tourism gentrification driven by large theme parks,so as to deepen the existing understanding of tourism gentrification,And explore the characteristics and common characteristics of tourism gentrification development under the background of Chinese characteristics.The paper is divided into three parts:The first part mainly includes chapter one and chapter two.The first chapter is the introduction,which systematically introduces the research background,research significance,research content and methods,research innovation,research progress,research framework;the second part is the research area overview and research design.This part mainly summarizes the basic situation,development history and tourism development status of the case,and explains the data collection methods and analysis methods.The second part mainly includes chapter three,chapter four and chapter five.The third chapter is the dimension study,which systematically summarizes the process of determining the tourism gentrification measurement index,from the initial index selection to the index review and further improvement and modification according to the actual situation of the case site,so as to finally determine four common and one characteristics of Shanghai Disneyland tourism gentrification measurement index.The fourth chapter is the research on the performance characteristics of Shanghai Disneyland tourism gentrification.This part studies the performance characteristics of Shanghai Disneyland's tourism gentrification from the commonness and characteristic indexes.The research finds that compared with the western traditional tourism gentrification,Shanghai Disneyland's tourism gentrification has its commonness but also has obvious characteristics in the Chinese context.The commonness is mainly reflected in the rise of the real estate market price,the replacement of the original residents,the change of culture,etc aspect.Chinese characteristics are reflected in the government's leading role in tourism gentrification,and Shanghai Disneyland tourism gentrification is developed from "brownfield" and the replacement of original residents has certain pre characteristics.The fifth chapter analyzes the driving factors of Shanghai Disneyland tourism gentrification development.This part mainly discusses and analyzes from three aspects: "supply"(capital entry brought by neoliberalism),"demand"(promotion of cultural demand)and "government".The third part is chapter five.The fifth chapter is the conclusion and discussion of the article.According to the previous theoretical analysis and empirical analysis results,this paper summarizes the main conclusions and points of view,and mainly concludes the commonness and Chinese characteristics of Shanghai Disneyland's tourism gentrification compared with western tourism gentrification.At the same time,it discusses the research of tourism gentrification and the shortcomings of this research,and puts forward the prospect of future research.
