ABSTRACT

Rapid changes incurred by tourism pose challenges to local residents, transforming their perceptions of place and levels of identification to it. Building on the premises of two theoretical frameworks, this study aimed to investigate the way place image and social identity determine residents’ predispositions to tourism and their overall life satisfaction. Using data drawn from Seville residents, the study revealed that place image determines residents’ perceptions of tourism impacts, while social identity only affected support for tourism. Perceived impacts further formulated support and life satisfaction. The study sheds some light on residents’ attitudes and their life satisfaction in mature destinations.

摘要

旅游业带来的快速变化给当地居民带来了挑战，改变了他们对地方的看法和认同程度。建立在两个理论框架的前提下，本研究旨在调查地方形象和社会认同如何决定居民的旅游倾向和他们的整体生活满意度。该研究使用来自塞维利亚居民的数据，表明地方形象决定了居民对旅游影响的看法，而社会认同只影响对旅游的支持。感知到的影响进一步形成了支持和生活满意度。该研究揭示了成熟目的地居民的态度和生活满意度。
