“…In doing this, local institutions should involve also impartial source of information (e.g. university, research centers) in order to increase the trustworthiness that local community could give to the delivered messages and avoid that they could be perceived as "politically-minded" (Lindberg and Johnson, 1997).

Terms of use: Documents in Manuela Pulina University of Sassari and CRENoSAbstract This paper investigates residents' preferences towards cruise tourism investment in their home port. The research uses data collected during the peak cruise season in 2011 at Messina, a port of call in Sicily, Italy. A generalized ordered logit analysis is run to analyse what factors influence the residents' preferences towards investment in cruise tourism. Positive and negative externalities produced by this economic activity, as well as socio-demographic and economic determinants are taken into account. Overall, the resource investment choice of residents in Messina was dependent upon: their income dependency on the cruise activity, their own personal cruise experience, family size, the expected increase in welfare (i.e. increase in public and private investment), whether they are affected by urban and rural gentrification and the value placed on community life style and heritage conservation. Nevertheless, residents would tend to decrease investments in cruise activity if they are female, retired or perceive the environment to be deteriorating. Implications for policy makers are drawn from the empirical findings.Paper submitted to the special issue Tourism Externalities JEL C25; D62; L83 Keywords Cruise port of call; positive and negative externalities; residents' support; generalized ordered logit

“…In addition, the earlier research conducted by Irwin et al (1990) shows that people with different sociodemographic characteristics have different needs and wants, as well as perceptions and attitudes. Thus, sociodemographic characteristics affect perceptions through the associated values (Lindberg & Johnson, 1997). Wang (2013) opines that such sociodemographic characteristics are relevant to the determining of similarities and differences regarding various geographic segments of a resident population.…”

“…However, the research foci on the residents' perceptions of tourism development and tourism impacts, in both the developing and the developed context, have gained the attention of a number of scholars (Brougham & Butler, 1981;Dieke, 1989;Ap, 1992;Jurowski et al, 1997;Chen, 2000;Chen & Hsu, 2002;Lui, 2003;Dyer et al, 2007;Nunkoo & Gursoy, 2012;Mutanga et al, 2015;Tichaawa & Mhlanga, 2015;Moyo, 2016;Makoni & Tichaawa, 2017), who, in their studies, suggest that, as the residents are an integral part of tourism development, their perceptions can be of great value in developing the relevant developmental strategies. Surprisingly, though, scant analysis exists of how sociodemographic characteristics influence such perceptions of tourism development (Brougham & Butler, 1981;Allen et al, 1993;Lindberg & Johnson, 1997;Andereck et al, 2007). More worrying than the above is the fact that much of the existing literature, in the same regard, has been conducted from a developed community perspective.…”

This study sought to determine the sociodemographic influences on residents' perceptions of tourism development in Zimbabwe. The study emanates from a concern over the lack of such a research angle in the context of subSaharan African tourism research. Adopting an explorative quantitative design, a structured survey was used to generate 246 valid responses from the residents in Harare. The results obtained showed that there were both similarities and differences in the perceptions of residents with different sociodemographic characteristics. The study brought to light that sociodemographic characteristics are an important variable in determining the influences of residents' perceptions of tourism development. This article offers developing destinations augmented insight into the influence of demographic characteristics on residents' perceptions of tourism development, as well as discernments respecting tourism planning, policy formulation, strategy implementation, and tourism marketing in transforming communities and enhancing destination's image.

“…Alan yazında yerel halkın turizme yönelik tutumlarını ölçmek amacıyla geliştirilen çeşitli ölçme araçları bulunmaktadır (Lindberg ve Johnson 1997;Gürsoy, Jurowski, ve Uysal 2002;Ko ve Stewart 2002;Gürsoy ve Rutherford, 2004;Dyer, Gürsoy, Sharma ve Carter, 2007). Bu çalışmalardan yola çıkarak Choi ve Sırakaya 2005 yılında yerel halkın turizmin sürdürülebilirliğine yönelik tutumunu ölçmeyi amaçlamış ve sürdürülebilir turizm tutum (SUS-TAS) ölçeğini geliştirmişlerdir.…”

ÖzBu çalışmanın amacı, Choi ve Sırakaya (2005) tarafından geliştirilen Sürdürülebilir Turizm Tutum Ölçeğinin (SUS-TAS) geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizlerini gerçekleştirmektir. Çekim yerinde yaşayan yerel halkın sürdürülebilir turizmin gelişimine yönelik tutumlarını inceleyen SUS-TAS ölçeğinin analizlerinde kullanmak üzere Didim'de yaşayan yerel halktan veri elde edilmiştir. Veri setinin analizinde, açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda orijinal SUS-TAS ölçeğinde yer alan 44 madde 18 maddeye düşmüştür. Çevresel sürdürülebilirlik Didim'de yaşayan yerel halk için en önemli boyut olarak belirlenirken algılanan sosyal maliyetler en az ilişkili boyut olarak tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre SUS-TAS ölçeğinin Didim yerel halk örnekleminde geçerli ve güvenilir olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Anahtar Kelimeler: Sürdürülebilir turizm, SUS-TAS ölçeği, yerel halk, güvenilirlik, geçerlilik AbstractThis research aims to reassess the validity and reliability of Sustainable Tourism Attitude (SUS-TAS) scale which is developed by Choi and Sırakaya (2005). Data which was gathered from residents' in Didim was analysed of SUS-TAS scale examining the residents' attitude to sustainable tourism development. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were utilized. Findings support 18 items of SUS-TAS scale that has originally 44 items. Environmental sustainability was found the most related dimension for residents whereas perceived social costs was determined the least related dimension. According to the findings, it can be said that SUS-TAS scale is valid and reliable in Didim sample.
