“…Researchers have often discussed residents' supportive attitudes regarding tourism impacts [27,37], as residents' attitudes towards tourism development and their perceptions of tourism impacts are crucial for sustainable tourism development [1,57]. Researchers who have studied residents' support for tourism have classified the impacts of tourism into three dimensions: socio-cultural, environmental, and economic [36,[58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. Therefore, tourism sustainability must encompass the triple bottom line, addressing those three dimensions [68].…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the extent to which residents’ perceptions of their place image can predict their perceptions of the impacts of tourism, and ultimately, to elucidate their support for sustainable tourism development in Midyat, Turkey. This city currently faces a range of negative impacts associated with tourism, such as inflation, high leakage, threats to family structures, environmental degradation, pollution, and crowding. At the same time, Midyat seeks to maximize the positive impacts of tourism, including job creation and employment, environmental protection, cultural and educational enrichment, and recreational opportunities. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a strategic shift in development. The study population consists of residents residing in Midyat, Turkey, from whom three hundred and fifty-six questionnaires were collected. PLS (Partial Least Squares) path analysis was utilized to analyze the research model constructed based on the literature. The results demonstrated that residents’ place image significantly predicted two out of three impacts of tourism, namely, socio-cultural and economic impacts. Additionally, residents’ perceptions of environmental and socio-cultural impacts were significant predictors of their support or opposition to sustainable tourism. While perceived environmental impacts have a positive effect on support for sustainable tourism, perceived economic impacts have a negative effect. This finding can guide tourism planners and professionals to make more informed decisions and take stronger steps toward sustainable tourism development. This study revealed that the quality of life, job opportunities, infrastructure, and economic income of Midyat’s residents are insufficient. However, the city is characterized by social attributes, such as friendliness, trust, and supportiveness. The results are limited to local residents, and using only one tourist stakeholder to assess sustainable tourism development is insufficient. Therefore, additional research must be performed to guarantee the involvement of other tourism stakeholders.

“…No Brasil, com o crescente número de visitantes em cavernas, têm aumentado o número de trabalhos com foco nos impactos ambientais negativos do espeleoturismo, como os realizados em cavernas do Rio Grande do Norte (FERREIRA et al, 2010;ARAÚJO et al 2017;SILVA et al 2017) De maneira geral, os impactos ambientais relacionados ao turismo em cavernas consistem na compactação do solo; quebra e a interrupção do crescimento de espeleotemas pelo toque visitante; deterioração de sítios arqueológicos e paleontológicos; importação de microbiota e o crescimento de Lampenflora (organismos fotossintetizantes que crescem em locais com iluminação artificial) com a instalação de iluminação permanente; descarte de resíduos sólidos; alterações microclimáticas e das taxas de CO2; contaminação de corpos hídricos, a redução da fauna; pichações e supressão de vegetação do entorno das cavidades (DONATO; RIBEIRO, 2011;JOUSSET, 2012;ADETUTU et al 2012;TOMCZYK-ŻAK;ZIELENKIEWICZ, 2015;SILVA et al 2015;MUSADAD, 2016;XAVIER;RIBAS;BRAZ, 2017;BERCEA et al 2019;MACHADO, 2020;BALESTRA et al 2021;RACHID;GÜNGÖR, 2021).…”

No Brasil, muitas cavernas são utilizadas para fins turísticos, contudo, poucas dispõem de planejamento turístico, deixando-as vulneráveis aos impactos ambientais. Este trabalho tem como objetivo discutir o potencial turístico das cavernas, o estado de conservação, a capacidade de carga turística, os perigos a saúde do visitante e à necessidade da Educação Ambiental para a sustentabilidade ambiental e econômica. O Brasil possui grande potencial espeleoturístico, contudo para a compatibilização do uso turístico com conservação ambiental, se faz necessário a implementação obrigatória de um plano de manejo, mas sobretudo, de programas de monitoramento ambiental, de Educação Ambiental e Patrimonial, e da fiscalização por parte dos órgãos responsáveis para garantir o cumprimento das normas.

“…However, as the tourism activities take place, many nature depletions have been recorded such as unruly tourists who destroyed stalagmite in caves (Scroxton et al, 2016) and excessive tourist visits that degraded the environment in Pindul Cave, Yogyakarta, Indonesia (Musadad, 2017). Cave tourism is suggested to have caused damage to stalactite and stalagmite from tourists touching.…”

There are many natural geological heritage sites located in Kilim, as the total area of the geoforest consists of karst rock that was formed 500 million years ago. Bat Cave is among the favourite spot for tourists to appreciate and explore geological heritage sites. The Bat Cave is a-200 million years’ minerals formation site and a habitat for thousands of bats in the geoforest area. However, excessive tourism activities have affected various natural resources and wildlife habitat of Kilim Karst Geoforest Park, Langkawi. The Bat Cave is one of the geological sites that is most probably affected by tourism activities. The aim of this paper is to identify local residents and tourists’ opinion in the effects of cave exploration and tourism activities to the habitat of bats and geo-physical characters of the Bat Cave, Kilim Karst Geoforest Park, Langkawi. The methodology employed in this study is based on questionnaire survey with 93% response rate (n=299). Questionnaires were distributed to tourists (65), local residents in Kilim (145) and staff (89) who are in charged in the tourism operation of Kilim Karst Geoforest Park. Findings of this study suggest that tourism activities such as cave exploration and sight-seeing activities caused deterioration towards the physical characteristics of natural resources and habitat of bats in the Bat Cave, Kilim Karst Geoforest Park, Langkawi. This is due to tourists not adhering to a proper procedure (e.g. frequent use of torch light) while exploring the cave. Respondents agree that there is a decline in the numbers of bat population in the cave. The management agency of Kilim Karst Geoforest Park needs to take steps in controlling or reducing the number of tourist arrivals by using tourism carrying capacity approach in order to promote stability. Exceeded population could cause destructions towards the resources. Degradation of natural resources indirectly would distract the natural symbiosis of the ecosystem.
