“…Contributions towards the local economy and employment have been well documented in many studies (García et al, 2015;Gilbert & Clark, 1997;Kim, Uysal, & Sirgy, 2013). In this study, however, the impact of economy in affecting satisfaction with quality of life was insignificant, which contradicts those identified in the previous studies.…”

“…Many studies revealed positive together with negative economic impacts of tourism on host communities. The positive economic impacts of tourism include increased employment, investment and business opportunities (García et al, 2015;Gilbert & Clark, 1997;Kim, Uysal, & Sirgy, 2013;Liu & Var, 1986), improved community infrastructure, and standard of living (Haralambopoulos & Pizam, 1996;Lankford & Howard, 1994). In regard to the negative impact of tourism, the evidence includes the increased prices of goods and services (Haralambopoulos & Pizam, 1996), increased price of land and housing (Harrill & Potts, 2003).…”

“…The quality of life includes the local residents' perceptions of the objective conditions within the host community (Cutter, 1985). Recently, residents' perception toward tourism impacts on and life quality in a tourist destination have been examined in quite a number of studies (Andereck & Nyaupane, 2011;Andereck et al, 2005;García, Vázquez, & Macías, 2015;Kim, Uysal, & Sirgy, 2013;Woo, Kim, & Uysal, 2015). Yet few studies have specifically investigated tourism impacts on the quality of life (Andereck & Nyaupane, 2011).…”

“…The studies of residents' perceptions towards tourism and life quality have been mostly conducted in western countries (Andereck & Nyaupane, 2011;Andereck et al, 2005;García et al, 2015;Kim, Uysal, & Sirgy, 2013;Woo, Kim, & Uysal, 2015). Only one study on residents' attitude towards tourism in Hong Kong has been documented (Mok, Slater, & Cheung, 1991).…”

This study aims to examine the impact of specific dimensions of tourism impacts on Hong Kong residents' satisfaction with the quality of life. While factor analysis is used to explore the attributes and dimensions of tourism impacts, multiple regression analysis is employed to determine the tourism impacts on residents' satisfaction with the quality of life. It is evident from the results that two of the five dimensions of tourism impacts have positive influence on residents' satisfaction. Image and infrastructure are found to be the important determinant factors in explaining the satisfaction. The impacts of environment, economy, and services in affecting satisfaction seem to be insignificant. In order to maintain tourism sustainability in Hong Kong, the local residents' perception should be taken into consideration. Recommendations are provided to achieve mutual benefits and harmonious development.

Conservation Policy-Community Conflicts: A Case Study from Bogda Nature Reserve, China

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bogda Nature Reserve is a World Heritage Site (WHS) in Xinjiang, China. Potential conflicts between community development and heritage conservation are important topics to study and may have an impact on the sustainable development of heritage sites. In this study, we conducted a survey with the community residents of the Bogda Nature Reserve to examine major potential conflicts arising from local residents' perceptions regarding conservation policy and its interventions. The results indicated that the local community supports heritage conservation and development, but they expressed negative attitudes towards their present living conditions, especially due to policy-induced loss of benefits. Through the research, three major conflicts were identified: (1) a divergence in residents' awareness of the WHS designation and the conservation policy (grazing restriction policy); (2) negative changes in living conditions compared to before the WHS designation; (3) the degradation of well-being caused by tourism. In addition, expectations from residents were combined to assess the implications for the present situation and advise on conservation plans to facilitate sustainable management in Bogda.
