“…Still, tourism can bring negative outcomes such as pollution, rubbish, overcrowding, and agglomeration in public facilities and resources (Almeida, Balbuena and Cortes 2015). Research also discovered that host communities may have difficulty for evaluating negative environmental impacts caused by tourism (Amuquandoh 2010) and do not evaluate environmental impacts equally due to different variables (Kuvan and Akan 2005).…”

“…Studies employ different socioeconomic variables that can modify the host's perception or attitudes in order to analyze intra-group differences among the community. These variables include economic dependency on tourism (Krippendorf 1987;Mansfeld 1992;King, Pizam and Milman 1993;Haralambopoulos and Pizam 1996;Korca 1998;Kuvan and Akan 2005), income (Ritchie and Inkari 2006), age (Haralambopoulos and Pizam 1996;Sheldon and Abenoja 2001;Terzidou, Stylidis and Szivas 2008), length of residency (Sheldon and Abenoja 2001), residents' place image (Stylidis, Biran and Szivas 2014) and ethnicity (Besculides, Lee and McCormick 2002). Distance between the individual and community's tourism zone is another variable that influences resident perceptions (Mansfeld 1992;Korca 1998;Ritchie and Inkari 2008).…”

Many of the studies on pilgrimage tourism have focused on aspects related to visitors, such as travel motivation, visitor experience or visitor typologies. However, it is also vital for tourism destination management to understand the local community's perceptions towards impacts brought by tourism. While some research has been conducted on the subject, the tourism impacts in communities along pilgrimage trails remain surprisingly under-researched. In order to contribute to this research gap, this study provides a qualitative approach on the host community's economic and social impacts of pilgrimage tourism. Analysis is made based on Krippendrof's categorization, which divides community members into four types based on their economic dependence on tourism activity. As a case study site, Chikatsuyu community, located along the pilgrimage routes of Kumano Kodo, is selected. Results show that, although economic impacts were regarded as comparatively minor, smallscale tourism was generally perceived as positive across the participants. In particular, the participants had an overall positive perception of social impacts. The presence of international tourists was welcomed across the four types of participants, who perceived them as polite, friendly and interesting because of the novelty they brought to their daily lives. Awareness towards tradition and its conservation, as well as an increase in events, were also positively influenced by tourism development. Almost no negative impacts were perceived by the participants. Finally, in comparison to other communities located along the pilgrimage route, the participants recognized that Chikatsuyu was less developed and received less benefits from tourism because of its location as a waypoint place. However, they were satisfied with the level of development achieved by Chikatsuyu and had no ill feelings towards more developed communities. The study's results have implications for tourism management on pilgrimage routes, especially for a sustainable development of it as locals favor smallscale growth rather than mass tourism.

“…However this popularity of events has evoked strong positive and negative reactions from community residents (Waitt, 2003;Jackson, 2008) who are essentially impacted by the event industry. As such negative social impacts can undermine the key positive impacts that events can deliver for a host community (Deery & Jago, 2010) and can lead to community hostility towards the development of tourism activities such as events (Kregg, 2001;Prayag, Hosany, Nunkoo & Alders, 2012;Bahee, Pisani & Shavakh, 2014). Nevertheless the success of tourism development depends on the active support and participation of the local population (Gursoy & Rutherford, 2004) and Local Authority planners.…”

The increasing popularity of the event sector in Ireland has resulted in many community events being developed and marketed to international and domestic tourists alike. This growth has had an effect on host communities in a positive and negative manner. This paper assesses the current levels of Local Authority socio-cultural planning provision and guidelines for event management in Ireland. To achieve this, a content analysis approach was used to illustrate which Local Authorities in the Republic of Ireland employed socio-cultural tools and indicators for event management. Accordingly, analysis revealed a lack of Local Authority socio-cultural planning guidelines or policies for event management. However, this offers and opportunity to be improved by implementing and applying best practice indicators in socio-cultural policies and guidelines for event management in Ireland.
