Abstract

Tourism is one of the most effective solutions for overcoming poverty in rural areas. Jordan has many renowned tourist attractions situated in urban and rural areas. Tourism plays an integral role to boost the national economy of Jordan. In an increasingly globalized society, rural tourism is expected to rise, thus it is important to examine how the locals feel about tourism development. The study aims to examine how the locals in the rural areas of Jordan's Ajloun and Jerash governorates perceive the effects of tourism development. For the analyses, 395 households of data were used. Residents' attitudes toward the development of tourism have been evaluated using multiple regression along with descriptive statistics, both positively and negatively. IBM AMOS 22.0 has been used to complete the statistical analysis. The results indicated that tourism in the selected villages is in the pre-development stage and respondents strongly supported the development of the tourism industry because it creates jobs, attracts investment, and increases the value of agricultural products by creating a market. However, respondents expressed little concern about the adverse effects, such as the loss of traditional value, environmental degradation, pollution, and traffic congestion.

当地社区对旅游业发展的看法：约旦乡村旅游点研究

旅游业是消除农村地区贫困最有效的解决方案之一。约旦的城市和农村地区都有许多知名的旅游景点。旅游业在促进约旦国民经济方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。在日益全球化的社会中，预计乡村旅游将会兴起，因此研究当地人对旅游业发展的看法非常重要。本研究旨在探讨约旦艾杰隆和杰拉什省农村地区的当地人如何看待旅游业发展的影响。分析使用了 395 个家庭的数据。使用多元回归和描述性统计对居民对旅游业发展的态度进行了正反两方面的评估。统计分析使用了 IBM AMOS 22.0。结果表明，选定村庄的旅游业正处于发展前期，受访者强烈支持发展旅游业，因为旅游业能创造就业机会、吸引投资并通过创造市场提高农产品价值。然而，受访者对传统价值的丧失、环境退化、污染和交通拥堵等不利影响表示担忧。
