Abstract

ABSTRACT Influenced by patriarchy, male-centered culture, and family structure, gender inequality is widespread in rural areas of China. Based on the empowerment theory and the sustainable development theory, this study assessed the perceptions of women’s empowerment in rural tourism by a multi-dimensional scale of empowerment and explored the effect of women’s empowerment on tourism involvement and sustainable tourism development. Furthermore, tourism cooperatives were introduced into the conceptual model and investigated the moderating effect of tourism cooperatives on these relationships. Using the purposive sampling and snowball sampling approaches, 778 rural women living in Langde village and Huawu village participated in the survey, and then SPSS and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis methods were utilized for data processing. The value of this study lies in tourism cooperatives as an effective way of women’s empowerment in rural areas, which contribute to tourism involvement, thereby promoting sustainable tourism development.

妇女赋权对参与旅游业和旅游业可持续发展的影响：旅游合作社的调节作用

摘要受父权制、男性中心文化和家庭结构的影响，中国农村地区普遍存在性别不平等现象。基于赋权理论和可持续发展理论，本研究通过多维赋权量表评估了乡村旅游中的女性赋权认知，并探讨了女性赋权对旅游参与和旅游可持续发展的影响。此外，还在概念模型中引入了旅游合作社，并研究了旅游合作社对这些关系的调节作用。本研究采用目的性抽样和滚雪球抽样的方法，有 778 名居住在郎德村和花坞村的农村妇女参与了调查，然后利用 SPSS 和结构方程模型（SEM）分析方法进行了数据处理。本研究的价值在于，旅游合作社是农村地区妇女赋权的有效途径，有助于妇女参与旅游业，从而促进旅游业的可持续发展。
