Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the fear of crime and the security of tourists and the re-orientation of their residence and their loyalty to the desti-nation in the historical and cultural context of Shiraz. Method: The research method was descriptive and correlational. The data were collected through questionnaires distributed among 380 for-eign tourists staying in the historical and cultural context of Shiraz. The reliability of the in-struments was confirmed by Cronbach’s alpha, which was more than 0.7, and the content va-lidity of the instrument was confirmed by experts’ opinions and the validity of the question-naire structure was verified using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Findings: For data anal-ysis, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used at significant level (p≤0.05). The results showed that most tourists from Europe visited Iran, with France and Ita-ly having the largest share of incoming tourists. The maximum period of stay in Shiraz was 3 days. Descriptive findings also show that there is a significant relationship between age, mari-tal status, education, occupation, country of origin and loyalty to tourists. Besides, there is a significant relationship between fear of crime (T = -2.541) and disorder of places (T = -3. 952) and loyalty of foreign tourists to destinations in Shiraz. Discussion: It should be mentioned that setting up tourism and tourism police stations for tourist destinations is one of the ways to reduce fear of crime and local disorder and thus increase tourism destinations in Shiraz. 1Mehdi Karoubi Ph.D. Tourism Management, Department of Tourism Management, Faculty of Management and Accounting, Allameh Tabataba’i University, Tehran, Iran (corresponding author) The Relationship between Fear of Crime and Local Disorder with Loyalty to Destination among Foreign Tourists in the Historical Context of Shiraz

设拉子历史语境下外国游客对犯罪的恐惧与对目的地忠诚的地方性混乱关系

引言：本研究的目的是调查设拉子历史文化背景下游客对犯罪的恐惧和安全感，以及他们对居住地的重新定位和对desti民族的忠诚之间的关系。方法：采用描述性和相关性研究方法。这些数据是通过向380名居住在设拉子历史和文化背景下的外国游客发放问卷收集的。通过Cronbachα检验仪器的可靠性，其值大于0.7，通过专家意见检验仪器的含量方差，并通过探索性和验证性因素分析验证问卷结构的有效性。研究结果：在数据分析中，描述性统计和推断性统计被用于显著水平（p≤0.05）。结果显示，大多数来自欧洲的游客访问伊朗，其中法国和意大利的入境游客比例最大。在设拉子停留的最长时间为3天。描述性研究结果还表明，年龄、婚姻状况、教育、职业、原籍国和对游客的忠诚度之间存在显著关系。此外，对犯罪的恐惧（T=-2.541）与场所混乱（T=-3）之间存在显著关系。952）以及外国游客对设拉子目的地的忠诚度。讨论：应该提到的是，在旅游目的地设立旅游和旅游警察局是减少对犯罪和当地混乱的恐惧，从而增加设拉子旅游目的地的方法之一。1Mehdi Karoubi旅游管理博士，伊朗德黑兰阿拉梅赫·塔巴塔巴伊大学管理与会计学院旅游管理系（通讯作者）设拉子历史背景下外国游客对犯罪的恐惧与当地混乱与对目的地的忠诚之间的关系
