Abstract

Studies of residents’ perceptions of tourism impacts under social exchange theory have mostly focused on the costs and rewards of tourism in a one-sided manner. The purpose of this study is to examine these perceptions taking social exchange relations, which are dyadic, as the unit of analysis instead. Social exchange relations offer a more accurate understanding of tourism exchanges as they pair costs with rewards. The literature review analyses previous studies of resident impact perceptions in which exchange relations had been suggested. Based on this review, a survey was carried out among the residents of Besalú. Four social exchange relations were identified using factor analysis. The results show that perceptions about exchanges that specifically involve the resources of space, which tends to be a scarce resource in heritage towns, and retailing areas are linked to the willingness of residents to accept tourism. This suggests that these are critical resources affecting residents’ general perception of the tourism exchange. The results also show that residents strongly perceive tourism as a contribution to heritage conservation.
居民对旅游社会交往关系的认知——以一个遗产小镇为例
社会交换理论下居民对旅游影响感知的研究,大多集中在旅游的成本和回报上,是片面的。本研究的目的是以二元的社会交换关系为分析单位来检视这些认知。社会交换关系提供了对旅游交换更准确的理解,因为它们将成本与回报配对。文献综述分析了以往提出交换关系的居民影响感知研究。在此基础上,对Besalú的居民进行了调查。利用因子分析法,确定了四种社会交换关系。研究结果显示,对空间资源(在遗产城镇往往是稀缺资源)和零售区域的交流感知与居民接受旅游的意愿有关。这表明,这些是影响居民对旅游交流的总体看法的关键资源。调查结果还显示,居民强烈认为旅游业对遗产保护做出了贡献。
