Abstract

To strategically utilize resources to minimize the negative impacts of tourism and increasing the social support for tourism development, the present study examined the residents of the State of Goa by using the model developed by Perdue et al. (1990); later extended by Mc Gehee, et al. (2002); and also based on social exchange theory; tried to determine whether personal characteristics and personal benefits from tourism influence perception of tourism as well as support for tourism development, and what factors influence support for tourism development and management. The result indicated that personal characteristics were not good predictors of resident's attitude tourism impacts with an exception of age, education, and birthplace. Personal benefits from tourism predicted positive impacts of tourism, negative impacts of tourism and also support for additional tourism, which was consistent with Perdue et al. (1990) and Mc Gehee et al. (2002).The research supported social exchange theory as personal benefit and support for additional tourism were significant predictors of tourism planning. However, while support for additional tourism did predict tourism planning, it showed a positive relationship as reported by Mc Gehee et al. (2002) and not a negative one as reported by Perdue et al. (1990). The overall findings support previous assertions that educating local residents about the potential benefits of tourism is critical in obtaining their support for tourism, enhancing their involvement in the industry, and achieving sustainable community development.

影响果阿邦居民对旅游业影响认知的因素研究

为了战略性地利用资源以尽量减少旅游业的负面影响并增加对旅游业发展的社会支持，本研究使用Perdue等人(1990)开发的模型对果阿邦的居民进行了调查;后来由mcgehee等人推广(2002);也基于社会交换理论;试图确定个人特征和个人旅游利益是否影响旅游感知和旅游发展支持度，以及哪些因素影响旅游开发和管理支持度。结果表明，除年龄、教育程度和出生地外，个人特征不能很好地预测居民态度旅游的影响。旅游的个人收益预测了旅游的积极影响、消极影响以及对额外旅游的支持，这与Perdue et al.(1990)和Mc Gehee et al.(2002)一致。研究支持社会交换理论，个人利益和额外旅游支持是旅游规划的显著预测因子。然而，虽然对额外旅游的支持确实预测了旅游规划，但Mc Gehee等人(2002)的报告显示，它表现出正相关关系，而不是Perdue等人(1990)的报告所显示的负相关关系。总体的研究结果支持了先前的断言，即教育当地居民关于旅游的潜在利益对于获得他们对旅游业的支持、提高他们对旅游业的参与和实现可持续的社区发展至关重要。
