Abstract

ABSTRACT Tourism has been widely recognized as a powerful tool for economic growth in rural communities around the world. The growth of rural tourism has always been a significant start in targeting poverty alleviation and promoting economic change in rural China. Rural tourism development is the participation of rural people in tourism and full integration into tourism development. Rural tourism development depends on the participation and support of rural residents. Therefore, this research explores the influencing factors of rural tourism residents’ happiness and their influence on tourism support. The sample was selected from Anren Town, Chengdu City, China, and the research subjects were residents of Anren Town. In this study, data were collected from 370 residents of Anren Town via a questionnaire survey. The results show that Community Involvement (CI) and Community Attachment (CA) positively affect residents’ Authentic Happiness (AH). This research found that improving residents’ support for tourism development can promote the development of rural tourism. The study finding provides a new perspective for the treatment of residents’ problems in tourism development and has guiding significance for the improvement of residents’ happiness index in tourism destinations. If the community is better, the happiness of the residents will be stronger.

基于导向意义和旅游发展的旅游目的地居民幸福指数提升研究

旅游业已被广泛认为是世界各地农村社区经济增长的有力工具。乡村旅游的发展一直是中国农村精准扶贫和促进经济变革的重要开端。乡村旅游开发是农村人参与旅游，充分融入旅游开发的过程。乡村旅游的发展有赖于农村居民的参与和支持。因此，本研究探讨乡村旅游居民幸福感的影响因素及其对旅游支持度的影响。样本选取于中国成都市安仁镇，研究对象为安仁镇居民。本研究采用问卷调查的方式对370名安仁镇居民进行数据收集。结果显示，社区参与(CI)和社区依恋(CA)正向影响居民的真实幸福(AH)。本研究发现，提高居民对旅游开发的支持度可以促进乡村旅游的发展。研究结果为旅游发展中居民问题的处理提供了新的视角，对旅游地居民幸福指数的提高具有指导意义。如果社区更好，居民的幸福感就会更强。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Sustainable Development and World Ecology is now over fifteen years old and has proved to be an exciting forum for understanding and advancing our knowledge and implementation of sustainable development. Sustainable development is now of primary importance as the key to future use and management of finite world resources. It recognises the need for development opportunities while maintaining a balance between these and the environment. As stated by the UN Bruntland Commission in 1987, sustainable development should "meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
