  • mobile technology Resident Attitude research
    Tourism Management, 2016
    Co-Authors: Emily P Ayscue, Bynum B Boley, Caitlin Mertzlufft
    Abstract:

    This research note highlights the novelty of integrating location-based services (LBS) available on Smart Phones and Tablets into traditional Resident Attitude survey methodologies such as door-to-door data collection. It specifically reviews how the LBS technology available on mobile devices can be used to systematically capture GPS coordinates of one's residence and integrate this captured spatial information into software such as ArcGIS and SPSS for further analysis. By having GPS coordinates associated with respondents' answers, researchers have an additional layer of information available for conducting a multitude of tests previously not possible with subjective categorical spatial data. Two research applications using the spatial location of residences are provided as examples of how LBS available on mobile devices can be integrated within Resident Attitude projects. The use of LBS technology can help researchers better understand how the distance Residents live from major tourist attractions influences their Attitudes towards tourism.

  • progress and prospect of study on socio culture impact of tourism on destination area
    Progress in geography, 2006
    Co-Authors: Yuan Hong
    Abstract:

    The substantial growth in tourism during the past few decades and projected growth in future decades have been widely documented. The tourist destination changed greatly with the development of tourism and the transformation of society, which can be found in every aspect of the social life in the destination. Since the 1970s, the socio-cultural impacts of tourism have appeared in more and more studies. And being a hot topic, it is still being discussed in recently years. Integrating the views of anthropology in this field, this paper summarized the domestic and international research progress in theories, perspectives, methods, practices and models of the socio-cultural impacts of tourism, in which tourism is perceived to contribute to changes in value systems, individual behavior, Resident Attitude and perceive, collective lifestyles, moral conduct, traditional ceremonies, and community organizations. Finally, the author pointed out the weak sides of the current studies, and the main research directions in the future are given. Studies show that the main problems include: the scholars generally paid much more attention to case study than theory building; the study emphasized quality over quantity; some studies focused too much on the negative impact of tourism, neglecting the positive side; and there was shortage of a normative index system, resulting in weak comparability within studies. The future main directions are as follows: to tightly combine the needs of actual tourism development and management with academic studies; to complete the theory building and technical method improving; to merge multiple disciplinaries; and so on.
