The Potential for Cittaslow Implementation in Mongolia
This article examines the potential for implementing the Cittaslow (Slow City) movement in Mongolia as an alternative sustainable development strategy adapted to nomadic cultural contexts. Mongolia’s contemporary challenges – rapid economic liberalization, influx of international tourists, and pressures on nomadic heritage – parallel conditions that originally motivated the Cittaslow movement in Europe. However, Mongolia’s distinctive nomadic cul…
Rural residents’ social distance with tourists
This study examined the role of basic (i.e. positive and negative) and complex (i.e. emotional solidarity) emotions in explaining residents’ preference for both intimate and casual social encounters (i.e. social distance) with tourists. Considering a burgeoning rural destination in the U.S., known for its natural and cultural amenities, data were collected on-site and online from 511 residents. A two-step sequence of analysis (i.e. confirmatory f…
Rejuvenating Mind and Soul
This study examines the extent to which camping experiences influence campers' restoration, psychological capital, and life satisfaction and the role psychological distress plays in this process. Survey data were collected from 420 Chinese campers and analyzed using multigroup structural equation modeling. Four categories of experiences (i.e., escapist, entertainment, esthetic, and educational experiences) positively impacted restoration, which t…
Natural landscape performance
This study uses environmental psychology theory to explore creative natural landscape performance (NLP), a form of tourism performing arts that combines natural beauty and cultural resources. Tourists who had experienced an NLP during the previous 2 years were surveyed, and 408 valid responses were collected through this online survey. The findings indicate that the natural setting of NLPs possesses the key characteristics of restorative environm…
Compulsory volunteers’ nostalgia and its relationships with positive memories, age, past experiences, and volunteer intention
Re-theorizing social emotions in tourism
Although social emotions can serve as an effective analytic lens through which to study residents’ reactions to tourists and tourism, limited theoretical discussion exists examining how social emotions are related to perceptions or behaviors. Extant literature instead has knitted together empirical support in postulating the relationships among social emotions, perceptions, and behaviors. While such an approach is also considered theoretical in a…
Intermediary organizations as supporters of residents’ innovativeness and empowerment in community-based tourism
Despite the importance of intermediary organizations in promoting community-based tourism, little is known about how different types of social support from intermediary organizations assist residents' capacity building, such as their innovativeness or empowerment. To address this research gap, this study collected survey responses from 353 South Korean residents participating in a government-supported community-based tourism initiative and examin…
The bi‐directional relationship between place attachment and emotional solidarity in a rural destination
Despite the evidence suggesting emotional solidarity as an antecedent of placement attachment, tourism research has maintained the monolithic view where place attachment antecedes emotional solidarity. To challenge the conventional view, survey data from rural tourists in South Korea were collected and analyzed. Stepwise regression analysis results confirmed that the two constructs were bi‐directionally related and the model assuming emotional so…
Residents’ perceived risk, emotional solidarity, and support for tourism amidst the Covid-19 pandemic
Knowledge, empowerment, and action
With resident empowerment widely recognized as a prerequisite for sustainable tourism development, this study tested how residents’ perceived knowledge of tourism affects their perceptions of psychological, social, and political empowerment through tourism, and how these, in turn, lead to their political action regarding tourism using Rocha’s (1997 Rocha, E. M. (1997). A ladder of empowerment. Journal of Planning Education and Research, 17(1), 31…
Sport Tourists’ Team Identification and Revisit Intention
This study explored the relationships among sport tourists’ team identification, sport nostalgia, and revisit intention. In addressing the research goal, survey data were collected from 487 sport tourists to professional baseball games in South Korea, which were then analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results revealed that team identification positively affected sport nostalgia, and sport nostalgia had a positive effect on revisit inten…
Cross-cultural Validation of the Nostalgia Scale for Sport Tourism (NSST)
This study evaluated the cross-cultural generalizability of the Nostalgia Scale for Sport Tourism (NSST), which was originally developed and examined in the context of football tourists in the United States. Data were collected from baseball tourists in South Korea, and multilevel confirmatory factor analysis and multilevel structural equation modelling were used for data analysis. Results supported the reliability and the validity of the scale b…
How to be Resilient? Local Philanthropy as a Collective Response to Natural Disasters
When communities are struck by natural disasters, human service organizations play an important role in supplementing governmental aids and catering to immediate humanitarian needs. Social capital is one of many factors affecting resource mobilization directed toward human service organizations as a proxy for local philanthropy. This study analyzed the effect of social capital on local philanthropy in communities affected by natural disasters and…
Explaining minority residents’ attitudes of ethnic enclave tourism from general perceptions of tourism impacts
This study examined how Brazilian and Korean residents in two Japanese towns differed in their views of tourism in general and ethnic neighborhood tourism (ENT) focused on their own culture and if their perceptions of tourism in general translate into their corresponding attitudes about ENT. A series of MANOVAs revealed that Brazilian residents held more positive views toward tourism in general and ENT than their Korean counterparts. Although the…
Residents' attitude towards domestic tourists explained by contact, emotional solidarity and social distance
Considering Tobler's first law of geography in a tourism context
Conceptualizing community resilience
Community development and related approaches have become prominent in academic circles, resulting in the emergence and resurgence of related community-level notions. With the expansion of terms, conceptual confusions have surfaced. The notion of community resilience has gone through this process, as its development/understanding is still in progress. Community resilience has been misused/confused with other notions including community agency, com…
