旅游小企业与旅游地社会文化变迁:阳朔西街案例

本文以阳朔西街的旅游小企业为例对旅游小企业与旅游地社会文化变迁的关系进行了具体分析。论文首先研究了西街旅游业发展以后产生的种种社会文化变迁的现象,在此基础上分析了西街的旅游小企业在旅游地的社会文化变迁中所发挥的作用:西街旅游小企业的经营内容之一就是中西方文化的交流;旅游小企业的从业人员成为社区社会文化变迁的先锋人群;西街旅游小企业是当地居民与外来游客进行交流或沟通的一个平台。最终文章得出旅游小企业的存在直接促进或加速了社区的这种社会文化变迁的研究结论。     

基于区域城市体系的旅游地域系统空间组织研究——以江苏为例

本文强调了旅游资源"集中性"的功能属性,并区分了地域、线性、等级、节点四种集中性,揭示了旅游资源经济、交通指向性的空间布局特征。通过分析旅游地域系统同区域城市体系在要素、结构及功能上的多层耦合关系,归纳出一定区域城市支持下的旅游地域系统空间组织---地域旅游城市网络等级体系模式。并通过分析城市体系空间结构、城市旅游功能结构,结合旅游业产业特性,划分出三个等级构成:中心旅游城市、旅游城市、特色旅游城镇或旅游景区。最后给出了江苏地域旅游城市网络体系空间组织。     

试论延长旅游地生命周期的模式

Butler的旅游地生命周期模式主要是一种旅游地生命周期的自然生长模式。但随着旅游业的深入发展,一个旅游地的生命周期是可以进行人为的控制和调整的,以亲身参与的两个案例进行了比较。对如何评估旅游地所处的生命周期的阶段,提出了相应的参考指标,为开发者及早发现旅游地存在的问题,研究对策,提供了帮助。     

旅游目的地推广与影视旅游研究

在现代科技和经济全球化迅猛发展的背景下,新的旅游目的地推广方式影视旅游随之产生。影视旅游之所以成为目的地推广工具,电影电视中出现的相关旅游地的旅游形象在其中起了重要作用,它影响了旅游者的旅游兴趣,最终促成旅游行为。本文在现有文献理论和实证研究的基础上,探讨了影视旅游推广的原理和如何运用影视旅游作为目的地推广工具,最大化推广旅游目的地,最终使得旅游目的地在竞争中占据有利地位,实现利益最大化。     

自驾车旅游及其产品的深度开发研究——以广东省肇庆市为例

文章在归纳分析自驾车旅游兴起的社会背景、旅游者行为特征基础上,对广东传统旅游目的地肇庆市自驾车旅游的发展条件、发展现状与存在问题进行了思考,认为肇庆具有许多发展自驾车旅游的有利条件。尽管肇庆自驾车旅游市场已初步形成,但也有一些深层次的问题有待解决,离成熟的的自驾车旅游目的地仍有不少距离。在对肇庆自驾车旅游的市场特征进行调查分析的基础上,文章相对系统地提出肇庆自驾车产品旅游深度开发的若干思路与策略。包括:通过资源整合与区域合作丰富自驾车旅游线路;继续完善公路网络、交通标识与自驾车服务站建设;增强旅游信息系统尤其是网络的预定与服务功能;加快汽车旅馆等经济型酒店及汽车营地的建设;建立保障自驾车旅游发展的长效机制等。     

基于分层聚类的旅游目的地营销系统研究

旅游目的地营销系统是一个重要的研究领域。利用1068份长沙市居民的有效问卷,针对湖南省内的景区景点、信息渠道和出游方式进行分层聚类,发现在长沙居民心目中,湖南省各景点存在7大类型。就各类型目的地现实客源市场的行为特征进行了探讨,针对各类型总结了不同的信息渠道、销售渠道,给出了不同的营销建议,并归纳出各旅游目的地在空间距离上形成的市民观光减压活动圈、城市商务/会议活动圈、猎奇探秘活动圈。     

旅游目的地形象概念体系辨析

针对我国旅游目的地形象研究中存在的基础理论薄弱,概念应用混乱的现实,本文系统梳理了30年来国内外目的地形象相关概念,并得出规律性结论。在文献回顾基础上,独创地提出"旅游目的地形象蒲公英模型"和"基于形象构成及生成过程的旅游目的地形象概念体系",分别用于揭示目的地形象内在结构和归纳对比以往文献中提出的相关概念。     

School Choice and Educational Stratification

Recent growth in the number of school choice programs across the country has ignited debate on the stratifying effects of these programs. In the context of interdistrict open enrollment, this paper analyzes—both theoretically and empirically—how choice programs affect stratification levels through the mechanisms of (i) the relative characteristics of program participants and nonparticipants and (ii) the schooling choices of different groups of program participants. The theoretical analysis uses Monte Carlo simulation techniques to analyze a hypothetical world where interdistrict choice is available to students in three school districts that are allowed to vary in student composition, the type of students who take advantage of the interdistrict choice program, and schooling choices of students who open enroll. The results of these simulations provide an understanding of the conditions under which an interdistrict open enrollment program leads to increases, decreases, or no changes in stratification levels. The empirical analysis uses data from the universe of students attending Colorado public schools in 2009–10 to examine how the state's interdistrict choice program affects stratification levels. It also analyzes the factors responsible for any increases or decreases in stratification and finds both participation patterns and differences in schooling decisions across groups to play important roles. The paper concludes with a discussion of its implications for research and policy.     

Effect of dimensions of place attachment on residents’ word-of-mouth behavior

The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the effect of residents’ different dimensions of place attachment on their word-of-mouth (WOM) behavior in two cities: Sydney, Australia and Shanghai, China. A six-dimensional construct of place attachment is proposed based upon a detailed literature review: four attitudinal dimensions (place identity, place dependence, affective attachment, social bonding) and two interactional dimensions (place memory, place expectation) are proposed to reflect different aspects of a resident's attachment to a place. To test the dimensionality of place attachment and relationships between constructs, a survey was completed by 691 residents in the two targeted cities (361 from Sydney and 330 from Shanghai), and a structural equation modeling instrument was applied to analyze the data. The findings of the empirical study statistically support the dimensionality of place attachment proposed, and reveal that, in general, interactional dimensions of place attachment have an effect on WOM behavior. The results suggest that WOM behavior of residents of the two cities is influenced by different attitudinal dimensions of place attachment: Shanghai resident's place identity and social bonding predict one-to-one WOM, while Sydney residents’ affective attachment to Sydney influences their one-to-one WOM behavior. This analysis provides insights into residents’ psychology and behavior in different tourism destinations, as well as important inputs for the sustainable development of destination branding and C2C tourism communication in these two cities.     

The Two Social Philosophies of Ostroms' Institutionalism

The article argues that Ostroms' institutionalism has a dimension that is complex and profound enough to deserve to be considered a “social theory” or a “social philosophy.” The article pivots around the thesis that the “social philosophy” behind the Bloomington School's research agenda has in fact two facets that may or may not be consistent with each other. The article describes the main features of the two facets, offers a brief overview of the development of these ideas, and clarifies their relationship to Public Choice theory and alternative visions of public goods analysis, public administration, and governance. The argument goes further to raise the provocative question whether the two “social philosophies” involved in the approach undertaken by Elinor Ostrom and Vincent Ostrom are necessarily and inseparably connected with the rest of their research program.
