The impact of rural residents'perception of spatial rights and interests on tourism participation behavior:A study incorporating the participatory role of identity construction
This study explores the influence of rural residents'perception of spatial rights and interests on their tourism participation behavior,with a focus on the participatory role of identity construction.Rural space,serving as both the livelihood capital and social arena for generations of rural inhabitants,constitutes the foundational support for the development of the tourism industry.The extent to which rural residents can access corresponding spatial rights and interests is crucial for fostering fairness and sustainability in modern rural tourism industry development.Moreover,the process of identity construction among rural residents,particularly in response to the evolving spatial production modes driven by the tourism industry,significantly shapes their behaviors in participating in tourism activities.By delineating the category of spatial rights and interests post-intervention of tourism capital and characterizing stages of rural identity construction through self-consistency and self-efficacy,this research constructs a mechanism model of rural tourism industry behavior intention.Utilizing the partial least squares structural equation modeling approach and empirical data from Matao village in Shandong province,eastern China,the study finds that residents'perception of spatial power and benefit expectation positively influences their attitudes toward tourism behavior,thus fostering proactive intentions to participate in tourism.Notably,the influence of spatial benefit expectation outweighs that of spatial power perception.Furthermore,self-efficacy emerges as a significant mediating factor in this relationship.Furthermore,the study reveals that self-consistency plays a moderating role,exhibiting a negative effect on the pathway from tourism support attitude to willingness to engage in tourism activities.Intriguingly,proximity to tourism industry spaces correlates with weaker self-consistency among residents.Based on these findings,the study proposes strategies to optimize the distribution of spatial"rights"and"benefits",bolster rural residents'cultural confidence and self-identity,and promote fairness in industry rights and interests through equitable industry space practices.
