Configuration path analysis of factors influencing subjective well-being of residents in tourist destinations from a livelihood capital perspective
Subjective well-being embodies the value kernel of tourism development to promote sustainable livelihoods of residents.This paper constructs an analytical framework and indicator system from the perspective of livelihood capital,and applies fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA)to explore the complex impact of livelihood capital on residents'subjective well-being by taking Simolawa Village in Tengchong,Yunnan Province,as a case study,in order to reveal the configuration paths affecting the subjective well-being of residents in tourism sites.The study shows that residents of Simolawa Village generally have higher levels of subjective well-being,with higher satisfaction in environmental aspects and relatively low economic satisfaction;a single dimension of livelihood capital cannot be a necessary condition for enhancing the subjective well-being of residents in tourist destinations,but it has an important impact on subjective well-being,with cultural,psychological,social,and financial capitals,in particular,being the most critical;cultural + psychological + financial capital,cultural + psychological + financial + physical capital,social + cultural + financial capital,the three combinations constitute the main configuration path of factors influencing the subjective well-being of residents in tourist destinations.The study helps to deepen the theoretical knowledge of how tourism can enhance people's well-being and show the attributes of the happiness industry,and provides a basis for decision-making to improve the subjective well-being of residents in tourist destinations.
