This study examines the influence of residents’ trust in government and organizing committee on their impact perceptions and support for a mega-event, namely, 2014 FIFA World Cup. Findings suggest ...significant relationships between impact perceptions and support. While trust in government is found to be a significant determinant of impact perceptions, findings indicate no significant relationship between trust in government and support, which suggest that the relationship is mediated by impact perceptions. While a positive relationship between trust in the organizing committee and positive impact perceptions is found, findings suggest no significant relationship between trust in the organizing committee and negative impact perceptions. Trust in the organizing committee is also found to have significant positive impact on support.

This study examines the residents' perceptions of the impact of tourism in Benalmádena and the profiles of the residents according to socio-demographic characteristics. A questionnaire assessed how ...these characteristics influence the residents' perceptions towards the environment, economy, and socio-cultural aspects. The survey was administered to a stratified sample of 770 residents in Benalmádena. Results show a significant effect of socio-demographic variables on perception of tourism impact. The educational background, place of birth and how long respondents had been living in the community explain a significant amount of the variance in overall attitudes. Interaction analyses revealed that place of birth moderated the relationship between the tourism dimensions and the years of residence. For instance, the respondents with less than five years of residence showed more positive attitude towards the impact of tourism. We offer a profile of these residents according to their perceptions of the impact of tourism in their community.
•Residents' attitudes towards tourism have an important impact on tourism. These attitudes influence the hospitality, development and sustainability of tourism.•We found three predictors of negative attitudes towards tourism among these residents. The first one was having low educational attainment. The second one was being native-born in Benalmádena. The last one was having lived in Benalmádena for more than ten years.•It would be useful to involve residents in decisions related to tourism.
•The paper explores the issue of tourism, tourists and residents’ attitude to tourism.•It theoretically addresses the issue from an economic point of view.•It presents a conceptual framework to ...analyze the host–guest relations and exchange.•It distinguishes between expected and realized experience.•It explains tourism development in term of modification in the preferences structure.
Theoretical research on the impacts of tourism has a discernible bias towards residents’ perceptions. To understand the evolution and dynamics of tourism, residents’ perceptions have to be analyzed as part of an exchange process involving both residents and tourists. A conceptual framework of host–guest relations is required. This paper presents an economic model that builds on evidence that tourism involves the meeting of two populations. Their interactions and experiences influence their attitudes and opinions. This causes structural changes in individual preferences that affect residents’ perceptions of tourism and tourists’ willingness to pay. To interpret this process we use the Edgeworth Box, representing the “exchange” in terms of “resource-space” against income.
This paper investigates the residents' participation in agro-tourism development by examining their attitudes towards the impacts of agro-tourism on economic, socio-culture, and environment. The data ...was obtained from a survey of residents in Thai Phien Village based on a random sampling method. Factor analysis, descriptive statistics, and comparing means and multiple linear regression were employed to analyze the data. The results reveal that agro-tourism mostly brings positive impacts that outweigh the negative ones on the local community, such as educating visitors about agriculture, enhancing the community pride about local culture, capturing the demands of tourists on the local agricultural products, diversifying local economic activities, encouraging cultural exchange, and also improving public infrastructure and the area appearances. The study also indicated the demographic characteristics of residents are likely to affect their attitudes towards agro-tourism impacts. Using a regression model, the findings yield that the positive impacts of both economic and socio-culture have contributed positively, meanwhile the negative impacts of socio-culture indicate a negative relationship with regard to the participation of local community in agro-tourism development. Thus, the locals’ positive attitudes towards agro-tourism impacts play a vital role, thereby influencing their willingness to active participation in developing agro-tourism of the community. In order to improve the residents’ positive attitudes, the local authorities can develop educational programmes or agro-tourism business model courses to apprise locals of the interests of agro-tourism to individuals as well as the community. It can also build up strategies based on local media, via local media, to provide the panorama of agrotourism and its benefits on locals.
Since 2012, an ongoing housing boom has turned Bishkek into an El Dorado of so-called 'elite housing' or elitki. Against this background, this article seeks to explore elite housing not only as the ...manifestation of 'newbuild gentrification' in the rapidly changing urban landscape of Bishkek but also as a phantasmagorical object of desire and fear that haunts the collective imaginaries of its residents. The article seeks to reveal the paradoxical nature of elite housing being simultaneously the carrier of collective fantasies and a material remainder of their ultimate impossibility.
The introduction of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate, and specifically the introduction of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), has significantly impacted the diagnosis ...of prostate cancer and the management of clinically localized prostate cancer. Indeed, its localizing ability has now opened up opportunities to target focal lesions in partial gland ablation therapy as a treatment option for localized prostate cancer. With negative predictive rates of mpMRI approaching 90% in certain series,1 mpMRI has the ability to discriminate between clinically significant intermediate-to-high-risk prostate cancer and low-risk indolent disease. However, false positives can occur. In recent studies, lesions observed on MRI were classified as tumour on targeted biopsy in 47.6% to over 94% for tumours larger than 0.5 ml in volume.2,3 Herein, we present a case of a rare non-cancer, but putatively pre-malignant prostatic histology that was found on biopsies directed at a category 5 Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) v2 lesion.
