ABSTRACT

This study aims to examine the attitudes of the Chungsando Island’s residents toward the business of tourism resources. The ‘Economic impact’, the ‘environmental impact’ factor and the ‘Slow City movement practice’ factor show statistical significance with the result that the factors analyzed affected the level of satisfaction throughout the tourism resource industry. Residents expect the economic impact to show the dissatisfaction with ongoing tourism resource business. Therefore, a variety of policies are required to give direct benefits to the real income of residents. The reason why the environmental factors are analyzed significantly is that positive effects are expected from the tourism resource industry despite environmental problems. Furthermore, residents who do not implement the Slow City movement are not satisfied with the tourism resource industry. It is interpreted that the residents show passive attitudes toward the movement practice. They have complaints concerning the direct benefits from this movement even though they are sympathetic to the ideology. In order to overcome this problem, damage to the landscape should be avoided and we should focus on the development of added tourism revenue. In addition, we have to create a policy focusing on a Resource business that preserves the original Slow City purposes. Then, we must re-ignite a movement ‘of residents, for the residents, by the residents’.
