ABSTRACT

Community-based rural tourism is characterized by the interdependent nature of local residents using cultural and natural resources and human networks to create economic benefits for the region. It is important to understand collective efficacy in community-based rural tourism that performs interdependent tasks with the belief of group members that group competence is capable of performing specific tasks in common. This study conducted a case study with an exploratory study on the formation of collective efficacy in community-based rural tourism. The study site of the case was selected as Sumi village in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, and the research was conducted using semi-structured interviews and internal reports of the community organization. Data were analyzed to understand collective efficacy among residents who operate rural tourism. Results showed that collective efficacy was formed in three dimensions: conflict resolution and decision making, resource utilization and redistribution, and technology and information acquisition. Also, collective efficacy was formed step by step at each dimension.
