내국인 카지노도입에 대한 제주 지역민 태도 연구

Casino gaming is the most rapidly growing force in tourism development in the 1990s. Many research point out its benefits in the form of tax revenues, employment opportunities, tourism and community development undertaken by casinos. Although, it remains controversial as a social policy because of its perceived association with negative impacts such as crime, bankruptcy and traffic congestion. This research has the objective to understand the dimensionality of perception of casino impact and the host community's attitudes toward casino development. The model proposes that support for casino development is influenced by the perceptions of its economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts via conflict and collaboration. Based on the theories proposed the prior studies and social exchange theory, the 8 hypotheses were proposed. As hypothesized, evidence was found to support the direct relationship between the negative socio-cultural/environmental impact and conflict. And inverse relationship existed between positive socio-cultural impact and conflict. Also, positive economic impact had an significant effect on conflict. In case of collaboration, positive economic/socio-cultural impact was found to have an significant effect on it. With the respect to support, it was existed the direct relationship between conflict and it. And inverse relationship existed between conflict and support. These results provide managerial implications for tourism planners and policymakers.
