    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2025) González García, Rómulo Jacobo; Gregori, Cristian; Martínez-Cevallos, Daniel; Pérez-Campos, Carlos; García-Pascual, Fernando
    The field of sports tourism is receiving increasing attention from various social actors, due to the important impact this economic sector has on various sectors of society. Once a locality becomes a tourist destination, the attachment of local residents will be affected by its development. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse residents' perceptions of the impact of active-sport tourism, community attachment and support for the sector. The results of the study indicate that the higher the level of people's positive perception of the social, cultural, environmental and economic impacts, the higher the support for tourism development. On the other hand, there is also a mediating influence of people's attachment to the community between the relationship of perceived impacts and support for active-sport tourism development. These findings provide a better understanding of people's perspectives for active-sport tourism, which can help guide future decisions regarding tourism practice, development and planning.

    El impacto del Camino de Santiago a escala local: La percepción de los residentes de dos municipios gallegos
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2021) Fernández Fernández, Melchor; Fernández Méndez, Diana; Riveiro García, Dolores
    Este trabajo estudia la percepción de los residentes de dos municipios rurales sobre los impactos económicos, sociales, culturales y medioambientales del Camino de Santiago, a partir de la información cuantitativa obtenida en una encuesta de satisfacción. Los resultados revelan una percepción global positiva y descartan problemas de percepción de saturación vinculados al creciente número de peregrinos que recorren sus localidades. Además, la valoración global no depende de la proximidad de la residencia al Camino, pero es más positiva para los individuos con ingresos vinculados a actividades turística y para los que tienen un contacto más frecuente con los peregrinos.
