Abstract
Residents are the main factors that influence tourism development in a community. The integration of community residents into the overall development of local tourist attractions has attached significance to the study of the perception of tourism's impact on residents in tourist destinations. Sense of place reflects the unique emotional connection between people and the place and provides a fresh perspective for further research on residents' perception of tourism impact. A theoretical model of sense of place–development expectation–impact perception was established based on a sense of place and development expectation. This was verified through a case study of the Jiuzhaigou Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province. Residents with a strong sense of place have high expectations of tourism development and a great perception of tourism impact. Development expectation indirectly intensifies the effect of a sense of place on residents' perception of tourism impact. The overall development of community tourism is a critical factor that influences the perception and attitude of residents. This paper guides planning for the development of tourist destinations.
