Resumen


This article presents a study on the community perception of tourism and its sociocultural impact from the point of view of the inhabitants of the coastal communes of the Bellavista Parish and areas bordering the La Tembladera wetland, a protected area with a tourist high potential. The references analyzed discuss the sociocultural impact involved in tourist development, interaction and influences between rural communities and tourism. The records obtained were highly reliable according to the reliability analysis (Cronbach’s ). Within the analysis, the component that presented the most interactive relationships had to do with the personal safety of the residents, who said that this is not affected by the flow of visitors during the local tourist seasons. The analysis of the sociocultural impact of tourism shows us that this can be related to the perception that the residents of rural communities of Bellavista Parish have.

Keywords: Community perception, tourism, sociocultural impact, personal safety, rural communities. 

Resumen.

En este artículo se presenta una investigación sobre la percepción comunitaria del turismo y su impacto sociocultural desde el punto de vista de los habitantes de las comunas ribereñas de la parroquia Bellavista y sectores aledaños al Humedal La Tembladera, un sector protegido con un alto potencial turístico. Las referencias analizadas discuten el impacto sociocultural que implica el desarrollo turístico, la interacción e influencia entre las comunidades rurales y el turismo. Los registros obtenidos resultaron altamente confiables según el análisis de fiabilidad (Cronbach’s . Dentro del análisis el componente que presentó más relaciones de interacción tiene que ver con la seguridad personal de los residentes, la cual manifiestan que no se ve afectada por el flujo de visitantes durante las temporadas turísticas locales. El análisis de los impactos socioculturales del turismo nos muestra que éstos pueden ser relacionados con la percepción que tienen los residentes de las comunidades rurales de la parroquia Bellavista.
