Abstract

Design is one of the newer concepts emerging in tourism research. This study provides an empirical examination of the way tourism-related community place qualities influence residents’ place value. Using a mail survey of residents in a community tourism planning process for sustainability, data were collected on perceptions regarding place qualities (community design features) and evaluations of place value (quality of life). The Place Value Framework was applied to guide the measurement of concepts and analysis. Data were collected using a mail survey of community residents from the tax assessor’s database of those who owned a house, with a final sample of 376. Data were analyzed using principal component factor analysis and MANOVA. The results support a relationship between residents’ perceptions about place qualities in their community and evaluation(s) of place value. The Tourism Place Value Framework has the potential to be applied in other research contexts. Investments in new or modified place qualities can be considered by researchers and communities to influence positive, neutral, or negative resident evaluations of place value.
