Chichin District of Kaohsiung City not only embraces the harbor coastal space of natural water coast resources, but also owns rich human historic sites, delicious seafood cuisine, etc. To most of the local residents or tourists, the district all along has tremendous tourist charm. In order to attract more tourists to visit this district and meet the residents¡¦ eager requests for recreation, in recent years Kaohsiung municipal government has been positively developing diversified tourist facilities and items in this district in expectation for promotion of people¡¦s satisfaction on the overall tourist recreational experience. Therefore, a deep understanding of the residents¡¦ or tourists¡¦ satisfaction, extent of recognition and background difference towards the tourism development of the district is an important subject when taking options in the keenly competitive tourist environment in future. And this investigation can also provide a reference for the relevant departments to plan for their future direction and to review their work for improvement. This research mainly investigates from three aspects: ¡§community conscious-ness,¡¨ ¡§recognition towards the impact of tourism development¡¨ and ¡§participation attitude and environmental residential experience,¡¨ etc. of the Chichin residents of Kaohsiung. In studying the Kaohsiung municipal government¡¦s urging for tourism development of Chichin District, the research meanwhile gives an understanding on the residents¡¦ concentration of community consciousness, their attitude towards the development of tourism and their residential experience, etc. The results of the research can also provide more appropriate strategies for the Kaohsiung municipal government in positioning the future tourism development of Chichin District of Kaohsiung City by using the effective resources. The results of the research show that over the ¡§analysis on residents¡¦ participation attitude and environmental residential experience,¡¨ the residents currently residing in this district mostly gave such reasons for their residence as ¡§residing here generation after generation,¡¨ ¡§friends and relatives mostly living in this district¡¨ and ¡§relationship of work,¡¨ etc. The ratio of these factors is 75.2% of the tested samples. In this way, the researcher can interpret the situation that among these residents, being different from those of other districts, there established tight kinship and friendship. And they are helpful to the concentration of community consciousness. At the same time we can learn from the results of the research that there is an obvious correlation between ¡§sex,¡¨ ¡§residing alley¡¨ in the attributes of the residents¡¦ basic background, and ¡§high or low group of social consciousness,¡¨ and ¡§high or low group of recognition of tourism development impact¡¨ respectively. After analysis on the results of this research, it is suggested that the actions that the relevant administrative departments should take are: 1.¡§Reserve of resources,¡¨ including the confirmation for establishment of a system for tourism attraction in Chichin District of Kaohsiung City, a unification of the things and rights of management so as to avoid excessive development, etc. 2. ¡§Community development,¡¨ an effective use of the properties of the generally high community consciousness among the residents of Chichin, and a maintenance of high extent of concentration through the assistance by the third department. Finally, this research also mentions that if the angle is changed by taking the experience and recognition of residents as a reference for planning the development of the district, then perhaps the optimal effects can be acquired from development.

Studien undersöker hur Halmstads kommun arbetar med och vilken inställning invånarna har till invånardeltagande i Östra Halmstad. Syftet är att få en ökad förståelse för vilka upplevelser kommunrepresentanter och invånare har samt vilka som inkluderas och representeras i arbetet. Dessutom att ta reda på ifall det finns ett intresse hos invånarna att delta i områdesutveckling. Empirin nås genom semistrukturerade intervjuer och bearbetas med utgångspunkt i en hermeneutisk ansats. Vidare används fyra sociologiska teorier kopplade till invånardeltagande och stadsplanering; Rolf Lidskogs teori om det offentliga rummet, Jan Inge Jönhills distinktionspar inklusion och exklusion, Don Mitchells begrepp rätt till staden samt Kevin Murphys definition av social hållbarhet. Resultatet visar att Halmstads kommun arbetar med invånardeltagande men att den trots detta inte har en gemensam definition av begreppet. Kommunen inkluderar enbart vissa samhällsgrupper och det är oklart ifall samtliga invånare representeras i arbetet, fastän det finns ett intresse bland invånarinformanterna att delta. De inte heller kännedom om kommunens arbete med invånardeltagande och även om kommunen har en jämlik vision finns det områden som behöver utvecklas för att arbetet ska bli socialt hållbart. / This study examines how Halmstads municipality is working with residents participation in East Halmstad and what attitude residents have. The aim is to gain a better understanding of which municipal representatives and residents experiences, and who is included and represented. Also, to find out if there is an interest among residents to participate in area development. The material is reached through semistructured interviews and a hermeneutic approach is used. Further, four sociological theories are central; Rolf Lidskog's theory of public space, Jan Inge Jönhills distinguishing couple inclusion/exclusion, Don Mitchell's concept of the right to the city and Kevin Murphy's definition of social sustainability. The result shows that the municipality works with residents participation, but it does not have a common definition of the concept. The municipality only includes certain social groups and it is unclear if all residents are represented, although there is an interest among residents to participate. The residents don´t have knowledge of the municipality's work and Halmstads municipality has an equal vision, but some areas needs to be developed in order for the work to be socially sustainable.
