Social network scale, connection, and structure of female residents influenced by ecotourism:A case of Wulingyuan World Natural Heritage Site

以武陵源世界遗产地社区女性居民社会网络作为研究对象,通过问卷调查法和半结构访谈法,对武陵源区袁家界村、龙尾巴村和马儿山村女性居民采取抽样问卷、滚雪球式访谈等方法,进行定量数据与定性分析相结合的研究,对网络规模、网络中心性和网络密度的数据进行分析发现,武陵源世界自然遗产地不同位置社区女性居民的社会网络规模、社会网络连接和社会网络结构均存在明显差异,表明生态旅游的参与程度与女性居民的社会网络存在高度相关性,直接影响社会网络规模、连接和结构。生态旅游影响下女性居民的社会网络存在以下特征:(1)女性居民社会交往范围逐步扩大,社会网路规模明显增加;(2)女性居民社会关系逐渐多元化,社会网络关系连接日益丰富;(3)女性居民获得了异质性信息和资源,社会网络结构渐趋稳定;(4)女性居民旅游增权权益明显,推动女性社会网络不断优化。
