Abstract

Tourism conflicts occur frequently in tourist destinations due to unbalanced tourism development opportunities, uneven distribution of interests and other reasons. Related studies have shown that the key to tourism destination conflicts is the transformation of the objective fact of inequality into a subjective sense of relative deprivation perceived by tourist destination residents. Therefore, the effective solution of tourism conflicts in tourist destinations depends on an in-depth study of the generation of residents' relative deprivation. The generation of relative deprivation is based on people's reference selection and social comparison, but there is a lack of in-depth empirical discussion and theoretical research in the field of tourism. Based on this, the study takes the four communities of Ciqikou ancient town as examples to explore how the residents of tourist destination to make reference choices and social comparisons with them. It is found that the reference selection of tourist destination residents is related to various circles, which is shown as a self-centered differential sequence circle structure, indicating that tourist destination residents are faced with multiple reference circles in reality. Tourist destination residents tend to across multiple reference circles and make crosscomparisons in vertical-horizontal, individual-group and other dimensions, resulting in diversified comparative differences.

Key words
