Interactions between local people and guests/visitors are the main elements of tourism experience. And local festivals, considered as a significant part of festival tourism, are quite important in this context. Though many studies have been conducted about interaction between local residents and guests tourists, emotional solidarity remains as a concept which has not yet been studied much in tourism literature on local festivals. The aim of this study is to examine emotional solidarity in tourism festival literature and to determine the relationships between perceptions of local people related to social impacts of festivals and emotional solidarity they feel for guests/visitors.,In line with this purpose, a quantitative approach was adopted, and 19th weaving, culture and handicrafts festival held in Buldan was chosen to be studied as it is an important festival for local people dwelling in Buldan, Denizli province located in Aegean Region in Turkey. The study data were obtained through questionnaire method conducted with Buldan residents during the 19th festival (June, 28th–30th, 2019). The sample was determined with random sampling method.,The data were analyzed via factor and regression analyses. As a result of factor analysis, social impacts of the festivals were grouped under 6 factors (under 3 subfactors of social benefits: communal benefits, cultural–educational benefits, social unity benefits; under 3 subfactors of social costs: concerns related to social resources, concerns related to life quality and concerns related to social order).,Local people's perceptions of social impacts of festivals must be determined in order to find their impacts on emotional solidarity, and deficiencies must be remedied. Local governments who organize festivals to invigorate local economies usually try to attract more visitors with the purpose of maximizing economic impacts of festivals, and this is done without placing much importance on the social problems and social change that may arise in the future (Crandall, 1994).,Relationships were determined between emotional solidarity and residents' perceptions towards social and cultural–educational benefits as well as their concerns related to social resources and life quality.

节日的社会影响和情感团结

当地人与游客/游客之间的互动是旅游体验的主要内容。在这种情况下,被视为节日旅游重要组成部分的当地节日非常重要。尽管已经进行了许多有关本地居民与游客之间互动的研究,但情感团结仍然是一个概念,在有关当地节日的旅游文献中尚未对此进行深入研究。这项研究的目的是研究旅游节庆文学中的情感团结,并确定与节日的社会影响相关的当地人的看法与他们对客人/游客的情感团结之间的关系。被采用,并进行了19次编织,选择在布尔丹举行的文化和手工艺品节是要研究的,因为它是居住在土耳其爱琴海地区德尼兹利省布尔丹的当地人的重要节日。研究数据通过第19届音乐节(2019年6月28日至30日)与布尔丹居民进行的问卷调查方法获得。采用随机抽样方法确定样本。通过因子分析和回归分析对数据进行分析。作为因素分析的结果,节日的社会影响分为6个因素(社会收益的3个子因素:公共收益,文化教育收益,社会统一收益;社会成本的3个子因素:与社会资源相关的关注,与生活质量有关的问题和与社会秩序有关的问题。),当地人 必须确定节日对社会影响的认识,以便发现节日对情感团结的影响,并且必须弥补不足。举办节日活动以振兴当地经济的地方政府通常试图吸引更多的游客,以最大程度地发挥节日的经济影响,而这样做并没有过多地关注未来可能出现的社会问题和社会变革(Crandall,1994年) )。确定了情感团结与居民对社会和文化教育收益的看法以及他们对社会资源和生活质量的关注之间的关系。
