Research On The Construction Of Tourists' Intimacy From The Perspective Of The Body

As one of the most fundamental relationships in human society,close relationship has become an important topic in social psychology research in recent years.However,previous studies in this field mainly focused on descriptive research,ignoring the research on the process of relationship construction Tourism is a way of life in modern society.It is very common to generate close relationship in the corresponding tourism process.Therefore,this paper aims to explore the construction of the close relationship among the subjects of mobility in tourism,to provide a way to reveal and combat the structural contradictions of modernity,and to make up for the gap in the processing study o f close relationship in tourism research.Tourists have become an important force in the construction and reconstruction of romantic tourism image of Lijiang ancient town,which is a hotspot area of tourism research in recent years,and the process of its close relationship construction in the place needs urgent attention.With the influence of"body turn" and "emotional turn" in geography in recent years,body research has attracted much attention,while the appropriateness of the tourism study and close relationship study from the perspective of body has not been paid enough attention.Therefore,this paper studies the construction process of tourists' close relationship from the perspective of body,and tries to answer the following questions:(1)How is the close relationship between tourists in Lijiang ancient town constructed?(2)How to interpret such a construction process?(3)What is the practical value of the study?This paper would like to enrich the theoretical system of the study of close relationship in tourism,and to respond to the development needs of the study of close relationship in tourism.On the other hand,in practice,it provides new ideas for the sustainable development of tourism destinations and better meet the needs of tourists.Based on these,this paper focuses on the group of tourists in Lijiang ancient town from the perspective of body,takes the research method of qualitative and quantitative combination,constructs the theoretical model of the close relationship in tourism in Lijiang ancient town,and makes a preliminary exploration on the practical value of the theoretical model,at the same time develops and verifies the scale.Finally,the following conclusions are drawn:(1)Based on grounded theory analysis of the text of guestbook,this paper constructs the process model of the close relationship to tourists,including three main categories and nine subcategories,three main categories of which are physical space,emotional space and metaphorical space,nine secondary category of which are spatial uniqueness,spatial practice,timeliness emotion,spatial emotion,social emotion,reflection,behavior,relationships,and self.(2)On the theoretical model of tourists' close relationship construction,this paper takes body as the theoretical perspective to interpret the process of tourists' close relationship construction.The process includes the physical appearance,corporeality of space and the spatiality of body.The construction process is as follows:?"Physical appearance" means that tourists break away from the shackles of modernity into the tourism space.Spatial transformation and close perception of space stimulate the development of tourists' perceptual ability,thus providing the possibility for tourists to establish new social relations in the place.?"Corporeality of space " means that tourists perceive space through body who interact with space and others,interpret spatial meaning,and realize the flow of intimacy among body,space and emotion.?"The spatiality of body".In the process of two-way interaction and shaping between space and body,tourists in the metaphorical space of the body experience from the perception of life,the change of life attitude,self-disclosure,care for others,trust,commitment to finally reach the self-access,improvement and identity.As a result,the flow of intimacy between body,space and emotion is embedded into people's interpersonal communication,forming the close relationship of "strangers,bosom friends","journey family" and "encounter lovers".Moreover,this close relationship reshapes the space with ritualized emotional expression,making the close relationship of tourists continuously construct and cycle.(3)Taking the construction model of tourists' close relationship as the main framework,which is based on grounded theory analysis,the scale of tourists' close relationship was developed for project analysis,exploratory analysis and confirmatory factor analysis,finally forming a stability scale with 35 questions and 9 dimensions.It provides a better quantitative tool for tourists' close relationship evaluation.The innovations of this thesis are as follows:(1)From the perspective of research theory,this paper studies the construction of tourists' close relationship from the perspective of "body",which is the supplement of the body perspective in tourism research.(2)In the research content,the concept of close relationship is expanded,the establishment of close relationship is regarded as a process.Based on this,the process of tourist intimate relationship construction is explored.The combination of tourism and close relationship research enriches domestic research in this field.
