| Abstract | Budući da turizam ima sve veću ulogu u javnom i privatnom sektoru, njegovo djelovanje ima značajan utjecaj na život i oblikovanje zajednice. Turizam je složeni fenomen koji svojim rastom počinje doticati sve sfere života. Njegov utjecaj odnosi se na ekonomske, ekološke i socijalne aspekte koji kroz svoje promjene mijenjaju način života lokalne zajednice. Kako bi se destinacija razvijala u dobrom smjeru, i tako ne narušavala postojeću resursno-atrakcijsku osnovu grada i kvalitetu života stanovništva, potrebno je uključiti građanstvo u kreiranje turističke ponude pošto su i oni samo nositelji turističke ponude. Gledajući s aspekta grada Varaždina, kultura, povijest i arhitektonsko nasljeđe zasigurno su jedni su od najvećih atributa destinacije pa tako kulturni turizam postaje fokus razvoja destinacije. Novi trendovi u turizmu okreću se specifičnim oblicima turizma koji slijede vodilju održivosti i ravnopravnog razvoja turizma u destinaciji. Tema ovog diplomskog rada je Stavovi lokalnog stanovništva o razvoju turizma grada Varaždina. Cilj rada bio je utvrditi suvremene turističke trendove te pozitivne i negativne učinke turizma u destinaciji, utvrditi resursno-atrakcijsku osnovu grada Varaždina za razvoj turizma, utvrditi stavove i značaj lokalnog stanovništva u razvoju turizma grada Varaždina, iznijeti preporuke usmjerene budućem razvoju turizma grada Varaždina. Radu je prethodilo provođenje istraživanja o utjecaju razvoja turizma na njegovu okolinu i zajednicu te pozitivnim i negativnim učincima koji iz njega proizlaze. Koristio se polustrukturirani intervju kao metoda prikupljanja podataka o trenutnom stanju turizma u gradu Varaždinu i mišljenju lokalnog stanovništva o budućem razvoju turizma grada. Na razvoj turizma destinacije utječe više aspekata, stoga je kroz istraživanje ispitano mišljenje djelatnika u turizmu, osobe privatnog i javnog sektora, te stavovi lokalne zajednice. Temeljno istraživačko pitanje na koje se pokušalo odgovoriti je koji je stav lokalnog stanovništva i uloga u razvoju turizma grada Varaždina? Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da je kulturni turizam u primarnom fokusu turističke ponude grada Varaždina i kako upravo taj oblik turizma ima najveći potencijal razvoja. Utvrđeno je da postoji slaba participacija lokalnog stanovništva u kreiranju strategije razvoja turizma te u tom pogledu su nužne promjene i poboljšanja. Na kraju rada, na temelju iznesenog, dane su preporuke za daljnji razvoj turizma u gradu Varaždinu. |
