 note = {Tourism, particularly community tourism, has been vigorously adopted as an economic
magnifier in almost all economies. I have been advocated in tourism literature as a remarkable
contributor to socioeconomic and environmental justice, because of its contributions to creating
employment opportunities and promoting cultural and environmental conservation activities
at the local level. A community`s enthusiasm towards tourism may be undermined by among
others, diverse stakeholders` vested interests, and elite hegemonies in the decision-maker
process. These factors often obstruct the equal participation in the tourism decision-maker
process. Although the tourism literature has stressed the importance of local community
participation in tourism decision-maker, research on the actual level of community participation
is relatively scarce; Among the limited research is Arnstein`s（ 1969） analysis, called the ladder
of citizen participation in which she explained the progression of non-participation to citizen
control. This study aims to fill such research gap by exploring the actual level of resident
participation in a community setting based on Arnstein`s framework.},
