Resumen

Este artículo segmenta a los residentes de la localidad minera de Minas de Riotinto (Andalucía, España) según sus percepciones sobre los efectos personales y comunitarios del turismo y clasifica los segmentos resultantes de acuerdo con sus actitudes hacia el turismo, utilizando para ello un enfoque tridimensional que diferencia tres componentes actitudinales: afectiva, cognitiva y conductual. Para ello, se aplica sucesivamente un análisis de conglomerados y el test de Kruskal-Wallis a las respuestas de una muestra de 346 vecinos de la localidad. Los resultados obtenidos permiten identificar tres grandes grupos de residentes: “partidarios interesados y entusiastas”, “partidarios desinteresados y moderados” y “residentes incongruentes e impulsivos”. Contrariamente a lo esperado, todos los grupos tienen actitudes afectivas favorables hacia el desarrollo turístico en su territorio. Sin embargo, existen diferencias significativas entre grupos respecto a las dimensiones cognitivas y conductuales de la actitud.
