[여행에서 사회적 관계는 무엇인가?]

​전통적인 사회관계와 여행행태 변화에 따라 사회적 관계의 특성도 변하고 있다.  

이와 관련해 여행에서의 관계의 범위를 명확히 규정해야 한다. 

사회관계에 관한 국외 연구는 사회적 관계론 틀을 기준으로

개인적 차원의 관계 욕구, 대인관계 차원의 상호작용, 관계효과적 차원으로 분류된다.

사회적 관계의 유형은 동반관광객뿐만 아니라 새로운 관계로 점차 확장되며, 

행위적 교류뿐만 아니라 정서적 교류로 관계 형성과정이 확장된다. 

이런 관계 형성의 순환성으로 인해 사회적 관계는 연속되고

향후 여행 의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify international research trends in the social relationships of travel. Specifically, the study intends to define the scope and examine the change of trends in various characteristics of social relationships over time. A total of 83 papers published in 43 Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) journals were selected for analysis. Utilizing the content analysis method, these trends were examined from three perspectives in travel: 1) subject, 2) relational object, and 3) relational effects. Three dimensions of social relations theory; the personal dimension, the interpersonal dimension, and the relational effect dimension, were employed in the analysis. Based on previous research, each study was classified by year, subject, journal, research method, and analysis method. The results show that the number of studies began to increase in 2013, until reaching a peak in 2019. Moreover, in the personal dimension, the study found that the needs for relatedness both directly and indirectly affected travel motivation. In the interpersonal dimension, the results showed that behavioral exchange is preceded by emotional exchange. Lastly, in the relational effect dimension, social relationships in travel have an effect on increasing psychological benefits and on strengthening social utility. The study reveals that social relations in travel have expandability and circularity, while the objects of social relationship expand from existing relationships to new relationships such as residents and service employees. These findings suggest the importance of promoting the formation of multidimensional relationships among travel stakeholders.
