Abstract
This chapter examines the theoretical foundations of residents' support (RS) for sustainable cultural heritage tourism (SCHT) in Qufu, China, the birthplace of Confucianism. It explores the economic, sociocultural, environmental, and political factors influencing residents' attitudes towards tourism. Integrating frameworks like social exchange theory, place attachment, and community participation, it discusses how local involvement drives the sustainability of heritage tourism. Key challenges such as overcrowding, environmental degradation, and rising living costs are addressed, highlighting residents as crucial stakeholders. Residents' support is essential for preserving cultural integrity and maximizing socio-economic benefits. A balanced approach aligning residents' needs with tourism goals can foster resilience, community involvement, and long-term sustainability. The chapter calls for ongoing research and policy development to enhance resident engagement.
