居民對城市社區(qū)內(nèi)非賭場類博彩的感知差異——以香港為例

摘要： 香港的非賭場類博彩發(fā)展成熟,是研究此類博彩產(chǎn)業(yè)的良好案例。本研究采取問卷調(diào)查的方式,收集可供分析的603份問卷,采用單因子方差分析(one way ANOVA)等統(tǒng)計手段,得出以下研究結(jié)論:香港居民對于博彩業(yè)發(fā)展的態(tài)度不算積極;居民由于性別、年齡、受教育程度和職業(yè)的不同,出現(xiàn)對于博彩業(yè)態(tài)度與感知的差異。男性、老年人、受教育程度較高的人、中產(chǎn)階級更加支持博彩發(fā)展或者更多的感知到其帶來的正面影響,主要在于他們從中得到了更多的利益。本研究為香港政府進(jìn)一步規(guī)劃和管制非賭博類博彩業(yè)發(fā)展提供參考依據(jù)。
Non-casino gaming,such as mark six lottery,horse racing,and football betting,is considerably increasing in Hong Kong.This work follows Western studies and uses survey to explore the attitudes and perceptions of Hong Kong residents on non-casino gaming in urban communities of Hong Kong.The research follows a standard quantitative research procedure.The measurement items in the questionnaire were obtained from both literature and some qualitative methods such as focus group and semi-structural interviews.A total of 603 valid questionnaires were collected in the survey.Descriptive analysis,independent t-test,and one-way ANOVA in SPSS were conducted to analyze the data.In general,the residents showed conservative attitudes toward non-casino gaming.The residents also considered that non-casino gaming plays an important role in Hong Kong economy.The attitudes and perceptions of the residents toward non-casino gaming vary according to gender,age,educational level,and occupation(e.g.,women perceived stronger negative impacts and the middle class in the society perceived stronger positive and negative impacts).The group that displayed most support for non-casino gaming had the following characteristics:male,middle-aged or older,married,and had completed tertiary education.The different perceptions of Hong Kong residents depend on the perceived positive impact,perceived negative impact,gambling behavior,support level to gaming as well as community attachment and power related to gaming.Specific groups of people support the gaming industry and perceive more positive impacts mainly because they are enjoying the benefit they obtain.This study provides information on the development of diversified leisure activities in mainland China and helps policymakers in creating appropriate strategies for future planning.
