Abstract:	In recent years, many Taiwanese fishing ports have been transformed into recreational fishing ports. The main purpose of this study is to explore how BiSha Fishing Port residents perceive the effects of tourism. In addition, we examine how perceived economic dependence, community attachment, community involvement, and the role of the local government affect perceived tourism impacts and how perceived tourism impacts influence attitudes toward tourism development. A questionnaire was distributed to BiSha Fishing Port residents, and a total of 359 valid questionnaires were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, and regression analysis. The study results indicate that (1) BiSha Fishing Port residents do not depend heavily on income from tourism, but community attachment and community involvement levels are slightly higher, while perceptions toward the role of local government are slightly positive. (2) Apart from non-significant economic dependence, residents display a significant effect on perceived community attachment, community involvement, and local government's role in perceived tourism impacts. (3) The BiSha Fishing Port residents show a significant effect on attitudes toward tourism development because of tourism. Practical and theoretical suggestions are then proposed in the conclusion.
