%X This study investigated the structural relationships among destination social responsibility (DSR), tourism impacts (i.e., positive and negative impacts), residents¡¯ support for tourism, and their perceived quality of life. A structural model was empirically tested with a sample of 272 residents living in the Phoenix Ancient Town in China. The results indicated that DSR enhanced residents¡¯ perception of positive tourism impacts but did not influence their perception of negative impacts. Concurrently, DSR was found to have direct and positive effects on residents¡¯ support for tourism and perceived quality of life. It also had indirect and positive effects on residents¡¯ support for tourism and perceived quality of life, mediated by positive tourism impacts. While residents¡¯ perceived positive tourism impacts increased their support for tourism and perceived quality of life, negative impacts would undermine support for tourism and proved to be disruptive to quality of life
