The purpose of this study was to examine residents' attitudes toward sustainable tourism in Turkey and determine whether resident's attitudes vary according to host typologies using SUS-TAS. SUS-TAS, used here as a tool for identifying resident typologies, allowed the identification of three host community typologies. Data was collected from 1,857 randomly selected households in a large city in Izmir, Turkey. A comparative analysis was then performed between Strong Sustainers, Moderate Sustainers, and Weak Sustainers, resulting in significant differences between these resident groups regarding a select few behavioral and demographic variables. Practical and theoretical implications have been discussed within the framework of sustaincentric theory.
