Thebeliefthat"understandingresidents'perceptionsandattitudesisfundamentaltothesuccessfulandsustainabledevelopmentoftourismactivity"[7]isthemainreasonforwhywehavewitnessedincreasedresearchintoresidents'attitudestowardstourism.
WiththeadvanceoftheInternet,theholidayaccommodationsectorisundergoingarevolution[8,9].

IncitieslikeBarcelonaorBerlin,theseincidentshaveledtolouddemonstrationsbycitizens,whoblameuncontrolledholidayaccommodationfor,amongotherthings,overcrowdingofthedestination,increasedrentalprices,alowerqualityoflife,adeteriorationinthecoexistenceofneighbouringcitizensandlocalresidentsbeingforcedtoleave[18].
Manyofthesenegativearguments,especiallyindestinationswithahigherincidenceofholidayaccommodation,havebeenwidelypublished,bothinthepressandviaothermeansofcommunication[19].
DespitetheconstantincreaseinP2Pholidaytourism,researchrelatedtotheformationofresidents'attitudestowardsthisactivityisextremelylimited[20].
Todate,themajorityhasconsistedofpartialreportsdrawnupattheparties'request[10,21]andparticularlystressesthebenetsorharmderivedfromthephenomenon,dependingonhowconvenientitisfortheinterestsofsaidparties.
However,itdoesnotanalyseindepthwhyresidentschoosetosupportP2Pholidayaccommodationornot.
Onlyrecentlyhaveseveralattemptsbeenmadetocreateamodelofhowsupportisformedforthisnewtourismactivity[20].
Thesestudies,usingtheSocialExchangeTheory(SET)asaconceptualframework[22],suggestthatresidents'supportlargelydependsonhowtheyperceivethepositiveandnegativeimpacts.
Understandingthevariablesthataffecthowresidentsperceivetheimpactsisoneofthemainchallengestoberesearched[7].
Thisknowledgeisextremelyusefulformanagersoftourismdestinations,asitenablesthemtodesignpoliciesandregulationswhichaimtoachieveaharmoniousrelationshipbetweenthedifferentstakeholdersatthedestination(residents,tourists,administration,industry,etc.

Thisharmoniousrelationshipisconsideredtobekeyforachievingsustainabletourismdevelopment[2,3,23–25].
Inthissense,oneofthevariablesthathavebeensuggestedtobeinuentialforresidents'perceptionoftheimpactsoftourismisthedegreeofknowledgethattheyhaveofsaidactivity[26–28].
Thisdegreeofknowledgeisimportantonthewhole,butinthespeciccaseofP2Ptourism,thisvariableseemstobeevenmorerelevant.
Theexponentialgrowthoftheactivity,theconictsinsomecities,thelargenumberofnewsreportsrelatedtothesubject(normallynegative),thepressureoflobbygroupsinthetraditionalaccommodationsectors(normallyagainstit)and,ofcourse,thepassingoftime,havewithoutadoubtmultipliedtheinformationthatisavailabletoresidentsontheactivityandsohaveincreasedtheirknowledge.
However,probablyduetothefactthatthisphenomenonisquitenew,thereisnoresearchthatlooksintoitsinuenceontheperceptionoftheimpactsgeneratedbyP2Pholidayrentals.

Itwaspossibletocheckthereliabilityandvalidityofthescaleinordertomeasuretheresidents'perceptionoftheimpactsandtheirattitudestowardsP2Pholidayrentals,contributingtothestate-of-the-artscopeofapplicationsofthesocialexchangetheoryfornewsituationsandactivitiesinthetourismindustry.

Likewise,thestudyconrmstheinuenceofagreaterlevelofknowledgeandawarenessoftheactivityontheperceptionoftheimpactsandonattitudes.
ThevalidityoftheSETisconrmed,meaningthatthelowertheperceptionofbenetsorthehigherthecosts,thelowertheresidents'attitudetowardstheactivityevaluated.
Accordingtotheresultsofthestudy,knowledge—referringtoagreaterunderstandingoftheactivityonthepartoftheresidents—generallyresultsinagreaterperceptionofcostsandalesserimpactofbenets,contrarytoLátkováandVogt's[46]suggestionthatknowledgeisaninsignicantpredictorofthepositiveandnegativeimpacts.
Inthissense,theresultsconcerningtheperceptionofcostsconrmtheresultsofAnderecketal.

However,inthepartofthisstudyconcerningbenets,wehavefoundthatthegreatertheknowledge,thelessertheperceptionofbenets,whichdoesnotagreewiththatputforwardbyAnderecketal.

Furthermore,theseresultsarecoherentwiththatsuggestedbythesocialexchangetheory,giventhatwhenthereisanincreaseintheperceptionofthecostsandareductionintheperceptionofthebenets,thiswouldimplylesssupporttowardstheactivity;apointwhichisconrmed.
