The purpose of this study is to identify the structural relationship between residents’perceptions of the trust of the government, the potential tourism benefits and costs, and the support for tourism development of the urban regeneration project in Jeju City. The results of the study show that residents’perception of the trust of the government had a significant impact on perceived benefits, perceived costs, and support for the development. In addition, the perceived benefits had a significant impact on the support for tourism development but the perceived costs did not significantly affect on the support for the development. This study implies that the participation and cooperation of local residents is necessary for the success of local tourism development projects, and it is important for the local government to demonstrate benefits of the development projects and build trust with local residents. Therefore, this study suggests that it is necessary for the local government to establish a sustainable tourism management strategy at the government level on how to inform the potential tourism benefits to local residents and how to attract and continue the participation and cooperation of local residents.
