To collect data, questionnaire was used and its validity and reliability were examined by fuzzy- Delphi approach and internal consistency. For investigating Modifier Effect of social advertising, it used LISREL software. Statistical sample divided into 2 group and structural modeling was investigate by considering modifier role and not considering modifier role. Results showed that without considering modifier role, there is a positive relationship between local people attitude with tourism impacts and these impacts has positive and significant relationship with local's quality of life.
