Abstract: Tourism and real estate development are advancing on the coastal localities of southern Sinaloa, Mexico, yet the perceptions of their residents are rarely measured. Using the preliminary data cut from the pilot survey of project FZ-HAB-0021 on the Factoriza UAS platform, this study described the initial behaviour of a fifteen-item scale with three dimensions, Presence of tourism, Living conditions and Rootedness, in Teacapán (Escuinapa) and Chametla (El Rosario). With a cross-sectional design, 20 cases out of a target of 100 were analysed while data collection remained open. Descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s alpha, McDonald’s omega total, exploratory factor analysis and Spearman correlations between dimensions were estimated. Rootedness showed acceptable internal consistency (α = .763; ω = .786), whereas Presence of tourism (α = .355) and Living conditions (α = .277) did not behave as homogeneous scales. The factor analysis, with KMO = .325, suggested two factors: one of rootedness and a bipolar one that opposes the presence of real estate and commercial tourism to housing affordability and the sufficiency of services. Living conditions and Rootedness were positively associated (ρ = .631, 95% CI [.219, .852]). The findings do not yet provide structural validity evidence and point to revisions of the instrument.
