Collective actions and crisis adaptation of a rural tourism community
通过中国西南一个乡村旅游社区的质性案例研究，提出了包含社区资源、社区能力和社会结构的旅游社区韧性框架，揭示了集体行动如何帮助社区适应外部冲击。
Community resilience is crucial for tourism communities to adapt successfully to crises. Communities can address challenges through collective actions that individual households cannot tackle effectively. Current literature emphasizes the importance of building household resilience and destination resilience, yet there is limited empirical discussion on resilience at the community level. Through a qualitative case study, we explore the relationship between collective agency and community resilience practices in a rural tourism community in southwest China. We propose a conceptual framework of tourism community resilience, which includes three key components: community resources, community competence, and social structure. This framework illustrates how community resource mobilization and allocation, community collective action and decision making, and social relationships within and beyond the community interact, thereby influencing the outcomes of tourism communities’ adaptation to external shocks. Our work enriches the understanding of tourism resilience at the community level and adds detailed empirical examples to a literature that has so far been predominantly conceptual.
