Socio-ecological resilience: a theoretical-methodological perspective for community-based tourism
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Resilience is a capacity of tourism localities to cope with change and disturbances that threaten living resources. The objectives of this article are to analyze the theoretical and methodological contributions of resilience in tourism and to design a comprehensive and flexible analytical framework for the purpose of qualitatively estimating resilience in local tourism communities. In addition, it is intended to serve as a guide for novice researchers who need to give precision to their empirical experiences. Methodologically, a review of the specialized literature is used to review the reciprocal contribution of social-ecological systems and resilience in tourism. Next, the method of analysis-synthesis is used, with the intention of identifying the importance and scope of the elements of a theoretical-methodological framework. Then, similar criteria are unified, in order to connect relationships and form a whole with a contribution to scientific knowledge. According to the results, the analytical capacity of the theoretical-methodological frameworks is based on the characteristics of social-ecological systems, the use of resilience surrogates, and the use of operational measures of resilience.
