Examining Social Capital-Formed Resilience Strategy in the Tourist Destination During the Pandemic of COVID-19: A Case of Nglanggeran Tourism Village, Indonesia

“…Research on resilience in tourism studies has predominantly focused on economic resilience, shortterm disasters and hazards, highly vulnerable systems, and long-term climate change impacts (Adams et al, 2021;Bec et al, 2015;Coaffee & Wood, 2006;Dogru et al, 2019;Hamzah & Hampton, 2013;Larsen et al, 2011;Lew, 2014). Historically, the foundation of the resilience conceptual framework in tourism studies can also be identified in the theories proposed by Holling (1973), which focuses on ecological system context, and Adger (2000), who has used a resilience approach to analyze the complexity of social phenomena related to the environment.…”

“…Historically, the foundation of the resilience conceptual framework in tourism studies can also be identified in the theories proposed by Holling (1973), which focuses on ecological system context, and Adger (2000), who has used a resilience approach to analyze the complexity of social phenomena related to the environment. Resilience, in general, can be defined as the ability of a particular object or system to return to its original posture by absorbing disturbance and reorganizing while undergoing change in an effort to accomplish post-disaster balance by retaining essentially the same function, structure, identity, and feedback (Adams et al, 2021;Davoudi et al, 2012;Holling, 1973;Walker et al, 2004).…”

“…Apart from private businesses, local communities and organizations that are regularly involved in the tourism industry under the informal sector domain are also forced to face challenging circumstances as a result of pandemic-driven crises (Carr, 2020;Ioannides & Gyimóthy, 2020). Based on this fact, the issue of resilience became a major headline in tourism studies that have been increasingly discussed at the time of the pandemic (Adams et al, 2021;Sharma et al, 2021).…”

“…The relationship between tourism, community, and pandemic is then viewed as becoming interesting, especially when the discussion begins with resilience as a form of recovery efforts and strategy. Because resilience has become a much more desirable quality for "rescuing" the tourism industry through various methods, such as livelihood diversification, innovation, and refocusing on development orientation (Adams et al, 2021).…”

Selective border permeability: Governing complex environmental issues through and beyond COVID-19

“…Lacking the requisite set of land use permits due to bureaucratic delays, informal tenurial arrangements or landlessness, villagers in many areas have been compelled to exploit resource extraction opportunities presented by reduced environmental monitoring amidst border restrictions. Across Southeast Asia, there have been reports of intensified artisanal gold panning ( Straits Times, 2020 ), sand mining ( ASEAN, 2020 ) and illegal logging, including in national parks that have lost ecotourism revenues ( Adams et al, 2021 ) and reduced ranger patrols during pandemic lockdowns ( Cahyadi & Newsome, 2021 ).…”
