“…System-specific barriers may prevent the development of DRR measures; however, the successful implementation of prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery measures has a positive impact on the underlying vulnerabilities and the hazardscape itself (Becken and Hughey 2013). More explicit consideration of DRR in tourism should occur from the business level right up to national tourism organisations (Tsai et al 2012).…”

The tourism disaster vulnerability framework: an application to tourism in small island destinations

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Islands are known to be vulnerable to natural hazards, resulting in substantial risks for their tourism industries. To facilitate the systematic analysis of the underlying vulnerability drivers, a Tourism Disaster Vulnerability Framework was developed. The conceptual model then guided qualitative empirical research in three regions; the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and the Indian Ocean. The results from 73 interviews highlight common, as well as idiosyncratic, factors that shape the islands' hazardscapes and vulnerabilities. Key vulnerabilities included social, economic, political and environmental dimensions. Probably the most critical vulnerability driver is the lack of private sector investment in disaster risk reduction. This is interrelated with deficient planning processes, ongoing demand for coastal products, lack of political will, and poor environmental conditions. Notwithstanding many barriers, some businesses and organisations engage proactively in addressing disaster risk. The paper's empirical evidence supports the validity of the framework and suggestions for further research are made.

“…The coastal or hillside erosion leads to loss of assets and are associated to hurricanes, typhoons and storms (Scott et al 2012;Mora et al 2018), flooding (Haile et al 2013;Mora et al 2017), landslides (Tsai et al 2011), heatwaves (Dobney et al 2010), and fires (Teague et al 2010;Oloruntoba 2013). Human health issues, such as the incidence of pathogen and vector borne diseases (such as malaria, dengue, leptospirosis, rift valley fever) are associated with flooding (Epstein 2001;Gubler et al 2001;Mustafa and Wrathall 2011) and droughts (as people start to rely on unprotected sources of water and as dry conditions favors the inhalation of fungus; Calow et al 2010;Stanke et al 2013).…”

Indicators to measure the climate change adaptation outcomes of ecosystem-based adaptation

Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) is the use of biodiversity and ecosystem services as part of a strategy to help people adapt to climate change. Despite the potential of EbA to provide adaptation benefits, there is a lack of consensus on how to measure the success of this approach. This paper reviews the intended adaptation outcomes and indicators used by ongoing and completed EbA projects and addresses the following questions: (a) where have EbA projects been implemented? (b) what activities have been conducted by EbA projects? (c) what adaptation outcomes are EbA projects seeking to achieve? (d) how have the impacts of EbA projects been measured and evaluated? and (e) what is the set of indicators that can capture the diversity of adaptation outcomes achieved by EbA? To identify the adaptation outcomes provided by EbA and the indicators that could be used to measure such outcomes, we reviewed 58 EbA projects implemented globally, and obtained recommendations from experts on what indicators should be measured. We identified 13 adaptation outcomes that could be achieved through EbA, such as reducing the loss of assets of coastal communities due to extreme events. We identified seven indicators to monitor the success of EbA in achieving adaptation outcomes. Our review suggests that there is a strong need to better articulate the adaptation outcomes that EbA projects seek to achieve, to use a common set of specific indicators to track these outcomes, and to fund the monitoring of long-term EbA projects.

“…According to the estimation of World Tourism Organization (WTO), tourism industry would be the industry the mostly full of vitality in the 21st century. The development of tourism and the assessment of benefits are the primary policies in the world for revitalizing the economic development (Tsai et al, 2012;Ponting & O'Brien, 2014;Yeh & Fotiadis, 2014). Nevertheless, it is the primary consideration to formulate an appropriate culture State of the literature  Visitors changed the industrial business styles, the economic sources became diversified, and the convenient main roads of settlements also resulted in visitor exchange, noise, and garbage.…”

Tourism development could drive the enhancement of national income and the demands for international tourism that tourism benefits have become the key source of national revenue. The integration of cultural relics with tourism development to drive the national or regional development has currently become the world trend. Making good use of the integration of historic and cultural heritage with unique national characteristics and customs has become a major incentive to tourists. Aiming at Kinmen as the research target, the local residents are researched in this study to discuss the attitudes towards the development after the opening to tourism. Total 412 valid copies of questionnaire are retrieved, from which negative correlations appear between the residents' perception of tourism impact and attitudes towards the sustainable development of Kinmen; besides, the perception of tourism crowding would deepen the negative correlation between the perception of tourism impact and the attitudes towards the sustainable development. In this case, the government must solve the problem of tourism crowding by effectively dispersing tourism crowding.
