Construction of the evaluation index system for natural hazards coping in tourism communities
Natural hazards are significant factors affecting the sustainable development of the tourism industry.Under the pressure of global climate change,strengthening the resilience as-sessment of the tourism industry and its community components constitutes a critical founda-tional work for promoting the healthy development of tourism.This study constructs a resil-ience assessment index system for tourism communities in response to natural disasters based on the DPSIR(Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response)model,encompassing nine secondary indicators and twenty tertiary indicators.The analytic hierarchy process(AHP)group decision-making method is employed for weighting these indicators.Taking the Hailuogou tourism com-munity after an earthquake as a case study,this research evaluates its resilience from 2020 to 2022 through analysis and empirical investigation,thus testing the applicability of the index system.The results indicate:(1)The analysis of indicator weights shows that the factors that have the greatest impact on the natural disaster resilience of tourism communities include the number of casualties caused by disasters,the completeness of disaster precautions,the perfec-tion of disaster emergency plans,and the number of disaster warning devices.(2)The resilience of the Hailuogou tourism community has shown continuous improvement from 2020 to 2022 and the level of resilience rises year by year.The Ms 6.8 Luding earthquake on September 5,2022,negatively impacted the driving and pressure system scores that year,but resilience scores for the state,impact,and response systems increased.(3)Fluctuations in the indicators reveal that economic decline is a primary cause for the reduced community resilience of Hailuo-gou,while the enhancement of emergency capabilities is a key factor for its improved resil-ience.The index system developed in this study for assessing the resilience of tourism commu-nities facing natural hazards has a solid theoretical and methodological foundation and is appli-cable to various types of tourism communities.It aids in evaluating their capacity to respond to natural disaster risks and improves disaster risk coping governance.
