The importance of vulnerability in shaping the continued prosperity of communities has gained traction across social sciences. This study seeks to delineate the way tourism demand and supply have spatially and temporally influenced community social vulnerability. A spatiotemporal tourism-vulnerability model was developed for all counties in the contiguous United States, empowering practitioners to continually assess the impact of tourism on vulnerability at the local level. Despite assertions of declining tourism supply and demand during initial crisis periods, this research suggests these concerns did not translate into continuous widespread negative effects on community social vulnerability. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of social vulnerability by underscoring its dynamic interplay with tourism demand and supply, ultimately endorsing localized strategies for managing high-risk communities.

旅游业在减轻社会脆弱性方面的时空作用


脆弱性对于塑造社区持续繁荣的重要性已在社会科学领域获得广泛关注。本研究旨在描述旅游需求和供给在空间和时间上影响社区社会脆弱性的方式。为美国本土所有县开发了时空旅游脆弱性模型，使从业者能够持续评估旅游业对当地脆弱性的影响。尽管有人断言危机初期旅游供应和需求下降，但这项研究表明，这些担忧并没有转化为对社区社会脆弱性的持续广泛的负面影响。这项研究通过强调社会脆弱性与旅游需求和供应的动态相互作用，有助于更深入地了解社会脆弱性，最终支持管理高风险社区的本地化策略。
