沿海社区是世界上变化最迅速、制度最复杂、文化最多样化的社区之一，也是最容易受到人为变化影响的社区之一。旅游业虽然是人为变化的驱动因素，但也可以为沿海居民以自然资源为基础的生计减少提供社会经济选择。本研究的目的是评估小规模邮轮旅游对阿拉斯加彼得堡沿海社区复原力的影响。通过弹性理论的暴露、敏感性和适应能力来探索这些影响，我们采用民族志研究方法，强调主题观点，以确定居民如何看待这种形式的旅游影响有价值的社区文化、制度和传统生计的弹性。研究结果表明，通过有目的地参与载客量为250人或更少的邮轮旅游，以及对大型邮轮行业的积极排斥，彼得堡展示了增强的适应能力，以促进有价值的社区机构和遗产的恢复能力。这项工作为邮轮旅游标签下活动的多样性提供了必要的认识，包括小规模、利基邮轮旅游对沿海社区恢复力的独特影响。它还强调需要从宏观角度来理解社区复原力的政治。
Coastal communities are among the most rapidly changing, institutionally complex, and culturally diverse in the world, and they are among the most vulnerable to anthropogenic change. While being a driver of anthropogenic change, tourism can also provide socio-economic alternatives to declining natural resource-based livelihoods for coastal residents. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of small-scale cruise tourism on coastal community resiliency in Petersburg, Alaska. Exploring these impacts through resiliency theory’s lens of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, we employed ethnographic research methods that emphasize emic viewpoints to determine how residents see this form of tourism affecting the resiliency of valued community culture, institutions, and traditional livelihoods. Findings indicate that with purposeful engagement in niche cruise tourism involving boats with 250 passengers or less, and an active rejection of the large cruise ship industry, Petersburg exhibits increased adaptive capacity to promote the resilience of valued community institutions and heritage. This work draws needed recognition to the diversity of activities that fall under the label of cruise tourism, including the distinct implications of smaller-scale, niche cruise tourism for the resilience of coastal communities. It also highlights the need to capture emic perspectives to understand the politics of community resiliency.
