| Details | The Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami of March 2011 disrupted the social-ecological systems of marine resource-dependent communities in Northeast Japan. The fishing communities and seafood manufacturers in the area have adopted tourism as a pillar for post-disaster recovery through linking various elements of different industries. The study offers theoretical and empirical work on tourism social-ecological system (SES) to understand the interactions between resources and various users under multi-layer governance. The resilience of an SES is captured by a matrix for new and existing resources and users forming four options for resource convergence, including persistence, adaptability, transformability, and preparedness. The SES framework and the matrix of resilient outcomes could be applied to manage destinations where disasters have caused severe damage. |
