This study discusses the post-disaster recovery mechanism of the Jiuzhaigou scenic area, as a World Natural Heritage Sites, following the catastrophic impact of the 2017/8/8 Sichuan earthquake. The significant point of this study is that most discussions on catastrophic impact recovery focus on urban areas, rather than the tourism vulnerability of remote scenic areas like Jiuzhaigou and the economic recovery of minority groups (Tibetan, in this case). Additionally, the scenic area and the local district are governed by different authorities, resulting in the interesting and distinctive recovery differences of pre-disaster 'ticket economy' and post-disaster 'reconstruction'. As well as in-depth interview and field survey, this study also reviews local literature and statistical data to measure: (1) the spatial hazard susceptibility and risk management strategies of different-level governments and (2) the tangling dependence among regional industrial development and (governmental) local tourism industry. This study is expected to benefit future discussion on tourism vulnerability of remote scenic area, and the local resilience to disasters. |
