Diagnosis of the Livelihood Sustainability and Its Obstacle Factors for Poverty-Alleviation-Relocation Residents in Tourism Communities: Data from China

Abstract

Many poverty−alleviation−relocation projects in China resort to tourism to sustain immigrants’ livelihood in new communities. However, how tourism contributes to poverty elimination and maintaining gains is yet to be discovered. Based on the sustainable livelihood concept, this study constructs a three-dimensional index system to evaluate livelihood sustainability and identify potential factors in three relocated tourism communities. Results show that most resettled residents have median-level livelihood sustainability. Livelihood capital, strategies, and environment contribute to livelihood sustainability in decreasing order. Regarding livelihood modes, tourism−led livelihood takes the first position in terms of supporting livelihood sustainability, followed by outside−work−led, local−work−led, and government subsidy−led livelihoods. Regarding obstacle factors, annual household income, number of household workers, and education levels are shared by relocated households across different livelihood modes. Aside from policy suggestions on survey sites, this study provides a holistic framework and enlightens the generalizable paradigm to the analysis of sustained livelihood via tourism development in relocated communities.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Levels in Coronavirus Disease Survivors

“…Sedangkan dalam proses terinfeksi Covid-19, SARS-CoV-2 menyerang berbagai organ dalam tubuh [12]. Beberapa studi mencatat pasien dengan Covid-19 mengalami berbagai komplikasi antara lain penurunan volume paru, paru restriktif, penurunan kapasitas difusi paru terhadap karbon monoksida atau Difusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) dan penurunan toleransi latihan setelah keluar dari rumah sakit [13]. Mengenai kebugaran kardiorespirasi terhadap 2.690 orang dewasa dengan 346 pasien terkonfirmasi Covid-19 menemukan hasil kebugaran kardiorespirasi kategori rendah mencapai 77 (22%) pasien, 214 (63%) pasien kategori sedang dan 55 (15%) pasien dalam kategori tinggi [14].…”

Research Trends in Resilience and Vulnerability Studies

“…Resilience studies related to migration and displacement (homelessness, generally) have keyed in on the need for prevention rather than responses that focus on dealing with an emergency scenario [87]. Migration can reduce poverty for migrants, but the potential exists that they will have difficulty coping with their new context and integrating, potentially reducing resilience [88]. Migration can combine with other threats (floods, for example, climate change, and growth of populations) to worsen risk, as Mariano and Marino [89] noted.…”
