“…According to this concept of vulnerability, it is argued that the effects of human daily activities should be treated as equally important to those of natural disasters in relation to vulnerability (Blaikie et al, 2004 ; Fekete, 2019 ). In general, human vulnerability primarily focuses on the relationships between human activities and the natural environment (Kabbani & Olds, 2021 ; Wu et al, 2021 ); virtual embodiment (e.g. health, illness or death) (Pinato et al, 2021 ; Tiwari et al, 2021 ); and socio-demographic/socio-spatial and political factors (Karácsonyi et al, 2021 ; Song et al, 2021 ; Zhang & Cao, 2020 ).…”

The interactions between vulnerability and human activities have largely been regarded in terms of the level of risk they pose, both internally and externally, for certain groups of disadvantaged individuals and regions/areas. However, to date, very few studies have attempted to develop a comprehensive composite regional vulnerability index, in relation to travel, housing, and social deprivation, which can be used to measure vulnerability at an aggregated level in the social sciences. Therefore, this research aims to develop a composite regional vulnerability index with which to examine the combined issues of travel, housing and socio-economic vulnerability (THASV index). It also explores the index’s relationship with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, reflecting both social and spatial inequality, using Greater London as a case study, with data analysed at the level of Middle Layer Super Output Areas (MSOAs). The findings show that most of the areas with high levels of composite vulnerability are distributed in Outer London, particularly in suburban areas. In addition, it is also found that there is a spatial correlation between the THASV index and the risk of COVID-19 deaths, which further exacerbates the potential implications of social deprivation and spatial inequality. Moreover, the results of the multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) show that the travel and socio-economic indicators in a neighbouring district and the related vulnerability indices are strongly associated with the risk of dying from COVID-19. In terms of policy implications, the findings can be used to inform sustainable city planning and urban development strategies designed to resolve urban socio-spatial inequalities and the potential related impacts of COVID-19, as well as guiding future policy evaluation of urban structural patterns in relation to vulnerable areas.

“…Nations around the world have faced unprecedented challenges such as recession, political instability, internal conflict, corruption, war, refugee crises and religious war (Vecchi, et al , 2021; Shahrabani et al , 2020; Saifer, 2020; Wu et al , 2021; Garbarova and Vartiak, 2022), and they seem to adopt different strategies in an attempt to deal with these and several other challenges (Vrontis et al , 2020). However, a growing and inevitable trend for them has been to adopt nation branding strategies to achieve differentiation (Saifer, 2020) and enhance their economic performance especially in terms of tourism, investments and exports (Avraham, 2020).…”

“…Nordic countries (Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden), on the other hand, play an important role in the rebuilding of national brands, even though each country’s national narratives have clear differences (Sataøen, 2021). Denmark’s national brand is greatly associated with democracy, welfare and compassion, but it is the only Nordic country that has not adopted nature as differentiation strategy but pays close attention to sustainability aspects (Sataøen, 2021; Frig and Sorsa, 2020; Wu et al , 2021). Although Finland is primarily nature focused with its wild and untouched beauty, similar to Denmark, both have been regarded as domineers in sustainability field.…”

“…In light of global development, and since the beginning of the 21st century, almost all realities regarding nation branding and brand building have been examined from multiple perspectives and even challenged (Lee and Lee, 2021; He et al , 2021; Torelli, 2021; Wu et al , 2021; Steenkamp, 2021; Shashwat et al , 2020; Yousaf et al , 2021; Frig and Sorsa, 2020; Nguyen and Özçağlar-Toulouse, 2021; Avraham, 2020). However, as Dinnie (2008) also stipulated that nation branding is an exciting yet complex and controversial phenomenon.…”

Purpose Literature on nation branding is heterogeneous and varies significantly, not only in terminological terms but also in theoretical approaches and practical application. This paper aims to conduct an extensive exploratory study that empirically develops a comprehensive nation brand framework for Palestine, with international applications as well. Design/methodology/approach Initially, a conceptual framework for developing a nation brand is theoretically designed. Subsequently, through a methodologically deductive–inductive approach and qualitative means, it tests, adapts and refines the framework based on empirical data collected from key stakeholders, such as government officials, politicians, business people and academics. Findings The theoretical part of the research uncovers the extant key models and core concepts, and it identifies several gaps, with the more prominent one being the lack of an integrated and widely adopted framework for developing a nation brand. The research, thus, conclusively builds a holistic strategic framework towards a distinct nation brand for Palestine, with generic/international application and value, also presenting the practical implications of the findings and identifying avenues for further research. Originality/value There are varying extant perspectives on the topic, with these different views often reflecting scholars’ and stakeholders’ methodological approaches, perspectives and even deeper ontological beliefs and convictions. This paper is original consequent to its multi-perspective approach, the strength of its theoretical foundation, the extent and methodological approach of its empirical research, the uniqueness of its focus and the comprehensiveness of the framework developed that can also be used as the conceptual cornerstone for testing in other nations branding studies as well.

“…Events such as tsunamis [19], hurricanes [20], major floods [21], and the sudden onset of public health emergencies like COVID-19 have all had significant impacts on the tourism industry. Scholars have looked at different case studies to develop resilience construction strategies [22][23][24], while also proposing crisis management and resilience-building strategies for tourism from the perspectives of tourism enterprises, tourist destinations, and the sector as a whole [25][26][27][28][29][30]. Economic crises such as inflation [31][32][33] and political conflicts such as the "9.11 terrorist attack" [34,35] have also affected international tourist flows, causing losses in the tourism industry.…”

Spatio-Temporal Evolution and Influencing Factors of the Resilience of Tourism Environmental Systems in the Yangtze River Economic Belt of China

The resilience of a tourism environmental system (TESR) is an important aspect of sustainable tourism growth. Based on the construction of an evaluation system for the TESR, this study used 126 prefecture-level cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) as a case study and attempted to explore the spatio-temporal evolution features and influencing mechanism of the TESR. The primary conclusions are as follows: (1) Despite significant improvement in TESR in the YREB, the overall resilience level and growth rate remain relatively low, with ample potential for improvement. (2) Positive spatial correlation and type agglomeration impact are evident in the urban TESR. (3) Relatively frequent transitions of the TESR occur with spatial dependence and spillover effects in the transition paths, i.e., high-level cities can improve the TESR of neighboring cities through positive spillover effects. (4) Several factors, such as city economic, social, industrial, and policy factors, jointly impact the evolution of the pattern of the TESR in the YREB, with heterogeneous effects.
