“…Research on the preparedness or recovery activities of individual businesses is usually survey-based and lacks the qualitative depth to answer the "why" questions guiding observed changes in operations [10]. On the other hand, research that uses a case study approach is usually geographically concentrated and limited in sample size [34,51,52]. The current study is novel in its mixed method design, its focus on impacts from a biological hazard agent, and, given the size of Texas, its geographically diverse sample of heritage sites.…”

“…Due to the closure and restrictions, many entities laid off staff [30] or shifted full-time staff to part-time services to balance budgets while also continuing to offer limited services [33]. Other heritage sites went online; however, lack of technology combined with varied levels of staff skill, resources, and other demands on their time influenced the success of this virtual transition [31,34]. Some entities shared their collections online with their audience through interactive online platforms, especially social media [35].…”

During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, heritage sites, which protect natural and cultural resources, experienced the dauting task of sustaining business operations during the pandemic while serving the public by preserving and conserving resources. These businesses undertook risk reduction measures, conceptualized as adjustments, to mitigate the spread of disease while maintaining business operations. By engaging with Gilbert White’s (1942) Adjustment Theory, this study examines the adjustments made by Texas heritage sites in response to emerging risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we analyze adjustments made to reduce risk to visitors, financial stability, and programmatic offerings; explore the extent to which these adjustments facilitated sustainability, business expansion, and innovation; and identify what factors contributed to or hindered their recovery. This mixed-methods study employed an online survey and a follow-up semi-structured phone interview with heritage site managers. Our findings indicate Texas heritage sites implemented a range of fiscal and health related adjustments in response to the pandemic. Specific to fiscal adjustments, we found changes in visitors led to adjustments in business operations which also facilitated revenue generation for these entities. We also observed how new opportunities arose from the health adjustments in the form of remote offerings and new markets. Our findings emphasize the importance of adjustments made by heritage sites to continue their operations during the pandemic while also offering strategies to mitigate future risks.

“…Esse trabalho restaurativo de contranarrativas contra a supremacia branca, que vêm sendo construído paulatinamente nos EUA, é observado também por Schumann III, Potter e Cook, destacando sua contribuição para se avançar na equidade racial no turismo e "amplificar as vozes marginalizadas nos museus afroamericanos". 70 Iniciativas como An Ethical Guide to Plantation Tours, 71 que se dispõe a ajudar viajantes a identificar passeios que combatem o racismo com ações educativas no circuito das plantations, confirmam essa vertente antirracista nos agentes difusores do turismo no sul dos EUA. Na porção fluminense do Vale do Paraíba, merece destaque o projeto Passados Presentes: memória da escravidão no Brasil, coordenado por Hebe Mattos, Martha Abreu e Keila Grinberg, que, entre outros resultados, produziu roteiros de turismo de memória em parceria com descendentes da última geração de africanos escravizados no Brasil.…”

O texto analisa as narrativas turísticas como práticas de memória, discutindo sua relevância no reconhecimento do papel dos negros escravizados na construção social de cidades históricas brasileiras e seus patrimônios. O estudo se concentra no Vale Histórico, localizado entre Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, cuja história esteve marcada pela lavoura cafeeira e pela presença maciça de escravizados africanos e seus descendentes no século XIX. A partir da análise de visitas oferecidas em fazendas cafeeiras convertidas para uso turístico, observa-se como a instituição da escravidão, a presença e a individualidade dos escravizados são minimizadas ou invisibilizadas nestes programas turísticos, não obstante a extensão, a produtividade e o contingente de negros escravizados tenham sido enormes nessa região. O trabalho é um recorte dos resultados da pesquisa Turismo, Patrimônio e Desenvolvimento Social no Vale Histórico Paulista, desenvolvida na Universidade de São Paulo e financiada pelo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq).

“…The vast majority explore these factors at the state scale via localized/regional case study examples. This trend is reflected across a range of geographies, including the United States [57,58,[69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78]; South America [79,80]; Canada [81,82]; Western European countries including France, Germany, Austria, and Sweden [83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93]; the United Kingdom and Ireland [56,94,95]; and the South Asia and Asia-Pacific region [20,21,52,82,85,[96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107].

“…Social and environmental justice themes feature strongly in a series of studies undertaken in the United States. For example, Schumann et al [73] discuss resilience from an equity and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) perspective, centring their analysis on the Southern States of the United States, noting that managed retreat neglects to adequately prepare for the loss of place and BIPOC attachments to specific locations (see also [151]'s analysis of the swathe of impacts funding regimes have on retreat outcomes for BIPOC communities). There are also emerging concerns that managed retreat and similar policies are being used to disconnect Indigenous communities from their land, community, cultures and traditional knowledge [75,150].…”

Managed retreat and planned retreat: a systematic literature review

Vulnerable locations, such as coastlines, are at a high risk of loss and damage. Such places will suffer deleterious impacts as climate change impacts are increasingly realized. As societies try to adapt to these impacts, managed or planned retreat—aimed at moving people and assets away from vulnerable locations—is gaining increased attention. Despite this increased attention, systematic literature reviews of the retreat literature remain scarce. This paper undertakes such review and uncovers a marked increase in retreat scholarly research papers in the past 5 years. An analysis of 135 managed and planned retreat journal articles is completed. Findings include a strong emphasis on regional or local case studies exploring governance, policy or institutional settings and levers across a range of geographies. Property rights and market interventions, such as compensation schemes, evidence the prevalence of neoliberal predilections. This emphasizes the importance of renewed engagement with political economy scholarship vis-à-vis climate change adaptation, also supported by the sharp increase in the evidenced social and environmental justice impacts. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Nurturing resilient marine ecosystems’.
