Abstract

There has been a growing attention in response to numerous multidimensional development challenges emerging within small island context such as vulnerability, geographic isolation, limited infrastructure, and high dependence on coastal and marine resources.  Governance has increasingly arisen as a crucial factor affecting sustainable economic development and community resilience in such island context. This study aims to systematically review the current literature on natural resource governance and sustainable economic development in small islands. In specific, the review examines major research themes, governance approaches, livelihood strategies, and rising research gaps within the literature. This study employed a protocol adopted from PRISMA-based systematic literature review approach using the Scopus database. A total of 1,216 publications were initially identified using predefined search strings, followed by screening and eligibility assessment procedures. 16 articles were included in the final analysis. The findings reveal four dominant themes within the literature: collaborative and multi-scalar governance, blue economy transitions, social capital and islandness, and integrated sustainability frameworks. The review further shows that co-management and decentralized governance approaches positively influence livelihood diversification, fisheries sustainability, tourism development, and community resilience. Fisheries and tourism remain the dominant economic sectors, while alternative livelihoods such as aquaculture, homestay management, and marine creative industries are increasingly promoted to strengthen local economic resilience. Nevertheless, persistent challenges remain significant concerns. This includes elite capture, governance inequality, tourism dependency, and limited quantitative evidence.

Abstract

Tourism is widely recognized as a significant driver of economic growth and employment; however, the role of human resources is often narrowly framed in economic terms, with limited recognition of their broader social contributions. This study explores human resources as social assets in sustainable tourism by integrating the concepts of social capital, community-based tourism (CBT), and the Social Return on Investment (SROI) framework. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through a structured literature review, the study examines how education, training, and community participation function as strategic mechanisms to strengthen local capacities and generate multidimensional value for tourism destinations. The analysis highlights how human resource development enhances not only technical competencies and service quality but also social cohesion, trust, and collective action within host communities. Findings indicate that investment in human resources contributes not only to improved service quality and economic gains but also to stronger community cohesion, cultural preservation, empowerment of local actors, and inclusive development processes. The application of the SROI framework provides a systematic way to capture and measure these broader social, cultural, and economic impacts that are often overlooked in conventional tourism evaluations. This study emphasizes that people-centered investment strategies are fundamental to achieving long-term sustainability in tourism development. The study concludes that human resources must be positioned as catalysts for both social and economic value creation, with important implications for tourism policy, destination governance, and community-based development practices.
