Association of community resilience and residents' consumption intentions: A study in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China

Shocks from natural disasters and emergencies broadly affect residents' perceptions of uncertainty, dampening their consumption intentions. Yet, few studies have examined the relationship between community resilience and residents' consumption intentions. This study explored the roles of physical spatial resilience and social capital resilience in influencing residents' consumption intentions with survey data from residents in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China. The results generated from structural equation modeling indicate that both social capital resilience and physical space resilience significantly influence residents' consumption intentions, with social capital resilience having a stronger indirect effect and physical spatial resilience exhibiting a more pronounced direct effect. These findings highlight the value of resilient community development in mitigating uncertainty and fostering consumption. • To explore the relationship between community resilience and residents' consumption intentions • Physical space resilience exerts a stronger direct influence on consumption intentions. • Social capital resilience has a more pronounced indirect effect. • Using data from the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China
