No matter how peripheral an island community may be, it is still a place formed through the forces of globalization as much as by local agency. This research addresses how the two forces of core dominance and local agency relate to one another through conflict and cooperation. Recently, small islands have been studied in a variety of ways. While researchers focused on sustainability or vulnerability in the past, they now pay more attention to resilience theory in the face of unchangeable global development. Following a literature review of the contextual analysis of the above three theories, this study found that sustainability is beneficial for generational preservation, a vulnerability focusing for disaster prevention, and resilience for disaster adaptation. Next, the similarities and differences among the three theories were compared and samples were made for tourism indicators for communities. Finally, the results showed that resilience theory affords the most appropriate guidance for peripheral island development using place making in the definitional, temporal, and spatial dimensions.
