Mixed-methods study reveals dynamic capabilities and cultural innovation drive community sustainability in living heritage areas, highlighting the need to actively mobilize cultural capital.

Key Points

To examine how cultural capital and dynamic capabilities contribute to local community sustainability through cultural innovation ability within living heritage communities.
Conducted a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study in Buyei Tie-dyeing communities in Guizhou Province, China.
Analyzed N=503 valid survey questionnaires using structural equation modeling (SEM), complemented by semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion.
Dynamic capabilities exerted a significant direct effect on local community sustainability (β = 0.429, p < 0.001).
Cultural capital significantly predicted cultural innovation ability (β = 0.468, p < 0.001), which partially mediated the impacts of dynamic capabilities and cultural capital on community sustainability.
The structural equation model explained 50.1% of the variance in local community sustainability.
