Abstract

Abstract The COVID pandemic has offered opportunities for islands and other relatively isolated communities to establish pandemic‐protection boundaries. A July 2020 survey of Waiheke Island residents sought views on how the island had remained COVID‐19 free, despite proximity to a city of 1.6 million (Auckland, NZ). Many attributed that status to ‘pure luck’ or a ‘moat’ effect. However, many also attributed freedom from COVID‐19 to reinforcing high‐level community cohesiveness and shared values. The Waiheke community's response can be seen as a microcosm of New Zealand as an island nation and an exemplar of a response to pandemic threats uniquely possible for small islands.

是什么让一个岛屿社区在全球大流行中免受新冠肺炎？

COVID大流行为岛屿和其他相对孤立的社区提供了建立大流行防护边界的机会。2020年7月对怀赫克岛居民进行的一项调查征求了人们对该岛如何保持无COVID - 19的看法，尽管该岛靠近一个160万人口的城市(新西兰奥克兰)。许多人将这种地位归因于“纯粹的运气”或“护城河”效应。然而，许多人也将免受COVID - 19的影响归因于加强了高层次的社区凝聚力和共同价值观。怀赫克社区的反应可以看作是新西兰作为一个岛国的缩影，是对小岛屿特有的流行病威胁作出反应的典范。
