摘要

The 2024–2025 reconfiguration of global tourism toward Industry 5.0 necessitates a fundamental pivot in the operational logic of Community-Based Tourism (CBT) regarding Circular Economy (CE) implementation. Beyond conventional waste management, circularity functions as a strategic mechanism for regenerative resilience within vulnerable indigenous ecosystems. This research addresses the persistent lack of empirical frameworks to quantify these transitions in resource-constrained highland environments. The novelty of this study lies in the synthesis of a hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) framework integrating Fuzzy-AHP and VIKOR to navigate the epistemic uncertainty inherent in multi-stakeholder governance. While recent advancements in Industry 5.0 emphasize Z-numbers for information reliability in industrial supply chains, this methodology prioritizes the nuanced, subjective ambiguity of socio-cultural values, a dimension often overlooked in rigid decision models. Based on data elicited from a multi-sectoral panel of 31 experts and 60 tourists in Vietnam’s Northern Highlands, the findings reveal “Local Resource Optimisation” (0.385) as the primary catalyst for systemic change. The VIKOR analysis further distinguishes “Circular Cultural Products with Indigenous Identity” as the optimal compromise solution, suggesting that regenerative success hinges on embedding circularity into the cultural fabric rather than mere technical efficiency. This research provides a rigorous, evidence-based pathway for reconfiguring extractive tourism into human-centric, resilient ecosystems in the Industry 5.0 era.
