The Resilience Alliance has developed two workbooks for assessing resilience
in social-ecological systems:
1) Assessing and managing resilience in social-ecological
systems: A practitioners workbook
2) Assessing resilience in social-ecological systems
- A workbook for scientists
The Workbook Project is ongoing with workshops, a developing
database of examples, translations and new modules. An updated version of the workbooks is currently being developed with contributions from RA members.
The workbooks are draw on decades of theoretical research and case study comparisons by members of the
Resilience Alliance and other researchers who have contributed to a better understanding
of the dynamics of complex social-ecological systems. A set of key concepts
underlying resilience thinking provide a framework for assessing the resilience
of natural resource systems and for considering management options to set the
system on a sustainable trajectory. The practitioners workbook has been developed
specifically to provide guidance to people engaged in natural resource management,
through a set of activities designed to explore system parameters and management
options for their own system of interest from a resilience perspective. A companion volume (Vol. 2 - draft) to the workbook for practitioners provides supplementary notes on the key concepts that are included in the assessment.
The Resilience Assessment workbook for Scientists emerged from case-study comparisons
of regional SESs in the Resilience Alliance (Walker et al 2006), and builds
on an initial suggested framework (Walker et al 2002). It is intended as a guide
for those familiar with the basic concepts of resilience and systems dynamics.
