Assessing and Managing Resilience in Social-Ecological Systems: A Practitioner's Workbook

The resilience workbook wiki is a collaborative project involving researchers and practitioners engaged in natural resource management who seek a holistic approach to managing social-ecological systems for long-term sustainbility. The workbook wiki is aimed at those who have experience applying resilience concepts to social-ecological systems and who want to share their knowledge by contributing to the on-going development of the resilience assessment guide.


The workbook wiki is based on Version 1.0 of the Practitioner's workbook "Assessing and Managing Resilience in Social-Ecological Systems". The workbook is currently structured around a set of key concepts that underly resilience thinking and provide a framework for assessing the resilience of natural resource systems. Each concept is explained by way of an example and a summary list of key messages, which is followed by a set of activities designed to help users explore system parameters and management options for their own system of interest from a resilience perspective.

There are currently five main sections to the workbook:

1: Resilience of What, to What?
2: Assessing Alternate States and Thresholds
3: Assessing Cycles of Change
4: Adaptability and Transformative Change
5: Next Steps: Interventions


New modules or examples added to the wiki by registered users will identify the author and all new content and editing changes will be regularly reviewed by a team of editors. In addition to editing existing content, new sections or examples may be created. Examples can include both full or partial applications of the resilience assessment or describe a particular social-ecological system in the context of the key resilience concepts.
