在危机时期观察到的社区复原力的研究通常侧重于外部力量对特定生态系统中固定的和同质的社区的影响。根据对加纳北部一个农村社区的定性案例研究，本文报告说，即使在一个以小农为主的社区，生计多样化显然也是一种主要的应对策略。本文侧重于支撑这种生计多样化的两个经常被忽视的方面：流动性和性别。流动性是第一个维度，指的是在社区之外发展的生计工作，如所谓的“定居者农业”、各种贸易活动和向城市外流。性别是第二个维度，指的是男性和女性以不同方式进行的种植和商业活动。流动性和性别都是不同的生计战略的特点，这些战略通过丰富社会关系和扩大网络而演变。本文认为，揭示社会关系和网络有助于我们重新构建社区复原力的概念，从基于社区的自组织能力转变为能够调动各种资源的灵活社会系统的能力。未来的研究议程必须推动对资源调动与生态复原力之间关系的理解，并必须澄清其技术和政策影响。
The study of community resilience observed in times of crisis has conventionally focused on the impact of external forces on sedentary and homogeneous communities embedded in specific ecological systems. Drawing on a qualitative case study of a rural community in northern Ghana, this paper reports that, even in a community of mostly small farmers, diversifying livelihoods is apparently a main coping strategy. This paper focuses on two, often overlooked, dimensions that underpin this livelihood diversification: mobility and gender. Mobility, the first dimension, indicates the work of livelihoods that develop outside the community such as the so-called “settler farming,” a variety of trading activities, and outmigration to cities. Gender, the second dimension, indicates cropping and commercial activities carried out differently by men and women. Both mobility and gender characterize diverse livelihood strategies, which evolve by enriching social relationships and extending networks. This paper argues that shedding light on social relationships and networks helps us to reframe the concept of community resilience from the community-based capacity of self-organization to the capacity of a flexible social system for being able to mobilize a wide variety of resources. Future research agendas must advance this understanding of resource mobilization in relation to ecological resilience and must clarify its technological and policy implications.
