社区复原力得到广泛推广，使社区能够积极应对一系列风险，包括冲击、极端事件和其他变化。虽然许多研究已经确定了赋予复原力的特征或能力，但复原力不仅仅是这些特征或能力的总和。复原力是一种新出现的特性--各种能力相互联系，共同发挥作用。我们提出了一个实证分析五种不同的能力，并评估它们之间的相互作用如何赋予弹性在英国康沃尔郡的两个沿海社区。这些能力是地方归属感、领导力、社区凝聚力和效力、社区网络以及知识和学习。根据调查和焦点小组讨论，我们的结果表明，居民以不同的组合利用这些能力，以不同的方式实现弹性。这提供了一个动态的和社会上细致入微的角度对社区的复原力作为一个过程，可能通知保护，减少灾害风险，适应气候变化和社区发展的理论和实践。
Community resilience is widely promoted so that communities can respond positively to a range of risks, including shocks, extreme events, and other changes. Although much research has identified characteristics or capacities that confer resilience, resilience is more than simply the sum of these. Resilience is an emergent property-the capacities are linked and act together. We present an empirical analysis of five different capacities and assess how interactions between them confer resilience in two coastal communities in Cornwall, UK. These capacities are place attachment, leadership, community cohesion and efficacy, community networks, and knowledge and learning. Based on a survey and focus group discussions, our results show that residents draw on these capacities in different combinations, enabling resilience in diverse ways. This provides a dynamic and socially nuanced perspective on community resilience as process, potentially informing theory and practice of conservation, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and community development.
