在过去的15年中，对适应能力的研究得到了迅速的发展。本文批判性地回顾了这些文献，描述了该领域随时间的变化，并突出了研究的新前沿。它解释了适应能力的研究是如何开始的，并且仍然受到一种基于资产的一刀切理论的严重影响，这种理论假设适应行动与资本的占有相称。它解释了为什么这一理论无法解释适应是如何在不同的背景和尺度下实践的。文章接着强调了新的研究，特别是那些将分析扩展到包括心理社会和制度层面的应用于较小规模分析的研究。这一转变承认并帮助克服了传统适应能力方法的局限性，但是该领域仍然缺乏能够解释适应能力和适应结果之间关系的理论。根据减少灾害风险和行为科学文献的研究结果，本文概述了一个由六个因素组成的框架，这些因素更好地解释了能力是如何转化为行动的，即：风险态度、个人经验、对当局的信任和期望、地方依恋、竞争关切以及家庭组成和动态。(C) 2017 Wiley期刊公司
In the past 15 years there has been rapid growth in research on adaptive capacity. This article critically reviews this literature, describing changes in the field over time, and highlighting the new frontiers in research. It explains how research on adaptive capacity began and remains heavily influenced by a one-size-fits-all assets-based theory that assumes that adaptation action is commensurate with the possession of capitals. It explains how this theory has been unable to explain how adaptation is actually practiced across diverse contexts and scales. The article then highlights new research, particularly that which extends analysis to include psycho-social and institutional dimensions applied at smaller scales of analysis. This shift recognizes and helps overcome the limits of traditional approaches to adaptive capacity, but the field still lacks theories that can explain the relationship between adaptive capacity and adaptation outcomes. Drawing on findings from disaster risk reduction and behavioral science literatures, this article outlines a framework comprised of six factors that better explain how capacity is translated and mobilized into action, namely: risk attitudes, personal experience, trust in and expectations of authorities, place attachment, competing concerns, and household composition and dynamics.
