尽管人们越来越关注如何建立韧性，但韧性和公平之间的相互作用，特别是在权力不对称的背景下，例如依赖资源型工业的社区或资源型社区，人们还没有很好地理解。在这里，我们提出了一个基于资源的社区中不对称资源获取和控制的程式化动态系统模型，该模型将工业资源退化、社区福祉和移民联系起来以响应经济和资源条件。该模型揭示了由于这些动态而导致的崩溃机制，其中过度开采和资源退化引发了不可逆转的人口下降。规范资源开采可以提高弹性（从持久性的意义上来说），同时也可以改变可持续平衡和对公平的影响。弹性并不能保证均衡时的公平性，这种错位在短期公平性和长期弹性之间的短暂相互作用中更为明显。弹性与公平之间的不一致表明公平考虑如何以重要方式改变政策设计过程。
Despite the growing focus on understanding how to build resilience, the interaction between resilience and equity, particularly in the context of power asymmetries like those in communities reliant on resource-based industries, or resource-based communities, is not well understood. Here we present a stylized dynamical systems model of asymmetric resource access and control in resource-based communities that links industrial resource degradation, community well-being, and migration in response to economic and resource conditions. The model reveals a mechanism of collapse due to these dynamics in which over-extraction and resource degradation trigger irreversible population decline. Regulating resource extraction can increase resilience (in the sense of persistence) while also shifting the sustainable equilibrium and the implications for equity. Resilience does not guarantee equity at equilibrium, and this misalignment is more pronounced in the transient interactions between short term equity and long term resilience. The misalignment between resilience and equity demonstrates how equity considerations change the policy design process in important ways.
