本文从社会科学的角度提出了广泛的弹性范式的贡献。社会系统的某些方面,特别是其意义的象征维度,需要考虑在奋进研究耦合的社会生态系统。基于符号维度,灾害被定义为未来预期的失败,社会复原力被定义为避免或承受灾害的社会系统属性。在这方面,三个能力的社会系统(适应,应对和参与),构成弹性。适应能力是一个系统的属性,在这个系统中,结构被修改以防止未来的灾害,而应对能力是系统应对过去发生的灾难性过程的属性。参与能力是衡量一个系统在其他系统的干预下改变自身结构的能力,从而降低系统的复原力。复原力概念提供了重要的认识论和政治见解,有助于克服与脆弱性概念联系在一起的阻碍社会减灾能力的倾向。
The paper presents contributions to the widespread resilience paradigm from a social science perspective. Certain aspects of social systems, especially their symbolic dimension of meaning, need to be taken into account in the endeavor to research coupled social-ecological systems. Due to the symbolic dimension, disasters are defined as the failure of future expectations, and social resilience is defined as the social system property of avoiding or withstanding disasters. In relation to this, three capacities of social systems (adaptive, coping, and participative) that constitute resilience are presented. The adaptive capacity is the property of a system in which structures are modified to prevent future disasters, whereas the coping capacity is the system's property of coping with calamitous processes that occurred in the past. The participative capacity is a measure of the system's ability to change its own structures with regard to interventions by other systems, decreasing the system's resilience. The concept of resilience provides important epistemological and political insights and can help overcome an orientation tied together with the concept of vulnerability that blocks social capacities for the mitigation of disasters.
