IDEAS Factory - Curative Resilience Scoping Study

组织和社区都有一个目标（组织的目标可能比社区的目标更具体）--这就是定义它们的原因;是什么使它们独一无二。成功的组织结构和组织方式、资源配置方式以及开展的活动都是为了实现这一目标。复原力本身不是组织或社区的目的，但成功的组织将具有相关的功能和特征，即复原力的能力。然而，很难确定组织中有助于恢复力的功能和特征，以便人们可以提取它们来产生具有广泛适用性的恢复力的一般模型。生物，生物医学隐喻，能够做许多事情，并且可以同时解决多种目的。它也是有弹性的，除非有意识地指导，否则它没有基本目的。我们建议进行一项范围研究，以探索蓝图的发展（影响后续设计或实践的原始计划或原型[1]），使用生物医学隐喻，组织和社区可以用来评估他们适应或发展的需求，以变得有弹性。社会系统天生就很复杂，社会主体彼此之间的联系交织在一起，通过各种适应性过程，他们必须成功地在他们的世界中航行[2]。复杂的适应性社会系统通常被建模，以帮助理解系统内的代理和系统本身的行为[2]。行为，作为结果，是难以预先确定的，模型构建的挑战是包括适当的代理行为，以将其纳入一组人类社会系统（包括公民，社区和组织）中的特定行为，例如弹性。使用其他系统方法来探索本质上具有弹性的复杂适应性系统，例如人类，可以提供对必要的较低级别组件以及这些组件的行为规则的洞察，从而可以开发和验证特定的模型。在系统方法中，有三种方法特别适用于这一阶段：软系统方法论（SSM）、可行系统模型（VSM）和系统动力学（SD）。个别的方法有助于从不同的角度洞察复杂的人类活动系统，并记录相关的心理模型和共识，为研究结果的话语提供基础。然而，我们断言，如果一起使用，甚至可以获得更大的一致性和洞察力。探索这一点将是范围研究的额外好处。为了评估开发的蓝图并确定进一步研究的可行性，我们将进行一段时间的咨询，并与广泛的社区举行为期2天的研讨会，以评估蓝图的可用性和好处，足以证明和定义一个完整的研究计划，将研究工作扩展到包括模拟。[1]柯林斯英语词典-完整和未删节第6版2003。William柯林斯父子公司1979，1986，Harper柯林斯出版社1991，1994，1998，2000，2003[2]米勒，J.

Organisations and communities have a purpose (the organisation's may be more specific than the community's) - that is what defines them; what makes them unique. The way successful ones are structured and organised, how resources are deployed and what activities they undertake are all focused on achieving that purpose.Resilience is not a purpose of an organisation or community per se, but successful organisations will have relevant functions and features, the capability, to be resilient. However, it is difficult to identify those functions and features of an organisation that contribute to resilience such that one can extract them to produce a generalised model of resilience for broad applicability.The living being, the biomedical metaphor, is capable of many things and can address a multiplicity of purposes, often simultaneously. It is also resilient, It has no essential purpose unless directed consciously. We propose to undertake a Scoping Study to explore the development of a blueprint (an original plan or prototype that influences subsequent design or practice [1]) for resilience using the biomedical metaphor that organisations and communities can use to assess their need to adapt or develop to become resilient. Social systems are innately complex, with social agents enmeshed in a web of connections with one another and, through a variety of adaptive processes, they must successfully navigate through their world [2]. Complex adaptive social systems are often modelled to help understand the behaviour of both the agents within the systems and the system themselves [2]. Behaviour, being the outcome, is difficult to predetermine and a challenge of model building is to include the appropriate agent behaviour to incorporate that results in a specific behaviour such as resilience within the context of a set of human social systems that include citizens, communities and organisations.Using other system methods to explore an essentially resilient, complex adaptive system, such as the human being, may provide insight into the necessary lower-level components, and the behavioural rules of those components, such that a specific model can be developed and validated. Of the range of systems methods, three have a particular suitability for this stage: Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), the Viable Systems Model (VSM) and System Dynamics (SD). Individually the methods help provide insight into complex human activity systems from different perspectives and record the related mental models and consensus of those involved to provide a basis for discourse on the findings. However, we assert that when used together even greater coherence and insight can be gained. Exploring this will be an additional benefit from the scoping study.To evaluate the developed blueprint and determine further research viability, we will undertake a period of consultation, and hold a 2-day workshop with a broad set of communities, to assess the usability and benefits of the blueprint sufficient to justify and define a full research programme that extends the research work to include simulation.[1]Collins English Dictionary - Complete and Unabridged 6th Edition 2003.
