本文将社会复原力定义为群体或社区科普社会、政治和环境变化所造成的外部压力和干扰的能力。这一定义突出了与生态复原力概念相关的社会复原力，生态复原力是生态系统在面临干扰时自我维持的一个特征。社会复原力和生态复原力之间存在着明显的联系，特别是对于那些依赖生态和环境资源维持生计的社会群体或社区而言。但尚不清楚在这种情况下，具有复原力的生态系统是否能使社区具有复原力。本文探讨了韧性是否是描述社会群体的社会和经济状况的有用特征，并探讨了社会韧性和生态韧性之间的潜在联系。回顾了人类生态学、生态经济学和农村社会学这一跨学科研究的起源，并概述了生态变化对当代越南沿海资源依赖型社区的影响。
This article defines social resilience as the ability of groups or communities to cope with external stresses and disturbances as a result of social, political and environmental change. This definition highlights social resilience in relation to the concept of ecological resilience which is a characteristic of ecosystems to maintain themselves in the face of disturbance. There is a clear link between social and ecological resilience, particularly for social groups or communities that are dependent on ecological and environmental resources for their livelihoods. But it is not clear whether resilient ecosystems enable resilient communities in such situations. This article examines whether resilience is a useful characteristic for describing the social and economic situation of social groups and explores potential links between social resilience and ecological resilience. The origins of this interdisciplinary study in human ecology, ecological economics and rural sociology are reviewed, and a study of the impacts of ecological change on a resource-dependent community in contemporary coastal Vietnam in terms of the resilience of its institutions is outlined.
