“…The reconstruction of the causal links between the different historical events in the region and outcomes in terms of the resilience of social-ecological systems was based on a considerable amount of sources and data that retain, however, a certain degree of subjectivity [28,29]. To deal with this, we have relied on the direct involvement of stakeholders.…”

“…In another study, Nkhata et al [43] employed trust and commitment as proxies for potential, while they defined connectedness as the degree to which actors in social relationships are linked. Daedlow et al [29] attempted to develop in a social system indicators to differentiate potential and connectedness et al All three studies found that assessing the properties of potential and connectedness remained a challenge when applying the adaptive cycle and highlighted the need for the greater inclusion of disciplinary social science theories to describe transitions between various system stages in social systems.…”

“…Although the notion of an adaptive cycle at the outset was developed as a useful metaphor for describing change in ecological systems, it has since evolved by incorporating theory from social and economic sciences and has proven useful for analysing how economic, social and social-ecological systems change throughout time [28,29]. Nevertheless, a deeper examination of sociocultural contexts and power relation might help identify fundamental variations in different social-ecological systems dynamics [30].…”

Changes in agriculture, including simultaneous intensification and abandonment, have significantly shaped the evolution of rural areas. The assessment of resilience in agricultural systems could provide insights into the ability of many rural areas to survive and regain competitiveness following disturbances. The aim of this study is to use the adaptive cycle heuristic as a diagnostic tool to study dynamics of change in two agricultural sectors (durum wheat/sheep and goat farming) in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy over the last seventy years. The heuristic was applied through a participatory approach in a community of stakeholders who have conceived, in collaboration with researchers, the Manifesto "Let's Think Basilicata" as a regional instrument of analysis and a laboratory of ideas and development of proposals. Despite some methodological difficulties, the adaptive cycle heuristic proved useful to describe processes of change in the socio-ecological system and could have enormous potential in shaping policy instruments for rural areas. However, much greater research is needed, both in terms of theory and methodology, before policy impacts on resilience in socio-ecological systems can be fully understood.

“…Certains chercheurs indiquent aussi qu'il est difficile de mesurer les dimensions du cycle d'adaptation (Carpenter et al 2001). D'autres suggèrent qu'il est nécessaire d'inclure davantage d'approches interdisciplinaires pour décrire les transitions entre les différentes étapes qui se succèdent au sein des systèmes socioécologiques (Abel et al 2006;Daedlow et al 2011;Davidson 2010;Gunderson et Holling 2002). Cela dit, nos entrevues démontrent que les participants à notre recherche sont à l'aise avec le concept de résilience et y voient plusieurs similarités avec les savoirs traditionnels.…”

Dans le cadre de notre projet de recherche sur la vulnérabilité et la résilience du tourisme dans l’Arctique, nous avons évalué les interactions entre le changement climatique et le tourisme dans les communautés de l’Arctique canadien. Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons à la capacité d’adaptation en présentant les résultats d’entrevues menées à Nain au Nunatsiavut, dans la province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Alors que de nombreux résidents ont manifesté leur enthousiasme à propos de la nouvelle désignation de leur communauté en tant que point d’entrée du parc national du Canada des Monts-Torngat, il y avait aussi une insatisfaction par rapport à certains aspects du nouveau parc, comme le manque de possibilités d’emplois locaux. Certains se sont montrés optimistes à propos du potentiel encore inexploité que constitue le tourisme (de la croisière aux visites écotouristiques accompagnées de guides locaux), alors que d’autres ont manifesté leur inquiétude. En tenant compte du fait que le développement touristique au Nunatsiavut en est à ses débuts, nous concluons que les stratégies d’adaptation devraient continuer à mettre l’accent sur l’éducation et viser l’information et la mobilisation des résidents dans les initiatives locales et régionales.

“…This theory, while originating in biophysical processes, has been viewed increasingly as relevant to illuminating social processes (Daedlow, Beckmann, & Arlinghaus, 2011;Dooley, 1997; Ownership A conversation that begins with acknowledging how one has contributed to creating the current community reality. Subsequently this becomes a stance from which to initiate new action, rather than to assign blame.…”

Accessibility and Viability: A Complex Adaptive Systems Approach to a Wicked Problem for the Local Food Movement

There is a tension between enhancing vulnerable people's access to local nutritious food and ensuring viable incomes for local farmers. This tension arises as a result of interactions and processes scaling outward to the broad level of economic and political ideologies (Ikerd, 2005;. We suggest that by conceiving of this tension as a wicked problem and employing complex adaptive systems theory, we create space in which community members are empowered to share existing knowledge and develop new knowledge as they innovate potential solutions and discuss constructive change. We introduce this space as the beginnings of a dialogue-driven, shared journey through four features of the back loop of the adaptive cycle. Drawing on this theoretical foundation as well as Block's (2009) structure for creating a community of belonging, we hosted two one-half-day-long events for 90 community members, including farmers, foodinsecure people, government representatives, and public agencies. This bottom-up, emergent approach to developing new system patterns may ultimately transform the domain of the problem and present viable alternative futures, which then may be adapted to the local reality and enhance community well being.
