This document proposes a framework for defining resilient communities. It defines resiliency as a system's ability to absorb disturbances and reorganize while maintaining structure and function. Vulnerability is the lack of resilience that makes systems susceptible to harm from exposure to hazards. The framework includes social, economic, cultural, physical, political, geographical, environmental, and historical dimensions to analyze a community's resilience. The authors developed this comprehensive framework to measure resilience in communities across different dimensions and identify strengths and weaknesses to improve overall resilience.

This document summarizes Nasir Khan's PhD research on using Amartya Sen's capabilities approach to development to argue for building people's entitlements and capacities to protect themselves from natural disasters. It provides examples of recent disasters in Haiti, Christchurch, and Pakistan to show discrepancies in damage cannot be fully explained by natural factors alone. The capabilities approach focuses on what people are effectively able to do and be. The document outlines the basic components of capabilities (functionings, capabilities, and entitlements) and explains how people's capabilities sets are affected by disasters. It argues development policy should aim to minimize capability losses by restoring fit between components, locating alternative functionings, prioritizing vital entitlements, and shifting from post-

Disasters and Resilience: Issues and Perspectives

From institutions to governance, Part 2

Victor Galaz

This document discusses the relationship between good governance and protecting vital ecosystems. It defines good governance according to the World Bank's indicators and examines how governance matters for outcomes like forest cover change and biodiversity. It then explores various "misfits" like temporal, spatial, thresholds, and cascading dynamics misfits that can occur between social and ecological systems. The document considers whether adaptive governance may help address these challenges and differences between governance, institutions, adaptive management, and adaptive co-management.

Gender mainstreaming and gender analysis in work addressing risk reduction: O...

Oxfam GB

Understanding how gender relations shape women’s and men’s lives is critical to disaster risk reduction (DRR). This is because women’s and men’s different roles, responsibilities, and access to resources influence how each will be affected by different hazards, and how they will cope with and recover from disaster. This presentation contains useful tools for assessing capacity and vulnerability. This presentation is part of Oxfam GB's Gender and Disaster Risk Reduction training pack available at www.oxfam.org.uk/genderdrrpack.

Per Olsson Transformation lecture

Victor Galaz

This document summarizes research on transformations for sustainability. It discusses the concepts of adaptability and transformability in social-ecological systems, and frameworks for understanding and navigating transformations across multiple scales from macro to micro. Case studies are presented on transformations in water management and coastal resource governance. Key aspects of preparing for transformation include identifying thresholds, networks, and overcoming barriers. Navigating transitions involves using windows of opportunity, maintaining flexibility, and fostering cross-scale interactions. Building resilience in new systems requires creating incentives for stewardship and mobilizing networks.

From institutions to governance, Part 1

Victor Galaz

This document discusses governance and adaptive governance. It begins by explaining why governance is becoming increasingly complex with more space for self-organization. It then outlines some global changes that impact governance, such as decentralization and the rise of non-governmental organizations and international agreements. The document discusses decision-making in both centralized and complex governance systems that involve multiple actors. It introduces the concepts of adaptive management and adaptive co-management before defining adaptive governance as extending beyond specific places to include exploration of multiple examples of adaptive co-management simultaneously in a polycentric manner across various levels of social organization. The document presents some illustrations of adaptive governance and notes there is no consensus on definitions. It closes by discussing approaches to making sense of complexity in governance through

The document discusses the community model concept for the San Francisco Estuary. It describes the Cascade project, which developed a hydrodynamic model of the Bay-Delta system using Deltares software. There is now an initiative to launch an open source, web-based community model for the Bay-Delta in 2014. This could provide opportunities for Deltares in terms of advertising, research collaboration, and potential consultancy projects. Experience from Cascade showed that legal contracts took time but developers were committed to delivering relevant software.

Lecture 2. Adaptive governance and bridging organisations

Victor Galaz

This document discusses adaptive governance and the role of bridging organizations at different scales. It provides three case studies: 1) Kristianstads Vattenrike in Sweden restored wetlands and habitats through a bridging organization that connected local actors and networks with regional, national, and international levels of governance. 2) The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority rezoned the Great Barrier Reef, increasing protected areas through bridging state and local actors and balancing ecosystem services. 3) The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources reduced illegal fishing in the Southern Ocean by bridging national governments and non-state actors to collaboratively manage fisheries.

This document outlines the process and framework for conducting a social-ecological systems vulnerability and adaptive capacity assessment. It discusses top-down and bottom-up approaches to climate adaptation policy and describes a participatory vulnerability assessment approach. Key components of the rapid baseline vulnerability assessment include identifying exposure units, climate hazards and stresses, resilience, impacts of historical events, changing exposures and stresses, and indicators of current and future vulnerability. Determinants of adaptive capacity and types of social-ecological systems adaptation research are also summarized.
