САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:
Natural social systems provide opportunities for human survival, living and development, but such development may be of less benefit to farmers in low-income and remote rural settlements because they lack money and complete infrastructure. Introducing the concept of resilience can help explore the development potential of rural areas and add vitality to the realization of high-quality rural development. Based on ecosystem services (ESs) and ecological thresholds, we calculated ecological resilience. For the social systems dimension, we measure social resilience using a resilience assessment methodology developed by FAO. Afterwards, this study constructed a framework, integrating ecological resilience and social resilience, to assess interactions between rural socioeconomic systems and ecosystems. On this basis, this research further divided the rural resilience system into five spatial clusters with different coupling coordination. The study shows that social resilience is better in rural settlements closer to cities, while remote rural settlements have better ecological resilience. Rural settlements close to cities tend to have higher incomes and better educational opportunities than remote rural settlements. In contrast, remote rural settlements perform well in terms of forest area and natural ecology. Based on these findings, we propose specific policy measures to meet these challenges. The operational framework of this study can provide new insights and meaningful theoretical references for the study of rural resilience.
