Scholars from many different intellectual disciplines have attempted to measure, estimate, or quantify resilience. However, there is growing concern that lack of clarity on the operationalization of the concept will limit its application. In this paper, we discuss the theory, research development and quantitative approaches in ecological and community resilience. Upon noting the lack of methods that quantify the complexities of the linked human and natural aspects of community resilience, we identify several promising approaches within the ecological resilience tradition that may be useful in filling these gaps. Further, we discuss the challenges for consolidating these approaches into a more integrated perspective for managing social-ecological systems.
许多不同学科的学者都试图对恢复力进行测量、估计或量化。然而，人们越来越担心，对该概念的操作化缺乏明确性将限制其应用。本文讨论了生态和社区恢复力的理论、研究进展和定量方法。在注意到缺乏方法来量化社区恢复力中人类和自然相互联系的复杂性后，我们确定了生态恢复力传统中几种有前途的方法，这些方法可能有助于填补这些空白。此外，我们还讨论了将这些方法整合到更综合的社会生态系统管理视角中的挑战。
