policy support for rural economic development based on holling s Ecological Concept of panarchy
International Journal of Sustainable Development and World Ecology, 2016Co-Authors: Penny Slight, Michelle Adams, Kate SherrenAbstract:Globally, rural regions are searching for innovative growth opportunities to reinvigorate their economies. This paper examines the redevelopment of rural communities through an Ecological lens – based on the notion of continuous cycles of adaptive change within complex systems as first identified within Holling’s Concept of panarchy. Panarchy suggests that complex systems have more than a single equilibrium point and, instead, have some inherent resiliency based on the notion of multiple stable regimes. As such, panarchy provides a Conceptual model that describes the ways in which complex social and Ecological systems are organized and structured both spatially and temporally. By drawing parallels between the characteristics of Ecological communities and rural economic systems, a novel framework is developed to assist policy-makers reflect on a rural community’s position along its own adaptive change cycle and, then, implement appropriate inventions to improve system resiliency – which in this case is lin...

Supported by empirical data emerging from both key informant interviews and content analysis of current rural development policy, this work also identifies leverage points where policy intervention may be most advantageous by specifying the timing of policy instruments on the cycle. Specifically, this framework describes four leverage points, three major and one minor, to help push or pull rural regions into an area of higher resilience.

From resilience to resourcefulness: A critique of resilience policy and activism
Progress in Human Geography, 2013Co-Authors: D. Mackinnon, Kate Driscoll DericksonAbstract:This paper provides a theoretical and political critique of how the Concept of resilience has been applied to places. It is based upon three main points. First, the Ecological Concept of resilience is conservative when applied to social relations. Second, resilience is externally defined by state agencies and expert knowledge. Third, a concern with the resilience of places is misplaced in terms of spatial scale, since the processes which shape resilience operate primary at the scale of capitalist social relations. In place of resilience, we offer the Concept of resourcefulness as an alternative approach for community groups to foster

does the Ecological Concept of disturbance have utility in urban social Ecological technological systems
Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2017Co-Authors: Nancy B Grimm, Steward T A Pickett, Rebecca L Hale, Mary L CadenassoAbstract:The Ecological Concept of disturbance has scarcely been applied in urban systems except in the erroneous but commonplace assumption that urbanization itself is a disturbance and cities are therefore perennially disturbed systems. We evaluate the usefulness of the Concept in urban ecology by exploring how a recent Conceptual framework for disturbance (Peters et al. 2011, Ecosphere, 2, art 81) applies to these social–Ecological–technological systems (SETS). Case studies, especially from the Long-Term Ecological Research sites of Baltimore and Phoenix, are presented to show the applicability of the framework for disturbances to different elements of these systems at different scales. We find that the framework is easily adapted to urban SETS and that incorporating social and technological drivers and responders can contribute additional insights to disturbance research beyond urban systems.
