乡村生产空间系统韧性的科学认知及其研究域

韧性作为乡村生产空间系统的重要属性,是乡村生产空间系统应对内外环境扰动时主动抵御(系统维持)、适应(系统演化)或者更新(系统突变)的一种可持续发展能力,是实现乡村振兴与可持续发展的必由之路。论文基于国内外韧性研究成果和乡村生产空间系统内涵与本质,科学认知乡村生产空间系统韧性的内涵;基于认识论与本体论,从扰动、利益相关者、系统状态、系统目的与韧性能力5个方面对乡村生产空间系统韧性进行质性研究,解构出扰动与脆弱性、脆弱性与韧性回馈、韧性评估与阈值效应、适应性治理等乡村生产空间系统韧性研究的基本研究域,以初步形成其研究框架;并从多学科理论融合与多方法集成、时空尺度关联和多维因素传导及利益相关者一体化适应性治理体系构建等方面厘定其未来研究重点。

Rural production space system resilience and its research domains

As an important attribute of rural production spatce system (RPSS), resilience is a sustainable ability, including persistence (system maintenance), adaptability (system evolution), and transformability (system mutation) in response to internal and external environmental disturbances. It is the only pathway to realizing rural revitalization and sustainable development in rural China. Based on the international and Chinese research and RPSS attributes, this study explored the connotations and essence of RPSS resilience. Meanwhile, based on the epistemology and ontology of philosophy, a qualitative model of RPSS resilience was developed considering the five dimensions of disturbance, stakeholders, state of system, objective of system, and ability of resilience. Applying this qualitative model, this study identified four main research contents of RPSS resilience, which include disturbance recognition and vulnerability analysis, the feedback relationship between vulnerability and resilience, resilience assessment and threshold effect analysis, and the development of adaptive governance system. This article also presented some future research focuses, which include new multidisciplinary and integrative methods, spatiotemporal scale association and multi-dimensional factor transmission, and the integrated development of adaptive governance system of stakeholders. This study may be helpful for the prevention and reduction of major risks and for promoting the development of rural revitalization and rural sustainable development in rural China.
