Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
The objective of this paper is to use the concept of resilience as an analytical approach in furthering the understanding of livelihoods, specifically considering the dynamics of how people make a living, and the various characteristics of complex adaptive systems, in particular scale and uncertainty. It presents an overview of the stresses and shocks found in the two Cambodian fishing communities. The overview includes an examination of livelihood diversification as a coping strategy and potentially an adaptive strategy. Resilience-building strategies observed at various levels (in particular, the household and community level) are then explored, with specific attention to three clusters of strategies learning to live with change and uncertainty; nurturing learning and adapting; and creating opportunities for self-organization. In the last section, notions of well-being are examined from a community perspective, as a way of providing a `surrogate' for resilience.
