摘要: Abstract Resilient socio-ecological systems (SESs) can handle negative environmental changes well without regime shifts. In this study, we introduce the concept of spatial resilience and apply it to assessment, planning, ecosystem-based management urban wetland interface in Taihu Lake watershed China. From assumption that indicators patterns processes affect SES resilience, case focuses on importance ecological sensitivity, water quality, vegetation cover. We consider two criteria protection recovery, which are further categorized into general specific types, examine four scenarios, namely, key protection, recovery. Spatial is assessed with an indicator-based system, multi-criteria evaluation method, visualization based a geographic information system (GIS) create zones. zonings evaluated context different degrees resilience. Results integrated quality cover, determine practical application Zoning maps show corresponding plans generated basis social indicators, existing administrative region. These be used by authorities or restoration activities for services wetlands.
