ABSTRACT

Diagnosing a region’s ecosystem and its level of resiliency would provide an alternative viewpoint of risk management and disaster preparedness. As a result, the region would become more resilient to its environmental vulnerability and long-lasting human impact on the ecosystem. This study is intended to provide a framework to diagnose a region’s natural resiliency by assessing possible disturbance, threshold, and the adaptive cycle. These three are critical components to properly understand a region’s natural resiliency and thus frequently implemented in various research projects. Using the three key components, we analyzed the levels of resiliency of Sarasota Bay ecosystem in the state of Florida in the U.S. The study findings provide policy guidelines and recommendations for a better disaster preparedness strategy.
