“…The first framework has been developed by Fekete et al [13]. It characterises transformation processes with three specific steps: 'Triggers', 'Interventions' and 'Adjustments' (see Fig 1).…”

“…It characterises transformation processes with three specific steps: 'Triggers', 'Interventions' and 'Adjustments' (see Fig 1). Certain 'Triggers' (e.g., a crisis as initiating event) lead to 'Interventions', defined as a "human-induced change process" [13]. 'Adjustments' are smaller changes made to deal with the change process and to improve it.…”

“…Additionally, the numerous scientific publications on transformation theories and concepts may help to understand general transformational processes. This extensive body of literature, however, includes relatively few empirical case studies on specific transformations compared to the number of conceptual articles [13]. Our study aims at expanding the knowledge on transformations through analysing the emergence of past successful transformations in four different environmental domains in Switzerland.…”

Transformations–defined as deep, radical, non-linear, multi-dimensional, systemic processes of change–are required to avert serious threats to humanity and the environment. In this study, we have analysed past transformations in Switzerland in four environmental domains, with the aim to draw conclusions for current challenges, such as the net-zero transformation. Firstly, we have conceptualised and defined transformations. Secondly, we have applied and further developed two theoretical frameworks to (i) identify actual transformations in the four domains, and (ii) analyse crucial characteristics of these profound changes. Furthermore, we have examined relevant enabling and hindering factors for transformations. Our study is based on literature review and expert interviews, as well as triangulation workshops to align the collected information. We conclude that providing general blueprints for transformations is not possible due to the complexity and context-specific nature of these processes. However, for the net-zero transformation to be successful, we found that unprecedent efforts are needed with respect to pace, sectors involved, levels of initiative, mindset change in the broader population, and involvement of technology and research. Specifically, we recommend fast action to (i) implement a steering committee combined with citizens’ assemblies and cross-sectoral discussion platforms, (ii) encourage different actors to take initiatives at multiple levels, and (iii) enable a broad mindset change across different societal groups.

“…Kiribati is one of the lesser-known countries in the South Pacific or Oceania continent, with relatively few tourists visiting the destination [17,18]. The World Health Organization (WHO) database in 2022 indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic began in Kiribati in January 2022, with 1,387 confirmed cases, which led the country to Alert Level 3. International flights were suspended, and inter-island travel to and from outer islands continued only for those who had completed their COVID-19 vaccination.…”

This research investigates the COVID-19 pandemic impact of Agrotourism between Caping Merapi in Indonesia and Tobwakira Farm in Kiribati. Location determination was carried out purposively at Caping Merapi Agrotourism in Indonesia and Tobwakira Farm Agrotourism in Kiribati. Respondents used in this study were 3 internal parties for both locations, 6 visitors of Caping Merapi and 2 visitors of Tobwakira Farm. The analytical method used is SWOT analysis and IE matrix. This study indicates that Caping Merapi agrotourism faced challenges due to a decrease in the number of visitors and employees, a negative margin of profit, and the low salaries of employees during COVID-19. While Tobwakira Farm faced challenges such as decreased workers and visitors, low salaries for its employees, but income has been achieved due to insufficient importation. Moreover, Caping Merapi's internal total score is 2.96 and its external total score is 2.45, while Tobwakira Farm's internal total score is 2.83 and its external total score is 2.53, indicating the two agrotourism are in cell V, which means growing and maintaining. The SWOT Matrix strategy development strategy for Caping Merapi and Tobwakira Farm includes the following objectives: maintaining and strengthening the characteristics of agrotourism by enhancing the facilities and services, improving human resources in developing consumable products from consumable plants, maximizing promotion in various social media platforms and improve human resources skills in information technology, and conducting online training. In the IE matrix, the development strategy consists of market penetration, product development, and market development.

“…While transformative resilience literature is rapidly growing, it remains an intricate construct with little contextualization, conceptualization, and operationalization. Existing research on transformative adaptation for resilience is either focused on single sectors such as governance [9,19], infrastructures [32,33], planning [34,35], or linked to small case studies with specific shocks or stresses such as flooding [36,37], drought [38], or hurricane [39]. Transformative resilience, by nature, is a context-dependent concept, and the significance of a special focus (transformative resilience to what) and capacity (transformative resilience of what) can differ in different contexts and scales.…”

Transformative Resilience: An Overview of Its Structure, Evolution, and Trends

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Transformational resilience is at the forefront of academic and policy initiatives on sustainable development, climate adaptation, and disaster risk reduction as a result of successive and complex changes in global dynamics. While the literature on transformative resilience is growing, there is no comprehensive analysis of its trends and development. This paper aims to close this knowledge gap by presenting a multifaceted bibliometric overview of transformative resilience literature, revealing its trends, focus areas, transitions, and intellectual foundations. This is based on 415 Web of Science-indexed articles published between 1996 and 2021. According to the findings, the concept has developed primarily around four key presentive domains: vulnerability and climate change adaptation, urban and regional disaster resilience, sustainability management and institutional transformation, and COVID-19. While priorities and subjects of research have evolved over time, key concepts such as resilience, adaptation, and climate change have recurred. Influential authors and documents from three interrelated resilience schools, including sustainable development, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction, have shaped the field’s intellectual foundations. We contend that a greater variety of contexts is required to facilitate transformative resilience’s investigation, description, and experimentation.
