In 2020, China achieved the goal of eradicating absolute poverty in rural areas, securing a comprehensive victory in the fight against poverty. As a result, the focal point of the 'three rural' (agriculture, countryside, and farmers) works underwent a historic shift. However, one should be cautious as the eradication of absolute poverty did not fundamentally alter the inherent vulnerability of small farming households. Rural areas, especially those recently lifted out of poverty, still face challenges such as low development quality, weak industrial foundations, limited human capital, and inadequate resilience against external risks and challenges, posing real risks of falling back into poverty. Hence, during this critical period of consolidating and expanding the achievements in poverty alleviation, it is of great practical significance to construct a comprehensive indicator system objectively assessing rural household resilience to uncertainty shocks.

“…So far, research on rural resilience has mainly focused on the definition and connotation of rural resilience, quantitative measurements based on evaluation indicators, the identification of multi-dimensional influencing factors, vulnerability and adaptive management, etc. In terms of research objects, most studies on rural resilience focus on rural communities affected by natural disasters, climate change and other environmental disturbances, such as coastal rural areas and arid areas [31,32]. However, there is still a lack of studies on rural resilience in the context of social and environmental changes (such as rapid urbanization and rural scenic transformation), which makes it difficult to achieve diversified dimensions for the study of rural resilience.…”

The Yangtze River Delta region is the most economically active and open region in China. It is also the region with the most prominent contradictions between urban and rural development. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the resilience of the rural areas in this region so that they can develop further with resources and opportunities after sustaining shocks. This study used a weighted TOPSIS method to measure the rural resilience of 153 research units from 2000 to 2019 and then applied the ESDA method to measure the spatial agglomeration or heterogeneity characteristics. The results show that: (1) The rural resilience of this region is higher in the east and lower in the west; (2) rural resilience has obvious spatial agglomeration characteristics, which have undergone a process of shifting from strong to weak before becoming strong again; and (3) the hotspots of rural resilience gradually shifted from Jiangsu to Zhejiang, while the coldspots gradually shifted from Zhejiang to Anhui. Finally, the K-means clustering algorithm was applied to divide all research units into five types: natural capital-dominated areas, productive capital-dominated areas, human capital-dominated areas, social-financial capital-dominated areas and general development areas. Then, the strategies for resilience promotion were proposed accordingly.

“…Psychological capacities of individuals or a person can determine its level of coping a disaster, whereas social dimensions are from the society ones live in and economic dimensions involves diversi cation and nancial choices (Khatibi et al, 2019). Effective implementation of the risk reduction plan is essentially an important factor for saving lives and livelihoods of numerous people across Pakistan who are vulnerable.…”

The resilience of the rural household to food insecurity has been assessed in two districts of Tharparkar desert, Sindh-Pakistan. The main aim of the study was to assess the prospects of the local community to cope with droughts. Drought has been the most threatening risk for the study area due to its severe effects on the food, income, health, adaptability of the people, and survival of livestock. The resilience of locals to the serious dry conditions was estimated by using a Resilience Index. The household resilience index from ten latent variables: income and food access, agricultural assets, non-agricultural asset, access to basic services, social safety nets, sensitivity, adaptive capacity, climate change, agricultural practices and technology and enabling institutional environment were calculated. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was conducted for checking the appropriateness of data as a whole and along with ten components of resilience index. Data samples were measured by the KMO Test of Sampling Adequacy (0.512) which indicates that the components used for PCA were relevant as the standard value was greater than equal to 0.5. The results state that overall Tharparkar region was vulnerable due to having more livelihood from natural resource dependency. The availability of the water resources by any community aided their survival even in the worst conditions. Nagarparkar being close to the openly accessible water was comparatively more resilient then Islamkot which had no water in close proximity. Evitable attention is needed by the policy makers to tackle food insecurity of local community.
