Sustainability has high importance in desert ecosystems, and they are often under the influence of direct, indirect, and unpredictable stresses. Sustainable management of arid and semi-arid ecosystems and drought risk management, which occur in these areas, largely depend on its resilience and management. The current research was conducted to evaluate the impact of social, economic, ecological, and institutional factors on ecosystem resilience in the Galcheshmeh area of Mahalat, Markazi Province. For this purpose, by examining the sources and gathering experts' opinions and face-to-face interviews with local people, a worksheet was prepared and classified as a tool to collect information. Then the reliability of the questionnaire was analyzed by the data logistic analysis method and by calculating Cronbach's alpha. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed. The results of the normality test of the questionnaire data in economic, social, institutional, and ecological indices showed that the questionnaire data have a normal distribution. The results of the t-test showed that effective factors in resilience were evaluated above average, and it was found that all factors have a role in resilience. The results showed that the social parameter with a coefficient of 0.85 is the most influential factor in the resilience of the study area. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
