A practical procedure for assessing resilience of social-ecological system using the System Dynamics Approach  Newton Paulo Bueno
While growing attention has been paid to the idea of   
resilience of social-ecological   systems, it seems that  
there  still  are  a  number  of  gaps  to  bridge  before  we 
could  really  use  this  concept  for  practical  purposes. 
The main problem is that the most of the works in the 
field  are  unclear  on  how  to  unequivocally  measure 
the degree of resilience of particular social-ecological 
systems.  In  this  paper,  we  suggest  to  be  possible   
identifying  the  loss  of  resilience  of  social-ecological 
systems  as  a  process  of  loop  dominance  shift.    In 
order  to  illustrate  the  argument,  we  use  a  very 
stylized   system   dynamics   model   for   irrigation 
systems  developed  by  scholars  associated  to  the 
Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at 
Indiana University.
