Strengthening the research on the change in resilience and adaptation strategies of oasis rural regional system in arid areas under the impact of various factors is beneficial for the sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas.In response to the shortcomings of existing research on rural resilience,which cannot fully reflect the dynamic change characteristics of rural regional systems,and pays little attention to the scale effects and spatial type differences,this study took Ganzhou District,Zhangye City,Gansu Province,an oasis area in the middle reaches of the Heihe River as an example to construct the county adaptative resilience and township coping resilience measurement systems,analyze the resilience evolution characteristics and types differences,and propose adaptation countermeasures for improving resilience at different scales.The results show that:1)Since 1990,the cumulative effects of county-level factors of rural areas showed a"S"-shaped process of change and an olive-shaped interannual change amplitude.The stability of social and economic systems is stronger than that of ecosystems.Rural development has gone through the stages of reorganization-early development(1990-2008),rapid development-protection(2009-2016),and protection-release(2017-2020).The adaptive resilience showed a change of slow rise-rapid growth-stagnant growth,and ecology is the main constraint dimension for resilience improvement.2)Since 2011,the coping resilience of townships has fluctuated greatly and has shown a downward trend.Townships that mainly focused on large-scale grain production and animal husbandry have a higher ability to resist risks,while townships with a combination of richer water and soil resources have stronger adaptability and innovation and transformation capacity.Developing modem large-scale agriculture and multi-functional characteristic agriculture is conducive to the construction of resilient rural areas,and innovation and transformation ability is the main constraint dimension for resilience improvement.3)Increasing ecological protection and restoration efforts in counties,strengthening ecological conservation functions,optimizing and adjusting the industrial structure of townships,exploring the diverse values of factors,innovating water rights allocation and management systems at multiple scales,and improving rural water use efficiency are the key adaptations for enhancing rural resilience at the current stage.
