Influencing Factors and Enhancement Strategies for Rural Emergency Resilience Management in Border Ethnic Minority Areas:A Case Study of 12 Villages across 5 Counties in Border Regions of Guangxi
In the context of the common pros-perity strategy,rural societies appear to face both development opportunities and challenges stemming from various internal and external uncertainties,as well as systemic complexities.Findings report that improving rural emergency management has been an important measure for advancing the national concept of modernization rural governance capabili-ties.For border ethnic areas,where frequent trade and personnel exchanges increase the possibility of emergency incidents,investigations have discov-ered a pressing need for a sustainable governance model to respond to these incidents promptly and adapt over the long term.Based on this,exami-ning the factors affecting the emergency resilience governance in border ethnic rural areas has demon-strated to be conducive to standardizing and sys-tematizing a long-term rural emergency manage-ment mechanism.This article,using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis,constructs a basic analytical framework encompassing institutional,capital,cultural,and facility resilience.Taking 12 villages in 5 counties of the Guangxi border ethnic region as case samples,this study examines the effects and mechanisms of multiple factors on the effectiveness of emergency resilience governance in border ethnic areas.Results show that the emergency resilience governance effectiveness in border ethnic rural are-as is influenced by a combination of factors,with no single variable being necessary on its own.No-tably,capital resilience,with a high consistency score of 0.88,emerges as a sufficient condition for effective emergency resilience governance in borde-rlands.The study,moreover,identifies two typical effective configurations for emergency resilience governance in border ethnic areas:"Capital-Cul-ture Type"and"Institution-Facility Type",high-lighting the significant impact of capital,institu-tional,cultural,and facility resilience on resili-ence governance effectiveness.By all accounts,this has policy implications for improving the effec-tiveness of emergency resilience governance in bor-der ethnic rural areas in the future.Despite these insights,the effectiveness of e-mergency resilience governance in these areas gen-erally shows a problem of"having resilience but not enough"in terms of capital,institutions,cul-ture,and facilities.Addressing this issue not only seems to require an effective response to the prob-lem of emergency management of rural risks but al-so innovating adaptive emergency management models.This could promote villagers'recognition and compliance by strengthening the normative constraints and flexible promotion of institutional resilience.Furthermore,optimizing capital resili-ence by consolidating resources and trust can strengthen inter-village relations.Stimulating cul-tural resilience by reinforcing administrative regu-lation and value orientation can potentially foster the value identification of villagers as well as col-laborative governance.In addition,spatial optimi-zation and quality improvement of facility resilience may enhance the"soft and hard power"of rural areas to withstand external shocks.These measures could then construct a long-term mechanism for e-mergency resilience governance in border ethnic rural areas.
