Developing a Regional Resilience Monitor
A/Prof. Michelle Duffy, Alan Lawton, Edwardo Valenzuela, Damian Morgan
This study developed a Regional Resilience Monitor (RRM) to enable the measurement of changes over time in a number of key dimensions for the well-being of regional Australia. Regional Resilience – in terms of health and well-being, productivity and economic growth, managing risk, and capturing opportunities for sustainable environments and human systems – has been identified as a key strategic priority for Australia, as it has been for a number of other countries. The RRM is made up of six interlocking elements that, together, form a holistic tool and provide a composite measure. These elements are economic health, human capital, social well-being, liveability, entrepreneurialism and social capital and social networks.
