摘要: Under global warming, the pastoral community's resilience is being severely impacted by climate change. Institutional adaptations and transformations play a crucial role in enhancing the resilience of societies against the impacts of climate change. Collective reserved pastures, as an informal institution, are pastures retained by communities to mitigate the damages caused by natural disasters and alleviate the man-land conflict. This paper constructed a dimension-determinant-indicator table consisting of compositional and contextual indicators to understand the characteristics of both individuals and community. Subsequently, it utilized the Composite Indicator Approach to calculate the pastoral community resilience index based on 104 households in 6 pastoral communities in Inner Mongolia. The main results indicated that the average resilience indices of communities in meadow steppe, desert steppe and typical steppe was 0.50, 0.46 and 0.44, respectively. Analysis of variance within communities of the same grassland type and between communities of different grassland types demonstrated that collective reserved pasture significantly improved community resilience. Collective pastures can contribute to community resilience through both long-term and short-term adaptations. The findings can offer valuable insights for the management of other common-pool resources such as forests and fisheries to cope with climate impact from the perspective of informal institutions.
