Abstract :

Resilience is a multidimensional concept that takes on various analytical applications based on the presence in different specialized fields,. The aim of the current research is to investigate the relationship between the features of the social system and the reorganization of the socio-ecological systems of the agricultural sector in the context of the concept of resilience. For this purpose, 118 experts from the country's management and planning organization, the vice president for strategic planning and supervision, as the only reliable institution with a comprehensive view and using the census technique, were selected and answered questions related to the characteristics of socio-ecological agricultural systems of Iran through a questionnaire. The findings obtained using the canonical correlation analysis method showed that the characteristics of the social system have a significant relationship with the reorganization of the social-ecological systems of Iran's agriculture. The canonical correlation analysis showed two significant sets between the features of the social system and the reorganization of social-ecological agricultural systems, and the significance level of 0.000 with a probability of 99 percent confirmed the existence of a canonical correlation between the two sets of variables. The results of canonical correlation showed that the total canonical coefficient between the social system and reorganization is 0.811 x 0.811, which shows the correlation between the two hidden variables at the rate of 0.65, so such a social system plays a role, it is effective and dynamic in the context of the sustainability of the socio-ecological systems of Iran's agriculture.
