ABSTRACT The natural and built environment of rural communities in southwestern Uruguay have been recently impacted by the intensification and expansion of agriculture. A large body of sociological and resilience literature highlights the importance of collective and community responses to stresses created by anthropogenic and/or natural changes. However, what has been less understood is how structural changes and sociopolitical contexts of rural communities impact their responses. Based on semi-structured interviews with key informants, participant observation at local public meetings during 2012 and 2013, and digital spatial analysis (between 2003 and 2016), we use the Community Capitals Framework to explore community resilience and collective agency, in response to multiple stresses in two communities of southwestern Uruguay. Results show multiple stresses affecting community well-being and the nature of sociopolitical contexts (social and political capitals), influenced local responses and access to resources. The analysis centers on structural changes of communities and critical aspects of social and political capitals as well as the needs for scholars and/or practitioners working on community resilience, to incorporate socio-spatial dimensions of inequality to better understand whether, why, and how communities respond to salient disruptions in specific rural settings.

自然和建筑环境发生重大变化下的社区复原力和集体代理：社区资本框架方法

摘要 乌拉圭西南部农村社区的自然环境和建筑环境最近受到农业集约化和扩张的影响。大量社会学和复原力文献强调了集体和社区应对人为和/或自然变化造成的压力的重要性。然而，人们不太了解的是农村社区的结构变化和社会政治背景如何影响他们的反应。基于对关键知情人的半结构化访谈、2012 年和 2013 年当地公众会议的参与者观察以及数字空间分析（2003 年至 2016 年），我们使用社区首都框架来探索社区韧性和集体代理，以应对多种乌拉圭西南部两个社区的压力。结果表明，多种压力会影响社区福祉和社会政治背景（社会和政治资本）的性质，影响当地的反应和资源的获取。分析集中在社区的结构变化和社会和政治资本的关键方面，以及致力于社区复原力的学者和/或从业者的需求，以纳入不平等的社会空间维度，以更好地了解社区是否存在、为什么以及如何应对特定农村环境中的显着干扰。
