  Recently, resilience is increasingly used as a concept for understanding
natural disaster systems. Landslide is one of the most frequent geohazards in
the Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA).However, it is difficult to measure
local disaster resilience, because of special geographical location in the TGRA
and the special disaster landslide. Current approaches to disaster resilience
evaluation are usually limited either by the qualitative method or properties
of different disaster. Therefore, practical evaluating methods for the disaster
resilience are needed. In this study, we developed an indicator system to
evaluate landslides disaster resilience in the TGRE at the county level. It
includes two properties of inherent geological stress and external social
response, which are summarized into physical stress and social forces. The
evaluated disaster resilience can be simulated for promoting strategies with
fuzzy cognitive map (FCM).
