STUDY REGION ASSESSING RESILIENCE Programme On Social-ecological dynamics of ecosystem services in the Norrström Basin in Sweden (SEEN): a core regional case-study of PECS Team: Megan Meacham, Albert Norström, My Sellberg, Garry Peterson, Cibele Quieroz Affiliation: Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden STUDY REGION Gagnef Vansbro Borlänge Tierp Säter Hedemora The Norrström drainage basin is situated in south-central Sweden and covers 22 Östhammar Avesta 2 Ludvika 650 km . The region is heterogeneous in terms of dominating land cover and land Heby Norberg uses and includes two of Sweden’s largest lakes, Lake Mälaren and Lake Smedjebacken Sala Uppsala Ljusnarsberg Fagersta Hjälmaren. Agricultural land dominates the near surroundings of lake Mälaren while Norrtälje Skinnskatteberg the north-west is to a large extent dominated by forest. The eastern part of the Hällefors Surahammar Knivsta Enköping Sigtuna region is heavily influenced by the city of Stockholm and its extended metropolitan Lindesberg Västeras Habo Vallentuna Hallstahammar Upplands-Väsby Köping Nora Upplands-Bro Täby area.

The waters in Norrström Salem Stockholm Huddinge Lekeberg Nykvarn Degerfors Botkyrka provide several important ecosystem services.

If the scientific community wants to play an active part in the translation of resilience to practice, now is the time to do it. SEEN will engage in this translation by studying one of the methods for how to operationalize resilience, the Resilience Assessment Workbook (Resilience Alliance 2010), and explore what it contributes to local and regional planning within the Norrström region in Sweden. Participatory Resilience Assessments will be carried out in local municipalities and on a regional scale. This research will strengthen the dialogue between research and practice through the resilience assessment processes themselves, as well as by creating a network of scientists and practitioners for resilience in planning. Programme on Ecosystem Change and Society The Program on Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) is an initiative jointly sponsored by ICSU and UNESCO, and coordinated by the Stockholm Resilience Centre. It aims to integrate research on the stewardship of social–ecological systems, the services they generate, and the relationships among natural capital, human wellbeing, livelihoods, inequality and poverty. The principal approach of PECS research is comparisons of place-based, long-term social-ecological case studies. PECS is also developing and facilitating a set of dynamic, interdisciplinary working groups that focus on different cross-cutting topics. Visit the website at www.pecs-science.org.
