Pannier Emmanuel auteur aut IRD Thi Kim Tâm P. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf reformatted digital access Drawing on an ethnographic study of housing adaptations following a historic flood in Vietnam's northern uplands, this paper examines the role of social networks in resilience. Numerous studies limit the analysis to formal groups and neglect the exploration of the web of personal relationships. Furthermore, the comparative role of social networks relative to, but also in combination with, other channels of resource circulation is seldom investigated. This paper documents and compares the various channels through which resources flow, examines their interactions, and characterizes the patterns of circulation. While state and market resources are crucial, they alone are insufficient. Social networks and indebtedness emerge as pivotal components of resilience to environmental hazards. However, they do not ensure long-term recovery for all individuals, as they may lead to over-indebtedness and dependency. Moreover, the uneven distribution of social capital contributes to disparities in adaptive capacity. specialized VIET NAM 106ANTHRO1 062EVAEAU 124COMMUN 094CONSO 021ENVECO 257 69-104 2025 2554-3415 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010095097 10.4000/13r3z 2554-3415 [F B010095097] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010095097 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2025-10/010095097.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2025-09-25 2025-11-04 fdi:010095097 fre
