Kyle Martens, a doctoral student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is conducting a survey to measure resilience in Nebraska’s Sandhills region. The survey aims to explore the connection between perceptions of resilience and external forces impacting agriculture and natural resources in the area. Martens’ research has been influenced by his interactions with ranchers and his interest in the changes affecting rural communities.
The Sandhills Resilience Survey will gather participants’ views on natural resources, the economy, and community resilience to address current and future challenges in the region. Martens believes that studying resilience can help communities navigate change and develop stronger networks for the future.
The survey will measure the connectedness of community services, employment, local government, and natural resources, providing valuable information for strategic planning efforts. Martens highlights the importance of resilience research in various sectors beyond agriculture, such as engineering, healthcare, and economics. By studying resilience, communities can build networks and resources to adapt and thrive in the face of change.
