Regional resilience is an important component in looking at the socioeconomic conditions of an area against disturbances that occur from inside and from outside. Resilience refers to change, adaptation, and transformation as a form of responding to shocks/ stresses in a system. This research study on resilience was conducted in an area underprocess of city-rural transition process, Mekarwangi Village, Lembang District which is closely related to the transformation of the regional structure indicated by high land conversion. Transformation resilience puts forward the potential and opportunities possessed by the system to be able to accelerate to form a new system. This research was built through the concept of socio ecological resilience (SER) which includes the concept of a panarchy system, socio ecological production landscape (SEPL), and adaptive co-management. The results of the analysis show that the transformation process phase is influenced by external factors involving various actors (upper level) and internal factors of the social system in it (lower level). In order to see the resilience of the region's current conditions, looking at the history of the passage of time is a point of concern to determine the resilience capacity that is formed. Resilience capacity at each time period becomes the basis for responding to shocks/pressures in order to achieve a resilient condition. The regional resilience capacity that is formed through the transformation phase is also seen for its implications for current conditions with the SEPL approach and adaptive capacity. SEPL emphasizes resilience capacity focus on agriculture, while adaptive capacity looks at resilience as a whole system. The resilience capacity shows that the SEPL component that needs to be improved is the “ecosystem protection and biodiversity maintenance” component, while the adaptive capacity component is the economy and natural resources. In response to the resilience conditions that have not been achieved in the study area, especially for the development of rural-urban village resilience, strategies/ recommendations is formulated with an adaptive co-management approach that emphasizes crossscale actor networks in order to build regional resilience.
