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).
