Abstract

Over the past 40 years there has been widespread and ongoing international interest in reporting the social outcomes of development. A range of approaches have been developed emanating from diverse disciplinary perspectives to serve a varied range of operational purposes. Research reported in this paper builds from a systematic review of literature relating to these diverse disciplinary and/or operational approaches, including for example, literature focusing on reporting of social outcomes relating to 'quality of life', 'community well-being', 'state of the environment', 'national census', 'sustainable communities' and 'social determinants of health'. A set of diverse and representative approaches was then selected for analysis. This analysis provided the foundation for development of a conceptual framework for regional monitoring and reporting of social resilience. Application of this framework to social resilience reporting requirements in the Wet Tropics and Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Areas, North Queensland Australia, is discussed.
