1. Balancing ecological and social needs: Ensuring that ecological and social needs are met in a balanced manner can be challenging. The design must consider the impact of any changes on the environment and the community.
2. Lack of community engagement: Collaboration with the community is crucial in designing for social resilience. However, it is sometimes a challenge to engage with the community and receive feedback.
3. Inequitable distribution of resources: Some communities may lack access to basic resources such as water and food. In designing for social resilience, it is important to ensure that resources are distributed equitably.
4. Budget constraints: Designing for social resilience may sometimes require additional resources, which may be limited by budget constraints.
5. Maintenance: Designing for social resilience may involve the creation of new features or structures that require maintenance. It is important to consider the long-term maintenance costs for the project.
6. Political challenges: Municipalities and other governing bodies may have different priorities and values that conflict with the goals of designing for social resilience.
7. Climate change: Climate change poses a significant challenge to designing for social resilience. Designing for environmental sustainability is important in order to create resilient landscapes that can withstand and adapt to the effects of climate change.
