This paper deals with the analysis of employment data of the 2008 economic crises. The analyses are done by using entropy measures that can help with predicting regional employment dynamics. Our finding suggests that the Shannon entropy and Tsallis entropy are significant predictor for the size of the employment downturn. The Rényi entropy is also useful predictor of the rate of employment downturn in recession phase. When the Shannon entropy was growing through the recovery phase before the crisis, regions experience a higher rate of employment decrease in the following recession period and high Shannon entropy infer the smaller employment downturn The results indicate the different role of the Tsallis entropy that plays a different role in comparison to Shannon entropy. The higher the Tsallis entropy, the more severally the region was affected. In conclusion, the use of entropic measures as resilience indicators in terms of regional policy is a significant predictor of regional resilience. ; Tento článek se zabývá analýzou údajů o zaměstnanosti v období hospodářské krize 2008. Analýzy jsou prováděny pomocí entropických měr, které mohou pomoci při předpovědi regionální dynamiky zaměstnanosti. Naše zjištění naznačují, že Shannon entropie a Tsallis entropie jsou významným prediktorem pro velikost poklesu zaměstnanosti. Rényi entropie je také užitečným prediktorem míry poklesu zaměstnanosti ve fázi recese. Když Shannon entropie roste ve fázi zotavení před krizí, regiony zaznamenávají vyšší míru poklesu zaměstnanosti v následujícím období recese a vysoká Shannon entropie naznačuje menší pokles zaměstnanosti. Tsallis entropie, která hraje jinou role ve srovnání s entropií Shannon. Čím vyšší je Tsallis entropie, tím více byla oblast postižena. Závěrem lze konstatovat, že využívání entropických měr jako indikátorů odolnosti z hlediska regionální politiky je významným prediktorem regionální odolnosti.

Policy makers in Southeast Asian flood-vulnerable regions are confronted with various institutional challenges when planning for inclusive flood resilience. This paper focuses on the role of international resilience programs and investigates how these programs can enable institutional transformation. The key question is which institutional conditions promote the development and implementation of inclusive flood resilience strategies by international resilience programs. The Mekong Delta Plan in Vietnam (MDP) and the Water as Leverage for Resilient Cities Asia (WaL) program in Semarang, Indonesia, are selected as the cases for a comparative analysis. To structure the comparative analysis of these programs, the Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework is adopted and operationalized for the institutional analysis of inclusive flood resilience planning. The findings illustrate that whereas the MDP was able to involve decision makers from the national government and international financial institutions for mobilizing funding and technical support, the strength of the WaL program was its enabling environment for the cocreation of context-specific flood resilience proposals. Overall, this study concludes that the institutional conditions that enable project financing and the implementation of long-term and integrated flood resilience solutions are determined by engagement with national governments and by ownership of the solutions at both the national and local levels.
