This study delves into community resilience by examining the influences of social capital in a mountain community facing challenges related to landslides and livelihoods. The findings revealed that functioning community groups facilitated collective responses, reducing environmental risks and economic hardships, thus enhancing the community’s resilience potential. The study also stressed the significance of understanding the dynamic nature of capacities, recognizing that their mixed dynamics might not always enhance resilience and could even hinder the process. This understanding is crucial for devising effective policies and programs to build resilience, which is relevant for the ongoing resilience building efforts in Nepal and the broader Hindu Kush Himalaya region.
