In the sense that among these units there are factors (of the type of natural factors) that limit the connection between them in some way, and these obstacles form the boundaries of the interconnected fields. Based on the total ecological power index, a significant difference in the resilience of the studied villages has been obtained. The direction of this relationship is also estimated to be positive, which indicates the existence of a direct relationship, so it can be said that with the increase in ecological power, the resilience level also increases.
