“…Conversely, according to the approach to the social-economic resilience, attention is focused on social systems and resilience is measured as the capability of communities to recover a good life quality level. These methods are mainly proposed in social sciences community [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41].…”

Abstract:The concept of resilience is used in multiple scientific contexts, being understood according to several different perspectives. Essentially, resilience identifies the capability to recover, absorb shocks, and restore equilibrium after a perturbation. Recently, resilience is triggering increasing interest in engineering contexts, referring to communities and urban networked systems, as the capability to recover from natural disasters. The approach to the engineering resilience dates back to the early 1980s, when Timmerman defined resilience as "the ability of human communities to withstand external shocks or perturbations to their infrastructure and to recover from such perturbations". In this paper, a literature review of the existing methodologies to quantify urban resilience is presented according to a civil engineering perspective. Different approaches, for diverse applications, are examined and discussed. A particular focus is done on the studies from Cavallaro et al. and Bozza et al., approaching disaster resilience of urban environments to natural hazards according to the complex networks theory.

“…Most of the works refer to resilience as the ability of any system to recover from an external shock or to absorb against downturns (Briguglio, Cordina, Farrugia, & Vella, 2006;Brock, Maler, & Perrings, 2002;Rose & Krausmann, 2013). Thereby, resilience includes the ability to deal with external factors and reduce vulnerability, and one of its main tasks is to minimize losses and as a result to ensure the economic recovery in the shortest term.…”

Economies have always been prone to different kinds of exogenous shocks, which can destabilize the path and pattern of regional economic growth. Regional economy perturbed by a shock may move onto a new growth path by re-establishing economic linkages, both internally and with other regions. The question why one region is more vulnerable to economic shock than other, impelled to analyze notion of resilience in a regional development context. Despite own limitations of quantitative methods, several approaches in the form of composite indices (CIs) have been proposed by the European Union (EU) and the other institutions. The aim of this paper is to throw light on some of the underlying aspects of regional resilience and provide an overview of a notion as well as analysis of research studies on constructing the territorial CIs. The main results of the paper are overview and comparison of regional resilience literature and empirics of existing CIs that lead to measuring the EU NUTS-2 regions resilience based on constructing own index. CIs construction includes several steps that have to be made and corresponding methods have to be chosen. Primarily, selection of sub-indicators, normalizing methods, weighting schemes and aggregation formulas are fundamental. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…From a social and economic point of view, resilience is defined as the ability of social systems to minimize welfare losses after a perturbation (Hallegate 2014). Socioeconomic resilience was described by two components analogous to H-and P-resilience (Rose 2004, 2007, Rose and Krausmann 2013: (1) Static socioeconomic resilience (S-resilience; Rose 2004) was defined as the ability of a system to maintain its functions (providing food, cultural value, employment, trade, profits, recreational use) when shocked, using the remaining resources as efficiently as possible during the course of recovery. S-resilience was considered high if the key indicators described above (e.g., output levels, employment, profits, cultural value) are fully preserved, medium if partially preserved, and low if the socioeconomic system is poorly preserved.…”

ABSTRACT. In many parts of the world, both wild and cultured populations of bivalves have been struck by mass mortality episodes because of climatic and anthropogenic stressors whose causes and consequences are not always clearly understood. Such outbreaks have resulted in a range of responses from the social (fishers or farmers) and governing systems. We analyzed six commercial bivalve industries affected by mass mortalities using I-ADApT, a decision support framework to assess the impacts and consequences of these perturbations on the natural, social, and governing systems, and the consequent responses of stakeholders to these events. We propose a multidimensional resilience framework to assess resilience along the natural, social, and governing axes and to compare adaptive responses and their likelihood of success. The social capital and governability of the local communities were key factors affecting the communities' resilience and adaptation to environmental changes, but the rapid degradation of natural ecosystems puts the bivalve industry under a growing threat. Bivalve mariculture and fishing industries are likely to experience increased frequency, severity, and prevalence of such mass mortality events if the resilience of the natural systems is not improved. An understanding of previous adaptation processes can inform strategies for building adaptive capacity to future events.
