La noción de resiliencia en el análisis de las dinámicas territoriales rurales: una aproximación al concepto mediante un enfoque territorial

Abstract

En el ámbito rural, el concepto de resiliencia se ha venido aplicando desde la perspectiva de los sistemas socioecológicos y el desarrollo sostenible. Sin embargo, este concepto todavía no ha sido ampliamente utilizado en el ámbito rural con enfoque territorial. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo avanzar en la conceptualización de la resiliencia territorial, desde una perspectiva espacial, evolutiva y dinámica. Para ello, se toma como punto de partida la resiliencia de los sistemas socioecológicos y la resiliencia comunitaria, y se analizan dentro del marco interpretativo del concepto de territorio y las dinámicas territoriales rurales.

Diversity, Disparity and Territorial Resilience in the Context of the Economic Crisis: An Analysis of Rural Areas in Southern Spain

“…An operational perspective requires a broader vision in order for territorial resilience to go beyond both concepts and be understood as the capacity of a territory to anticipate, prepare, respond, recover, and adapt to shock. Using this definition, four stages have been identified in the analysis of territorial resilience: (i) anticipation, preparation; (ii) response; (iii) recovery; and (iv) adaptation and long-term learning [74]. As a result, this study is based on a temporal analysis, in which the stages are delimited by the moment at which the shock or impact occurred.…”

Territorial Cohesion in Rural Areas: An Analysis of Determinants in the Post-Economic Crisis Context

“…In order to identify these dimensions, some authors stress the need to first consider the implications of studying the analytical parts of the term 'territory' [52,53]. Accordingly, in the field of disciplines such as human geography or development economics, territory can be understood as a metric topographic space characterized by three elements or subsystems [54][55][56][57][58][59]: (i) Specific territorial resources available to the territory; (ii) territorial actors or agents (the State, civil society and associations, and private actors); and (iii) institutional arrangements that articulate the processes of transformation and development aimed at solving the common or specific problems faced by territories. The relationship established between these three elements is decisive in the processes of territorial convergence (or divergence) and must therefore be considered in cohesion analyses.…”

Olive crops and rural development: Capital, knowledge and tradition

“…According to the ideas of Boschma and Martin () about evolutionary economic geography, and following the tenets established by Schumpeter (), Nelson and Winter () and Hodgson (), the evolution of an economy largely depends on the history of each type of activity and the manner in which institutional conflicts have been previously settled. These theories, however, also posit that there is room for new paths, which may be opened accidentally or deliberately (Martin & Sunley, ), depending on whether unexpected external shocks come into play, putting the resilience of the region to the test (Sánchez‐Zamora, Gallardo‐Cobo, & Ceña Delgado, ), or if all the stakeholders in the production chain in one particular area make the most of new opportunities as they arise.…”
