“…On the one hand, it is proposed in the wake of threats to the city, and on the other hand, it is proposed under the requirements of urban sustainability, aiming to improve the capacity of system services. Therefore, although there is some heterogeneity in definitions, there are correlations and similarities between them, and they are generally dynamic, malleable, and unbalanced (Li et al 2021 ). However, it is worth noting that the dynamic and fuzzy definition of urban resilience also challenges the transformation of resilience from a theoretical concept into practical urban intervention measures (Brand and Jax 2007 ; Wardekker et al 2020 ), which determines the difficulty of applying resilience into practice to some extent.…”

“…Li et al ( 2020 ) established a SD model to clear the causal feedback and interaction mechanism among various components of urban resilience, and conducted an empirical study in Beijing. Li et al ( 2021 ) developed a SD model of urban resilience that pay more attention to the multidimensional and evolutionary characteristics, which provided a supplement for the quantitative assessment of urban resilience. Mou et al ( 2021 ) used the SD model to explore the internal mechanism of urban development, which promoted the construction of sustainable and resilient city.…”

In the complex context of urbanization and climate change, how to improve the resilience of cities to deal with various uncertain and unpredictable threats is a new topic with both theoretical and practical challenges. In this paper, the researches on urban resilience are summarized using the bibliometric analysis combined with the visualization analysis. We provide a systematic and objective review of resilience applied to urban development focusing on its conceptual frameworks, research tendencies, and assessment methods. The analysis results demonstrate that an increasing attention has been given to urban resilience, especially in the field of climate change. The degree of research varies significantly in different countries, with the USA dominating in the number of publications, followed by the UK and China. Scholars’ attention to urban resilience in different periods is closely related to the development background and disasters experienced by their countries, but there are also some commonalities. Meanwhile, the multi-dimensional research on urban resilience has been recognized by many scholars. Quantitative assessment tools such as simulation model and optimization model have been widely used to assess the level of urban resilience. Based on this, we put forward the future research trends in this field and provide a potential guide for future application of urban resilience.

“…In case of external interferences-under the joint action of internal and external organizations-the CLS will adjust its own structure, form, scale, function, input, and output, and form a system organization in line with the new environment through the reconstruction of the internal elements of its system; find a new development path to resist, absorb, and slow down the damage caused by interference; and continue to maintain the stable operation of the system. Resilience corresponds to transformation, which applies to the ability of any process in the framework of a social-ecological system to improve its own adaptability [3,4]. Therefore, in the face of crisis, the CLS abandons the original equilibrium state and takes the initiative to learn, adapt, and transform-showing resilience in the form of self-recovery and renewal, which can also be interpreted as 'social-ecological system resilience'.…”

“…From the rise of physical resilience, the derivation of ecological resilience, and the sublimation of evolutionary resilience, the resilience theory has gone through a developmental process from the pursuit of a single equilibrium to the exchange of multiple equilibrium states, and finally to the abandonment of equilibrium and an emphasis on cross-scale dynamic interactions. Its connotation has evolved from an initial emphasis on the efficiency and speed of recovery to an emphasis on the ability to adapt and transform [3]. Under the social-ecological system, a resource system constantly adjusts its structure to adapt to external interferences and stimulation, reduce damage, and create new development paths by virtue of its self-regulation ability and external protection power-endowed by social and economic systems-so as to improve its ability of sustainable development, which can be understood as resilience.…”

The study of cultivated land systems from the perspective of resilience is of great significance for the innovation of the research paradigm of cultivated land use and the rational utilization and protection of cultivated land. This study aims to explain the theoretical connotations of cultivated land system resilience (CLSR), construct an evaluation system and zoning rules for CLSR, and take 30 provinces of China as case study areas to explore the influencing factors of CLSR, so as to provide a reliable governance plan for the sustainable development of cultivated land. The results show that: (1) CLSR refers to a sustainable development ability that CLS—by adjusting the structure and scale of internal elements—absorbs and adapts to internal and external disturbances and shocks to the maximum possible extent, abandons the original inapplicable state, creates a new recovery path, achieves a new balance, and avoids system recession. (2) The overall CLSR of the 30 provinces showed an upward trend, and the degree of polarization of the distribution pattern was gradually intensified and experienced a transition process from “leading by resource and ecological resilience—equilibrium of each resilience—leading by production and scale structural resilience”. (3) In the north, east, and south coastal areas of China, CLSR mainly consists of the major evolution areas and the stable development areas; the potential excitation areas of CLSR are mainly concentrated in the central and western regions of China; the CLSR-sensitive lag areas and degraded vulnerable areas are mainly distributed in the northwest and southwest of China. (4) Water resource endowment has a strong influence on CLSR, while social economy mainly influences CLSR through ‘economic foundation-superstructures’ and ‘economic development-factor agglomeration’. (5) According to the different CLSR zones, CLSR was strengthened mainly from the aspects of driving factor agglomeration, building factor free-flow systems, and multi-means support.

“…The academic research on resilience has gone through three stages: physical resilience [7], ecological resilience [8], and evolutionary resilience [9,10], and the connotation has evolved from the initial emphasis on the efficiency and speed of recovery to the ability to adapt and transform [11]. In the evolutionary resilience phase of research, Walker et al (2004) suggested that resilience should not only be seen as a recovery of a system from its initial state, but as the ability of a complex social-ecological system to change, adapt, and transform in response to pressures and constraints [9].…”

Spatio-Temporal Pattern and Influence Mechanism of Rural Human Settlements System Resilience: Case from China

et al. 2022

The study of rural habitat systems from the perspective of resilience is of great significance in revealing the inner laws of the evolution of the rural human settlements system and promoting sustainable rural development. This study aims to explain the theoretical connotation of the rural human settlements system resilience (RHSSR), construct an evaluation system and zoning rules for rural habitat system resilience, and explore the spatial distribution pattern of rural habitat system resilience in China and the factors influencing the differences in the level of rural resilience using 30 Chinese provinces as examples to provide effective governance solutions for sustainable rural development. The results show that: (1) The RHSSR refers to the sustainability of the RHSS; i.e., the ability of a system to absorb and adapt to internal and external disturbances and shocks by adjusting the structure and scale of its internal elements, discarding the original inapplicable state to the greatest extent possible and creating a new recovery path to another new equilibrium state. (2) The overall downward trend of RHSSR in 30 Chinese provinces between 2000 and 2020 is consistent with the fact that a large number of villages have died out in China in recent years. (3) The RHSSR is higher in eastern China than in central and western China; although the regional gap is gradually narrowing. (4) An analysis of the evolutionary trend of the RHSSR shows that the northeastern and eastern regions of China belong to the major evolution area of the RHSSR; most areas in central and western China belong to the degraded vulnerable area of the RHSSR, while the potential recession area of the RHSSR is more scattered, mainly in Beijing, Tianjin, and Inner Mongolia in northern China, Chongqing, Hubei, and Qinghai in central China, and Guangdong and Fujian in the southern China region of Guangdong and Fujian. (5) The results of the analysis of geographical detectors show that the effect of the basic-driven factors in the RHSSR decreases significantly with time, while the effect of the core-driven and externally-driven factors increases, and the effect of the two factors is greater than that of the single factor. Among them, industrial structure (IS) has an important influence on the spatial differentiation of the resilience level of rural human settlements system. (6) Optimization strategies are proposed in terms of spatial planning; industrial integration and public participation for the development of different sub-regions.
