“…La literatura distingue tres tipos de resiliencia (Martin, 2012;Martin y Sunley, 2015;Knight-Lenihan, 2017): resiliencia de ingeniería, resiliencia ecológica y resiliencia adaptativa. Por un lado, la resiliencia de ingeniería hace referencia a la habilidad de un sistema para volver a su punto de equilibrio inicial (en el primer caso, conocido también como efecto rebote) tras un shock inicial.…”

En las décadas La crisis financiera y económica de 2008 y la actual crisis sanitaria y económica relacionada con el Covid-19 han convertido a la resiliencia en un concepto cada vez más presente en análisis económicos y en propuestas de política económica. En este trabajo el objetivo es aplicar el concepto de resiliencia al análisis de la evolución del sector industrial y de servicios avanzados de la Comunidad Valenciana durante la crisis económica iniciada en 2008. El análisis se realiza atendiendo a la localización de estos sectores en los sistemas locales de trabajo que componen la región distinguiendo aquellos que han sido identificados como distritos industriales. De esta forma, se pretende introducir el concepto de resiliencia, entendida ésta como la capacidad de un sistema para hacer frente a las consecuencias de un shock externo. Al mismo tiempo, se plantea si la resiliencia puede ser una nueva y adecuada referencia como objetivo de política industrial. De esta forma, la estimación de la resiliencia permitiría evaluar la eficacia de las medidas diseñadas para mejorar la resistencia antes la aparición de shocks negativos. Se plantea el análisis de los distritos industriales dado que la región valenciana se ha caracterizado por la importancia de estas áreas que cuentan, en su mayoría, con una larga tradición manufacturera. Además, el distrito industrial se configura como un concepto dinámico lo que permite el estudio de la resiliencia durante la última crisis económica iniciada en 2008. Así, se pretende analizar la resiliencia mostrada por los sistemas locales de trabajo valencianos (diferenciando aquellos que son distritos industriales) durante los años de la crisis económica. En este sentido, se plantea la hipótesis de que las ventajas asociadas a las economías de aglomeración y las interrelaciones empresariales en un distrito industrial deberían permitir resistir mejor a los efectos negativos de una crisis o recesión económica; especialmente, en términos de producción (el empleo tarda más en recuperarse). Las conclusiones de este análisis permitirían señalar la idoneidad de la resiliencia como objetivo de política industrial. De esta forma, podrían plantearse medidas cuyo objetivo sea mejorar los niveles de resiliencia de las estructuras productivas antes futuros shocks externos.

“…Resilience is not limited to global policies and international relations, it is a unifying concept for understanding the impact of change on systems and it has been used for examining everything from economic and security research (Rose 2017) to the decline of urban transportation sectors and climate change (Knight-Lenihan 2017). At the microlevel within industrial organization and psychology, it is used widely to understand emotion regulation in the workplace and human behavior outcomes (Kay 2016).…”

Intersections exist regarding how institutions and individuals respond in the wake of mass violence, and we explore one theoretical perspective: resilience—the ability to overcome in the face of adversity. By controlling for the institutional context, we analyze the microlevel impact of testifying on witnesses who testify. New survey data provide information from 300 prosecution, defence, and Chambers witnesses who appeared at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. We test propositions about resilience related to trauma, motivations, contributions to justice, fair treatment, witness fatigue, and human security. Witnesses who experienced greater trauma, who were more highly motivated, who believed they contributed to justice, and who were satisfied with their current situation were more positive about testifying. Those who believed they were treated fairly by prosecution and defence were less negative. The findings add to the debate about the burden of bearing witness in post-conflict societies and why some overcome adverse experiences related to mass violence.

“…Historically, the resilience of an RTN has been defined as its ability to mitigate the effects of a disaster and maintain its own function [11,12]. However, concerns have been raised about the validity of the current approach due to the overlooked temporal aspects of resilient coping and the failure to consider the flexibility of an RTN's functioning, as well as its potential to improve resilience [13,14].According to current theoretical frameworks, the resilience of Current theoretical frameworks posits that the resilience of RTNs is characterized by their ability to withstand and adapt to challenging circumstances over time. "Resistance" means that the RTN can remain resilient even in the face of disturbances, as it has the capacity to counteract the negative effects of these disturbances.…”

The Effectiveness of Improvement Measures in Road Transport Network Resilience: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Achieving improvement in the resilience of road transport networks by ensuring their smooth functioning and prompt recovery in the event of damage is crucial. This study focused on optimal measures and compared the effect of improvement measures on the resilience of road transport networks. A meta-analysis was performed to assess whether and to what degree the resilience of road transport networks was improved with different categories of measures. The articles were divided based on improvement measures, such as infrastructure investment, structure and planning, traffic signal management, and recovery schedule. The methodology of how to define and measure the resilience of road transport networks is considerably diverse, and most definitions are based on basic infrastructure structures. The efficiency of four types of improvement methods was grouped: structure and planning, infrastructure investment, recovery schedule, and traffic signal management. This study supports the use of structure and planning as a promising way for improving the resilience of road transport networks. Increasing comparability in studies and finally developing effective improvement measures in transport planning and decision making require more precise conceptual and methodological standardization in road transport network resilience.
