报告摘要:

The concept of resilience is increasingly employed across a diverse range of disciplines and has gained critical importance to researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers concerned with dynamic social, environmental, and economic systems. The concept resonates with the ability of a system to be robust and to recover following a shock or disturbance. The literature surrounding the concept of resilience is highly scattered and contains numerous semantic, theoretical, and qualitative treatments in disciplines ranging from psychology, engineering, sociology, and disaster management. These treatments have increasingly heightened the need for empirical advancements of the concept beyond qualitative, theoretical, and index-based definitions and towards quantitative and systems-level measurements. This talk provides an overview of the concept of resilience and specifically its recent empirical advancements. The first part of the talk examines common conceptual underpinnings and misconceptions to the concept of resilience. In the second part, common empirical approaches and models of resilience will be reviewed. Finally, in the third part of the talk, future research avenues relevant to the resilience of natural-social systems will be discussed.
