“…Consequently, there are multiple definitions and interpretations of resilience that coexist [5,29]. Numerous disciplinary domains have borrowed resilience from its origins in physics and engineering, including medical and health sciences [30,31]; human development including psychology and psychiatry [32,33]; ecology and environmental sciences [34,35]; economics, political and social sciences [36,37]; and risk and disaster management [38,39]. This article is not meant to present a review of numerous contributions that coexist in these different domains.…”

Adaptability, resilience, andsustainability have become buzzwords that refer to notions about the properties of something, and an objective to be achieved and maintained, as well as human intentionality in processes of change. They are notions that were transferred between and beyond academic disciplines in the health and medical sciences, natural and physical sciences, and human and social sciences; and they are currently used in everyday language. How these notions are used regarding ecological hazards, financial risks, health threats, and social perils is influenced by numerous variables including individual and communal human factors. This article rethinks common interpretations of adaptability and resilience in the context of sustainability. It posits that human ecology provides a conceptual framework incorporating the diversity of their meanings and uses in a complex and heterogenous world. The article highlights that many contributions from authors in various disciplines have borrowed concepts and ideas from ecology, biology, and systems analysis but they have discounted the fundamental nature of being human, even when socio-ecological systems are studied. Then, the article explains the ingredients of an anthropo-logic, a core constituent of human ecology, which includes cultural and societal variables while recognizing individual and group differences. These variables can account for the diverse sometimes conflicting ways people perceive, understand, and respond to risks and threats to their lives and habitats. The article applies core principles of human ecology to comprehend contrasting responses to global change (including extreme weather events and repeated flooding in cities) in an increasingly polarized world.

El objetivo de este artículo es objetivar varias variables involucradas en el crecimiento de la resiliencia social. Para ello, se ha realizado una aproximación conceptual del término que incluye la capacidad de una comunidad para, a partir de las dificultades, adaptarse y transformarse. Tras analizar los estudios más relevantes y señalar las dificultades existentes para la realización de modelos, se realizan agrupaciones de relaciones potencialmente desarrolladoras de la resiliencia social. Concluimos con que, mediante un proceso de inteligencia social, es posible guiar el desarrollo de las economías hacia espacios de innovación y transformabilidad que aumenten la resiliencia social.

“…Leveraging social resilience can help accelerate the achievement of dynamic clearances and effective proactive prevention and control measures [ 26 ]. In the context of COVID-19, social resilience is increased through knowledge and social learning activities that provide protection to the population and potentially help community preparedness efforts [ 27 ]. Social resilience plays an important role in neighborhood coordination, and neighborhoods maintain a dynamic pattern of cooperation that accelerates control over COVID-19 [ 28 ].…”

It has been more than two years since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic at the end of 2019. Many scholars have introduced the “resilience” concept into COVID-19 prevention and control to make up for the deficiencies in traditional community governance. This study analyzed the progress in research on social resilience, which is an important component of community resilience, focusing on the current literature on the impact of social resilience on COVID-19, and proposed a generalized dimension to integrated previous relevant literature. Then, VOSviewer was used to visualize and analyze the current progress of research on social resilience. The PRISMA method was used to collate studies on social resilience to the pandemic. The result showed that many current policies are effective in controlling COVID-19, but some key factors, such as vulnerable groups, social assistance, and socioeconomics, affect proper social functioning. Some scholars have proposed effective solutions to improve social resilience, such as establishing an assessment framework, identifying priority inoculation groups, and improving access to technology and cultural communication. Social resilience to COVID-19 can be enhanced by both external interventions and internal regulation. Social resilience requires these two aspects to be coordinated to strengthen community and urban pandemic resilience.
