“…Here, socio-cultural dimensions included values, identities, norms, beliefs and traditions that encourage or constrain actors’ actions, and resulting outcomes (Carrico et al 2019 ). These socio-cultural and structural dimensions of social capital interact dynamically to shape expected and actual access to and control over different resources (Lisnyj and Dickson-Anderson 2018 ).…”

Social capital is considered important for resilience across social levels, including communities, yet insights are scattered across disciplines. This meta-synthesis of 187 studies examines conceptual and empirical understandings of how social capital relates to resilience, identifying implications for community resilience and climate change practice. Different conceptualisations are highlighted, yet also limited focus on underlying dimensions of social capital and proactive types of resilience for engaging with the complex climate change challenge. Empirical insights show that structural and socio-cultural aspects of social capital, multiple other factors and formal actors are all important for shaping the role of social capital for guiding resilience outcomes. Thus, finding ways to work with these different elements is important. Greater attention on how and why outcomes emerge, interactions between factors, approaches of formal actors and different socio-cultural dimensions will advance understandings about how to nurture social capital for resilience in the context of climate change.

“…Limited data and uncertainty of data information are the dual characteristics of local emergency resilience measurements of compound disasters. The systematic attribute of disaster resilience [ 51 ], cross-regional [ 52 ] and cross-sector [ 30 , 53 ] cooperation networks, and the importance of strengthening resilience in mountainous [ 35 , 54 , 55 ] and rural [ 28 , 56 , 57 ] areas provides a theoretical basis for the existence of spatial correlation of local emergency resilience.…”

“…Researchers have conducted extensive research on different areas involved in local resilience, in which community-level [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ] and urban-level [ 14 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ] are the most concerning issues. Community resilience denotes a community’s capacity to lead itself to overcome changes and crises [ 33 ]; related research shows that emergency management at the local scale-municipal government level and community level are interdependent.…”

“…Community resilience denotes a community’s capacity to lead itself to overcome changes and crises [ 33 ]; related research shows that emergency management at the local scale-municipal government level and community level are interdependent. Networks based on social capital [ 28 ] could improve the community’s emergency resilience [ 25 ]; thus, enhancing the community’s resilience to disasters is the primary goal of disaster management [ 26 ]. Disaster preparedness [ 27 ] and preparedness education [ 29 , 32 ] are national priorities [ 29 ], for which the policy is usually implemented by local departments [ 34 , 35 ].…”

The complexity and uncertainty of compound disasters highlight the significance of local emergency resilience. This paper puts forward a framework, including the Projection Pursuit Model based on Real-coded Accelerating Genetic Algorithm and the Moran’s Index (Moran’s I), to measure the local emergency resilience and analyze its spatial distribution. An empirical test is conducted with the case of Hubei Province, China. The results show that: (1) the measurement indices related to infrastructure, material reserves, and resource allocation have a larger weight, while those related to personnel and their practice have a smaller weight. (2) The measurement value of local emergency resilience of sub-provincial regions in Hubei Province is vital in the eastern and weak in the western, and there are apparent east-west segmentation and north-south aggregation characteristics. (3) Although the sub-provincial regions do not show significant spatial correlation, the eastern regions centered on Wuhan are negatively correlated, and the western regions are positively correlated. Furthermore, this study provides theories and methods for local emergency resilience evaluation and spatial correlation exploration, and it has specific guidance recommendations for optimizing local emergency management resource allocation and improving local emergency resilience.

“…Beliefs, norms, customs, and values are the cultural aspects of social capital that are closely associated with the cognitive dimensions of social capital. Since these cultural aspects shape the tendencies and attitudes to create, maintain, and extend the social capital network, the dynamic interaction between social, cultural, and psychological capital may support or restricts the people's actions and contribution to access and exchange resources and achieve expected outcomes (Carrico et al, 2019;Lisnyj and Dickson-Anderson, 2018).…”

Social dimensions of resilience and climate change: a rapid review of theoretical approaches

The social dimensions of resilience and their relationship with social capital have received little attention in climate change research. This article aims to provide an understanding of the structural, cognitive, and human rights-based interconnection of social capital and the social dimension of resilience. This article provides a rapid review of published studies on the social dimensions of resilience in the context of climate change. The search yielded 26 articles, 18 of which were related to the social dimension of resilience and were selected for review. Based on the findings, I elaborate on social capital, social-psychological, and right-based approaches to theorize social capital. The findings indicate a link between social capital and the social dimensions of resilience. The structural foundation for social capital is provided by the interconnection of bonding, bridging, and linking. The social psychological approach is linked to cognitive social capital that contributes to collective psycho-social resilience. The human rightsbased approach educates about the social dimension of resilience through the lens of equity and power. To survive and thrive in environmental threats, communal solidarity requires the social interconnectedness formed by all three forms of social capital integrating social system, social values, reciprocal engagement, and inclusive social actions. This article provides theoretical knowledge about three dimensions of social capital, elaborating on the interconnections and need for theoretical triangulation in climate change studies.
