“…Regional resilience is part of a broader literature on resilience in human geography, which includes urban resilience (Fastenrath et al 2019), social resilience and community resilience (Wilson 2018). More recently, within human geography, economic geographers, in particular, have become interested in regional resilience in tackling the question of why some regional economies manage to renew themselves or to lock themselves out, whereas others are more locked in decline (Martin 2018;Evenhuis 2017;Lazzeroni 2019;Bristow & Healy 2020;Hassink & Gong 2020;Martin & Sunley 2020;Simonen et al 2020).…”

The notion of resilience to analyse how fast systems recover from shocks has been increasingly taken up in economic geography, in which there is a burgeoning literature on regional resilience. Regional resilience is a place‐sensitive, multi‐layered and multi‐scalar, conflict‐ridden and highly contingent process. The nature of shocks is one important impact factor on regional resilience. Arguably, so far, most literature on regional resilience has dealt with the financial crisis in 2008/2009. In this research note, we will analyse both the particular characteristics of the current COVID‐19 crisis, as well as its effects on regional recovery and potential resilience in China, where it started. We conclude that a complex combination of the characteristics of the current COVID‐19 crisis, the institutional experience of dealing with previous pandemic and epidemic crises, government support schemes, as well as regional industrial structures, might potentially affect the recovery and resilience rates of Chinese regions.

“…Engineering resilience emphasizes a system’s ability to bounce back to a pre-recessional equilibrium state, and ecological resilience is defined as the scale of shocks that the system can absorb before its pre-recessional equilibrium state collapses [ 9 , 10 ]. These two notions adopt an equilibrium-based approach in the short term, which is usually criticized by economic geographers, and they have advocated an evolutionary approach to define resilience as a path-dependent process of creative destruction and constant renewal, as well as an open-ended reorientation, recoverability, and reorganization [ 11 , 12 ]. Just as Hassink proposed that resilience is more than a metaphor but less than a theory [ 13 ], it can be best described as a conceptual framework, and some useful conceptual frameworks have been put forward.…”

The notion of resilience has been increasingly adopted in economic geography, concerning how regions resist and recover from all kinds of shocks. Most of the literature on the resilience of coastal areas focuses on biophysical stressors, such as climate change and some environmental factors. In this research, we analyze the regional economic resilience characteristics responding to the Great Financial Crisis in 2008 and its main determinants. We conclude that the coastal areas encountered more recession (or less growth) in the long term, and the secondary industry showed higher resilience than the tertiary industry. The influential factors of regional economic resilience varied across different stages of the crisis, and for the long term, good financial arrangement and governance ability could prompt the regional resilience to the crisis. Finally, some policy implications are proposed which may benefit dealings with major shocks such as economic crises and COVID-19.

“…Natural hazards that exceed the response capacity cause natural disasters and significantly affect social economic development of a region [1]. The resulting impact can be in the form of loss of life and human injury [2,3]. Indonesia is a country that is vulnerable to various natural hazards, namely earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and disease outbreaks [4,5].…”

Vulnerability mapping in urban planning is very important to reduce damage caused and loss of life due to disasters. This paper discussed the mapping of urban physical vulnerability using remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS) approaches. Physical vulnerability parameters used were building density, distribution of public facilities, slope, and land use. Landsat 8 OLI satellite imagery used remote sensing data to obtain building density information using the Normalised Difference Built Index (NDBI) and land use interpretation approaches. With the use of GIS, the spatial distribution of urban vulnerabilities could be known through the overlay of each indicator. The results of the analysis obtained that the physical vulnerability classes of Yogyakarta City were very high (26%), high (29%), moderate (29%), low (16%), and very low (0%). Some areas categorized as vulnerable to very vulnerable are areas with high building density, namely the Sub-districts of Danurejan, Kraton, Gedongtengen, Jetis, Ngampilan, Pakualaman, Mantrijeron, parts of Gondomanan and Tegalrejo.
