“…Co-citation analysis is used to analyze the academic structure of urban resilience in previous studies. Fröhlich and Hassink use the page rank indicator to analyze the citation network of regional resilience, and the results manifest that “Urban Ecology and Policies” is the largest community in co-citation network [ 66 ]. Resilience on city-scales is the most important research topic which concerns environmental shocks and hazards, as well as policy about urban or regional governance, as well as resilience on an individual level with a focus on psychology and society.…”

“…Thus, a scientometric analysis is needed to explore the evolution trends of urban resilience because it can systematically review related studies. For instance, Fröhlich and Hassink have used scientometric analysis to tackle the issue of fuzziness and stretching concerning regional resilience [ 66 ]. Song et al use similar method to review emerging trends in global PPP (Public-Private Partnership) research [ 67 ].…”

Numerous studies in urban resilience have been published in the past decade. However, only a few publications have tracked the evolution trends of urban resilience research, the findings of which can serve as a useful guide for scholars to foresee worth-effort research areas and make the best use of precious time and resources. In order to fill the research gap, this study performed a scientometric analysis on the evolution trends of urban resilience research using a versatile software package-CiteSpace. The scientomentric analysis focuses on distribution of lead authors and their institutions, high frequency categories and keywords, high influential journals, author contribution, and evolutionary trends based on co-author analysis, co-word analysis, co-citation analysis and cluster analysis of documents. This study discoveries that first, the U.S., England, Australia, Canada, China and Sweden are the countries that make the most significant contributions in the advancement of urban resilience research; second, the existing urban resilience research focuses primarily on environmental studies, geography and planning development; third, hot topics of the urban resilience research keep shifting from 1993 to 2016; fourth, the knowledge body of urban resilience research consists of five clusters: resilience exploratory analysis, disaster resilience, urban resilience, urban resilience practice, and social-ecological systems; last, the emerging trends in urban resilience research include defining urban resilience, adaptation model, case studies, analytical methods and urban social-ecological systems, resulting in cutting-edge research areas in urban resilience.

“…Considering the huge amount of literature from 1973 to May 2018, we constructed several corpuses to synthesize them. Many of the recent reviews on sustainability and resilience used co-citation analysis and explored the relationship between different scientific communities and domains of research [15,33,34]; however, systematic mapping of conceptual keywords was not yet applied.…”

“…Despite that most of the recent systematic literature reviews on sustainability and resilience used Web of Science as the only source [33][34][35][36], we choose the Scopus database because it is the largest multidisciplinary scientific database of peer-review literature that exists today. Naturally, this database is also far from being perfect [37], but it has been shown that the omitted citation rate is lower in Scopus (about 4%) than in Web of Science (about 6%) [38].…”

Urban Resilience Discourse Analysis: Towards a Multi-Level Approach to Cities

This study aims to understand the current state of research in urban resilience, its relations to urban sustainability and to integrate several distinct approaches into a multi-level perspective of cities comprising micro, meso and macro levels and their interactions. In fact, based on the meta-analysis of nearly 800 papers from Scopus from 1973 to 2018, we show that urban resilience discourses address micro and meso levels, considering shocks of bottom-up origin such as natural disasters. In contrast, the regional resilience approach addresses meso and macro levels (regional and global scales), considering shocks of top-down origin such as world economic crises. We find these approaches complementary and argue that in order to expand the urban resilience theory and overcome its limitations, they should be combined. For that purpose we propose a multi-level perspective that integrates both top-down and bottom-up dynamic processes. We argue that urban resilience is shaped by the synchronicity of adaptive cycles on three levels: micro, meso and macro. To build the multi-level approach of dynamics of adaptive cycles we use the panarchy framework.

“…There is no doubt that there has been a surge in research regarding the concept of regional economic resilience since the recent economic crisis (Fröhlich & Hassink 2018). There has also been an offshoot of this that looks specifically at urban and city resilience (Simmie 2017;Tan & et al 2017;Martin & Gardiner 2019).…”

The determinants of economic resilience in rural regions. An examination of the Portuguese case

This paper examines the factors that contributed to the economic resilience of rural regions in Portugal following the recent crisis. Portugal has for a long time faced the issue of regionalisation. However, rural regions in Portugal are not homogenous. Rural regions in Portugal are very diverse and experience very different economic realities. This paper adds to the growing body of literature on regional resilience by focusing exclusively on rural regions. Using an adaptation of Martin’s (2012) sensitivity index as a measure of resilience and bivariate analysis this paper examines the determinants of resilience in rural regions. In terms of economic structure, the paper interestingly finds that reliance on agriculture was beneficial while innovativeness hindered resilience. As for measures of social capital, the paper presents some contradictory findings. Higher rates of crime had a negative impact on resilience, however higher political participation also had a negative impact.
