“…The adaptation of these frameworks requires an in-depth knowledge of climate data and their temporal variations associated with a sound understanding of site conditions (land use, sealing, slopes and soil characteristics). Environmental and the disaster history may offer inputs to a wide periodization that simultaneously considers climate history and the history of institutions in charge for risk management [95,96]. As such, the relationship between urban heritage and urbanization displays a diachronic interpretation in the long-term.…”

The international debate on resilience has grown around the ability of a community to prepare for and adapt to natural disasters, with a growing interest in holistically understanding complex systems. Although the concept of resilience has been investigated from different perspectives, the lack of understanding of its conceptual comprehensive aspects presents strong limitations for spatial planning and for the adoption of policies and programs for its measurement and achievement. In this paper, we refer to “territorial resilience” as an emerging concept capable of aiding the decision-making process of identifying vulnerabilities and improving the transformation of socio-ecological and technological systems (SETSs). Here, we explore the epistemology of resilience, reviewing the origins and the evolution of this term, providing evidence on how this conceptual umbrella is used by different disciplines to tackle problem-solving that arises from disaster management and command-control practices to augment the robustness. Assuming the SETSs paradigm, the seismic and structural engineering, social sciences and history, urban planning and climatology perspectives intersects providing different analytical levels of resilience, including vulnerability and patrimony from a community and cultural perspective. We conclude that territorial resilience surpasses the analytical barriers between different disciplines, providing a useful concept related to complex problem-solving phenomena for land use planning, opening a new research question: how can territorial resilience be measured, acknowledging different units and levels of analysis aiding decision-making in spatial plans and projects? In attempting to understand a resilient system, quantitative and qualitative measurements are crucial to supporting planning decisions.

“…situations (Cha, 2014); social resilience under the protracted stress of crisis (Gal, 2014); the relationship between vulnerability and resilience in disaster response situations when strong local relationships and social networks reduced vulnerability (Usamah et al, 2014). Resilience processes are not limited to an age cohort and are not restricted to crisis management.…”

“…In one such, Professor Reuven Gal accomplishes a profiling task by studying specific variables and their changing metrics for the Israeli population and State before, during, and just after each terrorist attack (crisis event) during the 2000-2003 Al-Aqsa Intifada. 78 Doing so permits Gal to minutely see patterns of community responses, and notice subsystem and system-level resilience commonalities and differences, both within and across the various attacks.…”

As part of a multi-article presentation about national and social resilience to the military practitioner community, the article initially embeds the concept of resilience into a concept of change. From this grounding discussion, the profiling of national/ social resilience is presented as a useful part of building an improved intelligence process of holistic change forecasting. Next, as a better way of seeing and evaluating how different nations and societies will uniquely respond to crises, uniquely recover post-crisis and thereafter change into their future, a way of using resilience change profiling to improve intelligence foresight and forecasting is detailed. Also, an argument is presented that during periods of financial stress, such an approach has efficacy, economy-of-force and other comparative advantage benefits to Western military organizations.
