The Application of Resilience Concept in the Regional Development Context

Critical infrastructure and flood resilience: Cascading effects beyond water

“…This is not the only attempt to shorten the broad range of possible resilience components, but we have selected it, since it is more interdisciplinary than those that describe resilience components only for social groups (Edwards, ) or for mental toughness only (Gerber et al, ) for example. Moreover, it is explicitly suitable for integrating the topic of CI and has found wide application in this field (Chang & Shinozuka, ; Matzenberger, ; Palekiene, Simanaviciene, & Bruneckiene, ). However, after working with the 4R components for some years, we have also experienced certain problems in separating some of the components, such as robustness, from other pre‐existing concepts such as damage or vulnerability.…”

Resilient Regions From Sustainable Development Perspective

“…The importance of regions-conceptualized as a unit of social-economic space, characterized by production structure of all ownership forms, population, employment concentration as well as governmental institutions, fundamentally, a social, cultural, political and economic interaction system (Agnew, 2000(Agnew, , 2001Haukkala et al, 1999in Palekiene et al, 2015-ascends in nowadays' economy. Meanwhile regional and local economic development is far from a smooth and incremental process, instead, as Simmie and Martin (2010) notes it is the subject to all sorts of interruptions and disruptions, like periodic economic recessions, the unpredictable rise of major competitors elsewhere, unexpected plant closures, the challenges arising from technological change and like, and the state responses answering these challenges and the degree of decentralization and the adaptive capacity of territories differs to high extent even in the same national economy.…”

“…In recent times due to the ongoing changes in the economy on global scale affects all components of local economies around the World. The various effects of global economic crisis on regional level called the attention to the resilience of regions: why one region is more vulnerable to economic shock than other resulted to analyse resilience notion in regional development context (Palekiene et al, 2015). Originated from environmental and disaster studies the term ‗resilience' describes the capability to adapt and renew under unfavourable conditions; parallel to the growing number of specific extraordinary events and shocks in global economy the importance of phenomena has increased in regional sciences with special interest to regional adaptation.…”

“…Originated from environmental and disaster studies the term ‗resilience' describes the capability to adapt and renew under unfavourable conditions; parallel to the growing number of specific extraordinary events and shocks in global economy the importance of phenomena has increased in regional sciences with special interest to regional adaptation. As Palekiene et al (2015) points out, despite its importance, there is no universally agreed definition of regional resilience, as well as there is yet no theory of regional resilience as such, which might be due to the fact that as there is lack of common understanding in regional science how regions develops, consequently the concept of resilience could not be a uniformed notion neither. Nevertheless, as Christopherson et al (2010) describes -in a special issue of Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society devoted to examining regional resilience-for analysing regional resilience the concepts of…”
