“…Neste contexto, entende-se por resiliência, no âmbito do ambiente construído, como a capacidade deste em se adaptar e transformar positivamente para lidar com as mudanças e impactos sofridos ao longo do tempo (GARCIA; VALE, 2017;PICKETT et al, 2014;MAGUIRE;CARTWRIGHT, 2008).…”

RESUMOA habitação de interesse social no Brasil se encontra dentro de um cenário de escassez de recursos, atendendo de forma precária as amplas e variadas necessidades básicas dos usuários, ocasionando uma negativa noção de bem-estar. Além de demonstrarem pouca resiliência, onde o ambiente construído absorve e responde de maneira mínima aos impactos sofridos, não promovendo uma adaptação positiva dos espaços. Este trabalho apresenta análises preliminares a partir de dados coletados por Avaliação Pós-Ocupação de uma pesquisa de mestrado em andamento no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. Esta, investiga a relevância e a relação da resiliência no ambiente construído em HIS e do bem-estar dos usuários, a partir da ótica do Five Ways to Wellbeing. Tem como objetivo final disponibilizar aos usuários soluções que contribuam para o bem-estar, ampliando a resiliência no ambiente construído em que habitam. Para isso, serão desenvolvidos instrumentos de avaliação e divulgação dos resultados em ambiente computacional. ABSTRACTHousing of social interest in Brazil is within a scenario of scarcity of resources, serving precariously the wide and varied basic needs of users, causing a negative notion of well-being. In addition to showing little resilience, where the built environment absorbs and responds in a minimal way to the impacts suffered, not promoting a positive adaptation of the spaces. This work presents preliminary analyzes based on data collected by Post-Occupational Assessment of a master's degree in progress in the Post-Graduate Program in Architecture and Urbanism of the Federal University of Uberlandia. It investigates the relevance and the relationship of resilience to the environment built on HIS and the well-being of users, from the perspective of Five Ways to Wellbeing. Its ultimate goal is to provide users with solutions that contribute to well-being, increasing resilience in the built environment in which they live. For this, tools for evaluation and dissemination of the results in computational environment will be developed.

“…Too often, from the rank of a supposed technological and cultural superiority, the lesson inherited by millenary tradition of vernacular adaptation with the environment, and its derived multifaceted urbanarchitectural expressions, have been neglected if not irremediably wiped out. In authors' opinion, the heritage and identity of a place and its community reside not only in the historical vestiges of buildings and artefacts, but as a complex of tangible and intangible traces, a sophisticated fabric made of interwoven delicate interactions between culture, consolidated traditions, built environment and social structure (Garcia & Vale, 2017). In that, Al-Ain represents a paradigmatic place where these elements integrated with each other with completeness, representing its intangible resource of resilience, strengthened through heritage.…”

The meaning about the origins of Al-Ain, the second largest city of Abu Dhabi Emirate in the UAE, resides in its name, which in Arabic means 'The spring'. The presence of abundant groundwater has allowed human settlements since the Neolithic period, marking this city as one of the oldest settlements continuously inhabited in the Gulf region. Under the rule of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nayan , Al-Ain received special attention in order to preserve its character and identity, due also to the presence of historical heritage which forms a strong sense of belonging for its community. With the establishment of the UAE in 1971, and the institution of its municipality council in 1992, a special ordinance fixed a strict limit on building height, giving also particular attention to conservation of the original landscape formed by the seven ancient oases of palm trees and their irrigation systems of aflaj, an ancient irrigation system common in most arid zones of the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Mediterranean. Despite all these efforts spent in order to keep its original identity, nowadays this approach appears to be scrutinised under the pressures for further expansion and innovation in response to an increasingly challenging economy. With an increasing acceleration in the process of expansion and renovation, most of Al-Ain's urban fabric, realized after oil discovery in the 1960s, and still belonging to traditional typologies, has been replaced with new constructions inspired by different models, and new large developments have been laid out to cope with the increasing demand for dwellings. After recognition in 2011 of Al-Ain's archaeological sites and oases as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city's popularity rose as a tourist destination and place of cultural interest but has revealed in the meantime its systemic fragility. This paper focuses on the process of urban growth according to the nature of place, which characterized Al-Ain's history and currently forms the substrate of its cultural identity, and the mechanism of conflict/interaction between identity and innovation towards the definition of Al-Ain's urban transformation and regenerative process.

“…Therefore, resilience could be associated not only to physical properties, but virtually extended also to complex systems such as the economy, political institutions, ethics, welfare, health, social structures and, undoubtedly, cities and environment even beyond their physical appearance. Therefore, when the built environment is viewed as the highest and longest lasting achievement of human civilization, and the urban environment viewed as the summation of all tangible and intangible values connected with the progress of mankind, the terms "resilient" and "sustainable" sometimes come hand in hand, as if they would be interchangeable, and sometimes face discordant opposition (Garcia & Vale, 2017).…”

“…Also, in this case, there exists a multiplicity of approaches in between "having resilience" and "being resilient". In the former, resilience is measured regarding the reaction of a system and its capability to recover as fast as possible to return to its normal condition, concentrating on the threat or hazard the system has to mitigate; the latter considers there to be a possible strategy in order to increase the robustness of a system and, consequently, its adaptive capacity to increase or to transform its potential (Garcia & Vale, 2017). The five articles presented in this Issue examine the multifaceted aspect of resilience from different perspectives, including the management of emergency measures and risk assessment, community response to stresses induced by social and economic factors, and adaptability of urban communities, each analyzing the multiform nature of this term once associated with the urban environment.…”
