“…Cities' ideological positions are advanced by the environment, which facilitates their efforts to become more active and incorporate their governance limitations into their own agendas. Taking some initial arguments from an empirical pilot study (Zapata-Barrero, 2023a), this process is configured by the critical interaction of four dimensions, occurring almost simultaneously: time, space, knowledge and resources.…”

“…Most cities today include maintaining their own social and political system in their priority agenda, in terms of continuities and changes, given the enormous pressures and stresses they have to cope with, coming from several, often scattered and unpredictable fronts: border processes; volumes and profiles of new migrants and refugees; urban jurisdiction and regulations; infrastructures of urban agencies; and also the external pressures coming from the geopolitical environment and the behaviour and system of representation of their own citizens, who often find it difficult to absorb all these changes in their own routine urban landscape. Some pilot comparative case studies in very different urban regimes (Zapata‐Barrero, 2023a) show us that there is a rising awareness that doing nothing may increase instability and social division, giving rise to more spatial slums, precariousness, territorial segregation, discrimination and racism, with serious unintended consequences such as xenophobia and social hostility towards migrants (da Silva & Morera, 2014; Preston et al., 2022). Migrants arrive in urban areas (often moving from one city to another in a long migratory journey) under conditions that are largely shaped by both national and international migration policies (Haas et al., 2019).…”

Today, cities are under multiple pressures because they must provide responses to global migration challenges, but have limited governance capacity. This is placing chronic stress on physical infrastructures, basic resources, and urban planning, which most often cities must face alone. There is a rising awareness that doing nothing may increase instability and social conflict, giving rise to more segregation, and racism. Focusing on the crucial tension between what cities might do (sovereignty) and what they can do (constraints), this article seeks first to incorporate ‘urban resilience thinking’ into the current ‘local turn’ literature on migration governance. In order to achieve this theoretical advancement, a fourth‐pronged approach is followed. First, the article proposes that ‘urban resilience’ captures the emerging but dispersed patterns of pro‐active cities, and urges for an analysis of the development of migration governance capacities. Second, a transformative approach to urban migration governance resilience is proposed, and its conceptual consequences explored. Subsequently, the article's focus is on demonstrating the distinctive characteristics of urban resilience when applied to migration governance research, with a particular emphasis on the potential novel contributions that may arise. Finally, in light of the novelties of this research area, the main empirical environments of urban resilience are specified. The concluding remarks close the argumentation by returning to the place of urban resilience thinking within the local turn literature, while also pointing to its normative and methodological potentialities.

“…Various empirical methods have been developed based on resilience concepts or field experiences to evaluate engineering systems. Empirical methods are divided into definite 9,[32][33][34][35][36] and probable [37][38][39][40] sections, each being used for the description of the behavior of static and dynamic systems. In the definite methods, the uncertainties such as the probability of disturbance are not considered.…”

The use of resilience during the mining period by guaranteeing the safety and performance of the systems greatly helps the managers and engineers with their decision-making and designing different systems. During the last two decades, various studies have been conducted in this regard. However, the analysis of underground coal mining systems’ resilience has been rarely addressed by these studies. The present study aims to provide a quantitative index for resilience in the environment of underground coal mining operations based on the risk factors. To do so, in a case study of Tabas Mechanized Coal Mine, the Failure of shearer data and the stoppages caused by it (for 2 years and a half, from March 2017 to June 2019) were studied to analyze the system’s resilience. Then, the experts were surveyed. After collecting and categorizing the data, the data analysis calculations were done for indicators of reliability, maintainability, supportability, organizational resilience, PHM system efficiency, and economic resilience. Finally, a new quantitative index named the “Shearer System Resilience Index” was introduced. The results indicated that resilience is reduced over time. They also shows that in order to improve resilience, project managers should pay more attention to these indicators, especially the indicators of maintainability, and organizational resilience. Therefore, regarding the scope of the data investigated in the current study, the use of Failure of Shearer data-based risk factors and experts’ opinions for the analysis of resilience in the case study is strongly recommended.
