description | In this paper, we introduce the social dimension of the term resilience which
is different than all the other theoretical disciplines that use this term.
The connection between the concept of resilience and the theory of social
systems is viewed from a critical standpoint, and also with different
ontological perspectives in regard to understanding resilience. The
resilience as it exists in ecological or socio - ecological theories in
social reality is more complex when considering social relations and changes
that have different effects on functionality, adaptability and
transformational capacities of society and its units. In regard to that, the
constructivist approach offers an analytical framework that includes two
tasks. On the one hand, the discovery of the interpretative meaning of social
resilience as a concept, and on the other hand, using the normative neutral
approach as a way of dealing with various social situations that are burdened
with risks, troubles, but also with possibilities. |
