Explaining the Concept of Social Resilience and Analyzing its Measurement Indicators Ezatollah Sam Aram[1] , Samaneh Mansouri[2] Received: 12/6/2017 Accepted: 26/11/2017 Abstract In recent years, especially after the financial crisis of 2008, the dangers and changes in the economic field have affected other areas, such as the political, environmental, and especially social spheres, and have increased the magnitude of the damage and social crisis. On this basis, discussions on social strengthening and resilience have been proposed alongside the other theories and ideas; and they have been met important positions in theoretical and academic principles. In fact, the social resilience debate says that once a social system is able to absorb temporary or permanent risks and can adapt itself to rapidly changing circumstances, it is resilient. This paper, based on documentary method tries to review the valid scientific papers and books, published in recent years, in order to introduce the definitions of social resilience and the indicators for measuring this concept. Awareness of the discussions, experiences and efforts of other countries in this field and also evaluation of them can be useful and effective in policy-making, planning, and even administrative actions. Keywords: Changes and Risks, Resilience, Vulnerability, Resilient Communities, Indicators. [1].
