TLDR
The authors define resilience as a set of behaviors over time that depend on the opportunities that are available and accessible to individuals, their families, and communities. But they do not define what people mean when they say "do well when facing adversity".Abstract:
The chapter begins with a detailed expression of resilience that defines it as a set of behaviors over time that depends on the opportunities that are available and accessible to individuals, their families, and communities. Building on the research of other scholars and the Resilience Research Centre (Dalhousie University), the author shows the importance of understanding resilience as a contextually and culturally embedded construct and the need to capture what people mean when they say “doing well when facing adversity.”read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use household interviews and surveys to build and test a substantive model that illustrates how social cohesion influences the decision to prepare for wildfire and demonstrate that social cohesion, particularly community characteristics like "sense of community" and "collective problem solving", are community-based resources that support both the adoption of mechanical preparations, and the development of cognitive abilities and capacities that reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience to wildfire.
