Abstract

In recent years, the frequency of natural disasters has been on the rise, leading to significant societal concerns due to the resulting serious damages. Against this backdrop, minimizing the impact and swiftly implementing regionally appropriate recovery measures have become crucial challenges in building a sustainable society. In this context, the concept of “resilience” has garnered significant attention and holds a prominent position within disaster research. This paper reviews a selection of literature from 1973 to 2023, focusing on the concept of ‘resilience’ in disaster research both in Japan and internationally. It emphasizes the application of resilience in social practice and its challenges. The paper explores the evolution of the concept of resilience in disaster research, and its interaction with related concepts such as vulnerability and social capital. Furthermore, it examines the application of the concept of resilience in social practice and the future challenges associated with it.
