Abstract

The term Resilience has gained increased attention recently in the field of risk and disaster research, but different researchers tend to use it in different ways. For the purpose of better understanding of what this important notion means to the community of disaster researchers we examined definitions of resilience and its applications, particularly in the study on social resilience to the volcanic eruptions in Auckland, New Zealand. Finding this application model insightful and useful, we then carried out a comparative study in Japan. Although the study is yet under way, this paper presents its tentative results. We also developed one scale "Collective Action Coping" in order to examine specifics of social resiliency against disasters in Japan.
