Abstract
The concept of resilience deeply affects regional planning, development, and post-disaster reconstruction. Recent research advances on the theories and practices of regional resilience are discussed in this article. First, the concepts of resilience and regional resilience are summarized, and the spatial characteristics of the resilient region are analyzed from the standpoints of property, process and capability. Second, the definition, research background, visual angle, basic research framework, guidelines, importance, and future development of regional resilience are evaluated from the following point of views: engineering, economy, ecology, and society. In addition, the predominant methods and technologies are reviewed to evaluate the regional resilience from the perspectives of property, process and capability factors. This is followed by a detailed discussion on the practice of regional resilience in planning and disaster management. Last, but not least, the worldwide main research results, their current deficiencies, and future research directions are presented.
