Abstract
ABSTRACT The promotion of community resilience is a multifaceted process that warrants further exploration. This article aims to contribute to this literature stream by assessing the role of citizen science (CS) approaches in the development of community resilience, since CS is considered a promising approach for generating new knowledge by fostering the participation of citizens (non-professional scientists) in research activities. The results show that CS approaches can contribute to community resilience at the institutional level, improving emergency and recovery planning capacity; at the infrastructural level, by contributing to land use planning and urban design; and at the social level, through the creation of community ties and social capital. This contribution is relevant for the development of public policies that are more shaped to local contexts and aligned with communities’ needs and expectations.
