Over the last few decades, the discussion on resilience as an emerging terminology has been frequently found with various viewpoints (Handayani et al., 2019). Resilience discourse is increasingly appearing in many studies, publications, and even academic and practical discussions in different backgrounds. The term resilience is used to describe various issues related to the human dimensions of global change from various perspectives (Spector et al., 2019). Due to its complexity, Davoudi et al. (2012) describe the resilience concept asa multifaceted notion if it is not followed by a suitable context. Furthermore, Meerow et al. (2016) mention that resilience is a term that relates to many aspects depending on the underlying disciplines such as ecology, geography, psychology, or economics, and they even differ from one discipline to another. Resilience can also be interpreted from its entities (Piégay et al., 2020), such as systems, ecosystems, communities, technologies, networks, individuals, populations, and organizations that describe certain conditions of these entities.

As an emerging terminology, Folke et al. (2010)argued that the notion of resilience has emerged as an important concept involving various disciplines in looking at the response to changes in human and ecological systems. Originally, resilience was a concept that focused on the determination of ecological system related to external disturbances (Holling, 1973) and then developed to be a more social context in terms of adaptive capacity (Gunderson and Holling, 2002), community resilience (Adger, 2000), and development resilience (Bousquet, 2014).

Resilience itself comes from the Latin’ resilire,’ which means to rebound, and also from the French ‘résilier,’ whichmeans to retract (Piégay et al., 2020), so it is important to define ‘resilience to whom’ and ‘resilience of what’ (Cutter, 2016).In a more specific context to the community, resilience emphasizes the aspect of community capacity across generations to maintain and increase livelihood opportunities from environmental, social, economic, and political disturbances (Insani et al., 2022; Tanner et al., 2015). From a more comprehensive perspective, resilience highlights capacity at various levels, whether in society, community, or even government (Handayani et al., 2019). The development of research and publications in resilience has fostered its own social and political beliefs, which can become the basis for policymaking and planning (Vogel et al., 2007)
