Abstract

This study delves into the intricate concept of ‘resilience,’ a term frequently used yet without a universally agreed-upon definition. Through a systematic methodology, it gathers and examines various definitions from academic sources, aligning them with key identified terms. A significant advancement of this research is the provision of a new, inclusive definition of resilience, distinguishing between ‘core’ and ‘augmentative’ resilience capabilities. This distinction creates a deeper understanding of both the fundamental aspects necessary for resilience and those that further strengthen it. Moving beyond traditional analytical approaches, this research has been externally recognized for its analytical depth. Consequently, the study makes a comprehensive and innovative contribution to the understanding of resilience, culminating in the proposal of a new, inclusive definition.
