Resilient Communities across Geographies

What makes a community resilient?

How do we ensure its sustainable future?

Learn how to get better answers in map analysis when you use spatial measurements and statistics.

Resiliencethe keen ability to adapt to changing physical environmentsis essential for populations of all sizes and locales in todays world of unexpected changes. Resilience is not only an ideal; it is something that can be achieved through intelligent planning and assessment. With myriad technologies available, how does a community identify which to invest in and utilize for its greater good?

Resilient Communities across Geographies is a collection of case studies examining the application of geographic information systems (GIS)to environmental and socioeconomic challenges for analysis, planning, and, ultimately, more resilient communities. Each chapter discusses a spatially driven approach to challenges in geography, the social sciences, landscape architecture, urban and rural sociology, economics, and other fields. This collection of community resilience efforts includes contexts across urban and rural regions, coastal and mountainous areas, Indigenous lands in the United States and Australia, and more.

The stories shared within Resilient Communities across Geographies help readers develop an expanded sense of the power of spatial thinking and GIS to address the difficult problems we collectively face in various locations and contexts.

Edited by the authors of GIS Research Methods with a foreword by Esri Chief Medical Officer Este Geraghty.
