Abstract: (1258 Views)
Resilience, as a new concept, has become one of the most frequent words in sustainability literature in the last decade. As a result of the critical condition caused by the communication breakdown between "man" and "environment" in recent decades and the subsequent challenges of the human environment in the current century, this concept has been expanded and highlighted in various sciences. On account of its frequent use in various disciplines, this term has found its way to Persian literature as "Tab Avari" and then became a common term. However, this concept is proposed to provide a different interpretation of the relationship between man and the environment and offers a new approach to the survival of both sides of this relationship. It draws upon the ability to "resist" rather than the ability to "adapt" and "be compatible." Given that the translation of the term "resilience" seems to be more based on the ability to resist than adaptability, this article seeks to shed light on its meaning by exploring the concept of resilience and then by examining the meaning of the words "resilience" and "measurement". The conceptual consistency of this translation assesses the suitability of the equivalence for the intended meaning. Moreover, the essay attempts to offer a suitable equivalence based on an analysis of the meaning of resilience. The findings of this research indicate that "resilience" is in conflict with the latest developments in the resilience approach, and it seems that the word "adaptability" has more capacity to express its meaning.
