Abstract

Economic disruptions, whether due to financial crises, natural disasters, or pandemics, pose significant challenges to communities worldwide. This article examines the concept of social resilience, defined as the capacity of communities to anticipate, respond to, and recover from economic shocks. By analysing various community strategies, including grassroots initiatives, social networks, and policy frameworks, this study aims to identify best practices that enhance community resilience. The findings highlight the critical role of community cohesion, adaptive capacity, and resource mobilization in fostering resilience, ultimately contributing to sustainable economic recovery.
