Abstract
Spatial resilience is an emerging concept that examines the impacts of spatial diversity, connectivity, and dispersion on social-ecological systems. This concept aids in identifying contemporary challenges such as climate change, urbanization, and biodiversity loss, playing a crucial role in the analysis and research related to the adaptability and resilience of these systems. Spatial resilience reveals how the physical and ecological characteristics of an area can either enhance or weaken the capacity of systems to withstand disturbances. In this study, the relationship between biodiversity, spatial distribution, and spatial connections in the context of spatial resilience is examined. It emphasizes that effective connections can enhance resilience, while ineffective connections may exacerbate vulnerabilities. The main objective is to provide a comprehensive overview of spatial resilience and its applications in urban planning, environmental protection, and natural resource management. Consequently, various successful project examples are analyzed to demonstrate how effective design and management can lead to the creation of resilient and sustainable systems. Ultimately, this research underscores the importance of considering spatial dimensions in resilience-related studies, presenting it as a key tool in addressing the complex challenges of today's world. Further research in this area could enhance strategies and empower communities to adapt to future crises.
