Abstract

This work intends to discuss the concept of 'resilience', facing it as a set of skills and features inherent to the physical surrounding and human beings, which can be modified, aiming the reduction of vulnerability in context of recovery, recorded in the sequence of disturbances of natural and anthropic systems. Based on the effect of anticipation-reaction-recovery, it will be addressed the genesis of the concept, its terminological appropriation by several sciences, as well as the epistemological derivation, which resulted in a typology of resilience(s) associated to populations and their territories.
