Assessment of socio-economic resilience of Lithuanian municipalities
Assessment of socio-economic resilience of Lithuanian municipalities

Summary/Abstract: In the face of growing ecological, social, and economic crises, it is becoming increasingly important for countries and regions to consider future economic growth or prosperity and assess the potential damage of shocks and strengthen resilience. Most studies examine macroeconomic traits of resilience; hence, resilience manifests itself at the local level and depends on the local community's socio-economic resources and capacities to overcome the challenge. The concept of resilience has been shaped in the discourse of environmental crises, and there is a lack of models and empirical examples examining socio-economic community resilience. The article discusses the concept of community resilience. It presents the results of applying the BRIC (Baseline resilience indicator for communities) method to the socio-economic resilience of Lithuanian municipalities.
