TOWARDS AN INDUCTIVE MODEL OF TERRITORIAL RESILIENCE DYNAMICS

International audience" Resilience " is a physical term, which acquired significance in psychology and then in a wide variety of fields, namely ecology, sociology and economy. This term describes a recovering system where the combination of social, ecological and economical experiencing increases stress as a result of unpredictable change in environment. To illustrate and model this process in a territorial level, we propose to introduce an analogical induction-model to describe both vulnerability situations and associated resilience procedures, based on a well-known late 80's model of socioeconomic crack-up, known as " Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars ". This last, constituted by three passive components as potential energy, kinetic energy, and energy dissipation, assumes that economics are a social extension of a environmental energy system. So we claim that Social and Ecological pillars could be defined as subsystems of a global open inductive sustainability system which considers feedbacks as evolution sources. The resulting complex interaction model we propose will enable social-economical-environmental data to be treated as a histeresic process, reaching sustainable goals at territorial levels
