Moniresilienttien

Moniresilienttien is a concept used in resilience studies to describe the capacity of interconnected systems to maintain or quickly restore essential functions when faced with multiple disturbances that affect several subsystems or domains.

Etymology: The term combines moni- (many), resilientti (resilient), and the plural genitive -ien, producing 'moniresilienttien' as the plural form.

Concept and scope: It foregrounds cross-domain resilience, multi-hazard risk management, and systemic risk. It emphasizes maintaining function under combined stresses such as physical damage, digital disruption, and social shocks. It distinguishes from single-domain resilience by focusing on interactions and cascading effects across subsystems and sectors.

Framework: Core principles include redundancy, modularity, diversity of components, adaptive governance, and continuous learning. Methods include cross-sector scenario planning, stress testing, risk aggregation, and real-time monitoring.

Applications: The concept is used in urban planning, critical infrastructure, supply chains, healthcare, and climate adaptation to design systems that can absorb shocks and recover quickly.

Evaluation: Performance metrics may cover continuity of essential services, time to recovery, degradation of function under stress, and socio-economic resilience dividends.

Limitations: Challenges include measuring cross-domain resilience, data integration, coordinating across jurisdictions, and balancing efficiency with resilience.
