Authors:
Using an ethnographic approach, this book shows the importance of social perceptions, the role of culture -- whether it be ethnical or organizational, and the professional interpretations of urban and social vulnerabilities, public resilience, and safety and security from various points of view
Takes readers on a journey through the traces and signs of the other side of resilience, showing the importance of change and considering resilience as a social competence that can influence communicative and operative practices in cases of crisis or disaster
Presents two compelling theoretical and methodological models to enhance public resilience related to public health and its assessment of terrorism threats, and to better understand the role of intercultural and crosscultural resilience among migrants and experts within a risk context
