Bibliometric research on the evolution of resilience theme from the perspective of Geographical Science

“Resilience” is trying to influence regional, city, and village planning, construction, and development. This research analyzes the thematic evolution of regional resilience, urban resilience, and rural resilience in terms of the number of documents published, keywords co-occurrence, clustering, and burst. Regional economic resilience has been identified as one of the key contents of regional resilience research. The main contents of resilient city research are concept definition, construction strategy, resilient city planning, and resilient governance. Rural resilience is considered as a new field of research. Improving rural resilience makes a significant contribution to disaster prevention and reduction, as well as closing the gap between rich and poor. Cross-field linkage research should be done in the future, and research on the mechanism of the resilience process should be strengthened.
