GONCALVES, Carlos. Municipal socioeconomic resilience assessment: methodological proceedings applied to Portugal during the crisis (2008-2013). []. , 108, pp.89-110. ISSN 0430-5027.  https://doi.org/10.18055/Finis11650.

The magnitude and the recurrence of crisis episodes, which were triggered after 2008, demand a new set of references to allow us to analyse the factors and contexts that (un)block the progress of municipal communities. The assessment of socioeconomic resilience implies a thoughtful consideration of spatial, temporal and sectorial interactions, by combining factors that confer persistence to the development trajectories, along with other evolution and transformation precursors. A matrix of 22 indicators, organised in four domains (governance and urban, economic and social structures), was developed through the analysis of 18 models which evaluate territorial resilience. When applying this matrix to Portuguese municipalities, considering there was a pre- and a post-crisis period after the 2008 crisis began, we mapped a country that is vulnerable to crisis and, as a result, loses development potential. The evolution between the pre- and the post-crisis periods shows the strengthening of key central areas and the intensification of the vulnerabilities in the peripheries.
