The article provides a theoretical and methodological substantiation of the concept of public governance of territorial community resilience in the context of contemporary global challenges, including climate change, pandemics, armed conflicts, and socio-economic instability. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of scientific approaches to understanding the category of “resilience,” its interdisciplinary significance, and its role in ensuring the sustainable development of territories. Based on a bibliometric analysis of publications in the Scopus database from 2008 to 2025, a growing research interest in the field of “community resilience” has been identified, driven by the increase in global risks and the urgent need to develop effective response mechanisms.
The article presents a clustering of key concepts used in resilience research, including: risk management, social capital, sustainability, adaptation, disaster resilience, climate change, and governance. The main public governance directions contributing to community resilience are highlighted, such as strategic planning, decentralization, human capital development, social cohesion, digital transformation, and public-private partnerships. The achievements of leading Ukrainian and international researchers are analyzed to support the development of a modern model of public governance for territorial community resilience, capable of ensuring their adaptability, security, and sustainable development in the long term.
