From Spatial Mechanisms to Social Dynamics: Pathways Enhancing Community Resilience in Cultural Land

This project presents the registered protocol and full manuscript for the study “From Spatial Mechanisms to Social Dynamics: Pathways Enhancing Community Resilience in Cultural Landscapes — A Systematic Review.” The review investigates how spatial configurations shape social processes that, in turn, strengthen community resilience within cultural landscapes. Following the PRISMA-ScR framework, the study systematically analyzes peer-reviewed and grey literature published between 2018 and 2025 across Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. It identifies key spatial mechanisms—such as connectivity, layering, redundancy, and place attachment—that underpin social dynamics of cooperation, learning, and adaptation. The work aims to bridge spatial planning, landscape governance, and resilience theory, offering an integrative framework to guide sustainable land-use and community-oriented planning practices.
