This study aims to analyze some of the existing implications between urban anthropology and Anthropocene urban socio-ecology planning resilience. Beginning from the assumption that urban anthropology gives support to create and develop any urban planning based on the Anthropocene urban socio-ecology resilience, the methods employed are the analytical-descriptive based on an ethnographic interpretation and reflection of the theoretical and empirical literature review. The analysis concludes that urban anthropology fundamentals give support to strengthen the Anthropocene orientation of the urban socioecological planning resilience.
TopIntroduction
The term resilience was introduced by Holling (1973) in the field of socioecological research to describe the capacity of the socioecosystem to return to its original form after being deformed by the impact of external pressures from the external environment, in other words defined as the capacity to absorb shocks and perturbations of social-ecological systems and show their adaptability and transformation capacity often related to a natural hazard and climate change (Land, 2019). Resilience influences urban planning and innovation, urban infrastructure construction and development leading to urban and regional economic resilience as one of the contents of resilience research in urban planning and governance. Improving urban socio-ecological resilience contributes to disaster prevention, management and reduction, which strengthens urban resilience processes (Yang, Lili & Hongchi, 2022). Resilience in anthropology has been used to explain different types of socio-environmental phenomena: generalist or specialized resource socio-environmental phenomena: generalist or specialized strategies in the attainment of resources; uncertainty and surprise in the management of resources; adaptive capacity and degree of centralization in the use and management of resources and degree of centralization in the use and management of resources (Escalera & Ruiz, 2011). Some approaches to urban anthropology do not consider it a science and there are those who prefer theories, particular or universal, and those who choose to interpret rather than explain.
Second, the term urban anthropology is a scientific discipline epistemologically closely linked and interrelated with other scientific theories. Anthropology, like any social science, predicts diverse phenomena (Alvarez, 2016; Brady, 2019; Grimmer et al., 2021; Hindman, 2015; Hofman et al., 2017; Hofman et al., 2021). The scientific status of anthropology goes beyond the conception of a soft, interpretive, humanistic phenomenon to interpret meanings to use quantitative techniques, apply formal methods in experimental designs to postulate scientific theories predicting phenomena and formulating scientific laws linked and interrelated to other scientific theories. The phenomena of sociology, anthropology and political science differ from individual behavior, according to Bunge (1999), who argues that predicting the behavior of an unknown individual is different from predicting the behavior of a system. However, the social sciences have transferred the prediction of small groups to complex social systems by means of sophisticated computational methods (Bunge, 1999). A scientific law is a logical-mathematical representation of the relationships between variables (Pfeifer, 2006).
Scientific predictions arise from the verification and application of a theory capable of explaining specific phenomena. Research in urban anthropology and socio-ecology resilience in urban planning and green innovation areas using interdisciplinary methodologies is changing peoples' societies relevant to global research more now in the face of the climate change phenomenon the world is facing.
