The aim of the present study is to investigate the risk of climate change on Istanbul. Istanbul is the largest city, in terms of both population and economic activity capacity, in Turkey meaning that any climate-related risk would be destructive not only for the city but also for the country. The urban system has been identified based on urban sectors that are the issues of activities, management areas, ecological systems, resources and species and critical for economic viability and public health of the city, also likely to be affected by climate-related disasters. 11 urban sectors and 25 sub-sectors, which are also presented as planning areas, have been determined considering the development strategies of Istanbul as water resources, health, energy, agriculture, transportation, development and land use, public safety, infrastructure, biodiversity and ecology, culture and materials. ICLEI's handbook titled "Preparing for Climate Change: A Guidebook for Local, Regional and State Governments" guided the risk assessment of these planning areas and sectors. The data has been obtained via in-depth interviews with city stakeholders and the sectors have been ranked considering the risk factors of each. The results of this study reveal the urban sectors that are under the greatest and lowest risk due to the impacts of climate change. Highlighting the climate change risk on vital sectors of Istanbul is essential for decision makers to develop further strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change and adapt the upcoming impacts. ; C1 [Aygun, A.; Baycan, T.] Istanbul Tech Univ, TR-34437 Istanbul, Turkey. ; [Aygun, A.] Pamukkale Univ, Kinikli Campus, TR-20160 Denizli, Turkey.

The article is devoted to the ways in which the notion of resilience is debated in social sciences and humanities in Russia and abroad. The experience of co-organizing the conference "Junctures of Modernity: Individual and Social Resilience" (ISPN, UrFU, 25-26 March 2016) is taken into consideration. It is argued that the energetic appropriation of the notions of individual, collective and social resilience by the theories of crisis management, urban studies, sociology, and social psychology testifies to the usefulness of this notion for describing how countries, nations, military and other communities exist today. The notion of "scales of resilience" is introduced to systematize the on-going debate.Key words: resilience, concept of resilience, urban studies, crisis management, social science ; В статье рассматривается обсуждение жизнестойкости в российском и зарубежном социально-гуманитарном знании с учетом опыта организации международной междисциплинарной конференции «Стыки модерности: жизнестойкость личности и сообществ», проведенной ИСПН УрФУ 25–26 марта 2016 г. Энергичное использование понятий индивидуальной, коллективной и социальной жизнестойкости в зарубежных теориях кризисного менеджмента, урбанистике, социологии, социальной психологии свидетельствует, что понятие обнаруживает свою нужность для описания жизни стран, наций, военных, этнических и иных сообществ. Введено понятие «шкал жизнестойкости» для систематизации имеющихся позиций.Ключевые слова: жизнестойкость, шкалы, модерность, постмодерность, катастрофы, кризис, менеджмент.
