Summary/Abstract: Background: The present article addresses the theories on resilience among the various areas of analysis and research: community, societal and governance. Objectives: As we challenge the third year of the pandemics, the study exposes the theoretical and conceptual approaches to resilience demanding a multisystemic response and participation from all areas of the society: community, society, institutions etc. Methods: Further, the study uses the role of theories during the COVID-19 pandemic by presenting a comprehensive review of how resilience is built through the community and societal mechanisms and processes. We have also employed a quantitative analysis using the search engine provided by the Google Ngram Viewer (Google Ngram) on the digitalised literature prior the COVID-19 pandemic. Results and findings: Additionally, the study provides an in-depth analysis of the theories on resilience as the results emphasize the selected word frequencies of the “resilience” concept and related topics before the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: The research addressed the quantitative and qualitative approaches of content analysis revealing the consequences of the COVID-19 crisis on the theoretical framework of “resilience” and related terms.
