Aims and Scope

International Journal of Applied Resilience and Sustainability (IJARS) is a double-blind, peer-reviewed, open-access research journal published by Deep Science Publisher. IJARS focuses on advancing applied research to design, understand, and promote resilient and sustainable development. We invite high-quality submissions of cross-cutting, multidisciplinary work with a focus on resilience and sustainability on the following areas:

 

  1. Urban resilience, planning, governance, and sustainable city development;
  2. Renewable and clean energy systems, resilient grids, and demand management;
  3. Air quality monitoring and sustainable indoor and urban environments;
  4. Designing energy-efficient buildings and sustainable communities with low or zero carbon impact;
  5. Climate change response, adaptive strategies, and resilient urban development;
  6. Environmental footprint assessment and sustainability management;
  7. Urban agriculture, forestry, and resilient food systems;
  8. Technological and digital resilience;
  9. Social, psychological, and behavioural resilience in communities;
  10. Public health system resilience, health monitoring, and pandemic preparedness;
  11. Systems for supporting decisions under uncertainty, managing risks, and evaluating trade-offs in resilience;
  12. Safeguarding essential infrastructure, including aspects of cybersecurity, data privacy, and operational reliability;
  13. Economic and industrial resilience;
  14. Strategies for reducing water consumption and improving urban water systems;
  15. Integrated water-energy-food-land nexus solutions for resilient systems;
  16. Sustainable waste management, recycling, and wastewater treatment;
  17. Smart, low-emission, and resilient transportation systems;
  18. Rural, coastal, and riverine resilience and sustainable ecosystem management;
  19. Biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service resilience;
  20. Education, training, and capacity-building for resilience and sustainable development;
  21. Adaptive governance, regulations, and policy frameworks for sustainable and resilient societies;

 

We encourage a broad range of methods and technologies, including monitoring, observational, experimental, and management research work as well as policy analysis. Including both original and applied papers, the IJARS scope also covers review articles of recent developments.
