Abstract: The paper is theoretical in nature and concerns the concept of rural resilience. The paper presents an overview of the state of research on rural resilience. It indicates the complexity of this concept due to the interdependence of ecological, economic and social systems and the conflict of interests. Moreover, the diversity of rural areas on a global scale and the problems of the communities inhabiting them does not allow for universal and comprehensive conceptual arrangements, but directs attention to territoriality and locality and the specific context. The dynamics of changing rural areas in the face of uncertainty and variability of the environment (natural, economic and geopolitical) makes the concept of rural resilience useful not only for survival in difficult, unexpected or expected situations, but also for developing ways of development. Both approaches: system-oriented and social (agent-oriented) and all elements of the resilience concept: robustness, adaptability, transformality have their significance in this process.
