What is resilience?
Many different fields e.g. ecology, psychology, economics,disaster studies, have studied the concept of resilience.
Resilience is a popular term!
…due to the general sense of insecurity anduncertainty afflicting people across the world(Christopherson et al., 2010)

What is resilience?
Spatial Economic Resilience
• is the ability of a region to anticipate, prepare for, respondto and recover from a disturbance (Foster, 2007)
• is the capacity of a regional economy to withstand changeor to retain its core functions despite external upheaval(Davies, 2011)
• is the inherent ability and adaptive response that enablesfirms and regions to avoid maximum potential losses (Roseand Liao, 2005)

How to measure resilience?
The factors that underlie resilience create difficulties in findingthe right indicators for its measurement (Kakderi and Tasopoulou2017)
• The Resilience Capacity Index (RCI) with 12 resiliencefactors (Foster, 2007)
• Rise/decline of employment growth rates (Lagravinese, 2015)
• Regional GDP (Martin, 2012)
• The Resilience Employment index (REI) (Martin, 2012)
• Unemployment increases (Champion and Townsend, 2012)

How to measure resilience?
Modica and Reggiani (2015) categorizes six macro indicator groups ofresilience
1. Socio-economic characteristics and financial resource
2. Institutional capacity
3. Infrastructure
4. Community capacity
5. Innovaiton and technology
6. Natural environment

Resilience and Infrastructure
Infrastructure is an important aspect of resilience since the functions ina spatial economic system are all highly dependent on the infrastructurenetworks (Percoco 2004).
Accessibility may propagate external shocks, but may also beinstrumental in achieving a faster recovery or return to the originalequilibrium (Östh et al., 2018).

Aim of the study
The present study aims to explore economicresilience of Turkish regions by emphasizing therole of increased accessibility/connectivitybetween regions.

transportation infrastructure investment (TL) length of the roads (km)
Infrastructure
As expected, building new road network and/or extension of theexisting ones cause a reduction of the travel times betweenregions.
To capture the impacts of recently built-up roads or extensionthe existing ones on connectivity/accessibility we calculate theannual changes in the real distance between regions.
14
Infrastructure
We use network analysis to calculate the distances in minutes betweenthe regions based on 3 different road categories with different speedlimits each.
We measure the quickest route from each origin region to destinationregion and produce distance matrix by using OD cost matrix analysisextension of network analysis from ArcGIS

Resilient regions require diversity
Questions to answer
• How accessibility/connectivity and resilience are related?
• Can accessibility/connectivity be an instrument for creatingmore resilient regions?
• How resilient and diversity are related?
