Abstract

Abstract: Resilience has become an emerging research paradigm in safety science for years. In contrast with the traditional risk theory in safety science,resilience emphasizes the full-cycle system performance,including the phases before,during and after disruptions. In this paper, the main results and advances in this domain were reviewed the theoretical structure of and the difficulties in risk study were described, and the motivation and trajectory of the development of the theory were examined. The positions of and relations between the two theories were analyzed,and a comparative study was conducted on the two theories in terms of similarities and differences in research methods. The research trends of the two theories and their joint impact on the safety engineering were predicted.

Key words: system safety, resilience, risk analysis, modeling method, accident prevention
