Abstract
Livelihood resilience is a process of adapting to insecurity and disruption, especially in rural areas. The importance of livelihood resilience in rural areas has been recognized and has been the subject of extensive research in the academic and scientific community over the past decades. The number and variety of studies and the results of each study tend to distract the audience. However, combined studies such as meta-analyses should be performed to summarize and prevent possible weaknesses in future studies. This study was therefore written using a qualitative approach and meta-analytic techniques, with the aim of identifying and classifying the research written in the field of rural livelihood resilience in major index databases. Finally, after retrieving and identifying (18) studies that have directly addressed the subject over the years (1392-1401), understanding their approach and nature, and understanding the structure of temporal studies and place studies. Mainly axes, methodology, variables, methods of data collection and analysis, theoretical perspectives used and results obtained were described. The analysis showed that the research conducted in the area of livelihood resilience in rural settlements can be categorized into (sustainable livelihoods), (natural disasters) and (situational variables). The sustainable livelihoods variable was the most numerous variable measured by researchers regarding various aspects of its relationship to livelihood resilience issues in rural settlements. In other words, from the perspective of the studies examined, sustainable livelihoods indicators and factors contribute more to decreased or increased livelihood resilience in rural settlements than other variables.
