Introduction

Therefore, it can be said that social resilience is the capacity of a community or community to cope and adapt to disorders and changes. Social resilience discusses the social characteristics of a society and the discussion of social capital. To achieve a resilient society, social trust is one of its most important pillars. Social trust is one of the important aspects of human relations that is the basis for participation and cooperation between members.
