The concept of fire resilience has become increasingly relevant as society looks to understand and respond to recent wildfire events. In particular, the idea of a 'fire resilient landscape' is one which has been utilised to explore how society can coexist with wildfires. However, the concept of fire resilient landscapes has often been approached in silos, either from an environmental or social perspective; no integrated definition exists. Based on a synthesis of literature and a survey of scientists and practitioners, we propose to define a fire resilient landscape as 'a socio-ecological system that accepts the presence of fire, whilst preventing significant losses through landscape management, community engagement and effective recovery.' This common definition could help guide policy surrounding fire resilient landscapes, and exemplify how such landscapes could be initiated in practice. We explore the applicability of the proposed definition in both Mediterranean and temperate Europe.
随着社会努力理解和应对最近的野火事件，火灾恢复力的概念变得越来越重要。特别是，“具有火灾恢复力的景观”这一概念已经被用来探索社会如何与野火共存。然而，火灾恢复力景观的概念通常是孤立地从环境或社会角度来探讨的；没有综合的定义。基于文献综述和对科学家和从业者的调查，我们提出将具有火灾恢复力的景观定义为“一个接受火灾存在的社会-生态系统，同时通过景观管理、社区参与和有效的恢复来防止重大损失。”这个通用定义可以帮助指导与具有火灾恢复力的景观相关的政策，并举例说明如何在实践中启动此类景观。我们探讨了所提出的定义在欧洲地中海和温带地区的适用性。
