Dr Justyna TASIC

Justyna joined FRS in 2015 as a PhD researcher in the 'Understanding Interdependencies' Module. Her current position as a research associate involves work on measurement and modelling of social resilience. During her PhD at the Institute of Catastrophe and Risk Management, Nanyang Technological University, Justyna explored the key factors of social resilience, namely social interactions, organisational structures as well as information and communication technology. Her background includes also spatial economy, with an emphasis on regional development. Justyna was formerly an urban statistics specialist at a statistical office in Poland. Furthermore, she was a research assistant at Anton Melik Geographical Institute, Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Slovenia.

Research   

Justyna’s research focuses on resilience in the context of city, organisations, and communities. Her main research areas are social capital, organisational design, complex systems, urban development and governance, and critical infrastructures.

In her research, Justyna applies both qualitative and quantitative methods such as social network analysis, spatial analysis, text analytics, interview, survey and observation.

Her current research focuses on investigating new ways to measure, model and enhance social resilience.
