Abstrakt: The concept of nomadism or nomadic society, aside from its philosophical aspects, represents a human network in which adaptive, capital, and disciplinary processes and actions give rise to powers that are different from sedentary societies. These capabilities have provided an opportunity to reevaluate the concept of social resilience based on migration. In light of social crises and inequalities over many years, social resilience models are being reinterpreted for effectiveness. This research aims to create a model for social resilience in nomadism by comparing rhizomatic and Eastern approaches. In this research, we used the Grounded Theory Method to interpret a model by triple coding 42 events into 28 concepts, 8 sub-categories, and 3 main categories. We also employed the meta-synthesis technique to screen sources, examining related texts from a reliable database between 1990 and 2021 in five steps. The concept of social resilience, as understood through the lens of nomadism, encompasses three main components that can be viewed in terms of adaptability and practicality. The first component is "adaptation," which depends on social, cultural, economic, and environmental activism. The second component, "social capital," is not about luxury or appearance, but rather about internal knowledge, innovation, and willingness to take risks. The third component of the proposed model is "governance," which is associated with factors such as institutional capacity building or participation. This indicates a type of governance that involves taking action rather than simply existing. Original social concepts such as nomadism have deep semantic significance and complexity, which can be linked to contemporary social models like resilience. By deeply considering fluid concepts like migration and incorporating the perspectives of different experts, it is possible to gain a modern understanding of social models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
