Abstract
The chapter deals with the issue of resilience from a socio-territorial point of view. It proposes an analytical reading of the socio-ecological crisis, highlighting the interdependencies between the environmental, migration and welfare sustainability issues. The way in which these interdependencies take shape and impact on the different territorial systems, requires looking at policies for resilience by integrating environmental and social issues and following a place-based approach. For this reason, the analytical model is contextualized in full territories (urban areas) and empty territories (peripheral rural areas). It is a schematic way of looking at territorial diversity and inequalities, which however allows the identification of different policy indications to build more resilient socio-territorial systems. They inevitably have to be integrated into the action of the policies. It is precisely by working towards a new sustainable interdependence between full and empty territories, that it is possible to achieve more sustainable social and economic structures.

Notes
- 1.
Cersosimo, Ferrara and Nisticò worked on the contrast between full and empty spaces, measuring the density of local societies starting from four groups of indicators: physical density; demographic robustness; economic strength and density of social relationships (2018).
- 2.
According to Martínez-Alier (2004), ecological debt is the debt accumulated by the countries of the North towards the countries of the South in two ways: in the first place, the export of primary products at very low prices; in the second place, the free or very cheap occupation of environmental space—the atmosphere, the water, the land—through the dumping of production wastes.
- 3.
There are some pioneering works on the relationship between the two forms of debt, but it is a fruitful theme on which a strand of literature is developing (Boly et al. 2019).
- 4.
For further information on the construction of the indicator and for statistical data on Italian inner areas, see Barca et al. (2018).
