Theconcept ofresilience hasrecently been gaining ground as a tool for understanding thelandscape.Although itwas already used in antiquity,theconceptin itsmodern sense derivesfromphysics,whereit designates a characteristic ofthematerialthatisreturned to its original position after a fault. Thetermwasfirst used in biology in theseventies of the pastcentury, and then it slowly moved to othersciences. It has been established in geography over the last decade, especially in the field of economic geography, and recently in the field of natural hazards. In this paper we present different natural- and social-geographic indicators to measureresilience of natural hazards and from derived indices that can help us better understand geographical environment.

A set of cyclical aerial photogrammetric measurements of Slovenia (CAS) taken over the course of many years is available. Among other things, their use in geography has been connected with exploring changes in land use, studying environmental degradation, and determining specific physical geographical changes in the landscape, such as changes in glaciers and river beds. This article presents the usefulness of CAS for monitoring the intensity of slope processes. CAS stereo images were used to measure the size of two rockfalls: one at Čedca Falls in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and one on theslopes of Mt. Glava below Mt. Triglav. Also studied were terrain changes on the Birški plaz talus below Mt. Veliki Vrh on the Košuta Ridge in the Karavanks, and in the torrent valley of Suhelj Creek in the Upper Sava Valley.
