Resilience is a multidimensional, Inferable, and expandable concept. Over the past half-century of resilience studies, numerous definitions have been presented in various scientific fields. These definitions, which often overlap and have cognitive gaps, have been described based on a system's performance during hazardous events. The lack of a single, unified definition of resilience indicates the need for a deeper understanding of this concept, including examining the cognitive development process, paying attention to interdisciplinary studies, and attempting to reduce ambiguity surrounding resilience. The increasing focus on the performance of critical infrastructures as systems and their functioning during hazard events highlights the importance of implementing resilience. Moreover, coastal infrastructures have been selected as the vital arteries of a country to meaningfully connect this concept to operational resilience. In this study, an attempt has been made to categorize the definitions by content using the OBSERVATION-ASSERTION-ARGUMENT analytical tool. The cognitive advantage of analyzing resilience definitions is the structural analysis of emerging concepts' development processes. The definition of resilience has been carried out in two key parts, including structural analysis and development process. Additionally, in the coastal resilience section, the role of resilience as an operational requirement has been emphasized, indicating the importance of connecting the strategic and operational aspects of this concept. Besides providing a comprehensive understanding of resilience, the present study's process contributes to reducing content dispersion and cognitive ambiguity of the concept. This achievement is demonstrated through diverse and extensive coverage of resilience's cognitive areas, showcasing the concept's evolution, explaining the reasons for cognitive development, and proposing rules for resilient coastal infrastructure.
