Abstract

The article presents basic assumptions defining the resilience of logistic systems aimed at satisfying societies' needs. The author of the article focused on the special importance of system theory for the contemporary understanding of management sciences, with particular emphasis on logistics. The article characterizes, based on the current state of literature, the concept of social logistics as one of three basic types of logistics. The importance of identifying key social needs in order to understand the essence of social logistics was also emphasized. The article contains a proposition of a set of elements that can be a part of the social logistics system, deliberately shaped by the selected subjects, and the characteristics of connections between them. In addition to that, a composition of key factors, increasing the vulnerability of social logistics systems, and a set of measures to strengthen the resilience of the systems was proposed. The second part of the article presents the concept of conducting empirical research in the field of the resilience of social logistics systems, conducted among representatives of secondary schools and higher educational institutions from a highly industrialized region of southern Poland. The article contains the results of pilot studies, carried out on the above-mentioned research sample, which is an important element shaping the course of further research. As part of the pilot studies, both qualitative and quantitative researches were conducted. The research led to the compilation of a set of the most important vulnerability points of social logistics systems and factors that could strengthen their resilience from the point of view of southern Poland society representatives.
