description This study was aimed at evaluating the concept of resilience to rural areas in the new regional development paradigms. Rural resilience supported by evolutionary economic geography is considered the method developed against the negativity and practices emanating in the past that mired rural areas. The primary goal of this study, according to this framework, is to investigate the new significance that has been accorded to rural regions because of the paradigm shift. Furthermore, the study’s major goal has been determined to be to offer assessments on sample areas on how the development dynamics in favor of cities can find resonance in rural areas. The factors affecting resilience are determined according to economic, ecological, and cultural contexts, and the role of rural areas in the settlement systems in the case of Beyşehir are re-discussed. The findings of the study, which employed qualitative analytical methodologies, are expected to provide guidance for future studies on how the challenges highlighted within the framework of the idea of rural resilience will disclose a value chain in terms of rural settlements. Because rural resilience is defined as a rural area’s ability to adjust to external situations based on changing living standards, it is more than just the ability to adopt change. Finally, with elements such as local skills and path dependences, it is now possible to prevent the decline of the Beyşehir rural areas.
