Abstract Repeated flood-related displacement is a cumulative psychosocial process affecting family functioning, social relationships, resource access, and resilience. Although disaster research has examined family coping, social capital, and social vulnerability, these dimensions are often treated separately. This conceptual study synthesizes the literature to develop the Integrated Family–Community Resilience Framework for Repeated Displacement (IFCR-RD), integrating the Double ABC-X Model of Family Stress and Adaptation, Social Capital Theory, and a social vulnerability perspective. The framework proposes that repeated displacement generates accumulated demands managed through family appraisal and coping, while bonding, bridging, and linking social capital provide external resources for adaptation. These processes are conditioned by structural vulnerability and unfold recursively across displacement cycles, producing either adaptive accumulation or cumulative depletion. The framework conceptualizes resilience as psychologically negotiated, socially supported, collectively produced, institutionally mediated, and structurally conditioned, providing a foundation for future empirical research and integrated disaster-resilience interventions.
