Abstract: [Purpose/Significance] From the perspective of information resilience, this article provides a comprehensive overview of the relevant literature on Sustainability Informatics（SI）, and explores how information technology can empower human digital practices. [Design/Methodology] A content analysis was conducted on 77 international academic papers related to SI research in the past five years（2018–2023）to examine their knowledge foundation, research topics, and application scenarios. [Findings/Conclusion] SI is an interdisciplinary research field that encompasses various domains of knowledge, including Library and Information Science, information system, computer science and other disciplines. The research methods in SI include both traditional quantitative and qualitative approaches, as well as action design research that emphasizes practical effect feedback and iteration. The core issues of SI include preserving collective cultural memory, promoting social justice and inclusiveness, improving resource utilization efficiency, and advancing sustainable development. The application scenarios of SI cover specific cases such as digital inheritance of cultural heritage, digital transformation of public cultural service institutions, digital governance of smart cities, and digital actions for global climate change. [Originality/Value] SI research aims to make the information technology practices conform to the development concept of information-resilient society, playing an important role and possessing great potential in achieving sustainable and coordinated development among individuals, information, technology, and socio-cultural dimensions.
