Abstract
Researching disaster resilience communities involves complex, interdisciplinary efforts. Integrating various disciplines in disaster resilience research remains challenging, particularly in quantifying community resilience and reaching consensus on implementation strategies. Despite the widespread adoption of resilience research methodologies, data and information are often fragmented, impeding effective decision-making processes for enhancing community resilience. To advance the achievement of SDG 11 and implement more robust practical actions, it is essential to critically evaluate the work done thus far and identify the obstacles impeding progress toward the targets. This study critically reviews the current landscape of disaster resilience research, identifying key obstacles and proposing a data-knowledge-driven framework to enhance interdisciplinary integration and inform policy decisions. This framework supports more effective environment decision-making throughout the disaster cycle by consolidating fragmented data and optimizing resilience assessment systems. Through scientometric and critical reviews, we provide insights into resilience research dynamics and offer recommendations for advancing sustainable and resilient communities in the post-SDG era.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Science & Policy promotes communication among government, business and industry, academia, and non-governmental organisations who are instrumental in the solution of environmental problems. It also seeks to advance interdisciplinary research of policy relevance on environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity, environmental pollution and wastes, renewable and non-renewable natural resources, sustainability, and the interactions among these issues. The journal emphasises the linkages between these environmental issues and social and economic issues such as production, transport, consumption, growth, demographic changes, well-being, and health. However, the subject coverage will not be restricted to these issues and the introduction of new dimensions will be encouraged.
