Abstract

ABSTRACT Hazard vulnerability is a characteristic of disaster risks from natural hazards, worsening climate challenges, complex geopolitical governance dynamics, and local development conditions. Comprehensive planning documents often articulate a community’s infrastructure strategies, policies, and capital improvement investments, and are pivotal for sustainable development of cities. This article introduces a new approach for an evidence-based enhanced preparatory technique for comprehensive plans, called Plan I.Q. The framework brings together two recent planning evaluation tools, which use a combination of qualitative assessment and spatial analysis in GIS to develop high-quality integrated plans. The case study presents results from applying the framework during the development of a new comprehensive plan for the City of Rockport in Texas, which incurred heavy damages from Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Results show improvements to plan quality and plan integration across the community’s network of plans, increasing the quantity and quality of infrastructure policies to reduce hazard vulnerabilities.

计划整合和计划质量：结合评估工具，调整当地基础设施的优先事项，以减少灾害脆弱性

摘要灾害脆弱性是自然灾害、日益恶化的气候挑战、复杂的地缘政治治理动态和当地发展条件带来的灾害风险的特征。综合规划文件通常阐明了社区的基础设施战略、政策和资本改善投资，对城市的可持续发展至关重要。本文介绍了一种基于证据的综合规划强化准备技术的新方法，称为规划I.Q。该框架汇集了两种最新的规划评估工具，它们将GIS中的定性评估和空间分析相结合，以制定高质量的综合规划。该案例研究介绍了在为德克萨斯州罗克波特市制定新的综合计划期间应用该框架的结果，该市在2017年遭受了飓风哈维的严重破坏。结果显示，社区计划网络中的计划质量和计划集成有所提高，增加了基础设施政策的数量和质量，以减少危险脆弱性。

期刊介绍： Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the sustainable development of resilient communities. Sustainability is defined in relation to the ability of infrastructure to address the needs of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Resilience is considered in relation to both natural hazards (like earthquakes, tsunami, hurricanes, cyclones, tornado, flooding and drought) and anthropogenic hazards (like human errors and malevolent attacks.) Resilience is taken to depend both on the performance of the built and modified natural environment and on the contextual characteristics of social, economic and political institutions. Sustainability and resilience are considered both for physical and non-physical infrastructure.
