A better understanding of these interdependencies and the dynamic nature of CI functionalities is crucial for advancing disaster resilience assessment within engineering systems. This paper introduces a novel approach using a Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN) to assess resilience in interdependent CI systems. The DBN method enables a probabilistic evaluation of system resilience by incorporating interdependencies and capturing the temporal dynamics of system capacities. This approach offers a more detailed perspective on resilience by modelling system functionality using expected values of different functionality states over time. Using a case study in Sri Lankan electricity, water distribution, and road infrastructure sectors and 34 experts, this study examines the complex network of CIs. It demonstrates the applicability of the proposed methodology. P-values of the Chi-Square test performed between the variation of model-predicted resilience and expert assessments are significantly less than 0.05, confirming the model's validity. Additionally, this study explores the expansion of the methodology for resilience assessment under multiple hazards, emphasizing its real-world effectiveness. The findings highlight the efficacy of the proposed methodology and its potential to assist asset managers, owners, and decision-makers in informed resilience planning and optimization strategies. This comprehensive approach fills critical gaps in existing methodologies, offering a robust framework for assessing CI resilience in a dynamic and systematic nature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13915,"journal":{"name":"International journal of disaster risk reduction","volume":"119 ","pages":"Article 105271"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143520971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study employs a robust identification strategy that integrates earthquake intensity measures with residential data and housing damage information to explore variations in exposure by district at the time of the quake. The methodology facilitates a comparative analysis of the earthquake's effects across cities with varying Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) levels and associated housing damage. Various estimation methods and sensitivity checks are implemented to validate the underlying hypotheses. The negative impact of the BioBío earthquake is evident in both the short term (within months of the event) and the medium term (one year following the earthquake), with high school and college students being the most severely affected, even three to five years after the disaster. However, this effect dissipates by 2017. Furthermore, based on the conducted tests, the detrimental effects of the earthquake and tsunami on educational attendance rates become significant only when PGA and housing damage reach extremely high levels. In contrast, no significant effects are observed at lower levels of either variable.

This study introduces a novel resilience assessment framework based on complex network theory, applied to the Macau Peninsula as a case study. By modeling urban infrastructure as an interconnected network of nodes (buildings) and edges (roads), the framework quantifies resilience through three core capacities: resistance, absorption, and recovery. The analysis integrates scenario-based flood simulations with network metrics to assess system vulnerabilities and identify key determinants of resilience. Results reveal significant weaknesses in Macau's high-density urban areas, particularly under compound flood events combining storm surges and extreme rainfall. Findings underscore the critical role of road network redundancy and shelter accessibility, as areas with lower redundancy experience prolonged recovery times. Model validation confirms the framework's effectiveness in quantifying resilience dynamics, though its current focus on physical infrastructure presents limitations in capturing socioeconomic and institutional factors. Nonetheless, this study establishes a scalable foundation for integrating such dimensions in future research.

Thus, this study considered how academia should behave, collaborate, and coordinate through the case of Japan in 2024. As a result, while Japan has a comprehensive federation of researchers and academic societies, coordinating the research activities has been challenging. This difficulty stems from the federation’s lack of authority to control academic societies and researchers, lack of consensus building regarding the “fallacy of composition” in disaster science, and the involvement of numerous stakeholders. The plethora of research opportunities and the various grants have been identified as risk factors contributing to project fragmentation and research duplication.

Abundant evidence suggests that the central government effectively managed and controlled the southwestern region during this period. Nevertheless, in-depth exploration is necessary to delineate the dynamic interplay between environmental changes and social development. This study conducted chronological, grain-size, and spore-pollen analyses on sediment from the T8SW section at the Chengba site in southwestern China, aiming to investigate the hydrology, vegetation, and climate changes during the Han and Jin Dynasties (202 BC-AD 420). The WAPLS (Weighted Average Partial Least Squares Regression) method was also employed to reconstruct the paleoclimate quantitatively. The results showed that in the early and middle phases of the Western Han Dynasty (202-48 BC), this area was characterized by a subtropical-warm temperate mixed forest and grassland landscape. The Jinguan relic is nestled within a serene riverine bay and wetland expanse, boasting lush vegetation. During the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty (AD 25–420), with the cooling of the climate and the drying of the sedimentary environment, this area transformed into a warm temperate forest and grassland landscape. The position of the Jinguan relic gradually emerged out of water, evolving into high floodplains and terraces with sparse vegetation. Upon entering the Eastern Han Dynasty, a substantial alteration occurred in pollen concentration and composition, which might have been associated with intricate variations in hydrological environments, climate change, and human activities. Quantitative reconstruction approaches have reconstituted the annual precipitation (Pann) and mean temperature of the coldest month (MTco). These data reveal that the climate in the area experienced a ‘warm and humid - cold and dry - warm and humid' cycle from the Han to the Jin Dynasty. Notably, a significant dry climate event occurred around the transition between the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties, approximately AD 8–25. Archaeological and documentary data suggest that changes in human activities within the area were closely linked to variations in vegetation and climate. The shift in fluvial hydrological regimes under the cooling and aridification trend during the Eastern Han Dynasty likely served as the primary catalyst for both the architectural transition from stilt-based to ground-level construction methods, as well as the significant rise in both the quantity and depth of water wells. Simultaneously, the large-scale urban construction and the boom in the mining and smelting industry during the middle and later periods of the Eastern Han Dynasty likely led to selective logging.
